Most of these talents aren't even in the right tree. Looks like a rush job to me.

And I have a feeling that FD is going to get nerfed with that Silent Hunter talent being added.

But I am curious to see what a Dragonhawk looks like.

Take back that last statement. Looks like they spent most of their time making our pets useful.

Leave it to blizzard to take one of the most useless things about a class and pour 75% on their budget money into that. Either that or work on a tree that almost no one uses and put useless talents in other trees... dont belive me? ask the priests.

Muirc

So we are now a healing class as well? Tall Striders and Healing Tongue FTW!!

BTW, there will be a stable change too. I just never mentioned it because I kinda forgot about it for a while.

Our current 3 slots of stables will stay 3 slots, however we can have a 4th pet out in addition to those 3 for an extra pet. In short, the stables will be for holding pets and the pet we have won't count towards that number.

I'm LOVING these pet abilities. It makes end game raiding with a pet almost crucial and anyone who says pets are useless a complete idiot. ^_^

For end-game im thinking about picking up a Tall-Strider =/ the mp5 will be nice.

shirokuma

I don't know.. I am still somewhat iffy about the new talent tree. Personally I am not overly impressed with it.. the 3 second silent shot.. wtf.. that is again scatter shot, only diff is the person can stay in your zone while you try to run away..

TG_Bear

I'm sure the tanks are falling to their knees in thanks for the silent hunter talent. :P
