    Blizzard is going to make so much money with Heroes of the storm, hearthstone (pack buying?) and people returning to wow, the US government should ask them for a loan.

    The launch trailer DID NOT do all the changes and tweaks justice what so ever.

    So artwork from 1996 from the Warcraft 2 manual counts as "concept art"? Also see some "concept art" from the Burning Crusade (Velen) and the comic book series (the other Velen).

And more it looks like this could be very cool and the garrisons are pretty big to boot..

    All Savage Roar does is make Feral damage equal to everyone elses, so much so that the glyph is mandatory. Unless the spell is buffed, this is simply yet another mandatory talent we have to take, and instead of a cool new spell, its a QoL change.

    Squish will prob. be like it was damage in TBC (awesome!) finally normal numbers,also petless hunter yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and that last rogue talent looks amazing.

    Basically this. This frees up a glyph slot and takes away a button press a few times a minute.. but not much else.
