Spell Changes
Spell changes are here and as usual keep in mind that:

  • This is a beta, everything can change.
  • Those changes are not official, they're the result of datamining.
  • It's the beginning of the beta and shit is changing so fast that it's a miracle that everything doesn't explode in our face. A few things look weird, we'll try to figure them out over the next few hours to make sure we didn't do anything stupid!

    Hey Blizzard, Destruction Warlocks would like to have a word with you... O' you hadn't noticed? Destruction is currently unplayable due to lack of proper mana regeneration... *Meh* it's probably fixed and just not data-mined like the change was last time. But, I slightly worry it won't be fixed >_< as they haven't hotfixed it anytime within the 7 days it has been present... We're like the TBC Oomkin...

    I've been saying this so much in beta I stopped saying it. To many people got into beta who think its the live game.

    Just a notice but RAF mount means a new Recruit a Friend mount will be implemented in MoP. So if you want to get your mounts from RAF now you better get going!

    Flying panther mount looks silly, wings dont match. The panther has a leathery look to it yet the wings on it are feathers, doesnt mix however i like that theres a mount which is the combination of 5 others, looks pretty interesting

    I'm pretty sure blizzzard does not hotfix things on the Beta unless it is so bad that it makes the game nearly unplayable for everyone.

    Also.. the beta version currently being tested by us is a couple of builds behind what Blizzard devs are working on. Maybe they have already fixed it.

    not even, as of now for me as destro in beta it takes 5 casts and I am OOM and waiting for mana, chaotic fire doesn't do crap and soulfire costs like 40k mana. It's all hella messed up and they haven't even mentioned anything about it...

    /sigh

    Check the video again, this time look at the beginning, notice how it waves it head to the left / right, theres a dragon that also does that (Dont have time to find it right now), that dragon has wings attached on its shoulders, which means that it hovers/flies with the head / neck sorta pointing up while the body is hanging down below the wings.

    What they did with the panther was just copy paste the dragon behavior unto the panther skin and then add wings where the dragon had wings, which makes the flying animation look fucked, since 80% of its weight is on its ass / below the wings, yet it somehow still manages to keep its entire body level = Doesnt make any sense at all.

    Yes, I know it's beta but I was REALLY hoping for some bug fixes so that Destruction Warlock was actually playable other than casting a spell every 20 seconds and watching your demon do all the work.

    The rogue changes look amazing i can't wait,but that panther mount looks pathetic and it goes to show that the developers working on this expansion are either running out of ideas or just suck at designing imo.

    like already said the only thing on beta for make a hot fix is some major issue that make the game unplayable for EVERYONE.

    it s true that destu demo is broken for now but it s only 3 week that the beta is open, and they have a lot of bug everywhere at this time they try more to nerf thing that are obviously to strong (demo who tank better than tank, Bof with is insane burst and other thing like that.
