'''Specialization''' refers to choosing a primary [[talent tree]]. A character is asked choose a specialization at level 10 before spending their first [[talent point]]. Making that choice gives the character some passive bonuses they need in order to be effective in their chosen role, as well as a signature ability – known as a [[Primary Spell]] – of their tree.

Each tree has it's own [[Mastery]]. You may learn [[Mastery]] from your trainer at level 80.

Each point of Mastery skill (not rating) obtained from gear and other sources will further increase the bonus.

For hybrid classes, selecting a specialization will determine the role (healing, tanking, melee DPS or ranged DPS) that the character is optimized for.

For hybrid classes (excluding Priests) a character's specialization will also determine the attribute increased by the [[Armor Specialization|armor specialization]] bonus. The armor specialization bonus is a 5% increase of your primary attribute while wearing your correct armor class (plate, mail, leather or cloth) in all slots.

==The Vengeance mechanic==
  +
The April 2010 class preview introduced the [[Vengeance]] mechanic.

  +
| body = Vengeance: This is a mechanic to ensure that tank damage (and therefore threat) doesn't fall behind as damage-dealing classes improve their gear during the course of the expansion. All tanking specs will have Vengeance as their second talent tree passive bonus. Whenever a tank gets hit, Vengeance will give them a stacking attack power buff equal to 5% of the damage done, up to a maximum of 10% of the character's un-buffed health. For boss encounters, we expect that tanks will always have the attack power bonus equal to 10% of their health. The 5% and 10% bonuses assume 51 talent points have been put into the Protection tree. These values will be smaller at lower levels. Remember, you only get this bonus if you have spent the most talent points in the Protection tree, so you won't see Arms or Fury warriors running around with it. Vengeance will let us continue to make tank gear more or less the way we do today – there will be some damage-dealing stats, but mostly survival-oriented stats. Druids typically have more damage-dealing stats even on their tanking gear, so their Vengeance benefit may be smaller, but overall the goal is for all four tanks do about the same damage when tanking.

Revision as of 15:44, 25 January 2011

Specialization refers to choosing a primary talent tree. A character is asked choose a specialization at level 10 before spending their first talent point. Making that choice gives the character some passive bonuses they need in order to be effective in their chosen role, as well as a signature ability – known as a Primary Spell – of their tree.

Each tree has it's own Mastery. You may learn Mastery from your trainer at level 80. Each point of Mastery skill (not rating) obtained from gear and other sources will further increase the bonus.

For hybrid classes, selecting a specialization will determine the role (healing, tanking, melee DPS or ranged DPS) that the character is optimized for.

For hybrid classes (excluding Priests) a character's specialization will also determine the attribute increased by the armor specialization bonus. The armor specialization bonus is a 5% increase of your primary attribute while wearing your correct armor class (plate, mail, leather or cloth) in all slots. For hybrids, the primary attribute depends on the specialization chosen.

Intellect is considered the primary attribute for healers and offensive casters, i.e. all Mages, all Warlocks, all Priests, Balance and Restoration Druids, Elemental and Restoration Shaman and Holy Paladins.

Agility is considered the primary attribute for leather and mail wearing melee damage dealers and hunters, i.e. Feral Druids in cat form, all Rogues, all Hunters and Enhancement Shaman.

Strength is considered the primary attribute for plate wearing melee damage dealers, i.e. Arms and Fury Warriors, Frost and Unholy Death knights and Retribution Paladins.

Stamina is considered the primary attribute for tanks i.e. Feral Druids in bear form, Blood Death knights, Protection Warriors and Protection Paladins.

The Vengeance mechanic

The April 2010 class preview introduced the Vengeance mechanic.

Cataclysm Class Preview: Warrior | 2010-04-08 16:01 | Blizzard Entertainment Bornakk

Vengeance: This is a mechanic to ensure that tank damage (and therefore threat) doesn't fall behind as damage-dealing classes improve their gear during the course of the expansion. All tanking specs will have Vengeance as their second talent tree passive bonus. Whenever a tank gets hit, Vengeance will give them a stacking attack power buff equal to 5% of the damage done, up to a maximum of 10% of the character's un-buffed health. For boss encounters, we expect that tanks will always have the attack power bonus equal to 10% of their health. The 5% and 10% bonuses assume 51 talent points have been put into the Protection tree. These values will be smaller at lower levels. Remember, you only get this bonus if you have spent the most talent points in the Protection tree, so you won't see Arms or Fury warriors running around with it. Vengeance will let us continue to make tank gear more or less the way we do today – there will be some damage-dealing stats, but mostly survival-oriented stats. Druids typically have more damage-dealing stats even on their tanking gear, so their Vengeance benefit may be smaller, but overall the goal is for all four tanks do about the same damage when tanking.
