Paladin (Forums, Talent Calculator)
Retribution
  • Sword of Light Increases the damage you deal with two-handed melee weapons by 30%. Your spell power is now equal to 50% of your attack power, and you no longer benefit from other sources of spell power. Grants 6% of your maximum mana every 2 sec. Increases the healing done by Word of Glory by 30% 60% and Flash of Light by 100%. Paladin - Retribution Spec.

Rogue (Forums, Talent Calculator)
Talents
  • Burst of Speed - On live, you can't use BoS to clear snares if Sprint is active. We're fixing that but ensuring the speed boosts don't stack. The ability to clear snares while Sprint was active was broken about one month ago in a hotfix. (Source)

I would really really love the idea of a horse drawn cart mount that holds 4 people or something or maybe a different type of animal altogether isntead of reskinned horse or reskinned dragon or reskinned protodrake over and over again.
    I like the new mounts but I agree. Still want Fiona's caravan...

    Oh thanks for making that achievement account wide as it should have been in the 1st place..... about 7 months late and about 3 months after I already finished it.

    I'm hoping the Horse mount is the store mount! Would fork over $25 easy for that thing, looks insane! (atleast to me)

    *sees Chaud's post*

    I WANT IT EVEN MOAR!!
    Chaud btw are you from Guam by any chance? you're name is funneh

    Have to admit, I am disappointed. When that insect mount was posted on Twitter I was happy they were showing us a little more of WoD models. Didn't think they'd post cash shop models through Twitter.

    That it's for patch 5.4.8 instead of 6.0 now, and that it only exists in one color, certainly makes it overly likely another store mount.

    That just saddens me. There's plenty of great mounts up there already, denied to people without money to throw around, unable to earn them in the game.

    (Unless it's a mount for the 250 mounts achievement. Then I'll love you and take it all back, Blizzard!)

    God, what happened to this forum.

    We are repeatedly told they have no time for anything but WoD. no matter how long this stuff takes, it comes off as very bad form.

    Hey everyone, we know WoD aint coming out for a while, but here's a mount for 25 bucks
    We are repeatedly told that they have different teams for different tasks.

    We are repeatedly told that adding more people to a team will actually hurt development time rather than expedite it.

    We are repeatedly told, yet people repeatedly do not listen.

    I came here expecting to read page upon page of outrage, and rogue tears....

    And then I was reminded that almost no one actually plays Rogue anymore...

    BoS might be a terrible bandaid on the rogue class, but it was also just about the single most new/mechanically interesting thing rogues have gotten in years.

    In Cata beta people were really hoping the Worgen mount would be a horse and carriage, but we got them getting on all fours and running which still looks stupid to me.

    The BoS change smells like a datamining error. If they reduced the run speed increase to something like +60% it would seem believable, but 1%? Nah.

    I get the feeling if they are making a change to BoS it's not a reduction to 1 percent, but a complete removal of the run speed increase.

    probably not. The horse is probably raf or sor. But with the release of nax, it looks like it may belong there. As for the ravager, its possible, but with no datamined achievement, Ive lost hope. Ill hit 300 before we get a 250 reward

    No one will take the talent in that case. Maybe if it broke roots instead of just snares, but the datamined info still talks about "movement slowing effects."

    I'm all for creative liberty, but seriously, what the hell is the wings on that mount? Wings are used to fly, and I really don't see the placement and size of the wings on that thing being used for any such task. If they took the wings off, I'd like it a whole lot more.
