EU+US [LEGION] Class Spell Changes

Updated to Legion alpha build 21570.

Holy Paladin:
- Holy Bolt
+ Bestow Faith

This new talent is really interesting, and it makes the choice hard. Until now I have thought Light's Hammer is a must-have, because ferals and rogues will be clearly dominate 7.0.x. Ferals have buffed in every single alpha updates. Their damage and speed are insane. Of course, they still stun for 4 sec. If this won't be enough 29 rogues will Cheap Shot you for another 4 sec...

Lastly, Hunter (MM and BM, at least) is going to be absolutely broken. Across Aspect of the Cheetah, Posthaste baked-in disengage, Dire Beast, and Marked Shot, I see Hunter being even more dominant.

disengage is lvl 45. the only speed buff will be for survival hunters, from talent + flanking strike with certain pet and that is only 20% over 7 sec.

Foresee in many cases hunters will have nothing against 29 sub rogue with 2 melee catch ups, 100% dodge, speed & cheap shot. even if u trinket cheap shot, slow rogue to get out of melee to disengage on his 2nd blink - he just pop evasion and sprint at u and by that time you probably will be dead unless you stack on speed pots alot.


bm still got 30 focus cost on kill command. it is improvement but not that big.
mm does look strong still and probably end up being most rolled.

Kinda too early to guess what will be op or not still.

@SPQRremember, crippling poison and ambush are gone. Setting up is going to take longer: BS/Gloomblade awards only 1 combo point. I really don't think Subtlety will have enough tools to make up for their lack of survivability and uptime, which has always been the issue.

poisons can be contorted by http://www.wowhead.com/spell=7935/strong-anti-venom ofc not everyone will be using them but on the other hand not everyone would care about anti rogue mechanics as a whole.

i was speaking from prospective of countering 29.
http://legion.wowhead.com/spell=185438/shadowstrike is their opener in subtlety spec. also shuriken toss not something leave out of equation. as for lvl 20s, yea, assassination will be new orange.

if we end up with leveling people in bgs i dont see anything that will be too much over challenging.
 
If I understand, for the drood, play cat form with balance specialisation (and intel stuff) is useless in next expansion ?
 
can't say i agree with everyone saying that feral druids are going to do well in legion. they're losing wild charge, savage roar, rejuv, mangle(the bear form attack thing) and a couple other things that dont really matter, and gaining seemingly nothing. The reason ferals are so strong now is because they have a variety of different ways to fight, and in legion thats all going away

It's also that 4 second stun.

Update 21655: Cataclysm's Shield Slam has returned! Just as a reminder: Shield Block will only requires 10 rage instead 60, so it will finally be useful. These two will become strong combo. The not so good news is Brewmaster Monk's damage has been extremely increased. At least Guard doesn't exist anymore.

The stars are aligning no more guard :O
 
Updated to Legion beta build 21846. Some talents have been swapped:

Guardian Druid:
- Pulverize
+ Bristling Fur

Restoration Druid:
- Germination (passive)
+ Abundance (passive)

Marksmanship Hunter:
- Steady Focus (passive)
- True Aim (passive)
+ Careful Aim (passive)
+ Sentinel

Arcane Mage:
- Resonance (passive)
+ Words of Power (passive)

Protection Paladin:
- Consecrated Hammer (passive)
- Hand of the Protector
+ Bastion of Light
+ Crusader's Judgment (passive)

The last two talents aren't final, because they're referencing to high level spells: Shield of the Righteous & Grand Crusader. These will be redesigned or replaced again.
