We’re working on a couple of corrections to what was posted:

• Shred should be in the baseline abilities list.
• Adaptive Swarm in row 10 of the Restoration tree should be a square.

 

Druid Talents and Abilities

The Dragonflight talent update is a great opportunity to let the Druid explore the flexibility inherent to the class. In many ways, the Affinity concept from Legion through Shadowlands was anticipating something that we’re hoping to re-emphasize here: the ability to choose elements of various shapeshift forms and roles. That idea is now expanded into a class talent tree that has paths relating to every specialization, where deeper investment obtains more of that spec’s fundamental buttons. Various utility and crowd control are placed in optional locations off of every branch, as well as in a central area that is easy for every specialization to access. Our hope is that every spec can play in a somewhat traditional manner where it fills out the complete path laid out for it in the core tree and then picks up a choice of miscellaneous utility, or a more customized manner where it reaches deeper into the other specs’ paths.

Certainly not a fan of baseline Skull Bash.

The other two specs that have two kicks are at least tanks, why add Boomkin to them?

Also, no baseline Boomkin form for Balance, seriously?

It's not baseline? it's a talent, granted a class talent so boomkins could have 2, but it's still a talent.

Pretty much what I meant.

"Avaliable baseline" would probably sound better.

Fair enough, still unsure why you'd be unhappy with this. It means resto druids get an interrupt, and boomkins can choose between a melee ish one, ranged, or both. 

Overall I'm not in awe of the system, there's a lot of current stuff being taken away so we can choose what we get back. Which is exactly what I expected, so I shall wait to see how it actually plays, some stuff we won't miss.

Just think of the infamous Solar Beam+Root/Ursol/Massroot combo. Now add having a 2nd interrupt to worry about once you're out of it. On a rather bursty DPS spec, since Convoke stays. Ouch.

Also, I think it starts chipping away at identity with healers. Shamans are the only ones so far who have it, and it's kinda their thing - their utility bag is massive, even if their healing in 5-man, where utility matters most, is not as impressive.

Considering Monks and Paladins have an excuse to get an interrupt because well, they are in melee already, it's basically shafting Priests. Unless you want to hand them over Silence, which is rather puny as an interrupt as is, and returns us to "blanket silence" problem.

Honestly so what?  The games gameplay was at its absolute best in MoP when there was the most overlap in history anyway.  The game being fun matters far far far more than these fake delusional concepts of 'class identity' which are really just some neurotic goalposts people keep moving around just to have something to be negative about.

Are you also among those who praise Skyrim as "BEST RPG EVER", despite it objectively not understanding what "R" letter stands for? Because that's very close to what you're saying here. 

An RPG game is supposed to have class identity at its core. It is supposed to provide different experiences depending on what you're playing. It is supposed to restrict you from having it all at the same time, to have tradeoffs, or why have such system at all? What you call 'neurotic goalposts' is the core concept of the genre. Need I remind you that Legion, which excatly made major effort in establishing class idenity, both in terms of abilities and content, is hailed to be one of, if not THE best expansion, depending on who you ask?

Also, definition of 'fun' heavily varies from person to person, so dragging it here is pointless.

I can understand what people mean when they say, that people are very, different.

Idk what you are on, but I feel like I'm playing a very different class when changing characters. So there's that.

Maybe you should read the entire conversation, not pluck away at words without context, then reply and not look stupid? 
Usually that works.

Did, and still stand by my words. But now I understand why you said what you said 😉
