General
  • 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.

    Perhaps the most stupid bonuses for mages of all times.

    1st bonus - proc which can proc you yet another buggy, stupid, uncontrolled images which usually do the exact opposite of what would you expect or want them to do. they also scale terribly.

    2nd bonus - even now AB is 85% of our dmg and with every tier (more Int) it is going to be slightly more and more. Arcane spec is total fail we all know that. But if Blizzard is incompetent to erase this spec as a whole (and start over) or at least completely rebuild this spec :-) then they should at least give us some REASONABLE BONUSES!

    Arcane missiles are 5 - 10% of our dmg per encounter and in general: more AM you cast less dps you do :-) Proccing of AM is COMPLETELY OK right now and we DO NOT NEED more of them.. To be able to move with this sh**y spell is cool but it is like 1% DPS increase tops and this is for P4T12 absolutely inacceptable.

    For PVE Frost it is kinda better but for Fire it is again fail. Fire mages depend on mechanism of Hot streak which in most cases (when you have reasonable amount of crit) do not let you to lose any of those procs. What blizzard plans to do is put MORE F***ing RNG into the most RNG spec ever made in WoW and it will also cause more "Hot Streak" munching because P4 will proc from 1st crit and Tier4 talent Hot streak will proc from 2nd crit and you will most certainly NOT cancel another fireball and then cast previously procced pyroblast - DPS wise it is better to lose this proc. And now blizzard - why are you pushing us with next P4 Tier into such stupid decisions?

    And btw why we are forced to use for endgame progress such a sh**y spec like Arcane? well, i just hope that at least raids will be as challenging as hard modes in this raiding tier are :-/

    Or poor.
    first i have 2 accounts
    2nd i dont want play 2 accounts at once
    third go look up the definition of troll
    fourth having more slots on 1 account is what i want and as ive already said id pay for them as they are more practical and it saves having to keep logging in and out and adding authenticator details over and over

It gets clicked. I even go back into logs sometimes to make sure people clicked it. If I'm too wrapped up in healing to call for it, then the raid leader calls for it.

    If people in your raid (or other healers, or raid lead, or you yourself) aren't making good use out of it and reminding people to click it, that's your problem. It is a great spell. I love it. The new four piece sounds awesome, and when one of my priests gets their 4 piece you bet your arse I'll be looking for it and calling it out.
    Another person who just doesn't get it. Call over mumble to click it is fine, doesn't mean people are going to click it. In addition, these are fire bosses, we're going to have a fire flame, who says your going to be able to see it? who says its actually going to do enough healing?

    But what you don't get is that the shadow 2piece is just...better. it's a huge amount of regen that is ON DEMAND. We control it. Scroll through logs all you like, i have better things to do that look for a flame on the ground in a bunch of flames. The set bonus is bad.

    ...
    I've seen at least twice already blizzard saying none of the bosses or mobs in firelands will be immune or have any kind of resist.

    Lots of QQ. How completely unexpected.

    I'm not very happy with Resto Shaman's 4 set, but the 2 set is so good I'm going to overlook it. It might even get nerfed...(I hope not). The rest of the healing 2 set bonuses are just ok, but I don't see anything wrong with any of the healing 4 sets. People just like to hear themselves complain.

    ....FINALLY, jesus, that had to take 6 years to add to the game?

    unholy dks got shafted big time with the t12 set bonuses. I guess the 2 piece is alright since unholy already seems to starve on RP. but it favors frost a lot more.

    You consider 6% crit damage increase and a CONSTANT 25% statbonus to a random combat rating useless? You realise the 4 set lasts 30 seconds and tricks has 30 seconds cd, do you?

    Clueless player is clueless. go reroll another class, i don't want you among rogues.

    Just to give a comparison, this set bonus is as powerful as 4t6 or 4t8, which were the best bonuses hands down for rogue. If they stay like this, we can already say that is could be worth to keep the bonus over 391 pieces. It scales so well that if t13 bonuses are not good enough, we can keep it.

    any one else see disc (maybe holy as well) running 2 peace heal 2 peace shadow?

    i mean yay a lightwell for disc that most wont use or see.

    i think holy might use it where people are used to seeing lightwells with them.

    ontop of that how to we place or control where the cauterizing flame will spawn >.<

    i realy think i will be running 2 peace shadow on my priest when disc =S after i get 2 peace heal

    A damage increase to crit. It will turn our useless crit into a more viable stat.

    Also, i found the procs on wowhead and they are only for hast, crit, mastery. The best situation possible
    Umm, it's the ONLY situation possible. It would be pointless to add hit or expertise and there aren't any other sub stats.

    I suggest you reroll if you don't see how these are beneficial to a rogue.

    Paladin Fire damage? Cute gimmick blizz, but seriously that is whack.
  1. Zatoro's Avatar
    The additional fire damage won't be resisted by the bosses, otherwise there would be a bunch of specs that would be nerfed right off the bat. You are getting extra fire damage because it will fit the theme. You walk in, punch an elemental in the face, fashion a suit of armor from the carcass, and use its power to light other shit on fire.

    Cmon blizz look at the Tier 12 bonus for warlocks and think about this really hard.
    I mean it's already like those in the game( The imp from 'Bane of Doom' and the SB/Incinerate is the 'Shadow and Flame' talant in the destro spec!!!!)
