“Wow,” Lolegolas said. “Another sword, huh?”

Throgg looked up from where he’d been busily grooming his monobrow with his tongue. “What you mean, little belfling?”

“You have a different sword again,” Lolegolas said. He tossed his flowing locks over his shoulder, revealing the glittering perfection of his chest. “You just had Kliklak’s and now … this.”

“Ah, yes,” Throgg grunted. “It is sword with Mastery on it, as stat. Since it no longer part of talents, I thought it must be very important to have on sword. The Poisonfire Greatsword has much Mastery! Make Throgg strong!”

“Hm, of course,” Lolegolas said. “I will say that this sword seems rather magnificent. It appeals to my more savage aesthetic. It’s all rough and course and manly.”

“Right,” Throgg said. “I got it for infiltrating a camp in the beta. Throgg is very clever, and was given the Poisonfire Greatsword as a reward.”

“Do you remember anything about the lore of the quest?” Lolegolas asked. The roleplayer in him was coming out, and the blood elf was getting very excited.

Throgg’s unibrow furrowed in confusion. “Lore? What? “

“Story is,” Throgg answered with finality, “I got this awesome sword.”

This twitter developer chat was focused on the recent beta talent tree overhaul announced for Cataclysm. Lots of information came out including drastic changes to the paladin class. A lot of the answers had to do with the fact that a couple classes aren’t very done in the current beta build that everyone has been poring over.

Some highlights:

• paladins will be using a new Holy Power resource system in addition to mana
• all death knights will gain Runic Empowerment via trainers for all specs
• no planned hard cap for the new Mastery stat
• still no guild housing

The full categorized round-up is after the break.
