That's a lot of trees

People are going to ask for all the trees to be like Rider, lets be honest.

Some of the others are cool, the Hunter one is humorously boring.

[doledippers]

interesting. it looks like they renamed Ruby Adept to Flameshaper for evoker. The new one definitely sounds cooler

Love that we do get the Mounted Combat even with the outdoor only restriction for Rider of the Apocalypse.

They better take the opportunity to do an HD Death Charger, it currently looks like ass.

i think this is a reasonable compromise, if you just gave DK's mounted combat everywhere it would be pretty broken and would make every other DK tree not even close. imagine having 100% movespeed for raids and m+, would be broken as fuck

Perma mounted combat for world quests, then swap to the divine steed talent for dungeons and raids.

I think the idea is you get both?

[Lorgar Aurelian]

Really surprised that farseer actually looks pretty cool with ancestors rotating in and out.

[Nymrohd]

I think I like most of these concepts but I do hope they manage to make them all look cool. We know the Four Horsemen and the August Celestials look great but e.g. how will Ancestors look? And Hellcaller looks entirely based on Satyrs; maybe give them some Satyr-like Customization?

It's a choice node.

Hopefully like the storm earth and fire guys monks get but with racial gear with a lot of variety id say.

And you know know no orcs showing up to back up my dwarf.

Slayer looks interesting, i hope we will get some new effects for bladestorm and execute, i don't want venthyr colors on execute anymore, but more orange-reddish like warrior rage bar or something.

Rider of the apocalypse sounds looks the most fun on paper from all of these tho.

What is that Shadopan Monk tree ... it's the most uninspired thing I've ever seen. The August Celestial one looks awesome though.

[infinitemeridian]

None of these trees are on the level of the Frostfire tree, that's the only tree released so far that is mildly interesting.

I think it's a waste that there isn't a Shadopan summon element to it. It's just a generic kungfu track. Not even smoke bombs.

Spellslinger reminds me of the needler from Halo

[allegrian]

The rider of the apocalypse looks lit, and the slater druid sounds nice

Based on what? According to this Q&A they said they do plan on updating Eastern Plaguelands & other zones during Worldsoul Saga, effectively removing the Thalassian Pass loading screen entirely. Exactly where Quel'thalas ends & Lordaeron begins has always been a point of contention, both within the lore & borders of the game.

If anything, they should revamp most of Northern Eastern Kingdom, mainly because it's stuck with Classic's design philosophy for a zone by having multiple mini-zones walled off by filler mountains, but we see less and less of that philosophy in later expansions where they actually design mountains that feel more natural and not just filler to separate zones.

They could even update Alterac Mountain and make it actually useful for something instead of just leaving it as a dead zone with nothing worth while aside from one quest in Stormwind to fetch some tiara.
