Legion Talent Calculator!

I just noticed that MMO Champ has a talent calculator ready after parsing all that data. Take a look:

I have to grudgingly admit that the new SV spec sounds pretty cool. Guess I'm not done huntering just yet. Hah. On a less grumpy note - Frost DK, all the shaman specs and MW Monks sound like a lot of fun. I can't wait to see the DH trees.

Wow, so THAT'S where all the BM PvP utility went! xD I love it already. Lots of really fun options.

Hopefully the damage capability of the passives is balanced correctly against the actives, so the actives are a bit better, but not so much they they are the defacto choice.

Also suspecting we'll be talenting in and out of the volley and flare talents based on the fight...

I'm not seeing Spirit Bond anywhere. As someone who enjoys challenging solos, this hurts my heart.

Huh. I would have sworn I'd seen it somewhere in there, but maybe I'm imagining it, as I don't see it either.

Slickrock - I believe there was a quote off twitter that this would be the case! Passives are, if I recall correctly, intended to be for players on alts who just want a fun and casual experience, whereas actives pull ahead for more experienced players.

And yes, lots of utility choices. I'm curious to see how these work out in action.

Volley as a lvl 90 BM talent! I remember using this when hunters still had mana...

But what does this mean...?

• Beast Mastery
  
  Initial Trait
  Guardian of the Titanspark (Rank 1) - When you use Call Pet, a permanent companion is summoned to fight for you.

So we get another pet? #confused

Where did you see that Spirit? I can't find it. Most intriguing. "Companion". It doesn't sound like it would be one of our other pets if it is a second pet, which would be a pity considering the change to stampede.
I'm very interested in the changes to some classes, but I'm not at all happy with BM. As I spend most of my WoW time on my BM main, this makes or breaks the whole experience for me. I really hope they change it. I still can't believe we lost camouflage. And spirit bond. Animal Instincts should really be a BM talent in my opinion. I'll wait and see before deciding about Legion, but currently I'm worried.

EDIT: Found it, didn't realise that the artifact had a talent tree. It looks pretty interesting too.

Seems to be the 1st thing you gain when you acquire Titanstrike

Just found it, thanks. Still, I'll take two pets. Can't complain about having more beasties I suppose.

I'm still frothing at the mouth that this might mean we actually get 2 perma pets, I just hope there is a glyph or it's a model from ones stable
