Random Idea: Minor Passive Bonuses from Talent Specialization

Something random I thought of that I think would be neat if they did.
What if, as you got in to the top tiers of your talent trees you got passive minor "bonuses" that were just cosmetic and for fun, and you could turn them on and off it you wanted. Not extra abilities, just cool little things that went along with your spec.
Examples: For a Fire mage, when you spend 40 points in the Fire tree your eyes could have the option to glow red, then say at 50 you would leave little flames that lasted maybe a second behind you when you walked.
Or for a Resto druid, at 40 points if you stand still a flower or two grows at your feet (like a mini Lifebloom but all the time if you want and no heal) and at 50 critters will follow you around a while if you run past them.
Just little stuff like that, and high enough in the tree where you couldn't get "bonuses" from more then one tree. Yeah, not ever going to happen, but I thought it was a neat idea and wanted to see what others thought.

This is great. Not only would it be cool, it is also useful as you'd be able to find out what spec another char is without inspecting them.
Big /sign from me.

I have to say, I really love this idea too, and would love to see things like resto druids leaving grass and flowers behind them. I am just wondering what effect my prot warrior would have, and I'm thinking a slight size buff or a glowing shield or something. Would be cool.
I was thinking of some warrior stuff to, like arms would have permanent bloodstains on their weapons and/or the dripping blood animation (might be better for fury, but my main is arms/prot so deal with it :P ) and prot would have some cool scars or something. I'm picturing a prot Tauren with a size buff :)
I could see a nice glowy shield for prot pallies.

I kinda like the resto druid idea. Let me list some.
When a rogue puts more than 40 points in the sub tree, all his points should be instantly refunded and he is forced to spec mutilate.
When a paladin puts more than 40 points in the ret tree, he should get free aion wings and the
divine eye lasers
spell.
When a shaman puts more than 40 points in the elemental tree, he should get an e-mail from blizz stating: "sorry, we will fix you next year."

So what about a Tauren Feral Druid? Do they become hairier?
I like it, but that just makes me wonder.

Holy Paladins have glowing white hands (for healing)
prot pallies shield glows all the time
ret pallies are followed by a miniature divine storm, or have wings
I would say for subtlety rogues they kinda fade into the shadows a bit even when not stealthed.
I doubt the ret one will ever come to be (maybe we can have white eyes instead?) but this is epic. /signed

I'm just thinking about hunters though... for Survival some scars, marksmanship... I dunno. Same goes with BM. Scars for BM I'd say, possibly tattoos for Survival, and 'extra weapons' for marksman.

Affliction- any plants or critters around them die slowly.
I was thinking something like that for Unholy DKs too, like a little patch of blight forms at their feet if they're standing still and lasts a couple seconds after they move, would work nice for Aff locks too
We keep this up we're going to have a full list and we can storm Blizzard HQ and make demands of them :)

I would make a resto druid, round up as many critters as I could, then slowly slaughter them one by one.
With my fists.
