Like just remove demo from the game at this point, the devs messed all over it with their obsession to make the spec immobile anyway.

Comment by Matrixwolf

They never learn, all these “hero talents” are supposed to be about the cosmetic visuals jeez focus tht not meters make them all looks visually impressive the main focus should be that and while their at it add an xmog for each of the hero spec things 3 per class lets go

Comment by Degno

Shadow of death is tied to casting hand of gul'dan, not demonbolt.

Spirited away is a nerf to your mobility currently, unless they change it (I expect they will), you should not take it.

I'd pick Friends in dark places, not gorebound fortitude as demo, because you generate shards so easily, you always have one on hand and it's unnoticeable when you spend one for utility.

No they shouldn't. Adding new gameplay stuff should always be the focus, if they want to add new cosmetic glyphs on top of that that's fine but that has nothing to do with class devs.

Comment by Perrycox

I feel like Not missed the fact that Spirited Away gives Burning Rush a cooldown and so taking it in many cases hurts your mobility. I'll take the Fel Dom CD every time.

Not that I'm likely going to play Soul Harvester, but still

Comment by barbasol

Is Succulent Soul just a buff that appears, or does it actually make one of your Soul Shards in the UI appear extra glow/sparkly? that would be really cool, imo.

I'm really hoping Soul Harvester fits my playstyle as the temporary demons of diabolist somehow turn me off. I do like passive and aoe, so fingers crossed. (Impossible for me to really tell just by reading about them.)

Yes keep adding more and more spells on top of an already immense talent tree, this certainly won't cause balancing issues, spell bloat or turn certain specs into an even bigger incomplete mess. They literally said that hero tree are supposed to enhance the flair of the class during war witthin announcement

And that's what they are doing, no class is getting more than 1 spell which is how it was in all the older expansions. Yes eventually we will get to the bloat and homogenization issues like we did in MoP and then they will prune us and they might go back to borrowed power but we are not at that point yet.
