They don't seem to understand, people like choices, I know "5% to Heroic Strike damage" doesn't sound great, But people like choices..

It's what made DAOC great, You had choices on your gear, its why there was a HUGE template community, You had choices on specs so some extent, RA's..

Blizzard seems to completely lost that people like CHOICES..



Choices are fine if they truly are choices, but the current system and your example are anything but. I would prefer choices as they seem to be headed, where I have to choose between one of three variations of a thing. That way I can be my version of class X because I like a particular ability to function a certain way.

I don't want choices just for choices sake, it isn't a choice when only a moron would not choose it or only a moron would.

'our' version won't really be 'your' version when ever single other person using the same class and spec as you has the exact same skills that you picked now will it?

The funny part is, based on looking at the rogue tiers. The talents add absolutely nothing new to the game, they all look like the same ones Rogues have had forever. (save for maybe leeching poison?) So all they did was rework the system to span the extra levels without having to add anything new.

I didn't think they could dumb it down anymore than they did with Cata.

WTB my thorns Pally build with the old school talent trees again, please.


Here is my current understanding.

When you create a character, you choose a class. In my case, Rogue.

When you reach level 10, you choose a specialization: Assassin, Combat, or Subtlety. You receive your signature abilities (like Mutilate, Dual Wield Spec, and Shadowstep).

As you level, you learn both Rogue specific abilities from your trainer (like Sinister Strike, backstab, et cetera), and specialization specific skills (the ones you used to get for talent points like Vigor, Blade Flurry, Hemo, et cetera).

At level 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, and 90, you get to pick a super special talents. Here is where you get to define yourself as different... kinda, but not really.

As far as I can tell, except for the 6 super special talents, you are exactly like the other Rogue/specs around you. Odds are, we will have cookie cutters even still.



So you still pick one of the 3 specs at 10 but the talents for all 3 specs are the same?

Talents yes, but each specialization gets their own trainable skills that come as you level up.

3*3*3*3*3*3 = 729 different combos of slightly varying abilities that do the same thing just a little differently, or are marginally useless anyway.
