Check out our Warlords of Draenor Talent Calculator!

Death Knight

The level 100 talent Breath of Sindragosa received some modifications. It now reads: Continuously deals 2000 Shadowfrost damage every 1 sec to enemies in a cone in front of you within 12 yards, and affect them with Mark of Sindragosa for 6 sec. You will continue breathing until canceled or Runic Power is exhausted. Mark of Sindragosa causes you to be healed for 5% of spell damage dealt by afflicted enemies.

Rogue

The level 75 talent has been replaced by Internal Bleeding -- Your successful Kidney Shots now also cause Internal Bleeding on the target, dealing 1026 Damage per combo point over 12 seconds.

The level 45 talent Leeching Poison has a few tweaks--it poisons the target for 12 seconds, up from 10, heals the player for 15% of damage dealt (up from 10%), and the Shiv effect restores 4% of the Rogue's health, down from 5%.

The level 100 talent Master the Basics has been replaced with Venom Zest. The player did not mouseover the tooltip in this video, but Celestalon tweeted that it was "Increases your maximum energy by 15. Increases your energy regeneration rate by 5% for every enemy you have poisoned, up to 3."

Warlock

The level 100 talent Chaotic Resources received changes to Demonology and Destruction.
Demonbolt (Demonology): Consumes 30% of your current Demonic Fury to deal up to 3000 damage, and refund up to 300 Demonic Fury the next time you have less than 50 Demonic Fury.

Charred Remains (Destruction): Incinerate and Conflagrate deal 60% less damage but generate 300% more Burning Embers. Fire and Brimstone can now also affect Chaos Bolt.

Warrior

The level 100 talent Blade Barrier is replaced with Anger Management -- Every 15 rage that you spend reduces the remaining cooldown of your Readiness-affected abilities by 1 sec.

Arms and Fury Warriors get Ignite Fury as a new level 100 talent, replacing Masochism from Extreme Measures -- Ignites your weapon and deal 100% weapon damage (140% if a one-handed weapon is equipped) as Fire, and cause your auto attacks to deal Fire damage for 10 sec. This ability is not on the global cooldown. Replaces Heroic Strike.

Tooltips now only show spec-specific details, so while Gladiator Stance wasn't visible in the video as a level 100 talent, that's because it will only show up for Protection warriors (source).

The level 60 talent Bladestorm is now a level 90 talent.

The level 90 talent Storm Bolt is now a level 60 talent.

Do we become raid bosses in WoD?

Logically, though, it's likely to cost more than one burning ember to pull that one.Comment by AdoxeHaha it's fine, we all make mistakes!Comment by EviloverlordFire and Brimstone with Chaos Bolt?

I'm lost in the sauce.Comment by TheedSo when is wowheads news / interviews / screenshots update coming? :)Comment by perculiaSeveral Siege of Orgrimmar trinkets have unique procs, which are becoming actual new stats in Warlords of Draenor. Readiness can be already found on trinkets like Vial of Living Corruption, it reduces the cooldown recovery rate on pre-determined abilities. In Warlords, Readiness will be a new secondary stat, along with Amplify (increases your crit damage multiplier, multistrike damage multiplier, and secondary stats by a percentage) and Multistrike (gives separate chances to hit each target an additional time for 30% damage).

@Theed These round of press events seems to be for more general press that didn't attend BlizzCon and were getting up to speed on existing Warlords changes--to the best of my knowledge, no US fansites were included in this round. The past press events I've attended have had an NDA component and we couldn't do things like take screenshots or videos of the game. Definitely looking forward to when I can spend some more time playing WoD and fixing new data though :)Comment by TheedCan someone explain what "Readiness-affected" abilities mean?

We can make a true Warcraftish Dwarf Mountain Warrior with both Avatar and StormboltComment by BaracudaWow, those Warrior talents actually sound fun!Comment by 203733Seriously? You put Bladestorm and Bloodbath on the same tier? Blizz stop screwing with stuff that doesn't need changing....Comment by 1189921Same tier of shockwave and stormbolt ? %^&* you blizzard! Our damage may better be buffed in wodComment by 1148024Thought they were nerfing locks lol, this is ridiculous.

Warlocks need to be nerfed TO THE GROUNDComment by gamerx219Kinda sad there wasn't anything changed about the Level 100 Talents for Priest. Last I checked, they all sounded a bit lacking.Comment by Oclq Warrior Comment by TheedKinda sad there wasn't anything changed about the Level 100 Talents for Priest. Last I checked, they all sounded a bit lacking.Comment by DKong27New talents are interesting but you have to remember how far away we are from being anywhere close to finalized. They were changing MoP talents basically up until release. As for the tuning, it's hard to compare with the impending squish.Comment by 813755Kinda sad there wasn't anything changed about the Level 100 Talents for Priest. Last I checked, they all sounded a bit lacking.
