I'll have to look at the new calculators to see how it will effect my overall spec, but I'm happy about these changes to the feral tree, too
 
This new feral tree.... *sigh*

it's love/hate.

love: filling up the feral tree's new goodies take less points.

hate: getting +10 enrage now takes 13 talents instead of 7. Oh boy, did I mention that filling up the feral tree is only 6 talents cheaper? now I have 5 talents in useless places!

love: I can easily get +10 enrage, +30% mana/5, and clearcast!

hate: but I still have to waste valuable talents to do so.

Somewhere I got the impression that everyone will get a free respec with the expansion. Can anyone confirm/deny this?
 
Thank you, Angie. Your comprehensive knowledge of all things WoW is truly encyclopedic. How you can hold so much information in that little gnomish cranium is beyond me.
 
Bah, I just surf and use search functions:) I thought I remembered a post by Drysc on that also that was earlier than Neth's, and thought I had posted it already, but couldn't find it. So, Nethaera's will do.
 
??? Am I missing something or did they buff the BE pallies with an increase in Seal of Blood while they nerfed Alliance pallies with the other reductions?
