When there is no choice, why pretend?

When there is no real choice in talent trees, why even have talent trees? Just pick one spec and have it give you everything at specific levels. The new talent trees offer no choice at all on what you build.

You're not even giving good options. Look, here's what you should be doing:

T1: [5pts] [5pts]
T2: [3pts] [3pts] [2pts] [2pts]
T3: ... and so on ...

Make the trees so that you actually have to choose something good, not "here's some garbage filler". Go look at the resto druid trees. There are loads of FERAL garbage all over the place! No one wants that! Stop making stupid "choices".

Furthermore, in their current state(*), there is no choice. You have to pick, or you get complete crap that no one cares if they miss out on it. Do you really think Shaman are excited about giving their totems 10% of their max health? Really? That's a PVP talent. I mean, you don't have any real choice any more.

What happened to making things fun or interesting? Give me two 5 point choices that don't suck for the top tier, and let me decide which one I want. Hey, you can even make them mutually exclusive. I don't care.

Just give me some actual choice, or take talents out and don't bother.



(*)Yeah yeah, I know they're new, but really, why are you taking all the choice out of it?
