blessing of spell warding, makes the target immune to magical attacks but they're silenced

crusader aura, increases mounted speed of all party members within 40 yards by 20%

The Arcane and Fire Tier 9s honestly seem like really weak Raiding talents. Makes one wonder if PoM + Combustion won't be superior for a raiding build(21 arcane, 40 fire). How useful the Water Elemental is will definitely depend on its strengths and whether it can cast any spells or what its abilities will be.

The Fire one though seems like it'd be extremely powerful in pvp, especially combined with Invisibility. Run in, Disorient a whole group, wind up a flame strike, bam, blast wave, invis, disappear. Kind of makes the mage like an aoe-capable rogue.

hard to say how weak they'll be without seeing the new 25 man raids. if anything, there may be a lot of fights that'll benefit from the control an aoe scatter shot/extra slow can offer.

The new talents sure sound fun if they are real. I guess we will see when they start beta :)

Any word on the hunter ones? :p

I'm a little disappointed with the cooldown on Soul Shatter but it's a welcome addition. I don't suppose you know anything about the proposed Warlock talents? Mage talents seem interesting overall, but nothing mind blowing (other than the summon).

Ughh alot of the mage stuff sure does sound geared towards group pvp with all of these reduce chance to hit and crit and slows and the increase speed + immun to slowing effects. Sure makes me wonder what the melee classes are getting, if anything to counter this.

As well as not knowing how those talents will play in a 25 man raid, often the 31(or 41 I guess) point talents are not necessairly the ones that are awesome. Often it is the ones right before that.

The aoe disorient, maybe, but the arcane slow is single target, which almost assures it's not going to be any use at all in raids. The 25% int to damage talent, though, is pretty nice, so who knows.

With Arcane Potency, and AM and AoE finally being able to crit properly, Arcane might actually become a viable damage spec.

Prediction: Mind Mastery nerfed to affect only arcane damage, if these "leaks" are in fact valid.

EDIT:
Idiotic if true. Add mana drain poisons, health leech poisons, low-procrate "purge" poisons...

Threat isn't really an area for us that the expansion should be heavily focused on improving.

I hope to god they don't put in fights that require Xmages all specced for X 41 point talent...

Might as well put in a boss that can only take damage from Shield Slam.

Grain of salt.

Mutilate sounds like a very nice CP generator for combat dagger rogues. As long as those skills are not fake.

These both look very interesting. Mutilate especially. 30 energy for each combo point is very good, and the damage on this shouldnt be too bad either. I wonder if it is directional or not?

Shiv will be nice for pvp to get immediate crippling poison procs. Especially for builds that dont open with cheapshot.

Tranq Shot 41 point marks. With really shitty, worthless pre-reqs! Plus it'll still fail!

Fake as hell. All blast spells are instant (Mind Blast WAS instant but got nerfed between beta and release). A 2.5s blast spell is not a blast spell.

http://beta.worldofwarcraft.com/expansion/ is definitely fake.

Wow, a website that was blue posted about on the EU general forums a few days ago, your attention to detail is awesome.

Here, let's go to https://beta.wow-europe.com/expansion/

I'm fucking pro!

Most of the time I take "leaked" patch notes with a grain of salt...these changes...they don't scream "FAKE!" to me, I usually look at such things, and find that 1 just imbal overpowered thing that would screw up game balance. These changes not only interesting/believable, but they're not ridiculous either, they've very interesting. =D

Here's hopin.

That website screams scam to me.

These changes look like it will be impossible to kill a Mage as anything but a Warlock

Please tell me how to make a fake site like that I would certainly love to scam people by using the official google domain name! (That's a damn good scam, I'd like to meet the person that somehow puts a fake site on the official world of warcraft website that steals account information, maybe they can teach icitrik a thing or two!).

Incinerate alone makes me want to play my Warlock again holy balls.

also... Wounded? I assume that's the same thing as Execute state?

Yeah I thought that at first as well but

http://beta.worldofwarcraft.com is what they used to test the new beta fourms.

http://beta.worldofwarcraft.com/expansion/

This is the same URL, with /expansion added. O_o
