Mygameg.com - Two specs are better than one
(Best Wow Gold Seller) - In Wrath, Blizzard doubled-down on talent trees. Wrath expanded the trees even further, with another ten points and another layer of talents added at the bottom of each tree.
However, Wrath also introduced Dual Specialization in patch 3.1. The dual spec ability was one of cheap wow gold in stock. Suddenly, you could switch from an elemental shaman to a resto shaman on the fly, instead of hearthing to town, resetting your points, respending your points, setting up your bars with the different spells, etc. Players could have separate specs for PvE and PvP. Raiders could set up one talent configuration for single target DPS and one for cleaving down adds.
Blizzard also added the Equipment Manager, which allowed you to save your different sets of armor and weapons for each spec or role. Most players already had an addon for this, but the official one was a great substitute.
Overall, players had far less incentive to use hybrid builds in Wrath. They could change their role to what the raid or the arena team needed with the click of a button. Some players stuck to their hybrid ways, but such builds became more and more fringe.
Meanwhile, the trees had become enormous: 71 points distributed over 11 tiers per tree. Classes had more than 80 different talents to choose from -- almost double the talent choices of classic WoW. Here's what they looked like back then:

Guy4game.co The golden age of hybrids
Talent possibilities exploded during The Burning Crusade. Ten more levels granted players ten more points to assign. Players could now combine abilities in ways that vanilla's trees had never allowed, opening up exciting new gameplay paths. Buy cheap wow gold & items from guy4game.co.
Players didn't choose a specialization like they do today. Instead, they assigned points to three different "trees." Each tree represented a spec, but each also had talents that helped the other two specs as well. So players could pick and choose just how far down they wanted to go in a given tree, and thus how much to commit their character to one spec. "Hybrid" builds were not ideal from a min/max perspective, but they were popular. And TBC was the golden age of such builds.
For example, paladins could combine some of retribution's DPS talents with the holy tree's Holy Shock to create a "Shockadin" build. (cheap wow gold sale The build allowed a ranged DPS spec for paladins. It wasn't great for endgame dungeons or raiding, but it was fun to play for questing and PvP.
"Swift Moonkins" could opt for a more resto-heavy build that gave them access to Nature's Swiftness for instant nukes and more healing capabilities, at the cost of their Force of Nature summon spell.
To create such a build, you had to sacrifice acquiring the top-end talents, which were most often powerful new spells. In many cases, however, those 41-point talents were not so amazing that you couldn't live without them. The versatility often made up for the lack of a spec's ultimate spell.

UK charts: FIFA 14 on top again, a look back at a momentous year
2013 began with FIFA 13 leading the UK charts, and it ends with FIFA 14 crowned No. 1 for the second week in a row. The smart money is on EA Sports' MVP
making it a hat-trick next week; the opening week's charts for each of the last three years has had a FIFA at the top.
Rather than focusing on a top ten that's so static you'd think it'd just stuffed its face with Christmas dinner, let's look back through the rear view mirror
of statistics at what's been a momentous year of UK charts-ery. We've had two console launches in the space of two weeks, an absolute ton of games, and as
ever plenty of Call of FIFA in the charts.
24 different games topped the UK charts in 2013, including one-week wonders like Ni no Kuni, Resident Evil: Revelations, Aliens: Colonial Marines, and
Payday 2.fifa15guide.com
The Last of Us spent the most time at the UK's peak, earning six successive weeks as the numero uno in the summer. Pats on the back to FIFA 14 and Call
of Duty: Ghosts for each racking five weeks in total, and to four-in-a-row hit Saints Row 4.
Talking of successive No. 1s, six games kept top spot for three weeks running or more: BioShock Infinite, Dead Island: Riptide, The Last of Us,
Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition, Saints Row 4, and Call of Duty: Ghosts.
While Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition did eventually rack up a run at No. 1, it took a good long while to get there. 4J Studios' port spent four weeks in The
Last of Us' shadow, before finally taking over the No. 1 spot in its fifth week at retail.
Grand Theft Auto 5 became the UK's fastest-selling game ever when it launched in September, running off with a staggering 2.25 million sales or so in its
first week.
No surprises that FIFA 13 stayed in the top ten the longest: It dropped out just before FIFA 14 arrived, making it 37 successive weeks in the top ten
across 2013, and 51 in total since its release in September 2012. Special mentions go to Tomb Raider, which departed the top ten after an impressive 25
weeks, and to Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition, which was only pushed out on the week the Xbox One launched, some 22 weeks after release.
Some things will never change: Between them, the Call of Duty and FIFA series led the UK charts for a quarter of 2013, including 8 weeks at the end of
the year. Keep on shooting and kicking stuff, UK!

FIFA 14 review: fifaservice
Apparently following an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" methodology, the FIFA team hasn't introduced any large, game-changing features this year. Heading
into the next console generation, this is very much a "tune-up" year in regards to FIFA 14, and for good reason: It's pretty hard to top EA Canada's efforts
with the FIFA series in recent years. Each iteration of the soccer sim has gradually tapered off its impactful improvements, with the introduction of physics
in FIFA 12 and then First Touch Control in FIFA 13.fifaservice.net
Continuing the trend, the biggest on-field changes in FIFA 14 revolve around one of the first things players will notice: The game feels a bit slower. The
fact is, the game's actual speed may not be any slower than before, but the continual tweaking of passing and dribbling mechanics has lead to FIFA 14
becoming a much more methodical game than before. Your team's progressions seem to take a little longer since the defense plays your attackers tighter,
resulting in passing lanes that are a tad harder to find. The dribbling mechanics added in FIFA 13 have been altered – no longer requiring players to hold
the left trigger – and effectively performing some of the fun combinations from last year is more difficult and confusing now.
FIFA 14 (6/6/13)guy4game.org
The left trigger is now used mostly for protecting the ball from defenders. Holding the trigger causes your player to shield the ball, a strategy that seems
especially effective along the wings, yet otherwise ineffective against even a mediocre defense. Still, it causes your player to slow down and wait for
teammates to better position themselves to receive a pass, which also happened much slower than I would like. When sprinting, the ball gets knocked a little
further away than it did a year ago, lending more vulnerability to faster styles of play, especially when considering tweaks made to First Touch Control.
fifa14service.com
Introduced last year, First Touch Control causes more unpredictability in the ball's movements, and this year it's more sensitive to less skillful athletes.
This causes a much clearer differentiation in how teams play and how players effectively move the ball around the pitch. While I can't necessarily say that
Lionel Messi or Christiano Ronaldo feel different from one another, they certainly perform better than a no-name player from some two-star Chilean club. The
former two superstars might be able to get away with sprinting around the field a little and still avoid confrontation, but with the majority of teams you'll
need to employ a slower, more tactical strategy, as less skilled athletes are more likely to lose control of the ball.
gameusd.net
If EA Canada's goal is to eradicate the arguably cheap "sprint and through pass" tactic employed by some in the past, they've done an admirable job in doing
so with the game's AI alone. In the mid-to-high difficulty levels, the opposition snuffs out passes and makes tackles with ease, and then knocks the ball
around your challenges when on the attack. It seemed as if opponents, regardless of their supposed skill level, navigated the field and the openings in my
defense much easier than my team could. Additionally, don't bother trying to tackle a CPU-controlled player that is sprinting along the sideline while
shielding the ball; it seems downright impossible to get the ball away from them until they're already in the box and approaching the net. The saving grace
here is that slide tackling is more viable this year and no longer a guaranteed penalty, thanks in part to a slightly cleaned-up physics engine that doesn't
have players falling over one other as much.
