Battle and Berserker Stance now have passive 20% threat reduction. yum.

You ever considered it's intended for these gems to be 'Prismatic', thus making them even better then normal gems because you aren't bound to socket colours while utilizing your profession only gems ?

:

That would be overly powerful IF 2 blue gems are required for your Meta requirements.

another arena quest, another dagger..
blizzard, give us swords!

And the other profession only stuff isn't good or something ?

"Amphitheater of Anguish

Rewards - Wodin's Second-Best Shanker, Chilly Slobberknocker, Crimson Cranium Crusher, Screw-Sprung Fixer-Upper, De-Raged Waraxe, Icier Barbed Spear"


Ok this is probably a silly question but which one of the above is the feral druid weapon - do we just go for the rogue dagger and pray for a non-caster off hand... or have i missed something. I havent found a single example of a feral weapon yet...are they dtill to be implemented or should i stop looking for 2Hers with Feral AP and Str/Stam?? are they going to let druids duel wield, surely not. Im confused so please dont flame me

cheers to my hunter ;D

There is no ranged weapon for hunters either, so I guess you have to take a healing/moonkin weap, and the hunters take a 2-hander.

"We'll be making Master's Call and Deterrence both base. "

OMG! Some Hunter pvp loving, very needed and nice change indeed

[professional]

You need more xp to lvl now

2.200.000 to lvl 61

[bbr]

Now, those epic weapons look a LOT more realistic!

And, hmm, the jewelcrafting gems have 27 stats each.
That's +7 more per gem.
7.14.21.28.35
ap, agi, hit, crit, expertise, armor pen.

Still not quite worth taking it over enchanting or something else.
It'd have to be 40+ for 5 gems for my rogue to want that profession.
And crit isn't optimal.

They are probably getting more than just the gems though.

[Clay]

Rhonin and Vereesa! That is so awsome!

oh my, avoidance and anti-snare for all. I also look foward to seeing there replacements although i get the feeling Counter Attack will move into Deterrences place

It'd have to be 40 for 3-4 gems for my rogue to want that profession.

hopefully some real sweet starting/mid/end-game rings and necklaces (but please no more on-use with loads...)

and for hunter: even if counter-attack moves down the tree, still looking forward to seeing what will take its place (hopefully something useful for raiding finally)

Okay, I think I might digress from the topics a bit but have you noticed how those "head honchos" from Dalaran and their armor. I mean, look at their armors...and speculating it from my point of view but they look like tier sets. It's really interesting though that throughout each maintenance we have yet any confirmations of our Tier 7 gear and what they would look like. (Thank you Boub for the everyday update on LK.) Anyways that's my two cents.

[Jukaï]

Rhonin and Vereesa! That is so awsome!

Currently, when you select them, they have no sound either. My guess is that they will have specific voice acting.

[Desimal]

If they remove downranking it will really mess up for mages and paladins. Frostbolt rank 1 is a vital part of the frostmage pvp. As for paladins nothing is better to spam then Flash of Light rank 2 when you are oom. And for you that have played a paladin, once you are oom you are oom. So this is a life saver.

I choked when seeing the Titansteel Guardian. I wouldn't get my hopes too high though, 490 spellpower seems massively overpewered for the required mats. Either it's a bug or the recipe is going to drop from T9 instance or something.

Desimal : Paladin get an evocation.

[Rusiak]

I'm confused...how is Master's Spellthread different from Sapphire Spellthread and Sanctified Spellthread different from Brilliant Spellthread?

Master's Spellthread cost:
Eternal Life (2), Eternium Thread

Sanctified Spellthread cost:
Eternal Water (2), Eternium Thread

Both are self only enchants, requires Tailoring (400) to learn and learnable from trainer.

[bbr]

Actually. Jewelcrafting is pretty amazing now that i think about it.

+7 more stats per gem = 7x7 = 49 stats.
ap, agi, hit, crit, haste, expertise & armor pen would be used for a rogue.

The dragons eyes are tri-color! You no longer need to use purple gems to get your meta gem activated! That's 2x 10 stats extra that you clear up.

69 stats total. A lot better than enchanting currently, and it more than offsets the lower effectiveness of the crit rating stat.
