[Guardian] Swapped Improved Inspiring Strike and Valiant Cleave in the Gladiator Tree due to general usefulness of Improved Inspiring Strike and situational usefulness of Valiant Cleave. Swapping them will improve pathing choices.

[Pyromancer] A connecting path is created created in Flameweaving tree between Peep’s Whistle and Roaring Pyre for better pathing, improved options.

[Pyromancer] A connecting path is created in Flameweaving tree between newly repositioned Fire is Life to Draconic Aegis for better pathing, improved options and connection between utility nodes.

[Pyromancer] Infernal Path and Fire is Life talents swap their positions within Flameweaving tree so Infernal Path becomes a choice, not a mandatory pathing node.

[Pyromancer] Al Dante and Cataclysm talents in Flameweaving tree now connect to Burning Crescendo so the left and right outer paths of the tree can soundly connect to the middle. Outgoing connections which previously connected Roaring Pyre and Draconic Aegis to Lucifron’s Teachings were removed to avoid crossing paths.

[Pyromancer] Moved the position of Burning Command to second row of Flameweaving to acquire Burning Command (spec) at a similar level to Summon Flame Orb (class) so newer players can get used to it earlier and that pathing at the bottom of the tree is freed up for more choice.
