Well, that's some good news! Thank your for your informative blog. Wait till I check the site and see what really is so fantastic about it.
 

did anyone else notice under holy spec for paladins that consecration isn't there. yet in the spells, they clearly say that a new consecration for holy spec will be available.
 

Consecration will become a base ability, its talent spot gets replaced by the aura thingie, just cause holy isn't overpowered enough. It now took 2 years to move a mediocre talent, from one tree's 4th tier, to another one's 3rd and finally set it as a base skill. That´s how thought out this class design is.

So far im really impressed, they streamlined a lot. Especially the hybrids get the needed buffs and paladins finally get a second viable talent tree - protection. There is hope that when the 2nd expansion hits, even the 3rd - retribution - gets its value added. Horde paladins will be so awesome, it's not even funny anymore. BE paladins clearly will be PvP gods. I'm waiting for the druid stuff though, they're under much pressure, now that the shaman and paladin buffs are visible. The warrior stuff is just as expected. Thank god, protection will be needed at last.

The new 41 retribution talent for paladins is awesome, cause any future raid will want a full ret-noob paladin. Right now they´re hated and useless, than they will be wanted, that's really funny. I still envy shaman though, their enhancement tree looks badass.

What doesn't make sense is to separate hybrid faction skills for paladins (SoBlood/SoVengeance), but giving equal spells to shaman (bloodlust/heroism).

It´s a good alpha stage so far, but clearly we will see shuffling around talents for the next month to come. I still believe this thing will not see its release in 2006 yet.
 

Woot for the Warlock spells & talents! Bow to your new lords and masters! < grin >
 

Great mage spells, as well.
