Patch 3.0.8 PTR Notes

[BuNNyRespawned]

Must... get... the... mount...

[bbr]

100 mounts, egads.. thats a lot.

I wonder what speed the dragonhawk is though... if it's 280%. then who cares.
310% will be nice though.

Wonder what the salt lick does...

This is lame : Not in My House has been changed from 10 to 2 Flags.
It's not like it's that hard to get 10 kills. 2 Just makes it worthless.

FINALLY!
DoTs tagging mobs instantly, woohoo !! xD

Hope hunter's mark and faery fire will do the same then.

i dont know if your trolling or what but where in that post does it say about warriors? i think you find its druids and DK's who are being hit.

you fail.

see its a stealth nerf! paladins and warriors also receive 10% extra armour from items but this is being nerfed

Been like that in weeks, it was hotfixed.

I think the changes made are very godd (small steps at a time) to see how it balances.... one think i want to comment on is the rogue changes ...... FAN OF KNIVES is not as merely enough for aoe..even with the CD change it will get the rogue out of energy if spammed and then no combos no finishing moves no cycle...thats my hamble opinion.....a reccomendation i could do is ( i dont know if the hits proc poisons i have on my weapons) but i think if it doesnt it woud be great to have a chance like a normal hit to proc poisons on target...... say i got WOUND poison for exapmle with 50% chance to proc and 6 mobs ....i get the dmg and 1 proc average from each weapon hit ill have 6 WOUND poison procs.....that would help balancing the DMG difference between mages or locks and its not overpowered....thank u any corrections are welcome

It already does proc poisons...

Probably a little horse pet.

[pasco]

It seems that they have added points for some statistics like you can see @ wirebrain.

Name Description Points
Cooking daily quests completed Cooking daily quests completed 10

So every quest gives 10 points?

I really hope they don't count for the achievement points -.-

[aikouka]

Hope hunter's mark and faery fire will do the same then.

Hunter's Mark: no.
Faerie Fire: yes.

Hunter's Mark doesn't cause the mob to aggro onto you, so therefore, it won't tag it.

No, those points were not added :-) They are in that particular database field, but neither points (nor descriptions, apparently) are used in-game for any of the statistics. In essence they are dead database fields, probably copy&pasted. They did not change from the last release either (otherwise they'd be colored green or red on that page)

[hobojohnn]

lol @ warlock changes. oh i hate conflagrate so much.

[Fujiama]

OK CoH need some nerf but not HUGE! Why nerfing priest and druid??? who is first in healing in 25man raid? Holy palat. Who have 150% over healing in same raid palat? Who need nerf??????

This is in more then 70% guild.

Uhm, no. In our guild we have 2 priest healers and a paladin healer and rest is druids/shamans. They all have somewhat the same gear, same stats. Anyhow, on top are the 2 priests, then comes paladin, then druid etc.

OT: Many cool changes, like that new mount

[BuNNyRespawned]

Black Dragonhawk?

I need that thing, I hope it won't be some insane achievement >_>

[Exhorder]

The post is unfinished or they dropped the most ridiculous hunter nerfs? I'd prefer the latter.

[Draco cracona]

Ah, so pallies get to go even longer without single target taunt or a baseline ranged pull (or even a non-glyphed single target pull), blizz making promises and not delivering again? What a surprise. Wonder when/if we'll actually get that ranged taunt with negligible damage for pulling that ghostcrawler mentioned would be in the next (pre-ulduar) patch?

[Ardissius]

so lava lash is not usable with shields or maces now? bummer, i still have a mace offhand
(ofc i'm kidding, someone left out maces from the notes.)

Right, because it never takes BB time to update his post. /fail

[Rilgon]

Going off the values at WoWWiki on item level, I ran it against the Savage Cobalt Slicer.

Unless I just can't use Calculator right, the SCS was either an ilvl 283 blue or an ilvl 214 epic.

That explains that nerf.

The steady shot nerf is the ridiculous nerf, they either don't intend to put them on the patch notes will add it in later as the PTR goes on. For example, CotW is most certainly getting nerfed no doubt about it.

On another subject, it'll be nice to not feel like anything less than pulling patchwerks entire room at once was a waste of time.

[Enthorn]

Boubouille, you have the Horde/Alliance Loremaster quests switched around. Alliance is being reduced from 730 to 700, and Horde is being reduced from 700 to 685. You have it stated the other way around:

"Loremaster of Kalimdor has been changed from 730 to 700 quests for the Horde, from 700 to 685 quests for the Alliance."

You need to read past the "Healing Done", "HoT Uptime" and "Overhealing" meters on Recount by clicking on the names of your raid members. If you do so, you should see (unless your Paladins absolutely suck) that Paladins are leading in effective heals (particularly on tanks).
