You could perhaps do an 11-6-54 build: War Tools :: Talent tree WotLK - Test
It's nice to so easily be able to get the improved GoA and Strength totems now. Quite a new DPS boost for melee in your group. |
I think the 11 in elemental all comes down to how Elemental Focus really works...it's worded as such (parapharased):
After landing a critical strike you enter clearcasting which reduces the mana cost of the next two damage spells.
So is "damage" counting as "damage AND healing" or is it just damage? If it's just damage obviously there are 3 points going into Resto.
I think there has to be serious consideration of eliminating Healing Way in favor of other talents in there. Not using the threat reduction I suspect is a very very bad idea for 5/10 mans at level 80. Maybe not so much for 25 man runs, but not many people will be doing those early.
Also, not being able to go 5/5 into Tidal Focus is worrisome....let alone not being able to put any points in Nature's Guardian at all....that talent has saved me more times than I care to count in BT.
And if you are going Crit based (which it certainly seems you will want to), you also want a full 5/5 in Tidal Mastery.
I'm counting 9-10 points in Resto that are not ticked in some of the Resto 11/6/54 builds.
I just don't know if 15% more on Earthshield is really worth giving up Threat Reduction or Spell Cost
