WoW:WotLK Class Dissection

Posted June 30th, 2008 by Morvelaira

Hunters get pet talent trees?

With the upcoming expansion for World of Warcraft, we are all looking ahead, wondering what the newness will bring for each of our favorite classes. I remember well how the Burning Crusade made being an end-game Shadow Priest acceptable. I wonder what class will undergo that kind of butterfly transition this time - perhaps Hunters?

Hunters
Hunter announcement were huge at the dev panel.

* Steady Shot will no longer clip autoshot -- the speaker acknowledged that Hunters hurt their own DPS by using their abilities
* Pets will get "talent trees" - one utility tree, one TANKING tree, one DPS tree
* A specific ability revealed was "cornered" - your pet does an additional 20% damage when they're at 20% health

Expect more from me on this loyal readers - This is too interesting to pass up speculation on.
