Cataclysm is one of those changes that are so huge, it'll either be awesome, or suck horribly.

This looks very interesting, but I'll have to see how the drood specs change before I make my final decision. The one thing that might cause me to dislike it is the fact that you have to devote 31 points to a single spec before you can unlock the other 2 trees. I don't know a single druid regardless of role, that isn't specced into Improved MotW and Omen of Clarity.

I think that's the point though. They're changing all the talents to remove those worthless talents or the ones that you HAVE to put points into to get what you really want.

They are trying to get it to when all the active skills are deeper in the trees so that you basically can only get some passive with your other 10 points.

As Haven said, It'll either be awesome or sucketh with much vigor.

I'm sure they'll make it work just fine, I'm just curious to see how it works out.

Imp motw is passive so it's definitely leaving. Omen of Clarity they said is a tough one to figure out, they may make it tier 1 or trainer-taught. This is seriously the most awesome change I have seen announced in the entire time I've been playing / following this game and definitely has me interested in giving Cata a shot.

Tree of Life is gonna be a 45 sec duration, 5 min cooldown. What the hell is up with that??? Temporary forms? Druids don't do temporary!

Tree of Life is the only form going temporary for many reasons, all of which are justified.

It's the principle of the thing. Druids are all about forms.

Tanking gets Dire Bear
Melee DPS gets Cat
Spell DPS gets Moonkin
Healing gets Tree of Life

Why can't they make it so we still get ToL as a nondurational, but can activate Improved ToL or something to increase healing. Don't take my tree form!

There is a huge explanation on why they're doing it scattered throughout various blue posts.

Can you link to where ever you got the info on multiple treeforms Mongo? I looked around on the Cata page and couldn't find anything about it in the forums. I'll keep looking though.

What do you mean multiple tree forms?

He had a note on his Real ID status while I was playing earlier that said something about three ranks of the skill. I hadn't found anything on the forums about it, just alot of people whining about them taking away treeform.

Unlikely since there are no more spell ranks in Cataclysm.
