  • An issue was preventing some players from properly mailing account bound items to other characters on the same realm and Battle.net account. If you are still experiencing this issue, we recommend you log into both characters before sending the mail. The characters don’t need to be online at the same time for this to work.
  • Children’s Week quests should no longer be unavailable to players who recently transferred factions.
  • Flying wisp form and flying mounts, both living and dead, can enter bodies of water smoothly.

Classes
  • Spells or talents which provide pushback protection should now be functioning correctly (i.e. Burning Soul for mages or Suppression for warlocks). This time we mean it.

Rogue (Forums / Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)
  • Shadowstep is instantly teleporting players behind their target when the target is in motion.

Dungeons & Raids
  • Call to Arms rewards will now be displayed in the Dungeon Finder UI while a player is in the dungeon so they know what rewards they will get.

Throne of the Four Winds
  • Damage from Ice Storm in phase 1 of Al’Akir is ticking twice per second, which was causing excessive damage on Heroic difficulty. To compensate, the damage per tick has been reduced for Heroic difficulty.

Items
  • Players are now able to get a random Darkmoon card inside of a Sealed Scroll Case, instead of always getting a Darkmoon Card of Destruction.

Quests & Creatures
  • The Innkeeper's Daughter can no longer be targeted for healing or harmful effects.
  • Players now fail The Crucible of Carnage: The Earl of Evisceration when killed by Lord Geoffery Tulvan during the encounter. Players are able to pick up the quest after it is failed and the event starts again without issue.

    it's so that people can see throughout the dungeon if they're still eligible for the reward, as there were complaints that they way it is advertised thus far has been false. CtA doesn't occur when you queue, it's when the final boss is killed. so if one queues when, let's say, healers called, that doesn't necessarily mean that healers will receive the reward. this is just to clarify who will receive what. though it may well mean that people hold off killing the final boss till they get "called"

    Guys you make me rofl more very day
    Yes cause it's so common for a 4p set bonus to require raid participation. How would any kind of DPS feel if their 4p bonus was something they randomly put on the floor in front of boss and other raid members must go click it so he gets a dps boost - it's retarded to say the least and so is the healing priests 4p bonus.

    With the 4-piece Cat bonus, everyone seems to be assuming all it will do is add 2s onto Berserk. What if it just keeps adding it? Like you pop berserk, build up 5 combo points and hit FB, you get +2s, gotta build up more combo points, FB, then another 2+s. Would Berserk eventually run out still? Obviously if you can extend it indefinitely that's not how it would work, it would be way to OP, but what if it allows you to keep it up quite a bit longer, while changing what we do to add in FB instead of just Shred spam?

    The 4pc feral bonus is shit, you're supposed to spam shred while berserk is up, not ferocious bite or something like that.

    yet again a copy paste 2 part bonus for healer. its nice but still... nothing game breaking or will change play style. they could just shorten the text for all 2 part healing bonuses to.
    "You have a change to get 2% mana when You heal."

    "higher hot streak chance?" I mean. Its based on 2 crits in a row. will it now randomly give you a pyro pluss the dubble crit one ? if so than i guess its nice. Arcane missiles while moving seems kinda fun aswell =P

    Uh... What?
    Don't worry, this just means "we have not yet decided on the %", I saw something like that on other mmo champions reported talent/set boni in the past.

    Hang on.. people are complaining about getting a FREE lightwell? That's amazing! 1 disco tankhealer, 1 holy raidhealer = 3 lightwells.. jesus, that's amazing. Might suck for pugs, but tbh, who cares about pugs when you have 4-set? you're going to be raiding. And good raiders click - epecially with the no-more-channel-breaking hotfix the other day...

    Okay, I prefer Lifebloom personally, but that hits two nearby targets.. not the entire damn raid! As a raidleader, I can't hype that set bonus enough, seriously.

    Shaman 2pc is great, 4pc is "ok" but it also depends on the fight. So it might turn out to be awesome for Firelands.

    It's retarded just because you and your raid doesn't use lightwell. I use it everytime i see it down - requires 0 effort, only a mouse click. the set bonus summons lightwells by himself - heals on demand as needed. Your tanks will be happy i can assure you.

    Changing the character order is a nice tool... but.. it took them somewhat 6 years? And it's coming in 4.2, so still some time before it gets added.
    Problem is, though, that I'm quite happy with the charlist atm, because I have deleted all the middle ones that I don't play.. FAIL ME! -_-
    Still, will love this option! \o/

    Tanks using the lightwell should get killed. The Hot vanishes if you get hit for more than 30% of you hp..... which basically any boss is able to.

    Didn't know about this, really. Anyway the set bonus gives a direct heal, which should be fine. We need to know if the flame pops out randomly placed, near the priest or tnear the healed target. I imagine it's the last option.

    I dont like the HPala 2pc but i Love the 4pc....
  1. Hoptam's Avatar
    for someone like me (resto shaman) who basicly never use chain heal (ten man perspective) the 4pc bonus just doesnt make me happy at all.

    T11 2pc bonus is meh cause I basicly never use healing wave and now this. For me over two tires so far I am about to use just 50% of the bonuses which makes me sad panda :-(

    So now something you have to look for and then click on is a direct heal?

    It boils down to other players to utilize it. If no-one utilizes it, it's as if this bonus doesn't exist on my set, so yeah it's shit, even if it's 90% utilized it's still shit as all the other 4p set bonuses up-till-now were always 100% utilized.

    A) It's a random chance that the Cauterizing Flame spawns (shit)
    B) You can't count on it to heal people 'cause it's random (shit)
    C) You can't count on it to heal people 'cause it might spawn away from everyone, and moving to it is not an option (healer standing away from group for various reasons, if it spawns on the healer)
    D) People have to find it and click it (shit)

    The list goes on...

    As said come back and join the debate when your DPS/Tank class has such a 4p set, that requires others to actually make it viable; Leave this discussion to the healers and foremost priests.
