Have messed some more with talent-builder:

The idea was:

• To keep current builds
• To make every point feel important
• To add support for niche builds, specifically "smite priest", "twilight priest that alternates between shadow and holy", and "wand-master"
• Wand attacks from discipline tree can be used as a damage build-up phase before using smite and holy fire; and wand damage is useful for Mind Flay too via Shadow Conduit talent. Also Empowering Wand is useful when playing with a mage or destro party member.
• Twilight priest archetype is mostly supported via "Light in Darkness" and "Darkness in the Light" talents that provide alternating damage buffs
• Smite can be useful in raids due to debuffs that it applies
• Holy Fire can now benefit from fire damage bonuses (if Holy Pyre talent is taken)

Question: would you like to see Shadow Word: Death as a talent in last row of Shadow tree?)

Been inspired by others posting their variants made using talent-builder, and made my own version: https://www.talent-builder.dev/calculator?t0=3uk-VyYwmm&t1=KLMr7iiOAA&t2=Ew8ThqFjFw&class=256

I've tried to:

• make every point feel important
• consolidate some talents that can't affect the player at the same time, like imp/succy, void/felguard
• make spellstone and firestone worthy of equiping in offhand and switching between them
• make pyroclasm great again :)
• keep a large variaty of builds for PvP: SL-SL, Affli-with-weaker-SL, Affli-with-Shadowburn, SM-Ruin, Demo-with-felguard, SL-Backlash hedgehog, Destro-with-weaker-SL, pure Destro.
• keep a large variaty of build directions for PvE: pure affli, SM-Ruin, DemoPact, petless fire, petless shadow, shadow with succy, destro with imp, and two gimmick offtank builds

Are upcoming Dawnrise and Darkmoon realms mostly for PvE?

Who played on Elune and Area52, how was the pvp there? From balance point of view, and also bg/arena queue times?

Judging by build calculator: https://ascension.gg/en/v2/builder/elune

it looks that it is possible to amass quite an array of damage reductions, coupled with healing talents, some healers and tanks might be straight up unkillable. Or it is not the case?
