I'm sorry if i missed it somewhere, but does anyone have a talent tree spec that would be best for soloing/questing? I'm about to start the beta and from everything I read, holy seems to be the best way to go.

The new blizcast is out so someone might want to listen to it to find if theres something relevant to mages in there.

Thanks for any help
Any comments on gear or talent build are welcome as well

Greetings,

I just respecced from BM to Survival because the regular survival hunter quit the game. I've tried reading most of this thread to see if my question has already been answered once, but I couldn't find it. The question being if I should go for 7/20/34 with the Felspine and Bindings of Lightning reflexes (and consequently, which rotation to use with that) or stay with my current spec and don't go for haste. My guild is expecting to start tries on Brut soon and as such I have picked up LW together with a few other people. I'm pretty sure I'm always in a drummer group. You'll notice I don't have 4 T6 pieces yet but that will be sorted before having a go at him. So, any quick tips

?

My armory btw.

Posting to inform you that crying about Thunderstorm has officially begun on Beta forums.

Congrats on the Bow, it is very nice! I like.

Now, get rid of the nub title. Honestly, who wastes money and buys a title.

Of the two roles suggested by Blizzard: "best tank when the boss can't crushing blow" and "best tank that can also dps," neither will apply in WotlK. The first (assuming that bosses will remain lvl 83) because crushing blows will only come from 4+ level opponents. The second, because it should have been stated as "best tank that can also (single target dps)". The Prot Pally tanking adds during Felmyst Phase II does alot more damage than any WWS I've seen for a feral attempting the same job, or doing boss dps and helping on the adds.

While I appreciate Greven's suggestion (as impractical as it was), I don't think thats the right direction. Who wants to be the "niche" tank for "gimmick" fights, whether based on being able to shift out of forms or some other unique druid ability?

According to Blizzard, Warriors are the physical mitigation tanks, Paladins are the AoE tanks, Death Knights look set to be the "magic damage" tanks. I honestly don't have a good solution for Blizzard. The "Threat" tank for "Frenzy" Bosses suggestion sounds workable, in that we will already have good mitigation and do more single target dmg, but that still plays into what seems like a fairly limited and "gimmicky" dependent role.

At the end of the day, it looks like we are left as the "Second best" tank that has good physical mitigation and "Second best" AoE threat (depending on how DKs work out). Not sure being "second best" is what any of us are interested in, and it certainly doesn't sound like a description that anyone would want for their Main Tank, if indeed Blizzard intends any of the four classes to be a raid MT.

Death Knights will definitely be better AoE tanks than Feral Druids, and Warriors probably will be as well.

As to Bimbly's desire to have a more "reactive" nature to Destro, I can only suggest the following:

Give Chaos Bolt an innate +50% crit damage modifier.

This solves 2 problems. A) it makes Chaos Bolt more PvE viable. And B) Makes it desirable as a "reactive" spell to maximize DPS when combined with an Empowered Imp build.

Any thoughts on that?

OP in pvp.
