"good" old daysFollow

I just had to "borrow" this link from the mage pages.

It reflects how talents as a druid once were. Read and remember (the horror):

Balance:

Swiftshifting: reducing cooldown on being able to use abilities after shapeshifting...........like waiting 1.5 secs to be able to cast that heal....

5 talent points for the 15% crit increase on moonfire.

Speccing up to tier 7 in balance (31 points) got you to ............hurricane (can almost count the times I ever use that spell on one hand).

In feral either having to spec cat or bear as 5!!! (now only 2 to get both)points are needed to get the 100% chance on crit hit to gain either rage or energy (ten points to get both). Thick hide being a tier 4 talent and only increasing armor in bear. no heart of the wild but strengt of the wild, only giving strengt increase, no sta increase. And........the tier 7 talent being 25% reduction to mana cost for shapeshifting (now a tier 2 resto talent with 30% reduction for three points and a must for any PvPing druid).

Resto: intensity giving.....(no not 30% mana regen even when casting for 3 points) 100% chance to get 40 energy when shifting into cat.....reflection took the role of the current intensity requiring 5 points for 15% mana regen. And of course innervate being a Tier 7 resto talent, requiring 31 points, meaning anyone serious about PvE had to be full resto.

And the list goes on and on. Glad I did not know any better and was a total newbie when I started WoW and made a mage and feral druid to level back in those days....

Well enjoy reading how far we have come as a class with now three viable talent trees.....
