Blizzard unveils Mists of Pandaria talent calculator

The druid one is quite interesting..

Talent Calculator

This official calculator is full of surprises, spells have been updated since Blizzcon and new class spells appeared! We're still going through everything, stay tuned for more information. Feel free to post anything new you might see in comments!

It's interesting to see how some of the old talent abilities are getting baked in as passive buffs or as learned abilities as we level. Sadly it still looks like they have Beast Mastery for 69, but there's no listing for 86-90 yet, so it very well could change.

I just finished browsing through the calculator and came here to make a thread and you beat me to it XD i can definitely say, i am VERY happy with the hunter and druid (havent looked at the other classes i actively play). They gave Druids a Feral and Guardian talent tree. Feral is the cat form and Guardian is the bear form. We finally are distinct for all 4 of our combat shapeshifts!! (BTW those of you who play druids, look at Wild Charge, you will be ESTATIC)

Actually, looking again it seems as though Kill Command is still listed in MM and SV, even though they said it would be changing to a BM-only ability. So definitely a work in progress, maybe we'll see Beast Mastery come at a lower level after all once they do a full sweep.

That and cheetah still dazes, which they said they where looking at removing.

It did leave me wondering about AOTP however...

One other thing, did AOTF change? I did not recall it giving focus on melee hits before? Oh and it says "her" in the AOTF tool tips too, that did make me smile

[Kayb]

i would imagine the tooltips will still link to what is currently active in game for the time being.

Has anyone else noticed that Warlocks now have a talent in MoP that allows them to summon a second minion for 30 sec.? Exactly how long have HUNTERS been asking for this ability?

This particular talent has been out since BlizzCon and yes, it has spawned discussions here already.

It's generally cool, but at certain points I struggle with choosing an option. Not because they're all so cool and useful, but because most of those are completely useless to my chosen spec! Like, oftentimes there's a whole tier where all three talents are healing oriented or melee-oriented. What is my boomkin supposed to choose at level 15? Which of the cat-specific abilities that he will NEVER use?

Feline Swiftness is a passive boost to speed, and doesn't turn you into a cat. So obviously that one :U
But yeah, the choices are a bit... odd

[Kayb]

there are a number of them where i feel like there really is no option but to choose a particular talent, no matter how much they say there's no cookie cutting anymore, i can still see plenty of it.

[Lisaara]

Well seems taming exotics is still at 69. I kinda saw that coming.

[Raiyen]

I am not going to lie...I am actually excited to see the Druid talents...lol

Sadly it still looks like they have Beast Mastery for 69, but there's no listing for 86-90 yet, so it very well could change.

Here's hoping. The only even semi-valid argument for doing it that way in the first place was 1) because they didn't want to have to reshuffle the placement of exotics in lowbie zones and 2) slotting in as the lvl 69 "identity" spell (when MM / SV start off with aimed / explosive...) was simpler than having to come up with something more creative.

But MoP is a second chance for them to get it right; thus far though it makes one wonder if anyone at Blizzard even realizes some hunters are less than thrilled with exotics at lvl 69.

Still, as you say things are still in the design phase, so there is hope our new panda BM hunters will get to start off with something more on-par with their MM/SV cousins...

the druid one doenst make sense to me. Im a resto druid, and some of the talents which i have to choose from imo have ZERO use to me ..but maybe they will when i get used to a new playstyle
