Mage nerf!! glad I prefer arcane.

[Alskonda]

Lol, wand machine gun.

[Xellent]

Finally some mage nerfing.

[Mintaw]

Not seeing why firemages needed a nerf :/ Oh well Have fun mages, forced to arcane

[Deleted]

Heh that wand, wtf is Blizz doing?

[Deleted]

The wand change maybe is something for MoP? Since monks are not getting any auto attacks then maybe they add a similar mechanic to wand classes.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[Stevoman]

Did Morchok really need a nerf?...

Mage nerf!! glad I prefer arcane.

They were long overdue.

They were long overdue.

It's not nerfed, they're wording changes.

[jsz]

I'm not wrapping my head about the 25H Morchok change properly. Wasn't it originally the tank and the closest person to the tank that took double damage from stomp? And then they changed it to how it was supposed to work. And now it's been reverted?

There will be no ranged period in MoP so prolly a bug.

Morchock change is not a change. It is just a tooltip update, the spell works like exactly that (it targets the tank and the closest to the tank, not the 2 closest to boss)

[Koji2k11]

Aspect of the Hawk now increases ranged Attack Power by 2700, up from 2000. wow 700 ap what a nice buff !

[Spellweaver]

There will be no ranged period in MoP so prolly a bug.

While there won't be a ranged slot in MoP, they're still planning to turn wands into MH weapons (similar to swords etc.)

[Viceversa]

It's to fix the wand dps exploit

[Redwyrm]

Woot, insta-cast wands

Now with faster pewpews

[Cirque]

Curious how mages get the nerfbat, but rogues remain untouched.

[Hyacine]

Dat wand O_oa

[kif]

I like the change to fireball huh, 1.5s cast, and Pyroblast has a 5 second cast, datamining ftl.
