From Druid forums:

Take all this with a grain of salt.

This is leaked and not confirmed in anyway, so take it for what it's worth. Will be a good read at least

General info:

Fact: Blood elf starting area is damn cool.
Total spell damage bonus is now displayed in the UI.
Frenzied Regeneration now scales with stamina. For Rank 3, each point of rage is now converted to 17 health plus some percentage of your stamina (looks like 1%).
Moonfury's tooltip now reads increases damage to all Balance damage spells, which means it probably is now applied after bonus spell damage effects.
Travel Form model has been changed to a stag.
No word about Stormcrow Form, but I wouldn't rule it out as a level 70 flying mount.


Balance Talents

Tier 5
Gusting Winds: Increases the damage done by your Cyclone and Hurricane spells by 10/20/30%.

Tier 6
Dreamstate: Gives you a 33/66/100% chance to gain the Focused Casting effect that lasts for 6 sec after being the victim of a melee or ranged critical strike. The Focused Casting effect prevents you from losing casting time when taking damage.

Tier 7
Improved Moonkin Form: Requires 1 point in Moonkin Form. Increases all spell damage caused by 1/2/3% and reduces the base mana cost of Moonkin Form by 5/10/15%. Note: This means Moonkin now costs as much as Travel and Aquatic Forms.
Strength of the Moon: Increases spell damage by up to 5/10/15/20/25% of your total intellect.

Tier 8
Empowered Starfire: Your Starfire spell gains an additional 2/4/6/8/10% of your bonus spell damage effects.

Tier 9
Force of Nature (Rank 1): The force of nature radiates from the Druid, silencing enemies within 10 yards for 2 sec. and causing 192-212 Nature damage. Note: 2 minute cooldown.


Feral Combat Talents

Tier 5
Feral Recovery: All healing effects on you are increased by 10/20%. In addition, the act of shapeshifting has a 25/50% chance to remove one harmful effect.

Tier 6
Primal Instinct: Increases your chance to resist stun, charm, and trap effects by 3/6/9/12/15%.

Tier 7
Animal Reflexes: Increases your agility by 2/4/6/8/10% while in Cat, Bear, and Dire Bear forms.
Predatory Will: Reduces the cooldown of Growl and increases the duration of Tigers Fury by 1/2 sec.

Tier 8
Heightened Senses: Increases your attack power by up to 10/20/30/40/50% of your intellect.

Tier 9
Scent of the Pack: Reduces damage taken in Bear Form and Dire Bear Form by 0.4%, and increases damage done in Cat Form by 0.6% for every party or raid member within 45 yards with Mark of the Wild or Gift of the Wild active.


Restoration

Tier 6
Natural Resilience: Increases your mana regeneration while in all forms by 10/20/30%.

Tier 7
Healing Mastery: Increases the critical effect chance of your healing spells by 1/2/3/4/5%.
Improved Innervate: Reduces the cooldown of Innervate by 20/40/60 sec.

Tier 8
Nature's Reprieve: Gives you a 20/40/60/80/100% chance to gain Mana equal to the base cost of your spell after healing a wounded target with Healing Touch, Regrowth, or Swiftmend.

Tier 9
Harmonize: Distributes damage taken by party members within 30 yards between the party while in effect. Note: Its a self cast buff that lasts up to 30 seconds.

New Base Spells

Cyclone (Balance): Throws your target into the air, disorienting the target and causing Nature damage over 3 seconds but making the target immune to other damage during that time.
Mangle (Cat Form): Stuns the enemy and deals damage per combo point.
Feral Strike (Bear Form): An attack that deals damage and converts each extra point of rage into damage and causes a high amount of threat.
Enervate (Restoration): Drains mana, energy, or rage every second for 20 seconds.
Control Beast (Balance): Controls a beast up to level 77 but increases the time between attacks by 25%. Lasts up to 1 min.

 

[Anshrr]

Due to Stag travel form, Mangle, and Control Beast, I deem these made up. :<

Also, the "gain ap from party/raidmember with MotW" seems a bit advanced. The AP from Int thing is a good idea though.

Also

Actually with TBC it looks like they're doing a mini warlock talent review, moreso than the other Blood Elf classes. Changing a lot (most?) of our shitty talents to be more useful. Imp Drain Life changed to 2 talents and had Imp Drain mana thrown in for free, Imp CoA buffed to 2x 5% per rank, Imp CoEx removed and changed to 30% for 1 talent, Intensity effects all destruction spells, Fel Stamina and Int changed to 3 talents, couple of -% agro attached to other talents etc etc. Some decent changes.

Imp CoWeakness still sucks but I dont think many of us were hoping for much there.

Try this

All of this is 3rd hand of course so it could be a total fake, make of it what you will.

Spiritual Attunement (66): Gives the Paladin mana when healed by other friendly targets. The amount of mana gained is equal to 10% of the amount healed.

Blessing of Spell Warding (6Cool: A targeted party member is protected from all magical attacks for 10 sec, but during that time they are Silenced. Players may only have one Blessing on them per Paladin at any one time. Once protected, the target cannot be made invulnerable by Divine Shield, Divine Protection, Blessing of Spell Warding, or Blessing of Protection again for 1 min.

Crusader Aura (64): Increases the mounted speed by 20% for all party members within 40 yards. Players may only have one Aura on them per Paladin at any one time.

Seal of Blood (64): All melee attacks deal additional Holy damage equal to 30% of normal weapon damage, but the Paladin loses health equal to 10% of the total damage inflicted. Unleashing this Seal's energy will judge an enemy, instantly causing 409 to 451 Holy damage at the cost of 136 to 151 health.

Very nice Oo will be nice to look out for items that dont just have +healing on them now

If they are true some nice things mentioned but then some seem abit pointless to

Anyway thanks for posting that gave me somthing to read for 5mins <3 back to watching films at work now then 8)

 

[Anshrr]

Sooo..... warlocks do damage with fear and dots, and people where dispelling dots, so blizzard goes ahead and gives locks a dot that hurts MORE if dispelled? What's the point of the dispell spells then?
And in how many PvE encounters will a mob dispell a dot? Obvious PvP buff, to a class that already pwns in pvp :<

Rogue talents look awesome.

 

[Mark]

Holy Guidance, requires 35, 5 point talent
Your damage/healing is increased by 7(35)% of your Int.

<3 My Int/Spellcrit Build, i hit about 490 int on one emps try, with all those buffs

(Edit: Did the MAth +171.5 Heal WTB [New Trousers])

 

[Anshrr]

The talents for Warriors are over at Curse....
In a nutshell, invisibility, 1h wielding of 2handers, and other sick buffs.

 

[Joy]

Ammaghaaaaaaad

 

[kak]

1h a 2h, eh does that mean they will be able to DW 2h . tbh im still waiting in anticipation to see what the hunter changes are gonna be. if the other classes are anything to go by, then i expect some insane stuff.

 

[Anshrr]

It should mean they can dw 2handers (much like barbarians in D2 ^^), with 20% less damage. A 2hander - 20% is probably still more than a 1hander, before considering that 2handers have "twice" the stats, logically.

Can't really remember the numbers, but IF you can get the last arms talent, and Flurry, imagine a warrior with 2xAsscandies :< Or the equivalent from Naxx....
Sick stuff.... but then, less competition for sword rogues I guess ^^

 

[Guest]

Hunters get 2 pets!!1!!

<3 Emu and Conor

PS. Eskhandar is rather aggresive
