Talents still start at level 10. The single-point 'gold medal' talents at 11, 21 and 31 points are joined by a new one at 16 points.
Dual Specialization at level 40Confirmed
Dual Spec unlocks at level 40. Talents (including Legacy talents) are reset at a class trainer in a major city.
Arcane Blast returnsArcaneConfirmed
A new 11-point gold medal talent: a 2.5 second cast that hits immediately, then raises the damage of your other Mage spells.
Missile BarrageArcaneConfirmed
A new 16-point talent: several spells can make your next Arcane Missiles channel twice as fast and cost no mana.
Your own IgniteFireConfirmed
Ignite is now a separate debuff for each Mage, which fixes old threat and damage-credit problems.
Less AoE farmingConfirmed
Mage AoE farming is toned down on purpose, to make life harder for gold sellers and boosters.
