To that end, we’re pleased to announce we’ve just released an update to the calculator! In addition to bug fixes, we've made some changes as a result of your feedback.

Keep in mind this is still a very early preview of the Mists of Pandaria talent system, which will likely continue to evolve during development of the expansion. We also don’t plan on making further updates to the calculator until we get much closer to our testing phase, but rest assured we’ll still be considering your feedback throughout the development process.

Thanks to Radux for helping us with changes. Feel free to report anything we missed in the comments!

    3 new 90 talents for mages - arcane bomb, frost bomb and living bomb ^^

    Looks like Disc doesn't get Renew. I really hope I read that right.

    Can we get an overview? :P
    The most notable change is the lvl 87 skill. It looks like a fade on stereoids to me, and I must admit my first thought was that this is somewhat reduntant for a class that already has Fade....

    Another bombshell is that Holy seems to be the only spec to hold Prayer of Healing. Disc instead gets Holy Nova. Whoa.
    There is also a new passive handling healing pushback for Holy and Disc.
    Disc priests got Spirit Shell at the same level as Holy gets Heal, meaning this is the Disc "cheap weak spell". Kinda expected that one.

    And Mind Spike and Mind Blast is added for shadowpriests.

    There may be more, but that's what I can spot outright

    If they didn't, it was a bug. It would make no sense to take away an out of combat rez.

    Looks like Holy may "officially" be the only spec getting Renew, Heal, and Prayer of Healing. I'll be sad to see PoH go if this is true.
    Hymn of Hope appears to be Disc-only and Divine Hymn appears to be Holy-only too. Interesting.

    you know whats a bit retarded about these talent trees? Take a look at the shaman one - at level 45, two of the options are described as raid buffs

    hmm and no shockwave til level 90 now for warriors? seems odd.
