Comment by pooyammStill Nothing for Demon Hunter? Just one datamined spell? Thank u blizz. Don't forget usComment by mcfryPog: +1 Charge to Arcane Orb, Tempered Flames

Lame: Tomes (minor stat sticks), Temporal Velocity (10%? seriously? I get more from gems)Comment by AgentkillerleeI believe there was also a change to Shatter making it not just frost spells anymore.

This makes me hopeful that Shatter may become baseline again. It's been a long time since it was and I really miss the skill that it added for a fire mage using it in pvp. High risk high reward. Use it offensively for more damage? Or save it for a defensive moment. I love spells that cause versatility in other spells.

Fire mage just needs deep freeze back as well.Comment by SaphrasOh great Arcane Harmony, and Radiant spark.... I wanna cry .-.Comment by sedikoHope the new UI makes buffs a bit more visually customizable, so many spells that require you to look at that cluttered buffs list, it feels like WA should just be default UI by now.Comment by SvartunnVery happy to see arcane keeping so much of what made it fun in SL. The new stuff looks great too. +1 charge to arcane orb is great!Comment by Luck4Please remove Radiant Spark/Harmonic Echo, it's awful to use and makes rotations too convoluted.Comment by CorsephStill Nothing for Demon Hunter? Just one datamined spell? Thank u blizz. Don't forget usComment by KerathrasI am sincerely hoping that this is an error in the datamining but I very much doubt it. Retaining the Kyrian Harmony build for Arcane is a huge mistake. While there are players who clearly enjoy it they are FAR fewer than the droves that quit SL because they hated it. They’re making the mistake of listening to that vocal minority who is still playing the crap shoot that is SL and that will only result in fewer returning players in Dragonflight.

I am sorry to say that the players who genuinely think Kyrian Harmony is the high point of Arcane, while entitled to their opinion, either didn’t play in Legion or have a very warped idea of what “fun” is.Comment by CuddlebunzI hope they design Arcane's talent tree in a way that lets us create a solid build without having to take Radiant Spark.

+1 Charges to arcane orb sounds great and I'm looking forward to trying out Arcane Surge.Comment by LordDesI am sincerely hoping that this is an error in the datamining but I very much doubt it.

If I had to describe Kyrian Harmony in a word it would be clunky. And don’t even get me started on Siphon Storm. At this point it’s gone beyond being meme-worthy and into the realm of having to conduct an intervention with whichever dev is still trying to make it work, like what’s the thinking there, truly fascinating in the worst way possible, lol.Comment by RasengamTempered Flames Pyroblast has a 30% reduced cast time and a 15% increased critical strike chance. The duration of Combustion is reduced by 50%.
Is this a typo or this talent really nerf fire?Comment by FlyingToaster90% of those changes marked "new" have been in the game forever lolComment by TuckletutsThis makes me sad. The fact that Frost, which has been in desperate need of significant changes for some time appears to get little does not bode well. Frost needs a lot of updates to its talents as well as mechanical gameplay, but these updates don't make it look like much.

Arcane as well has a lot of 'oof' changes happening and seem more like Blizz is looking at data in a vacuum. They see that a high percentage of Arcane take covenant X and legendary Y and think it's because it's fun or engaging play when in reality it's more because they messed up and made the clunkier, less fun gameplay styles have bigger numbers. I don't doubt there are players who enjoy the Kyrian build, but based on discussions on other forums the past 2 expansions has been pretty gross for Arcane to play.

Hopefully these are just incomplete/incorrect data-mined changes for SL rather than what is coming in DF.Comment by PsychsxTHEY KEEP ADDING MECHANICS THAT

FROST MAGES NEED TO PLAY ON MELEE RANGE OF ADDS

SUCH AWFUL STUFFComment by FalluxReally glad to see the Kyrian build being carried over. Very easy and relaxing playstyle, unless you find counting to 4 and reading 18 hard.Comment by AbsiI am sincerely hoping that this is an error in the datamining but I very much doubt it.
