Cataclysm Beta - Build 12479 (Updated x3)

[oceanblur]

It's like 1 quest you get in a city that sends to you some place that will have a whole bunch of quests for you, its a sort of bread crumb trail to the questing areas, EX. i hear so and so needs help in XXX zone go help them or EX2. I haven't heard back from XXX in a while, he was last known is XXX go see if you can find out what happened. They will be in the capital cites like Stormwind/Orgrimmar that send you out to zones of your appropriate level.

Ahh i see, much appreciated, now im off to find breaded chicken

Anyone else notice that thousand needles looks like a penis now? lol

[Redshirtdude]

Zomg. Elemental Fury exclusively for elem now? So enhance's spell crits will Suck big time? Please don't tell me that the sky is falling already

Seems great, although Pyroblast for fire mages seems a bit weak compared to what the other classes/specs get. But you never know, we don't know much yet. Leveling my cataclysm alts will be a blast for sure!

All the level 10 primary skills are just awesome.

Priest - Holy
Desperate Prayer

Yet despite this, the unused zone north of the Plaguelands is still there. Intriguing.

From what I can tell, that area is Stratholme, or at least where Stratholme should be. Also, I'm still not sure if these are the final set of "Primary Skills" we're getting. At least I thought the Blues stated they didn't want ret paladins getting Divine Storm so early and warlocks getting the Felguard before their Voidwalker seems too early.

[Heyer]

Arcane Barrage at level 10? Time to get a Highborne!

A first pass on new talent trees has been implemented.


* Each specialization has been reduced to a 31-point talent tree.
* Players will now get a total of 41 talent points to spend.
* 31 points must be spent in the primary specialization tree before any points can be placed in additional trees.
* Players will be asked to choose a specialization at level 10. Doing so will result in the unlocking of a spell or ability unique to that specialization, as well as one or more passive bonuses.
* While this is a first pass on all of the talent trees, death knight, druid, paladin, warlock, Arcane mage, and Assassination rogue trees are not as far along as other specializations.
* More information regarding our plans for talent trees can be found on our Cataclysm forum.

Demonology gets Felguard at level 10? Well I'll be damned, looks like I'll finally be able to level a warlock!

That was odd after the specifically stated a few days ago that the Felgaurd at 10 was unlikely.

I'm not sure what to make of this. It seems like people are getting pigeon holed very early into specific roles.

They did say that, so this skill list is probably outdated already (or the devs changed their minds).

[Soaringbiscuit]

Looks like Hunters and Warlocks get cheaper when it comes to lv 10 abilities. One each?!

[Gami]

Can't wait to see these talent trees.

No, does not work for me. -.-

[Nathiest]

I thought Holy Shock was going to be a general spell that all pally spec's could use?
