Breakfast Topic: Your 51-point talents

by Elizabeth Harper Aug 30th 2007 at 8:00AM

The Lich King is coming to World of Warcraft -- and with him ten more levels, ten more talent points, and (we presume) three additional tiers of talents for every tree. This means the question on the mind of many a theorycrafter is what these talents might be. And while it's been discussed thoroughly on the forums, today I'm asking you. What sorts of talents do you want to see available to your class for 51 talent points? And what sorts of talents do you expect Blizzard to implement?

(70 Hunter and Warrior)

While I'd like some more interesting skills+talents in the expansion, I've got a strong feeling Blizzard will do much the same as with TBC.

I don't mind too much, I'm more worried about current talents getting nerfed. Death Wish being the main target I fear due to its how it scales.

Bring on the Siege weps/Buildings in new *and* old BGs and I'm quite happy.

For the Retribution tree, I would love to see some sort of life regen to the group when we crit (dont think it will happen though) and hopefully before that an agro dump.

Flame Wreath for my fire mage. Try sprinting now ya damn rogues!

Improved felguard!

I'm a holy priest. Perhaps a 41 point talent would be a good start for us?

Dotixi Aug 30th 2007 8:47AM

As a 70 Warlock, and since there is no Necro class, I would like to be able to reanimate corpses. Heck I have a bag full of souls so why not a 51 talent that lets me unlease those souls on other poor souls. Mwah Ha ha...anyway.

Shadowpriest aggro dump would be sweet.

Tynk Aug 30th 2007 9:02AM

@7 did your fade key break?

For the Holy priest I would love to see a group renew spell.

Shadow Priest would be an improved Shadow fiend. Cutting mana regen to 10% of it's current, but it stays until dismissed (or is killed).

@#8, #7, I presume, is talking about a *permanent* aggro dump. Fade isn't that hot for spriests, its more for healers. Give spriests a FD/invisible/soul-shatter aggro dump.

@6

What about DK's =) ?

Ability to have 2 curses up at the same time.

gd1107 Aug 30th 2007 9:44AM

I don't think there should be 51 point talents...Add additional 41 point talents to make available a wider variety of builds.

Kotathalas Aug 30th 2007 9:24AM

A new animal form would be nice for the druids feral tree. I mean, balance get moonkin, and resto gets that tree thing...

fittiziofittizio Aug 30th 2007 9:24AM

A pet with warrior skills, some kind of fear, maybe something to heal me in combat while damaging.
Wait... maybe I should just reroll warlock?

Mervo Aug 30th 2007 9:27AM

I'd like just a normal Mage Spell available at 71 or so called Polymorph: Butterfly. I figure in PvP it would agitate the horde for great laughs!

As for talents: Arcane talent to make a copy of your self doing exactly what you are doing (ie shooting stuff at the same target just like 10 yds over (random if it is right or left) basically an illusion to fool folks.

Doyce Aug 30th 2007 9:37AM

Beastmaster: a two point talent in the tree somewhere that adds stable slots.

yotix Aug 30th 2007 9:43AM

#9: That's already available, you just need reputation with Sporeggar :-)

Todd Aug 30th 2007 9:47AM

All of the top tier talents for the Mage suck, and I would hope that time around Blizzard will actually get it right. These talents are not 51-point worthy.

Fizzl Aug 30th 2007 9:55AM

Mage:

Frost tree i'd like to see 5 tallent points that increase the duration of the water elemental until its permanant and 1 more point to give the water elemental a water aura that gives some mana regeneration to the party.

Final tallent point will be a ranged ice block that you can cast party/raid members or enemies.

Fire I don't play with this much but i think a verion of Flame Wreath and the fire shield from the mechanar astromancers would be fun talents.

There also needs to be a rare book drop called polymorph: Murloc

[Commenting as a Healing Priest]

As was pointed out previously, some decent 41's would be a good start.

An AoE HoT is a fabulous idea. I can see it being called "Triage."

A combat resurrection ability would be a godsend.

The ability to create uber-bandages the same way Mages can create water & food would be a nice addition, though certaintly not worth 51 points.
