It appears that the Balance PvP talent Ironfeather Armor no longer exists as of the 9.0 prepatch.

In the talent section Solstice is listed as the choice for the L50 row but in the rotation it is said to cast Fury of Elune on CD - which is a different L50 talent.

That is mainly a notation of when to cast it if talented. I will mark it as such when I do my update tonight.

Ahh okay I should have figured. Sorry!

I strongly suggest you amend the guide to include the PvP talents Prickling Thorns and Deep Roots, they make entangling root do an absurd amount of dmg while leveling. You can basically root a mob, move to the next, and that mob will die in seconds. I tested most of the combinations of PvP talents and nothing beats this one. It also makes soloing elites insanely easy and fast.

Edit : I forgot to add, you HAVE take mass entanglement if you go that route. You can pull 10+ mobs and instantly root them + starfall, your aoe is just ridiculous.

In BFA/Legion that pvp talent didnt affect mass roots. I will update accordingly.

When set to level 20 the rotation guide says to be in Moonkin Form which is not available until Level 21.

Make sure to always be in Moonkin Form.

That what the guide says from level 10 onwards, but Moonkin Form isn't available until level 21.https://i.imgur.com/yi6rbqn.png

FYI - The leveling guide is broken. Some skills aren't available when the guide says and some skills have more points allocated to them than are even possible.

Ill have this fixed shortly.

I really need help here.  This guide says to put into Solstice x2.  I cannot.  Literally only able to put 1 point into it.  Same with Nurturing instinct.  Says x3 but can only do x2.  Really need this updated for Dragonflight.

I pushed the update for review when I made my previous post last night.

Whoever did reviews for 10.1 screwed up the Talent sheets. Only the Class sheet shows up. The Spec sheet is no longer showing on any of the leveling specs for any class.

[Guest Guest]

The Balance Tree is missing on the web page.

[Bora 8]

Sorry about that, should be fixed shortly.

What happened to the spec-specific talent tree recommendations? Didn't there use to be a second tree on this guide?

[Guest NeglectedChub]

the guide is wrong i believe. its says to take wild charge at level 10 but that is in the middle of the tree not at the start

I will get this sorted later tonight. Sorry about that. Wild charge should be taken as soon as possible however.
