Leaked mage talents/skills from expansion alpha.

Here's the supposed Paladin talents

Paladin

Spiritual Attunement (66): Gives the Paladin mana when healed by other friendly targets. The amount of mana gained is equal to 10% of the amount healed.

Blessing of Spell Warding (6Cool: A targeted party member is protected from all magical attacks for 10 sec, but during that time they are Silenced. Players may only have one Blessing on them per Paladin at any one time. Once protected, the target cannot be made invulnerable by Divine Shield, Divine Protection, Blessing of Spell Warding, or Blessing of Protection again for 1 min.

Crusader Aura (64): Increases the mounted speed by 20% for all party members within 40 yards. Players may only have one Aura on them per Paladin at any one time.

Seal of Blood (64): All melee attacks deal additional Holy damage equal to 30% of normal weapon damage, but the Paladin loses health equal to 10% of the total damage inflicted. Unleashing this Seal's energy will judge an enemy, instantly causing 409 to 451 Holy damage at the cost of 136 to 151 health.

Avenging Wrath (70): Increases all damage caused by 30% for 20 sec. Causes Forebearance.

...are they even trying anymore? That talent is as worthless as moonkin and it doesn't even come with a new dance. 41 Ret needs to be something on par with the other classes trees and that shit right there is worthless. Thats a 20 point talent or less, not a 41 point OMG JIZZ JIZZ JIZZ DROP YOUR EGGS IN THIS BASKET talent.

I'm reading that as a raid-wide 2% crit increase for every single one of your warriors/rogues/hunters/mages/warlocks/shadowpriests and whoever else is dealing damage to the judged target.

Is that not how everyone else is understanding that?

[Kasi]

Yeah seems a pretty amazing talent to me. Sure only useful in a raid setting, but it is a hell of a lot better than the current moonkin.

[Bixxby]

Retribution is a PvP tree, that 41 talent would be like giving the same thing to shadowpriests instead of shadowform.

That's actually kind of cool for prot, you'll probably see more 'combat healer' paladins like that.

For as much as warriors bitch about the 31 point prot talent, I'd love to have it as a prot paladin =p

No new threat reduction for warlocks? Hmm...


and yeah, sucky sucky for priest talents.

I don't think you have alot of clue.

First, as far as the designers are concerned, there is no such thing as a "pvp" tree in wow.

Retribution is an more offensive paladin tree. 2% crit to all the raid actually turn out to be pretty fucking uber when you consider alot of things. Make judging any target alot more powerfull for sure.

There's a new threat reduction ability. It costs a shard and lowers threat by 30%. It basically gay and a stupid concept. At least thats the rumor mill.

Supposedly we're getting a -30% threat spell (shard of course) at level 66. I'm ready to go on my 'copout' tirade again just by thinking about it.

[Cybsled]

Didnt someone say they rolled some -aggro into the dest/affliction tree talents that already exist? Whoever took those SS should have left out the shit thats the same (conflag, dp) and actually put up SS of the altered talents.

I'm predicting a Death Coil nerf somewhere, also.

It got nerfed in 1.12...for most epic'd out warlocks, it is doing roughly 200-250 less damage/heal. Also why should it be nerfed? Mages get a metric fuckton of instant escape abilities. Warlocks will still only have DC and their fears unless you spec heavy into destruction...that ae stun isnt a core ability, you realize this?

[Nehrak]

My general opinion is we should have different escape devices. (That's not to imply pets, either) I'm sure we can consider Death Coil a near crutch at this stage for our survivability factor.
