Erst kürzlich haben die Entwickler verraten, dass die Talentbäume bei World of WarCraft: Cataclysm (ab 5,01€ bei kaufen) stark verkleinert werden sollen (wir berichteten) und auf dem Beta-Testrealm ist die erste und damit sehr frühe Version dieser neuen Talente aufgespielt worden. Mit Stufe 10 und bei jeder Neuverteilung entscheidet ihr euch zunächst für eine Talent-Spezialisierung, die automatisch eine Reihe an spezifischen Fertigkeiten für eben diese Spezialisierung verspricht. Als Krieger bekommt ihr beispielsweise den Schildschlag, wenn ihr Schutz auswählt, bei Furor gibt es Blutdurst und als Waffen-Krieger den Tödlichen Stoß plus jeweils weitere Boni (und das alles bereits ab Stufe 10). Ein Disziplin-Priester bekommt Sühne, ein Feuer-Magier den Pyroschlag und der Elementar-Schamane freut sich über das Gewitter. In der nachfolgenden Liste seht ihr nun, welche Fertigkeiten und welche passiven Boni aus den Spezialisierungen hervorgehen.

Zitat aus den Patch-Notes: "Es handelt sich hierbei um die erste Fassung der neuen Talentbäume. Die Arbeiten an Todesrittern, Druiden, Paladinen, Hexenmeistern, Arkan-Magiern und Meucheln-Schurken sind allerdings noch nicht so weit fortgeschritten wie die Arbeiten an anderen Spezialisierungen."

Es bleibt zu hoffen, dass viele der Talentbäume noch (deutlich) überarbeitet werden, denn die große Weiterentwicklung bzw. Veränderung sind sie bisher nicht. Stellenweise gibt es viel zu viele nutzlose, unzureichend aufeinander abgestimmte oder wenig interessante Fertigkeiten, die durch das verkleinerte System hätten vermieden werden sollen. Einen auf das neue System umgestellten Talentplaner in englischer Sprache findet ihr hier.
