WoW: WotLK talent trees give me a raging nerd-on
Mutant Pope | 7:05 AM on 05.28.2008 8 comments


The good folks over at Ripten have posted up links to leaked, alpha versions of the expansion's talent trees and some of the new abilities that we can expect. And I must say, the Death Knight's lists is rather boner inducing, if you're into that sort of thing.

Let me break down the math for you:

Plate class + diseases, summoning, and generally being an annoying fuckbag in pvp x DEATH COIL = zomgDOWANT.

So, you can see through this entirely scientific equation, the ship is sailing directly into a sea of awesome from which my social life may never return. It's a chance I'm willing to take.

And if that isn't enough to get your inner nerd skipping through a field of daisies and undead, the fact that Warriors will be able to DUAL WIELD with 2hand weapons should send you over the edge. Providing you play a warrior, of course (which I have been known to do).

The only downside is that it appears that Warlocks are being beaten, pummeled, and forcibly penetrated by the nerf bat. Which is sad, because I have also been known to play a Warlock. But, as long as the Death Knight ends up as fun as the talent tree suggests, I think I'll be just fine. After all, I can get my deathcoil on while WEARING PLATE ARMOR.

Mmmm. Plate armor...

Thats all great and stuff and i can hardly wait.not to deflate your happiness but the deathcoil i hope your not thinking of is some kind of lock deathcoil because its not. It will function like the death knight hero class in wc3 & wc3tft it will just heal you for a certain amount of hp w/no fear effects. also that lock stuff makes me sad since i mainly play one i'm hoping some of that stuff at least isn't true or changes. Other than that i can't wait till the end of '08.

Thanks Dark Travesty, I should have guessed DK death coil would be a bit different from Loc' coil, but its still cool none the less. Does this mean I can use it to heal my ghouls as well as damage foes? I sure do hope so. It'd make it just as useful as the fear effect, and actually, much more suited to the class. So... sweet.

Metamorphosis - “You transform into a Demon, with full health and mana. While in Demon Form, you gain Demonic abilities and your armor is increased to 360%, but your pet no longer is summoned

I call bullshit. This is from the Warlock spell list (seeing as how I played a Warlock since launch day, I'd look at that first). It just sounds.... not true

The very fact that they are actually giving Warriors the Titan's Grip talent we asked for in Burning Crusade after all this time makes me kind of want to play again. Still, even if I could rampage about the game world with an Ashkandi in each hand (and a third in my mouth for good measure) the majesty of the first year or so I played WoW is gone. It devolved into a game of numbers for me, and while I do enjoy overcoming the raid challenges I find the sense of awe simply isn't there anymore.

@Big Z: I doubt you can actually dual wield 2hand swords. It says you can equip 2handers with one hand, but I believe they're still considered "main hand" weapons, so the feeling I get (which may or may not be correct) is that you can wield a 2hander and a 1hander in your off hand. I could be wrong though.
