Comment by sjaakwowClaw of Endereth must be one of the most disappointing capstone talents surely :/ Hope they change it.Comment by AtnoshWhy won't they remove the redundant paths, god my OCD guyssssssComment by walrockAff Tree got better for sure.
Dimensional Rift is not really capstone worthy for Destro without the Legion legendary effect (dmg buff).
Demo changes seem to be good aswell.

General tree changes are a big step backwards.
There may have been too much power in the general tree but now the 20+ points section seems to be so bad that you dont even want to spend many points there.Comment by NawelRThey should move wilfred on demonology to another place, its killed from the beginning if it shared node with the new "decon" (Tyranny). No one will pick wilfred while we have a better option like tyranny. So F wilfred.Comment by Xernathbring back DIMENSIONAL RIFTS and Decimating Bolt to class tree beg you, why would you remove ones of most fun spells from game...Comment by DotfeverI have points I don't even want to spend in general treeComment by iettloppthey %^&*ed soul link so hard its sad, they said they are splitting it into 2 talents, but its pretty much three different onesComment by Devil64So they already nerfed down a bit of the (Fire Lock) heh. I liked my Soul Fire build in Shadowlands and the upcoming DF.Comment by XmenttorWilfred's Sigil should never be a spec talent.. it should be global talent.

if that not the case well then it should not be with Demonic Tyranny /Rain of Chaos.Comment by Mevraz"Druids deserve better!"

Anyway...........Comment by EastBWow warlocks get their interrupt in the top row while druids have to spend 7 points on the feral/guardian side to get theirs.Comment by JumimaruAff Tree got better for sure.
