Well, I’ve had a while to ruminate on the upcoming Cataclysm expansion for World of Warcraft now, and I have to say, I’m quite happy about it. Ignoring the amount of work that it’s going to take me to update Paladin Leveling Guide with all of the leveling changes that they are making, the whole thing sounds like a lot of fun.
A few general points:
- Very happy about the level cap only being raised by 5 levels. I thought this was the path that WOTLK should have taken, but better late than never.
- I may actually willingly spend some time in Desolace now that the landscape won’t make me nauseous. For the sake of Paladins everywhere, I hope they keep all of the demons around though.
- I see a Worgen druid alt in my future.
- Also, a Goblin warlock.
- Hopefully the new PVP stuff is better than Isle of Conquest.
- Path of Titans – We’ve been needing an AA system for ages, so this is a good thing.
- I am way more excited than I should be for flying in Azeroth.
As far as Paladin changes go, I’m hoping for a much more dynamic and flexible Holy tree, a more… active… Protection tree, and, well, as for Ret, maybe they could make it more smashy? Not sure really, I think Retribution is fine as is. They’ve said they’re going to focus more on active abilities and less on passive stat / damage boosts, so I’m not sure how they’re going to work that out with Ret, given that a large percentage of the tree is dedicated to just making our melee stronger.
In any case, I’m incredibly stoked for the expansion, and I will make sure to let you guys know about anything cool that comes up.
