Blizzard has just released its official talent calculators for Mists of Pandaria, in which the talent system is getting a major overhaul. Instead of talents being point-placement decisions, this new system engages the player in one very important and specific choice every 15 levels. Skills from talents are now learned automatically as a player progresses through his chosen spec. The currently displayed talents are not set in stone and can (and will) change during Mists‘ development. If you click on a classes’ spec, you can also see their skill progression through the life of the character to see what skills you will be gaining. This new system is really, really slick.
Check out Blizzard’s official Mists of Pandaria talent calculators on the WoW community blog.
World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria is the next expansion, raising the level cap to 90, introducing a brand new talent system, and bringing forth the long-lost Pandaren race to both Horde and Alliance. Check out the trailer and follow us for all the latest MoP news!

Blizzard unveils patch 4.2 Dungeon Journal Preview
Joystiq In patch 4.2, you'll be able to use the Dungeon Journal to help conquer every dungeon and raid that was introduced with World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, including those in Firelands. We want the Dungeon Journal to include as many dungeons, bosses, … |
One of the more exciting GUI elements coming in patch 4.2 has to be the new Dungeon Journal (formerly the Encounter Journal), a tool that allows you to research basic elements about various boss fights, the bosses’ loot tables, and their abilities. Blizzard answered some questions about the feature 2 months ago, but the only way to get a real feel for the Dungeon Journal was to log on to the PTR yourself and take a look, which our own Matt Low did last month.
With patch 4.2 likely to drop next week, and with the Dungeon Journal undergoing some minor tweaks since its launch, Blizzard has decided it proper timing to give us all an official preview of this great new tool. The preview shows and explains the different aspects of the Dungeon Journal, from the sortable gear listing to boss mechanics.
The latter aspect — boss mechanics — has proved to be quite a controversial feature amongst those who worry the information contained therein will ruin bleeding-edge progression. Though it’s unlikely to quell those concerns, Blizzard once again addresses them in the preview:

After picking up the license for WoW TCG, Cryptozoic Entertainment has done a great job supporting the game and fostering its community. The only thing missing so far has been … a functional website. The old Cryptozoic site just wasn’t cutting it. Thankfully, today marks the release of the brand new WoWTCG.com, and it’s a beauty. Visitors to the site can find hobby stores in their area, tutorials on how the play TCG and what they need to play it, galleries of TCG’s fantastic artwork, and even special pages for each loot card. That’s on top of the regular previews and strategy articles. Nice job, Crypto!
