5.2 PTR / General Information

[Blubber]

no the 1st patch in cata we did not get "honor pvp" weps the season after we did. the gear was buffed so honor gear was better then last times conquest gear not sure with item upgrading they do that again.


in other Good NEWS for boxers!!!!

i did read somewhere that for 5.2 blizzard wonted pickup quests (floor quests) to work in a group. So got my ptr accounts and made some chars to see if its made it. and well Yes and no.

the system atm is very very bugged but its kinda there. most pickup quests on the floor does not even work but i manged to find one picked up a item and it did this.

Main char:
You receive item: ItemiPickedUp
You create ItemiPickedUp
You create ItemiPickedUp

clone A:
You create ItemiPickedUp
You create ItemiPickedUp

Clone b:
You create ItemiPickedUp
You create ItemiPickedUp

jamba quest log did 6/12

then i got DCED of the server when i manged to log back in my chars was stuck manged to get them in (back at HS place) but the quest was missing on the list. when back cloud not pickup quest (said i did it) even though the npc was trying hand it to me. then crashed again off server 3 logins back to the HS place again.

(tryed without any addons and the same thing.) looting npcs work

Seems like its kinda there but a bit buggy.

Nice change though if it makes it. (works)

If this goes live it would make questing in MOP a bit easier :], let's hope for the best!

A F'n MAN! to that!!!.. just have them talk to the guys at eq2.. a lot of those ground item collection quests give the whole group credit when one member loots it. This will make questing so much more fun! I actually love to quest solo...but hate it with that ungodly amount of these ground item collection quests this expansion.

EQ2 has a some of nice features that I occasionally send in suggestions about. I still pray for the day that they implement a mentoring system and swapping directly to another character instead of having to log to character select.

The mentoring thing would be so great! i LOVED that in EQ2~

some tweets I read:

- elemental mastery will be most likely a 1.5m cd
- they are playing around with the idea to remove the jumping attenuation of chain lightning (i.e. chain lightning will hit each target for the same amount). nothing was said about compensation btw (e.g. that the initial hit would be lower)
- both 2p (aoe dmg proc) and 4p T15 (each lvb cast shortens the cd of ascendance by 1s, which would make it around a 2.20-2.30m cd) are influenced by overloads

That jumping attenuation would remove the benefit of casting lava beam during ascendance...

Well lava beams initial hit is higher than chain lightnings first hit (about 20% to 30% more). You can check that yourself vs a trainingdummy. Unequip your weapon/trinkets (anything that can give you an int proc) and cast a few chain lightnings, then cast a few lava beams. Make sure your clearcast proc doesnt skew the results.

But yeah it gap clearly narrows if that was to go life.

[zenga]

The answer is there: lava beam now does 10% extra damage per jump. And chain lightning no longer goes down per jump. Elemental mastery on 1.5m cd.

Also, edited the title of the thread to make it more general to 5.2 and less specific to Shaman.
