the purge nerfs are good for multiboxers, as typically we have one round of purges and then move on. That's obviously different than a solo toon spamming it
Gotcha - then I see nothing but good news for ele boxers. All the op classes got nerfed pretty hard.
the shaman stuff is actually good, 1 min on elemental mastery is really insane, for both enhance and elemental, since I can then go ascendance+em all the time, and also EM+trinket every minute; but it kinda sucks that 10% extra damage on lava burst have been added on unleash fury and not unleash elements :/
the shockwave "nerf" isnt really a good change for us because it'll still have 20 sec cooldown against boxers (except the warrior is really retarded and misses it)
after all that I'll still go with enhance, gonna be excited about the changes to our tier 45 talents as they have been mentioned before
Thread has been sticky'd. Please keep all 5.2 PTR discussion in this thread.
I really can't see a 1min CD for 20s giving 30% haste for the best healer in the game going live. Pretty sure they will change that (at the expense of ele of course). Not to mention that they would have to buff echo of elements for pve reasons for ele, because else everyone would grab EM. Now trhe prob in pvp was that it doesn't line up with ascendance, unless you delay it on purpose. I can see them bringing it to a 1.5m cd though.Quote:

New Level 60 Talent: Ring of Peace
Ring of Peace forms a 8 yard Sanctuary around the target for 8 seconds, causing all enemies in the area of effect to be silenced and disarmed.
dont want another rof in this game
Another ring....They just removed two blanket silences, it doesn't make sense to add another one... that's aoe... and disarmsQuote:

I'm loving the game more than ever, some pretty good changes. The new armor tiers are kinda meh but no biggie. I love the triceratops mount and hunter pet--I hope it isn't exotic.
Knew that Monks would get some love.. 8) glad i have 5 at 85 8) Very happy about the shaman changes as well.. longer flame shock.. faster EM ..etc..
Does this give Monks the potential to be decent now for PvP? or are they still lacking? I know it's too early to tell but looking for feedback because their abilities are very foreign to me right now.
New World Boss System
- All world bosses are now Tap to Faction. This new system offers every eligible player of the same faction that engages a boss the chance to earn loot. Under the new system, players will only be able to earn loot from each world boss once per week, but bonus rolls apply. Bosses will now respawn more frequently as well.
no longer need to be in a group for a world boss just be about where he is tag it and boom free lootz
PvP
- PvP trinkets that clear loss of control effects will now also clear these effects from the player's pet as well.
this is a great change! that meens hunter pets get double with there cooldown that now u can do even when the get is LOS.
I like these changes alot monks have really good sustained dps and its even better, maybe too good along with them getting some burst now. However, I think they are still going to be trained by cleaves.Quote:

Yep and 40% damage on each character is a total of 120%, so net dps boost! :P
I'd imagine the silence would have diminishing returns.
Would the disarm effect be diminishing as well?
8 seconds per monk, could stack quite a few monks especially for world pvp in Stormwind/Orgrimmar.
looking like some awesome changes that will actually make the game better... who woulda thought.
MAYBE not so much for boxers, but for 3's the changes are great.
Mages got nerfed with that deep freeze change lol, but then again, they aren't supposed to be deep freezing then 3-4 ice lances, they are meant to frost bomb > deep > cast spell > ice lance so they all hit at once anyway... for the pros, this won't change anything.
If anything, they got buffed with that frostbolt change...
Wow... I may just start playing my monk team at 90 that is collecting dust.Quote:

I don't see anything in those notes addressing the fact that elemental shaman hit like wet noodles even though they're hard casters. The only other pvp hard caster is a Shadow Priest, yet they hit like trucks. Mage and warlock specs allow instants that hit harder than elemental blast. The only way to be on par with damage is to get extremely lucky with RNG mastery procs. This while fire mages instant pyro for 120k.
The animated gif in your signature is disturbing. I don't like to see real violence. *shiver*Quote:

I hope you have fully recovered from that, and may the coming new year bring you love and happiness.
And playing wow where you KILL how many creatures and players as a daily routine is not bothering you? I'm sorry to hear that happened to you, but imo some sense for context and put things into perspective wouldn't hurt on this board ...Quote:

Guaranteed 2 overpowers per MS and the higher DPS on slam is gonna make a GREAT lazy macro =D

It can be easier just not seeing posts by certain people who choose to be annoying.
It is an option, anyway.
Guessing ratings for almost all gear will return. They could make the conquest rings/cloak/neck etc. just cost conquest points.Quote:

or they cloud not give us weps for honor on the next season like they did in cata. or even make weps back needing a ratingQuote:
