4th talent trees?

[Gerina]

after just reading the "darkranger for rogues" thread I wondered if they could do the same for all classes with new talent trees..
for example:
Archmage:
when you cast fireball your next arcane blast does +x% dmg, when you cast arcane blast your next frostbolt does +x% dmg, when you cast frostbolt your nextx fireball does +x% dmg... that sort of thing
Archdruid:
a healing/damage hybrid wich works with direct heals and Dot's, roots and wisps do most of it, but also moonlights and throwing leaves that summon an immobile tree at a location cleaving nearby enemies..
Dark ranger:
as mentioned before, a ranged spec for rogues
Ranger:
a healing? or melee spec for hunters.. not much ideas here
dunno:
a melee-shielding/healing spec for paladins.. "holy charge" you charge player X healing everyone near him/her for X and causing your next sacred shield to shield for +100%... that sort of thing.
Shield of Earth:
a shaman tank spec wich works with an aura.. for every totem active you deal X less damage but cause +Y% of the original threat, also take less damage.. also things like increased stamina, convert crit and haste to def and block rating so you can still use hunter/enhancement gear..

just ran out of idea's here but please comment..
oh and yes it'l be hard to balance and won't come with cata but I'm sure that one day we'l all get a 4th talent tree..

why just dont give everyone everything? so much easier amirite?

The ONLY reason to add a 4th spec would be to get rid of pure dps classes so we no longer have to worry about "im a mage i deserve to do 5% more damage over that dk even though i had to burn adds!!!"

btw 5%?
Out of 7k dps (respectable for a tank n spank fight)
5%= 350 dps

350 dps? Go to a dummy and the rng will change ur dps by at least 350

Thery's enough theorycrafting with 3 talent trees pl0x

Blizzard can't even manage to balance 3 trees. To answer your question, No.

It wouldn't work. It'd be far too complex to manage and balance.

Though I'd certainly enjoy a mage tree dedicated to tanking.

Whelps are srs bsns. Don't get it twisted.

A 4th talent tree... hmmm

My mains: Dr00d and spriest.
That'd be, one dedicated cat and one dedicated bear? And then a more viable holy dps tree?

[koodledrum]

i think we're already spoiled having dual spec - i think 3 trees offers enough versatility for most classes when combined with DS.

It's called Frost + All your targets are slowable and sheepable. You can tank easily *I did fairly well in a Reg UK yesterday, though of course bosses were trouble o.o;*

Also, the whole Archmage idea just sounds like a single talent.

[Zortorai]

[anaalius]

would not work. kinda nice idea tho

[mitchimitch]

titan's path is pretty much the 4th talent tree

[legendariuz]

[Wat]

No. Just no.

Take a look at the current talent trees... etc.

Your avatar scares me.

yeah, people seem to be to lazy and dont want to level more characters so they whine about how they want to be able to do everything.
Speaking of doing everything, druids can already do everything, Tank, Heal, spell dps, Melee dps, what more do you want them to do?

Troll form - Turn into an mmo-champ troll and instant kill everything and everyone you come acrosss with your whining ability. Also, you have over 9000 resilience.

And the whole "NEW HERO CLASS, ARCHMAGE/ARCHDRUID!" ideas are just getting really...really...dumb..
I mean we have a mage and druid class already, do you want a Super fireball or Mega bearform that badly?

[draticus]

There should be a 4th tree but it should be pvp talents and it should get its own pool of points to spend completely separate from pve talents.

[Daginni]

As of right now, Blizzard is having trouble figuring out how to Balance the Trees currently in place. So adding a fourth wouldn't be the smartest idea.

Also, making the 4th tree with things like "Dark Rangers" would just be Hunters without pets, so you might as well give the Melee Huntards what they always wanted, and make them Rogues with Pets.
