На сайте MMO-Champion опубликованы изменения в дереве талантов таких классов, как Друид, Разбойник, Жрец и Шаман. Это официальные данные из дополнения Cataclysm, которые разработчики предлагают обсудить. Как мы видим, многое в этих классах будет значительно изменено, но не настолько, чтобы учиться играть ими заново. Разработчики говорят о том, что это все еще альфа-версия изменений и, скорее всего, к релизу Cataclysm многое успеет измениться с учетом пожеланий игроков.
