    Mists of Pandaria Talent Calculator Feb 16 Update Changes
    The final list of changes brought by the recent update of the Official Talent Calculator is finally complete and it definitely deserves a dedicated news post. However, we wouldn't be a very good website if we only did talent diffs and my very lovely team of moderators went through all the skills to list absolutely all the changes brought by this version of the talent calculator!

    Thanks to chaud for coordinating and working on the whole thing, and Migari, Kelesti, Radux, Longview, Swizzle, and Elysia for helping out with the changes!

    Feel free to report anything we missed in the comments!

    Can't help but thinking that these "talents" will be impossible to balance for PvP.

  3. #3
    The new mage talents are amazing.

  4. #4
    Aquatic form only lasts 5 seconds? Odd...

  5. #5
    *Psychic Scream causes enemies to flee for 1 min.*

    1 minute....sure :-P


    *Dispel Magic now has a 8 second cooldown. Mana cost decreased to 3%, down from 16%.*

    Okay..first it was useless due to the mana costs...now it's useless due to cooldown(sorry...if I see how many buffs enemies have then I need what: a minute just to dispell them? Wasted time).

  6. #6
    Looks like i´d better reroll from hunter to shaman... Whats up with the hunter nerfs? lol

  7. #7
    Oh lawdy the hunter nerfs they burn, I really like what there doing with Mages and Pallys though. Hopefully it'll make both classes a bit more fun to play.

  8. #8
    They are "nerfing" everyone not just hunters....read it all. Also there's been no numbers test at all for a Beta so thing are subject to change.

  9. #9
    my age shall reign!

  10. #10
    the new mage shields are such bull shit lol there are so many ways for them to abuse these shields in a raid situation

    I only read the relevant

  12. #12
    Since someone will ask: Chances are the reason behind turning the class mounts into spells is due to account wide mounts they are interested in adding, and are testing with pet battles with companions. Otherwise the class mounts would not be class specific, which they want. As a hunter, I don't see an issue, to be honest. They want us using something other than Multi Shot for AoE. Did you not see Glaive Throw? That skill sounds A. Awesome, and B. Painful. Also, Powershot. Oh boy, Powershot. On top of this, most of the classes had a majority of their abilities weakened by 50%. Most likely due to wanting to keep DPS from not changing too much. This is apparently what they chose to do with the big crunch.

  13. #13
    I like the new warlock spells and talents

    As far as i know blizzard they will redesign/change it for about 10 times additional minimum. ^^Anyway. These MoP Talents seem to be nice.

  15. #15
    I must say Blizzard is experts at nerfing stuff after changing a spell totally.First they make our Beacon of Light into a spell you have to cast and took away its run speed and now they nerf it even more by giving it a cd... I just dont understand why they cant let some stuff be its not like its that good anyways anymore

  16. #16
    PVP: I dont like the Cripplechange for Warriors but i luuuv Safeguard removing movementimpairing effects - Teamwork to pull off some good pressure is needed right there, which makes stuff much more fun...And Overpower didnt get a 50% nerf yet, which will make it a haard hitting ability matched to others in this state

  17. #17
    Rend has been removed. Well, there goes the "idiot keyturner warrior" line of "BUT IF I MOVE WITH MOUSE, HOW I CLICK ON REND?!"

    I am greatly disappointed with the fact these abilities appear to say they're going with the number crunch option. This means it will be near impossible to solo anything, and thus acquiring certain old school items will become near impossible without finding the ever-so-rare like minded people to assist you. R.I.P. soloing old raids / 2-3 manning semi old raids.
