Thorns

Thorns
400 mana 30 yd range
Instant cast
Thorns sprout from the friendly target causing 25 Nature damage to attackers when hit. Lasts 10 min.

What is this skill useful for? It is best applied on the tank, It does free damage & threat everytime the tank gets hit. Now you can spend 3 pts in the balance tree to increase the damage by 75% which brings it to 43 damage, but that would be a waste of points since there are better places to spend points at.

What I want to see is this talent removed and replaced with something better and make thorns scale with gear like say 2% of spell damage, so if you have +1000 spell damage you get 20 damage which would make it 45 damage.

This is just me ranting with nothing to talk about.

Great suggestion that I saw on the EJ forums:

Combine Improved Thorns with Improved Faerie Fire somehow into a single talent. Both of those are talents that are nice for the group, but do NOT help the person who specs it in any way.

(Is there any other talent in any class tree like that? I can't think of anything at all. IFF seems like a must-take for raiding, but it doesn't help the guy taking it at all)

The IFF spot is replaced with improved Moonkin (similar to Improved LotP))

Seems from your posts that you're Balance specced right now. Mind sharing what you have? I can't figure out any way to take everything needed from the balance tree and get 5/5 Subtlety as well. :(

Like your writing style BTW - nice blog. :)

Thanks!
