New Talent System for WoW

Today at Blizzcon Blizzard revealed a new type of talent system for World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria. In the new expansion talents will be based on a series of ability choices made every 15 levels. This will replace the current point based system. Another thing is that there is only one tree for each spec of a class. Check out http://wow.joystiq.com/2011/10/21/blizzard-reveals-new-talent-system-at-blizzcon/ for more details and pictures.

WoW Patch 4.3 Preview

Blizzard Entertainment recently unveiled a plethora of details about their upcoming content patch 4.3 which will feature the end of Deathwing. The patch will contain three new 5-man dungeons which are titled "End Time", "Well of Eternity," and "Hour of Twilight." All of these dungeons are related to the 4.3 raid which is called "The Dragon Soul"; named for the artifact which caused the corruption of Deathwing in the first place. In an interesting move by Blizzard the last two fights of the raid are Deathwing making it a multiple encounter fight.
