some of the template specs are just wrong. i understand that template was made to show general gear you should use and key talents, and players should match up their own specs and gear depending on the playing style they have and the goal ingame BUT balance druid is just so wrong.

i will try to test all the specs, i've seen some before and they are really good.


edit: i checked what i can play and they look ok

We constantly revise them based on player feedback, so feel free to suggest improvements.

For the frost mage, the spec is ace, and the gear setup is decent. With the new stuff, you can however tweak the gear.

Any problems with the shaman one(s), Cube?
I may not be staff any longer, but I would still alter the source code(s) if it's fundamentally wrong.
I tried to get it spot on, but for s2 it's kinda tough to get decent results. I'm really starting to wish s3 was the starter gear, that would have made this a bit easier... Especially for classes like hunter, which REALLY suck in s2.

Don't know. Just looked over it real quick, and it does seem rather rubbish. Better than the last one though.

Looks like quite a lot of them have been improved and start to make sense though, so that's cool. There are still some that are rather stupid in a lot of ways. But I guess they'll be fixed sooner or later.

Which spec(s), Cube? I'll talk with Henry and see what I can do about it. thanks for the feedback :)

hopefully he won't let you touch anything

GM Grael pretty much manages all the templates now. I believe he already made modifications to some of the Shaman ones based on the new gear introduced into the mall. He's mainly in charge of templates now since he has made the majority of them.

For warrior, the spec is fine.

The itemization however is pretty bad because the s2 belt is far better than Chain of Unleashed Rage and also there are better weps than s2 at the vendors like Jin'rokh / Twinblade of the Phoenix as sword and Stormherald as mace. (There is no better axe as starter, than s2 though)

The specs and gear used is there to show a guidance for new players, and are not min-maxed. Please do keep that in mind.
