New fire nova has lots of potential
4.0.6
Earthquake damage has been increased by approximately 10%.
4.0.10
Earthquake base damage has been reduced by 40%.
...
Death's Advance now prevents movement-impairing effects from reducing you below 60/75% of normal movement speed, down from 75/100%
Saw that one coming...
That already happened.
Only if you take the talent it becomes a 2 second cast and damage is reduced instead of the normal channeled version.Quote:

Hrm slightly more useful now. Possibly useful in pvp.
haha who am I kidding elemental pvp is teh suck
My accounts aren’t active to test this...Quote:

Wow. I'm so glad I canceled my accounts now. I was actually a bit excited about the new heroics and was comtemplating renewing, but once this change goes live, DK/4xRets are officially dead for pve and pvp. I don't see how this team could even remotely stand a chance now.
Paladin (Forums / Cataclysm Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)
* Word of Glory now has a 20-second cooldown.
From MMO-Champ, this doesn't appear to be a holy-only change as indicated at the start of the thread.
If that blood of the north change goes live... holy shit i'd actually start playing again.
Paladin (Forums / Cataclysm Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)
* Word of Glory now has a 20-second cooldown.
this appears to be a ret/prod nerf only, holy has a passive talent to remove CD.
If this goes live, ret boxing is not looking good. Have to box a holy paladin for PVE. PVP wise, it is not working anyway, even now. So nerfing it further won't change too much.
No it means you cast the AoE on the ground and don't have to channel anymore. However it is still Elemental only.Quote:

Some of these changes seem like changes just for the hell of it.

They seem to just be changing stuff, just for the sake of changing it"
Oh look there an alliance boxer in my BG, how cute ..
5x FS - 5x fire nova-5x Lava Burst-5x glyphed CL+EM
have a nice day!
Have they switched a bunch of wow devs and project managers recently or something? Its like new management has taken over and is grappling with learning how the game works and chnaging things to head in some new direction. I guess what im saying is that some of these changes along with 4.06 make it look like theyre groping in the dark.
I think you mean grasping at straws or fumbling in the dark, lol ;)
Restoration
- Purification now increases the effectiveness of healing spells by 25%, up from 10%.
Looks good for my 7 Resto Shaman!
here the new Shammy EQ changes its on 10sec cooldown and it lasts for 10secs so thats 100% uptime and a 50% of knocking a player over (with 5) looks fun for tower fights

Only 5000 gold as a multiboxer? For shame I thought all boxers had one million gold!

This guy is in the Officer's area on live, as is one for PvE points.Quote:

Sorry about that Ebony. You never know in this game :) Although that should really encourage me to be more gender non-specific I guess :P

Hello DeathKnightsQuote:
Death Knights
* Raise Ally has been redesigned to be a battle resurrection, analogous to Rebirth. It is instant cast, but costs 50 Runic Power to use, and has a 10-minute cooldown. It shares the same global battle resurrection cap with Rebirth and Soulstone.
* Talent Specializations
o Blood
+ Blood Shield now only works while in Blood Presence.
o Frost
+ * Blood of the North (passive) now permanently converts both Blood Runes into Death Runes. There is no longer any proc interaction with Blood Strike required to activate Death Runes.
+ Frost Strike now deals 130% of weapon damage, up from 110%.
+ Howling Blast damage has been increased by 20%. To compensate, the area-of-effect splash now does 50% of the single-target damage, down from 60%. The net result of this change leaves the area-of-effect damage roughly the same as 4.0.6 numbers.
Glyphs
* Glyph of Raise Ally is now Glyph of Death Gate, and makes Death Gate cast 60% faster.
Noooooooooooooooo
The gold amounts on the following encounters have been substantially reduced: Flame Leviathan, Magtheridon, Gruul the Dragonkiller, Doom Lord Kazzak, and all encounters in Karazhan.
Oh shit better get your farming on! I love what they are doing with frost DKs =D
If these go live...
Frost single target pressure increases.
Frost Strike is a large portion of our damage.
And Death Runes all the time.
That's an extra 1x Obliterate, or any combination of two Necrotic Strike/Howling Blasts.
Without the need for Blood Tap or Blood Strike anywhere in the rotation.
They just got through making ret pally DPS mostly random again, and now they're making DK rotations faceroll? Were the current devs AFK during the original Seal of Command debacle?Quote:

Rogue's pretty faceroll rotation
Enh Sham what rotation ? Oh shiny click it.
Ret is like a randomly prioritized rotation if that makes any sense. But with the new integrated power auras like HEY ASSHOLE PUSH THIS ONE! It is fairly easy and macroable.
Why DK's keep getting more and more is beyond me. WTB ele sham pvp changes (Playing 1 shaman in 3v3 mindset here)
Oh well my DK's are in the home streatch to 85 so I guess I'll take my buffs and go back to smashing people like an F18 Brah.
