New release of trees came out today. Not a lot exciting happening for feral druids, I think. I'm a little concerned about how non-blocking druids (and DKs) will stack up against warriors and paladins, but I gather that Savage Defense will start reducing a percentage of the incoming damage instead of a fixed amount (based on AP).
The action seems to be happening in the paladin trees at the moment, IMO. Paladins will get not one but two AOE heals - the second being a cone heal. (can I get a rousing chorus of 'wtf Blizzard' here?) Not sure as yet how they're going to setup the Holy Power interaction for holy paladins; the only viable option to use HPwr on right now seems to be the instant heal. It would be interesting if they made a % healing buff that could be triggered with HPwr - that's what they did for Ret, so you have to juggle your holy damage buff with a direct damage spell for HPwr dumping.
