Cata Poll: Best built talents/trees so far?

#0 - Aug. 27, 2010, 9:39 p.m.

Basically, from what you know of classes, their mechanics, the trees, and expectations from the beta trees thus far, what Talent Trees or single talents do you think are the most attractive, most well built, and or most unique?

Remember, just talent trees and talents, it's not class specific, so you could say things like "I think Prot warrior/Elemental Shaman feel and look the most completed and powerful right now."

Don't derail the thread, but criticism and QQ is fine.

Edit: detailing.

While we're not interested in polls, because they contain little information, we are interested in opinions on which talent trees are the most exciting.

However.

It isn't of much use to us if you like a talent tree because of one particular ability. That tells us little about the talent tree as a whole.

Likewise, your opinion won't count as much (in our minds anyway) if you like a talent tree just because it has all the talents you wish *your* class had. In that same vein, this is probably one case where you're more objective when you find that you like your own talent tree rather than just being all wistful about someone else's toys.

Q u o t e:
There is little or nothing new especially in the way of fun talents to encourage continued acceptance of the DK nerfs/neglect of the past. It really appears like the DKs have been neglected (typical) in the changes to cata....i mean look at the other class trees and the huge effort gone into them.

"Neglect" is one of those words that typically makes developers roll their eyes and skip over to the next post. Just so you know. :)

Even the original DK trees are not very old compared to all the others, so in that sense, they didn't have so many layers of build up cruft that needed shaking off. We've changed up some of the mechanics that weren't working and got rid of some of the boring passive damage, but overall we didn't feel the need to replace talents like say Rime, Dirge or Killing Machine.

I'm just saying that it shouldn't come as much surprise that the most recently designed tree didn't need as much overhauling as say warrior and mage, which hadn't changed much since vanilla.

Q u o t e:
DKs in Beta are going to jump all over this post. Why? Because this is the first post you have made in regards to DK in Beta since your May 20th post in the DK thread:

Please let's not play the "Who got the most posts?" game. It's not going to have the end result you are apparently hoping for.
