Blizzard Worldwide Invitational is live!
And see what the class panel conversation brought us! New wotlk class info!
Some new stuff I haven't seen before:
| Quote: | Hunter:
* All kind of pets will have their own talent tree. A tanking talent tree, a DPS talent tree, and an utility talent tree. Each kind of pet family will have its own talent tree and its own unique ability. |
Definitely a positive thing, pets are boringly similar nowdays. A big yay from me.
| Quote: | Rogue
* Rogues will get a talent called "Fan of Knives", an AoE ability allowing them to attack all enemies within a short range. It will be some kind of "emergency" ability and you won't be able to spam it.
* Sap will now work on more targets, humanoids, beasts, dragonkins, demons. "Anything with a skull and a brain inside of it". |
Eh, like rogues need more emergency exits?
| Quote: | Paladin
* Retribution paladins itemization will be moved to the same item as Warriors/Death Knights
* A new reactive healing spell will be added - Hand of Purity.
* Paladin's short-term-blessings no longer overwrite long-term-blessings. |
I wonder what that "reactive healing spell" means really. Hmm..
Retri pala itemz are same as dps DK & dps Warrior? Or am I reading it wrong? Feels rather funny, dunno if it's a bad or good thing.
Anyway, go read all about it at http://www.mmo-champion.com/index.php?topic=9454.0
It will probably be updated as the conference developes.

Yeah, Druids are getting many "fixes" aswell.
Chance on hit enchants (like mongoose) works and we can drink pots in forms, yay!
And most of all, Windfury now works for druids, BIG CHEER!

FUCKING YES!
Its what I was whining for in BT the other day. My guess is they'll make it either a talent with like a 30 sec cooldown or a finishing move...

Got it already ^^
Anyways, procs in feral forms, AND:
| Quote: |
The attacker/target range mechanics are being re-evaluated it might be changed for Wrath of the Lich King to fix most of the existing bugs, including the ones affecting the attack range of Feral Druids.
|
FINALLY! Cat Range bug is FINALLY being fixed!

What the hell is that good for? It's hard enough to keep everyone happy as is. Having the ability to overwrite means being able to give the tanks sanctuary instead of salvation. Or the feral druids might instead of wisdom. Or .. well, you should catch the drift by now.
Dumbing down the game for no good reason again. The only nuisance regarding blessings is that the lesser ones don't last long enough. Gief 30 minute lesser blessings!

Feli, i trolled some forums, and found out that by short term blessings, they mean Blessing of freedom, protection, and the like, not the 10 min+ ones

Ah .. now that's an entirely different story there 
Kinda minor change though, won't affect the game much.
So barring fixing minor nits it seems so far Paladins get:
- A new "reactive" healing spell.
Is it just me or is blizzard just not prioritizing our class much?
