Blizzard had another chat with their lifeblood on Twitter. Oddly enough, I knew about this, I was reminded by it from listening to TotalBiscut’s BluePLZ yesterday, and yet I completely forgot about it!

I am obviously a bit of a Twitter fanatic, and I like it when Blizzard takes time to sit down and talk to their customers about upcoming ideas – especially because they take time to talk directly to us, rather than through a half-cryptic magazine interview somewhere. It feels more casual. Its nice.

Bornakk and Zarhym did an excellent job at answering the many questions, ranging from masteries to archeology, from raids to PvP and was very willing to give out their thoughts on class changes and hints to things we don’t yet know of – and I think that there is a lot that we still haven’t been told.

I would suggest that you all take a look at it, because it tells you a lot about Blizzard’s mindset for Cataclysm. One answer did spike a “Oh hello?” moment, when the following question was asked about druids:

Q. What change are you most excited about?
A. Some of the new Balance talents for druids, like Solar Beam, which works like Freya’s spell where it instantly silences a target and they have to move out of the beam to get rid of the debuff.

“Oh hello” awesome new silence ability, with a graphic to let everybody know that the person standing in the beam is virtually defenceless. Even if this is mostly for PvP, it does look like a nice tool to our arsenal.
