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!

    One thing- they added Shamanistic Rage back in, it was accidentally left off, or they reconsidered it.

    The Cataclysm Beta didn't start until June 30th from what I remember, so you're right. I doubt they'll start beta soon.

    Just skimmed through hunter and didn't notice any direct changes. I'll look into it more closely tomorrow morning. Maybe some neat change has been done. Same skills though it seems.

    Mysticism is the "you wear only cloth" bonus that all priests get at level 50. Unlike certain other classes, you don't really have a choice in getting this bonus. All specs get it.

    Disc will AoE heal thorugh Holy Nova.
    To get there, I expect Holy Nova to be radically reworked.
    - First of all, they need it to heal for more than 2 digits worth of damage per cast.
    - Second, The name is wrong.
    - Third, as this is the only AoE heal for a disc priest, it will either need a range increase, OR be targettable somehow.


    Of course, the latter option would put it right up the alley of the new paladin AoE heal, and reinstate all the Circle of Healing with no cooldown issues. So I'm not really sure what will happen, but it will probably work itself out somehow. I expect they will keep the spammable part though. It's not really Holy Nova unless it is spammable like crazy

    No doubt, disc will be stronger at Single target healing than AoE healing. But you can't take the ability to AoE heal completely away from a disc priest. Unlike today, Holy Nova will have to be worth casting in MoP. We'll jsut have to wait and see how.

    Warlocks -- Destruction Destructive Influence looks new if I remember correctly... It makes your imp's fireballs reduce the cast time of your soul fire by .1 sec and stacks 40 times.

    They also lose divine hymn which is a big oh shit button. That and PoH loss will be huge if they don't do something to compensate.

    Mind-bottling. Its a play on mind boggling, hence the rest of the sentence.

    I get that, but I've never heard of thoughts being so chaotic as to be caught in a bottle. Emotions being bottled-up, sure. But if things are as "what is this, I don't even" as they suggest I'd've imagined more like a thought explosion or just a blank slate of a mind. Whatever, semantics.
