Thread: PTR 3.0.8 - Build 9464

Update - Almost forgot to mention that the Talent Calculator is now updated with the latest build from the Patch 3.0.8 PTRs. Glyphs will be updated shortly as well.

PTR 3.0.8 - Build 9464
The test realms have been updated to a new build. It doesn't look like there is a lot of changes here but some of them are really interesting.

New installer and launcher interfaces
The patch installer and launcher have been updated with a new interface.

Undocumented Changes
Undocumented changes are merely comparison of tooltips between the new version and the previous one. Changes made to spells aren't always reflected in tooltips and vice versa. Keep in mind that it's a test server and things might changes before it hits the live servers.

(Note double of :P) I quite like that change for rogues as well.

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted lol.

But I guess that it kinda sucks for Warlocks in PvP.

Celestial Focus doesn't affect Starfall anymore.

This change better not go through... cause that stun is like the only useful part of the spell

G f_'in G.

Give balance druids a stun or slightly longer cyclone or shorter cast time or some form of iceblock/CoS/bubble/BoP/demonform/Dispersion. Were not top to the arena's or likely to be. Are they implementing this because of PvE or PvP ?

Take a wild guess, seeing how many raid bosses are stunnable.

as a rogue i hate to see the ambush nerf.... i hope ppl finally stop whining cz this really ia A HUGE NERF on our burst...happy now?? stop qq

Hmmm.. is this buffed up because of the new 30sec CD?
Don't think it helps much in pvp, if at all... CD should be 24 sec as the minimal trap CD. But I gues it's "ok" for PVE, if L&L is actually good enough with a 30 sec CD to make explosiv shot sweet enough as a favour over MM spec.
But it don't look that way.

yeah buffing rogues for pvp surely get us buffed for pve. seriously blizz fire your class designers!

Lethality works with Ambush on Live. But this new PTR patch will make Ambush crits do 30% less damage.

So rogues really are getting nerfed there.

No, -15% damage on Ambush crits.

"Increases the critical strike damage bonus of all combo moves by 30%."

eg. non-crit 1000 -> crit 1000 + (1000*1.3) = 2300 = +15%.

OMG i love u blizzard thank you for making scrap bots repair bots now. No more running around Stupid outland looking for Khorium ore.
