    I wouldn't say the same as 'now' (meaning live). Tank AM *gameplay* is awesome, but its *effectiveness* is too strong on live. (Celestalon)
    And yes, those things are quite connected. We just want to skew toward tanks needing more external healing than they do today. (Celestalon)

    Hunter (Forums / Skills / WoD Talent Calculator)
    Shame about no Dread Raven, because those are the coolest birds I've seen in WoW. At least we know Chimeras maybe? How come maybe?
    Lots of new stuff in Draenor (ravager, bat, boar, etc.), some things might warrant a cool quest/drop (like dinomancy/rhok'delar) (Muffinus)

    Since you're talking about hunter pets a bit, PLEASE tell me we can tame talbuks! You'll make my day! Week even!
    Not at the moment, open to the idea but it's a snowball of ungulates. Ungulate is an awful name for a family too. (Muffinus)

    Will MM Hunters be losing Master Marksman? If not, how will it interact with Focusing Shot?
    No, Master Marksman stays, and does interact with Focusing Shot. (Celestalon)

    Monk (Forums / Skills / WoD Talent Calculator)
    Second: Why not allow Surging Mist to generate 1 Chi for Windwalker? Serious question. I understand why not for Brewmaster.
    It's definitely less clear for WW than BM, as you say. It's something we're considering, but not sure. Generating 1 may be OK, ... (Celestalon)
    ...because that's still a significant loss compared to the 2 chi from Jab. We're still evaluating that. (Celestalon)

    Finally: Will Fists of Fury's AP snapshotting stay? It doesn't snapshot TeB, which makes it weird, so that's why I'm asking.
    Don't think so; I think it's going to be totally dynamic. (Celestalon)

    Why do Healing Spheres still exist as an object? Mobility is being tuned down in WoD making picking them up even more punitive.
    You still get the healing even if they're not picked up, making them not punitive. (Celestalon)

    Paladin (Forums / Skills / WoD Talent Calculator)
    Holy Shield Update? When i saw it in vanilla, as a d2 fan i was so happy! Can't wait for its glorious (and useful) return!
    We actually were running the numbers and found that at 10%, it's not really that far off of our targets. (Celestalon)
    So then is gladiator stance over tuned? 10% block=3% phys damage reduction. How does that compare vs 5% total damage reduction?
    10% block is >3% damage reduction. (Not that we necessarily balance Pally talents vs Warrior talents, but these should be similar.) (Celestalon)

    Character / Items
    will 4/4 upgraded legendary cloaks proc more often?
    Nope. Lots of stats though. (WatcherDev)

    why was the choice made to display tooltips for CDR trinks as 'cooldown recovery rate'? very unintuitive for the players.
    We actually show both forms of it in 6.0, for that reason. (Celestalon)

    why not have multi gear equip slots for multi specs(resto/dps/tank) that is going to save a lot of bag space?
    We're making changes to make most gear sharable between specs, including cross-primarystat. Check out the patch notes. (Celestalon)
    I'm not sure if this was shared anywhere, but is it intended that tier gear still remains unique and spec specific?
    No, tier gear is shared across specs too. (Celestalon)

    Since valor is being removed. How is the system going to adjust so very unlucky people get gear? coins don't help very unlucky
    Just because there's no "valor" doesn't mean there won't be alternate sources of gear, including vendors. (WatcherDev)

    Achievements
    So much for Bigger Bag not being able to be account wide eh?No seriously. THANK YOU.
    There were technical hurdles, but they were worth clearing to solve a major point of frustration for players. (WatcherDev)

    Warlords of Draenor Stats
    Will the MS stat work on bleeds the same way it works on dot ticks/ignite ticks, double the tick but not the whole dot debuff?
    Yes. (Celestalon)

    Rated Battleground Flag Carrier Hotfixes
    Originally Posted by Blizzard (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
    We’ve recently identified an issue that was causing the Rated Battleground flag carrier debuff to function incorrectly. Under normal circumstances, non-tank flag carriers in Warsong Gulch and Twin Peaks should take 20% additional damage, and tank-specced flag carriers should take 50% additional damage. Currently, that debuff is only increasing damage to tank-specced players by 20%. We’re in the process of applying a hotfix that will, once again, cause tank-specced players to take 50% increased damage when carrying the flag. This hotfix will be applied as soon as possible, and will not require realm restarts to activate.

    In addition, we’re working on expanding that functionality to orb carriers in Rated Temple of Kotmogu, and cart carriers in Rated Deepwind Gorge. In Temple of Kotmogu, we’ll be increasing the extra damage taken while carrying the orb to 50% if the player has chosen a tank specialization. In Deepwind Gorge, we’ll be applying the same debuff used in Warsong Gulch and Twin Peaks. Cart carriers who have chosen a DPS or healing specialization will take 20% increased damage, while cart carriers who have chosen a tank specialization will take 50% increased damage. These changes will not be applied until next week’s realm maintenance.

    These mechanics and changes are exclusive to Rated Battlegrounds. They will not be applied to non-Rated BGs.

    One addition: why not EOTS? We can still hold flags there with no debuff.
    We don't think the same debuff is the best solution for Eye of the Storm, but we are considering some other potential options. We agree that turtling with the flag doesn't result in the best gameplay.

    Those weapons looks sick

    Hell, weapons really looks good and rogue - warrior set is perfect.

    The challenge mode rifle makes me want to level my hunter, that and the wasp pet, I feel a mighty need..

    wtf... I would rather armor sets than those from CMs

    Amazing weapons. The Mythic tier sets look even more amazing except the Rogue's.

  11. #11
    That armor looks the same as MoP and Cata brown crap. At this point they don't even need to hire more artists. It is just poor taste.

  12. #12
    Hmm well at first I was a bit miffed we won't get full armour sets from CMs this time around.

    Then I saw the animations. Holy shit is there a lot of fire on that axe.

    On the plus side, no need to abandon my MoP mogs for WoD ones.

    The weapons are cool except for that swords animation. Wtf is up with that piece flying in from nowhere? o.O It would be cool if the piece would circle around the character when it's not attached and then fly in and attach itself to the sword but that's probably to cool to be true anyway really gonna be looking forward to be doing CMs in WoD!

  15. #15
    A comparison for a class between LFR -> Normal/Heroic -> Mythic armorsets would be nice

  16. #16
    That staff. I need it.

  17. #17
    Well the weapon designs are hideous but the animations are amazing.

    I suppose they could still add armor sets but it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't. Since they are retiring the MoP sets, any new CM sets would have to be the most impressive armor ever implemented to overcome the "no longer available" factor.

  18. #18
    Caster staff, 5g say's there are like only two staffs in all of WoD that would even let us mog it cause you know as a mage we can't use weapons that look like others.

    Outrageous as those weapons are, my desire for all of them is intense...

    Also a $250,000 hearthstone tourney? Sounds awesome!
