Quote:1) Blizzard needs to figure out what it wants each tree to do, because it's still a mess. Talent placement looks, frankly, like it was assigned at random. Good raiding talents are sprinkled across the trees - Ruthless Strikes/Relentlessness at the top of assassination, Weapon Expertise and Deadliness as 25 point talents in their respective trees. PvP talents located at the 31 point slot in two different trees. There's no thematic unity in any of them.
I don't play rogues enough (well, at all) to comment on the trees as released, but it seems like they TRY not to have "one raid tree, one PvP tree, one <blank> tree".
That said they often fail. And thematic unity, while giving something for all play styles (raid, pvp, small group) in all trees is what would be ideal. Priests have it, shaman don't. Druids almost do, just some of the underlying mechanics are a bit off, not the talents. Hunter's are probably a scaling pet damage talent away from doing it. Dunno about the rest.
