Patch 4.0.6 - PTR Build 13529

Update Priest - Yep, screwed up on the Circle of Healing change. Fixed, sorry about that. (Blue Post)

Patch 4.0.6 - PTR Build 13529
A new build will be deployed on test realms very soon with a bunch of new changes. You probably already saw some of them in the official notes update from the past week, keep in mind that datamining isn't an exact science, if you're not sure about a change and if it's not in the official patch notes, wait for a confirmation from a blue poster before you whine about it.

These changes are mostly the results of tooltip comparison, some changes might be outdated or just wrong because we suck at parsing data. If you have any doubt, check the official patch notes and if official patch notes do not exist for that change just assume it's very temporary or wrong.

    That was always 1%, it's a tooltip correction. On Wowhead if you follow the link to the actual effect of the meta, it said 1% there even when Cata was launched.

    ehm heroic strike should be buffed for warrior tanks imo, as a warrior tank it's already to hard to hold agro at the start of a fight, they should do something about that. the mages and paladins ( some other specc aswell ) burst so much dmg that i have a very hard time to hold the boss on me

    Demonic Empowerment (Felguard) now also removes fear.

    We are officially unstoppable in duels.

    its kinda strange the already pve op class getting some boosts and fire mages keep being left out when they are the weakest of the pure class dps.

    Your apparent sense of entitlement is matched only by your ignorance!

    The meta was always +1% SBV - the tooltip incorrectly stated 5%.

    The stats were reduced on crafted epics by a small margin and replaced with a socket and small appropriate socket bonus. Ultimately, this means a slight buff to all of them.

    I'm not sure what game you are playing but fire mages are currently the highest mage dps spec by a long way and it looks like it is getting boosted by the patch notes. Arcane is pretty much dead right now, it is 25-30% behind fire on every boss in the game. I am blue in the face telling our guilds mages to stop speccing arcane for raids, some of them have been enjoying their 2 button spec for so long I don't think they remember how to play anything else.

    Every day I'm more and more grateful that I chose not to renew my subscription when it expires on the 25th. This expansion has been nothing but a huge cluster-you-know-what since it came out. Tons of bugs, crappy quests, horrible zones, and now patch fixes that don't make any sense at all. Does Blizzard even know what game they're working on any more? Perhaps they think they're working on Titan here (or whatever it's called).

    Oh, well. Looks like some interesting games on the horizon. I've heard really good things about Rift. Heck, even if Rift fails, maybe it will jump start Blizzard into getting their asses back in gear and not just changing things based on how what they ate for lunch is sitting in their stomachs in the afternoon...

    Why do I have to keep up with this chakra crap only to be penalized in the end. I mean if I go into AoE chakra, let my heals feel powerful - more powerful as any other healers - that why it's there. I mean healing without any chakra state right now is bad. Or give every other healer a mechanic like chakra to fight it.
    Yaa, feels odd. Especially the CoH nerf. I always played disc in cata and these patchnotes tell me to stay disc
