WotLK talent/ability speculation

[Mordekhuul]

There's also a clarification of what will happen to +damage and +healing:

"Spellpower: All items and effects which grant bonuses to spell damage and spell healing are being consolidated into a single stat, Spellpower. This stat will appear with the same values found on items which grant “increased spell damage and healing” such as on typical Mage and Warlock itemization. For classes which do not heal, they should see no change in the character sheet other than new tooltip wording. Healing characters will see their bonus healing numbers on the character sheet decrease, however, all healing spells have been modified to receive more benefit from spellpower than they received from bonus healing, with a net effect of no change to the amount healed by their spells. Some talents have had to be rebalanced to accommodate this change, but the amount healed will remain roughly the same. In addition, some talents will provide only healing spell power."

Very interesting, IMO. Much better than what Kalgan said a few days ago.

Yeah, I appreciated that clarification as well. It all seemed clear from the alpha leaks regarding no more +heal on gear, just +dmg, and changed coefficients, and then kalgan opened his mouth and made it all sound confusing again =)
