World-of-warcraft – How were talent trees overhauled for Mists of Pandaria

world of warcraft

There have been a lot of reports on the massive changes to the talent trees in Mists of Pandaria, but I haven't seen one place where everything is documented on how the new trees work. How have they changed from the current version, and what features have been added to make them better?

All of the new talent specs are on Battle.net and have been for months, now. Basically, talents have been changed from trees to tiers. Since Blizzard saw that most players chose the same talent points for particular specs, they turned most of those talents into base attributes of the class and specialization.

The current talents are primarily skills. From each tier, you can only choose one. And Blizzard has stated that you will be able to change talents easier, including no longer having to reassemble an entire talent tree whenever you respec.

Please note, as on the linked page:

All specs, spells and talents are not final and may change during the development process.
