It’s time again for Arcane Brilliance<\/a>, the weekly mage<\/a> column that would like you to know that yes, that is a screenshot from the <\/em>Cataclysm beta, and yes that’s a lowbie goblin mage. Also, the goblin on the right is Fizz Lighter, the goblin mage trainer. He’s eternally flinging Fireballs at the goblin on the left, Evol Fingers, the goblin warlock trainer. The dirty lock is returning fire with an endless string of Shadowbolts. Even in screenshots, it’s truly the most epic thing ever. I can’t wait to see it live. And to assist Fizz with my own barrage of Fireballs. Stinking warlocks.<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s incredibly difficult for me to write about the beta <\/a>for two reasons:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I’m not in the beta.<\/li>\n
  2. Anything I write about today is very well going to be completely different tomorrow. Or gone entirely.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So you can see my problem. I have been playing with the new 31-point talent trees almost non-stop since they were revealed. Like the crazed wizard I am, I have cobbled together approximately a billion different specs, molding them into vaguely humanoid shape and granting them life, then sending them forth to do my bidding. I call them “talent golems.” I do this because I am a nerd.<\/p>\n

    Unfortunately, the next beta build will, in all likelihood, blow all of my precious creations up completely. This means that writing any sort of in-depth analysis at this point amounts to a bit of a mental merry-go-round. It’s fun while it lasts, but you always end up back where you started.<\/p>\n

    So instead of wasting your time with a long diatribe on things which may or may not ever see the light of the live realms, I choose to waste it in a different way.<\/p>\n
