Well, the Imp. Barkskin talent is worded wrong. Barkskin gives you a 25% reduction in casting speed, not a flat reduction in seconds as that talent implies. If that was real, you'd cast Wrath faster with Barkskin on than with it off.

Plus Force of Nature seems insanely overpowered. In my mix of crappy Tier 1 and a bit of Tier 2 that's worth around 140 +damage/healing. That seems way too good for a 25-point talent.

Dreamstate is worded oddly. "Even while casting?"

Finally it seems a little odd to give all the casting classes except Priests a summon, when that was supposedly one of the Warlock's USPs.

Voting this fake. Although that balance tree isn't bad.

Why would they have people playing tauren in the tauren starting zone in the alpha? Seems like a fake to me.

The "survival of the fittest" talent looks pretty nice. Bonus attack power from int while in moonkin form! rawr

Barkskin slows your attack speed by 25%, your non-instant casting times are increased by a flat one second modifier, so that much at least rings true.

The talent is a carbon copy of the Shaman Restoration talent, Nature's Blessing, which is only two tiers higher in a tree for healing, so it wouldn't be terribly overpowered in that position in one of the druids two DPS trees.

But yes, these are probably fake and that makes me sad, I so desperately want to believe!

Just a thought, but if Summon Treant is a genuine talent it will make balance druids the only characters capable of removing all 4 types of debuff.

The Shaman Elemental talent with the same effect also uses that same phrasing. http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/...n/talents.html

So that alone is not a reason to not believe it. ;)

I do think this makes Balance from one of the least attractive to one of the most attractive Druid trees, but the new feral/restoration talents it has listed are pretty hot as well. The Treant seems a bit over the top on utility though; and it seems odd it's described so well in it's tooltip compared to the Water Elemental and Felguard talents. That's one of the biggest reasons I'd call fake on this.

If these go to press, i would say 2 restoration and noe feral druid in a party of 25 for ultimate utility. 5% damage increase +25 to agility and strength for only 120 mana as a buff would be a necessity for optimal DPS.

Plus look at the logevity and natures reprieve talents in the resto tree, blizzard never describes stuff in tooltips like that.

Also theres the whole none of these talents are in the curse db thing, but this is the third thread in the past few days to mention that.

The Moon and Stars talent makes this thing fake in my opinion. With 3 points in it I assume it would make it 100% since 1 point is 33% and 2 points 66% etc. So with this talent it would give a 100% chance to return 10% cost of spells cast against target with the debuff. I would also point out it doesn't specify wether its the druids only spells who any casters spells hitting the target. Still being it the druids only spells it still seems a bit overpowered from my view.

These screenshots have ben posted before and I still don't believe there 100% correct especially since Blizzard have stated there still working on the druid / hunter / priest talents.

If it's druid only it doesn't seem particular over / underpowered vs the clearcasting talents available to other classes.
