Since the patch hit, we’ve been flooded with requests for cookie-cutter builds for various classes, specs, and roles. We’re working on it, but our bloggers only have so many hours in the day (if only haste rating worked in real life). However, I do have a new site to tell you about that might help with these types of questions. TalentChic is a web site that aims to determine what the most popular talent builds are for all nine classes, and it’s very well made, in my opinion.
The site makes use of Armory data, so it stays relatively up-to-date. Builds are organized by class and by primary tree, and you can also filter for playstyle (Raid/PvP for instance). Playstyle is determined by what kind of gear the player was raiding when their data was cached, so it’s not foolproof (a raider could have been wearing their PvP gear and thus counted as PvP), but it’s about as good as can be done with Armory data.
As far as the information displayed goes, it seems reasonable to me. I’m a little surprised that Combat is still so dominant with Rogues, given that I’ve heard Mutilate got significantly buffed. And I’m very surprised that 0/61/0 is the most popular Holy Priest build; I haven’t seen people talk about that one very much, and I certainly wouldn’t want to be without Meditation. It does drop to only second most popular if I look at raiding Holy Priests. Are your own talent builds popular? Does TalentChic give you any ideas on how to spec?
The Russian gaming convention, IgroMir, began today in Moscow! We would be happy to welcome our Russian players to our booth on the convention floor. Representatives from Blizzard will be on hand there to answer questions, chat, and help with demonstrations from November 7-9. We look forward to seeing you!
Stay tuned for more details in the coming days!
