As for the warrior stuff it looks really cool. I started to make a badass spec to see that tactical mastery wasn't in the arms tree anymore ( i assumed they made it trainable since everyone cries on the warrior forums daily to make it trainable) Very Happy
To my disgust they moved tactical mastery to the protection tree. Essentially making it cost an additional 5 points than it used to cost.
We ask for free, they double the cost.
Yes i know, "It has allowed all Protection Specc'd Warriors to put only 5 points into the Arms tree and the rest into Protection!"
Yea it benefits protection warriors a lot, but at the cost of hurting DPS/PVP warriors. But they should make it benefit all warrior by making it trainable, like warriors asked. I'm sure that anyone who has ever played a warrior to level 60 will agree tactical mastery is required to play the warrior class successfully in pvp.
Many classes have a classic 31 main tree / 20 off tree build currently. In the expansion all classes that have builds like this will be able to invest 10 points more into their main tree. Except for mortal strike warriors. Follow with me...
Building off the classic cookie cutter spec for mortal strike currently of:
31 arms / 20 fury / 0 protection
The expansion was having MS warriors anticipating a build of:
41 arms / 20 fury / 0 protection
But instead are now forced to go:
41 arms / 15 fury / 5 protection
A direct loss of 5 points in the off tree.
For instance Mortal strike warriors that pvp will no longer be able to obtain enrage as 5 points in an exclusive tree, protection is mandatory to play their class. Essentially classes that have the classic 31 main tree / 20 off tree build currently will be obtaining 10 points to spend in their main tree, without any penalty in their off tree. Where as mortal strike warriors will have a 5 point penalty in their off tree.
