Patch 3.1.3 Live, MLG Colombus, Blue posts

[zorroo]

Fking chinese...always get the cool pets

Why did u use "always"?

[Wymorence]

While the Bloodthirst change makes me all happy, it's not going to make a heavy difference like I think they believe it will. I still cringe when I think of them changing Heroic Strike much though, as if they're not going to increase the cost (which would shaft tanks pretty heavily) or anything, there's considerable fear in my brain that they'll do something that ends up giving Fury the short end of the stick...

gief moar pets QQ i have 90 atm and will have 96 with the hord tournament pets + Back tabby
and then im not counting higher learning, middsummer pets x2, 3x crocks from SW

[stupid11]

Nerf DKs, Buff Warrior Aoe (reduce shockwave CD), Give Paladins another cooldown, druids seem reasonable to me atm.

Fuck that, prot warriors already stunlock me longer than a rogue in BG's. Annoying as hell.

[tetsuma4l]

Juggernaut: This talent now also increases the cooldown on Charge by 5 seconds.

Fucking faggots.

[AetherMcLoud]

Fucking faggots.

The nerdrage is strong in this one.

[nemesisevil]

Perhaps they could give Heroic Strike a short CD and give it more bonus damage, seems a lot better than messing with Rage.

Glyph that removes stun, but decreases c/d of shockwave by a large amount would be a good solution then.

Historically there were no collector's editions for vanilla or BC in China. The panda is most likely the "special compensation" NetEase talked about previously for the planned downtime of 3 weeks during the transition of operations from The9 to NetEase.

[HolgerDK]

is the jewel crafting change tomorrow?

No, thats not until 3.2ish.

[anyaka21]

Interesting to remove the prot-drakes so soon. That will indeed remain a very rare pet then....

3.2, so it's still a hella long ways away. No real different than Naxx and Heroic Naxx full boar achieves

[domaz]

Can someone put a small note somewhere saying what timezone the times listed are for the tournament?

Must be EDT... have converted it to CEST:

"This is mostly a class balancing patch with a few changes to Ulduar. "

And nothing to shamans? HAHAHAHAHHA

[anyaka21]

I really wish they would work a bit faster on finding a solution to the instance limit.

I agree. Even with what GC said (or whichever one said it), I'm not real sure a solution was in the works. I do believe they put a cap on it before knowing, however, if they were actively seeking a fix, I doubt this ever would have become the issue it has become.

Now however, it most definitely is an issue. Sometimes taking as long as an hour for a raid to get into an instance. That's unexceptable. Blizz knows this, and I'm sure they're working hardcore on it atm. But I wish they would have done figured out something before this.

2ndarily, players aren't really helping the cause either. I was on in varying degrees of consistentcy throughout the day. A naxx10 instance was taken up by 2 people for over 8 hours. Same 2 people, druid and hunter. I can't believe that not only were they in there and online that long, but actively participating in killing stuff. Thus taking up the space another group or raid could be using.

Healers performing offspecs, well...

A priest can easily switch to shadow.
A paladin healer will need a full different gear set to perform his offspec role.
A druid can easily switch to moonkin, but feral requires different gear.
A shaman can easily switch to elemental, but enhancement requires different gear.

Tauren Catform model inc?

Try getting someone to swap horde/alliance pets with and you should be able to get to 101 .

[furydeath]

Yet another patch with GREAT mage changes. ;D

Priests need different gear for shadow and healing.
Druids need different gear for moonkin and resto.

DPS needs hit, Healing needs manareg. Both are exclusive usually.

Good job on warlock nerf 49398

Now chaosbolt is just the same as incinerate only with a different color BUT with a cooldown. Nothing to spend 51 talents in. How will we even be able to kill a priest now? ( melee are already almost impossible to kill)

warlocks are already the weakest pvp class in both 1vs1 and arena (2vs2 and 3vs3)
