WOWInsider has the skinny on what’s coming for each of the World of Warcraft classes as Wrath of the Lich King approaches during a developer panel.
Some of the highlights include what the new Death Knight class will have, talent trees for Hunter pets, and Shaman totems getting a boost during raids.
A sampling:
Priests
- Divine Hymn - Allows priest to cast a hymn (holy tree) that heals party members. If an opponent strikes a party member, they go into a trance. It gives a deep holy priest not only a healing mechanic, but a pretty interestnig emergency ability to use for control
- Dispersion - Reduce damage 90% regen 6% health/mana per second. 51 point shadow, a way to turtle against incoming attacks and regen. Can move but not cast spells
- Guardian Spirit - Talent that prevents party member death. Castable cheat death pet. Follows a party member, if party member takes a killing blow, the spirit dies instead. All three are specifically designed to address core priest issues, or solidify their overall role.
WOWInsider also has an analysis of each class tweaking as well.
