Warcraft Gets New Talent Trees in 4.0.1

With Patch 4.0.1 around the corner, there’s going to be some significant changes in this patch that’s prepping us for Cataclysm. The most noticeable change is they are completely redoing the talent trees.

We’re now back to Vanilla WoW’s 31 point talent trees. Of course they added a whole new twist . Each talent tree getting it’s own moves and buffs specific to that tree. They took out all of the “fluff” talents and made each one unique and useful in it’s own way. This hopefully preventing the cookie cutter builds of today’s talent trees from occurring again.

MMO-Champion came out with the new class talent calculator and you can preview it all here.

I’m personally stoked for the new changes. I miss the old basic talent trees. I remember when they first came out with the 41 point trees I felt overwhelmed with options. Then cookie cutter builds became the only real way to play the class. I think this will be a success and allow them to balance the class specs easier.
