Interesting enchants. Presumably there will still be a "Dancing Steel" of the expansion, so to speak. Tank one looks particularly weak. Only triggers below 50%?
awww man =(Not that thrilled about the DK tank changes. I was liking the idea of having double-shields. Now Death Coil increases HP, and Rune-Tap only shields missing HP.I'm also not that thrilled about the changes to scent of blood. Otherwise, cool info :P
Just as a heads up, we have a tech issue currently preventing me from editing the post and adding summary of the new items/maps etc but our tech crew is working on it :)Edit: Simply moved all the non-spell stuff to a new post: https://www.cuckhead.com/cata/news=240145/wod-build-18297-item-highlights-icons-garrisons-and-more
The Blizzard like to torture BALANCE players A LOT! 3exp like the spank caster HURTs
The amount of changes to warriors especially arms are mind boggling. Enrage has been changed to only trigger at critical block! (Bit confusing considering how Raging Blow works). Mastery for arms changed to flat increase of CS, slam and execute which can be used at any point. Well Blizzard has been promising to work on rotation of arms warriors we'll see how it will work. Worth mentioning that execute for fury hit with both weapons to compensate.
Pounce and Ravage get folded into Rake and Shred, a good counter to button bloat, also reduces the need for a stealth bar (or macros) for Ferals, which they still don't have as far as I know (been using Dominos to set up one for years now)Also, I saw an earlier draft of this news article that was up briefly, which had new globalstrings, including these:
nerf nerf nerf warlock so much nerf enogh! i dont like this chagne and nerfing some 100 lvl talent u nerf that i see nerfing full destruction..morely
Kil'jaeden's Cunning: Calls upon the cunning of Kil'jaeden to permit movement while casting Warlock spells. This spell may be cast while casting other spells. Lasts 15 sec.again?
So. Many. Changes....
GlyphsNew Glyph of Mind Harvest: The first time you damage an enemy with Mind Blast, you gain 50 additional Orb."you gain 50 additional Orb.""50 additional Orb""50"WHAAAAAAT? i thought the max shadow orb priest could hold maximum is 5 .... how could they get 50 shadow orb? it's doesn't make sense plus the glyph might not be clear in a way.... "The first time you damage AN enemy ..." does that mean if i mind blast 2 different enemies... it's gonna give 100 shadow orb? i mean this confuse me a lot >.<
Oh well, it was fun for warlocks to have viable Level 90 talent choices while they lasted...
I'm just wondering if Ret, looking like it's going to be relatively weaker AFTER the stat crunch, isn't actually being nerfed yet.I mean maybe i'm missing something, but we're losing utility and all of the abilities look like they're wired to deal less damage. But that's not a nerf, right? Ret is good!
Don't play melee so not sure how abilities that hit with both weapons work. Crazed Berserker makes execute hit with both, so would that be 210% from MH WD and 210% WD from OH for a total fo 2x execute per use. Or would it take MH and OH wd add them both up and tmes it by 210% and that what the damage would really be? So for fury who DW 2H would always do more damage per execute then an arms who only using 1x 2H?Also they could make each caster/ melee do the same damage if they just make them get the same benefit. Example Frost Bolt does 212% spell power and Shadow Bolt does want 203% - if they made FB = SB or SB = FB with out factoring in crits - both spells would do the same damage, and thus in a fight where both mage and lock just spam that one attack both would come out be same dps or very close (with factors like lag factor in)
The new Hunter level 100 talent looks very exciting.Not sure what to think about some of the talents where it says a version isn't available to compare (like deterrence) - hoping that doesn't mean they're removed from the game.
"Glyph of Mind harvest" Is the cap on Shadoworbs increased in Warlords? But even 50 orbs seems very much.Could this one be a little better explained please? :)Otherwise the changes to classes looks quite nice in my opinion.
Being a monk on live servers i am wondering with the crane stance version of since it replaces blackout kick will we still get the crane's zeal proc that we receive from
