Master Talents, Spells & Rotations | TBC Anniversary New Class Skills Guide

Q: How does Arcane Blast fit Mage raid rotations?

Each cast stacks damage/mana ramps (cast time drops, cost rises to x4)—weave 3-4 then dump. PvE: Post-FB for cleave; manage via Water pet/Evocation to avoid dry phases.

Q: What elevates Mass Dispel for Priests in group content?

Strips 1 debuff/10 allies + 1 buff/10 enemies (15yd instant). Bypasses resists; pre-position on MT for curses—pairs with Prayer bounces for spike coverage.

Q: When to Ritual of Souls as Warlock in 25s?

Pre-boss via 3-man channel for 10x mega stones. Raid sustain button; time pulls, protect from kicks as it locks mobility.

Q: Does Shadowstep define Rogue 2v2 viability?

Teleport buffs speed/dmg/threat drop—chain with Mutilate/Envenom. Open healers; cooldown reliance risks if stunned mid-gap.

Q: How does Tree of Life optimize Resto Druids in SSC?

45yd +25% heals via Spirit, -20% mana on HoTs but slows you. Phase bursts; pre-Lifebloom stacks amplify blooms on swaps.

Q: Best Bloodlust timing for Warrior tanks?

40s haste on add phases/CDs. Synergizes Rampage stacks for threat spikes—pop post-Intervene.

With arenas open since February 17th and Phase 1's big three raids—Karazhan, Gruul's Lair, and Magtheridon's Lair—live as of February 19th in TBC Anniversary, Outland's revamped talents and spells are transforming rotations from Vanilla baselines into raid-defining powerhouses. These tree unlocks boost DPS by 20-40% in early clears, but mana-draining cooldown clashes loom—which class demands your first respec to dominate?

Mage: Kiting and Execute Mastery

Mages secure slows, pets, and ramps for multi-target dominance.

Ability	Tree	Key Effect	Duration/CD
Slow	Arcane	-50% speed, ranged/cast speed	15s (1 target)
Dragon's Breath	Fire	Cone fire + disorient (breaks on damage)	3s
Summon Water Elemental	Frost	Pet DPS/tank	45s
Arcane Blast	Arcane	Stacks reduce cast time, raise mana (x4)	N/A
Spellsteal	Arcane	Steal buff (2 min max)	N/A
Shattrath Teleport	Baseline	Group travel	~10 min
Molten Armor	Fire	Reflect fire; +3% crit, -5% crit taken	Replaces others
Ice Lance	Frost	Instant; 3x vs frozen	Instant
Invisibility	Arcane	Fades in after 5s; threat drop/sec	20s

Arcane Blast builds pressure with faster casts but escalating costs—cap at 4 stacks for AoE bursts, dumping via missiles. Slow pins runners, chaining with Nova; Water Elemental off-tanks adds seamlessly. Dragon's Breath scatters but pauses swings, ideal pre-Pet.

Blast packs in Scholomance remixes; Lance executes frozen bosses. In arenas, Spellsteal enemy buffs then Invis for Poly setups—risk mana starvation if regen talents lag behind stacks.

Priest: Dispel and Sustain Revolution

Priests command mass utility and smart HoTs.

Ability	Tree	Key Effect	Duration/CD
Pain Suppression	Discipline	-5% threat, -40% dmg taken, +65% dispel resist	8s
Circle of Healing	Holy	Heal target + party in 15yd	N/A

Binding Heal	Holy	Heal target + self (low threat)	N/A
Shadow Word: Death	Shadow	Nuke; backlash if survives	N/A
Shadowfiend	Shadow	Pet dmg refunds mana	Summon

Mass Dispel vaporizes raid dots or enemy buffs instantly. Prayer chains preemptively; Vamp Touch sustains Shadow mana while group regens. Word: Death risks self-dmg on tough targets.

PVE: Pre-stack Prayer on MT for Gruul spikes; Mass on curses. Vamp early offsets blue bar, but fragile ticks falter against interrupts. PvP: Supp saves through bursts; Fiend LoS pressures.

Warlock: DoT Spread and Peels

Ability	Tree	Key Effect	Duration/CD
Unstable Affliction	Affliction	DoT; dispel silences caster 5s	15s
Summon Felguard	Demonology	Tank/DPS pet	Summon

Seed of Corruption	Affliction	DoT explodes 15yd on full/full dmg	18s
Soulshatter	Demonology	-50% threat (50yd)	N/A

Conflagrate	Destruction	Bonus fire on Immolate	N/A

Seed jumps on procs/death; UA punishes dispels. Felguard taunts, Shatter peels packs. Seed trash in Mag; Fury setups Fears. Ritual pre-pull, but channel locks invite CC—guard it tightly.

Surprise Attacks	Combat	Finishers undodgeable; core dmg +10%	Passive

Cloak of Shadows	Subtlety	Purge debuffs + 90% magic resist	5s

Step closes gaps, buffs Envenom bursts. Shiv layers poisons fast.

PvP Arena: Step > Muti > Envenom for massive openers. PvE: Throw kites. Stack poisons first, as delays expose to trinkets.

Ability	Tree	Key Effect	Duration/CD

Mangle	Feral	Bleed; +30% Shred/Rake	12s
Tree of Life	Restoration	+25% Spirit heals (45yd)	Form
Cyclone	Balance	Airborne immune/unattackable	6s
Flight Form	Baseline	Fly out-combat	N/A
Lacerate	Feral (Bear)	5-stack bleed threat	15s
Pounce	Feral (Cat)	Leap dmg + stun CP-Based	CP-based
Lifebloom	Restoration	HoT + stack x3 bloom	7s

Tree amps group heals; Mangle ramps bleeds. Cyclone isolates without threat.

PvE: Bloom tanks; Treants cleave. Cyclone peels, but airborne flags for swaps.
