[caervek]

Gladiator Stance
Warrior - Arms, Fury, Protection Spec
Requires Warrior (Arms, Fury, Protection)

Does that mean/imply we're going back to having three stances all specs can use? and more importantly gladiators will have a pick of L100 talents?

Siegebreaker Off-Hand (Arms, Protection) Use your full strength to slam the target with your weapon, dealing (300% 450% of weapon damage) damage, and knocking them back and down for 1 sec.

Looks like prot is getting Siegebreaker as a replacement and Gladiator stance might be becoming a general stance?

[Cyclonus-WOW]

I'm not sure. We had a patch note earlier on PTR that said something about Protection in the Whirlwind tooltip. Not sure that's something to be trusted.

[Chickat]

Dont trust datamining changes when they sound weird like that. Wait for confirmation.

I wouldn't count on it. There are some other weird things like Holy Paladins having a version of Emp. Seals which is a prot/ret talent only. Or Hurricane Strikes for non-Windwalker monks.

[Civfanata]

Woot for more Raid practice on PTR!!!

I don't get it, BRF is 6.0 but they want us to test 6.1 changes?

Also, seems like random testing bosses before next week. Were these bosses specifically not tested during beta, or just need more tuning?

There is really no way anyone could argue that BRF is still 6.0 at this point. It wasn't available for 6.0 and it's scheduled for testing on the 6.1 PTR. It's 6.1.

Hoping for Nelf Female fixes in this Build.

As in, the blue lipstick on 50% of the skin colors.

I just pretty-fied the spell changes section so it is readable.

For the Gladiator Stance change, I'm pretty sure that's just a bug fix of some kind.
For the other spells that have changes for specs that can't have that spell - that's on Blizzard. They generally make the talent have a version for every spec, even if the spec can't use it. When Blizzard changes the numbers/functionality for one spec, they generally change it for every spec at the same time. Hence, you can end up with changes for spell/spec combinations that don't exist in-game. For example, Siegebreaker may list Arms, Fury, and Protection tooltips, but it still requires Arms or Fury only.

Because I'm nice, here is a list of character files with modified MD5s, as compared against the previous build: http://www.curseforge.com/paste/11450/

In short, there were changes to:

• Blood Elf Female: model, skins, and most animations
• Blood Elf Male: model, skins, and most animations
• Dwarf Female: model
• Gnome Female: model, skins, and facial variants' bone structures
• Gnome Male: model, skins, and lower facial hair textures
• Human Male: model, skins, most animations, and facial variants' bone structures
• Night Elf Male: model, skins, most animations, and facial variants' bone structures
• Pandaren Female: model
• Tauren Male: model and skins

No Night Elf Female changes, sorry.

[Teebone]

Monk changes puzzle me. Are they trying to improve versatility?

At this point, it seems really unlikely BRF will beat 6.1 and could actually come after it. I am not saying that is a bad thing because I think there is still a lot of progression left for BM. I think they are being smart about it, one of the reasons SOO lasted so long is because the rushed some of those early raids and could easily have spread them out a month more.

Panda female? What the eff?

[sunborn]

Nice to see they are adressing the holy paladin issues in pvp. oh wait.. Better buff other classes instead!

Wow a patch but still no viable Holy buff for PvP...

[Villager720]

Panda female? What the eff?

Increased butt size to counter Blood Elf.

Maybe they finally gave her some of the facial rigging love that the WOD models got... since all her faces are the same except for fur markings...

Ah, I can dream.

Resto shaman need the most pvp love. Least Pallies are represented in top teams

BRF is releasing next fucking wednesday. Unless they drop 6.1 on the same day, it will be before.

And no, they're not going to fucking delay BRF. They'd be the laughing stock of every raiding guild if they did. We're WAITING for this.

[Goron24]

Wow dem DK buffs.. please can ya not.

[Pilfer]

Those 660 / 675 mission rewards...are just...so bad....

I hate you now. I spent so much time trying to scour every line to find mission rewards. I do not see any.

Either you trolled me or dementia is setting in. Either way I blame you.
