The Real Potential of the Mists of Pandaria Talent System


An interesting discussion started on the MMO-Champion forums about Blizzard's next expansion for World of Warcraft, Mists of Pandaria.
This discussion presented the idea of giving all WoW classes a 4th spec: Fourth Spec for More than Druids.
Although this discussion is far from anything new, this time people are actually getting comfortable with the idea. My opinion about that? It's about damn time someone realized how great of an idea this is.

The first thing I thought when I saw the Mists Of Pandaria Talent Panel (you can see a recap of it here) was "Wow, now they can create any spec they want for each classes". And indeed with this system Blizzard does throw the customization through talents aspect out of the window, but gains the ability to finally have classes with more than 3 specs.

For Blizzard, this is a good idea for one simple reason: they will be able to sell specs! More after the jump!

Wrath of Heroes: Update Before the First Beta Phase of 2012!

Hey everyone!

Hope you had a great start at 2012. This post is mainly to give you all an update on the character breakdown series and my future posts covering Wrath of Heroes. First off, the last few days have been hectic for me with the holidays and some other stuffs, so I haven't been able to do all the character breakdowns I planned to do. Two articles on Conrad and Tobias are close to be done, but since the next phase of Beta is starting soon (in 2 days, January 12 2012) and we have no idea what it might bring to the game I decided to wait and see. So for the moment those articles will only be released after this coming Beta IF nothing easily need coverage.

And now what I really want to do in future posts is an analysis of the video Total Biscuit made about WoH. Here is the video but be warned this is sensitive stuff, especially if you like the game:


 Through the examination of this video, I plan on giving an accurate picture of the state of the game, what are its current strengths, what might be its weaknesses, and what it might need t succeed. I have high hopes for this game, but unfortunately high hopes are not enough in real life.

So here it is, for now I will wait for whatever January 12 is bringing to the game. And then I will have the time and material to finish the planned character breakdowns and then bring you an analysis of the WTF is of Total Biscuit. As always follow me on twitter @ControlBlue if you would be interested in discussing WoH or know when the next articles will be released! Stay Classy!
