In 4 days we have all of our talents points reset, along with some other nifty changes. I wasn’t able to get on the PTR to see this stuff first-hand, but I’ve heard good things from other players who were on the PTR. My main concern is how I should spec for the final weeks of arena prior to Wrath of the Lich King. I’m really considering going… Survival… *gasp*!
The talents in that tree seem to offer much more for the PvPer. I really like the stamina/AP synergy, and the mana regen is insane. However, it really all depends on how pet survivability is in arena. From what I’ve read it’s not that hot. If Blizzard boosts pet survivability, then I may continue as BM. My arena teams rely on burst, and Beast Mastery fits that bill pretty well. A lot of those skills look good on paper too, but I suppose it really just comes down to trial and error.
I’ll post some possible talent builds here shortly.
Survival looks really good for PvP, but depending on pet survivability, I’m considering a 50/0/11 build for PvP. 5/5 Kindred Spirits seems nice. Either way, I’m sure I’ll be doing some experimenting come Tuesday.
Gar, Survival is getting Scatter Shot, so it probably is the talent spec of choice for pvp now.
