PTR 4.0.6 Patch Notes - January 24 Update

[Simca]

How does nerfing healing spells make ret better?

Don't mind him, he does this on every news post. It's his own way of venting I think.

Anyway, I don't really mind the Holy nerfs. Our healing was too powerful anyway, so a way to limit that is to increase mana costs, of course.

Fine with me.

[Nerraw]

Devour.

[milkinteets]

And also, more salt in the wounds of feral druids. Probably Blizzards way of saying "if you want to pvp, play a caster".

I liked that aspect.
I think it helped when groups wiped.
We knew where the dungeons were.

So GC is playing in 3v3 arena team, whose much hated opponent team, which is always bashing them hard to the ground, is composed by a Lock, a Feral Druid and a Holy Pala....

Please opponent team stop bashing poor GC or the whole PVE will be screwed.
Please GC stop PVP.

Why do moonkin need any damage reduction? They arn't tanks, they arn't even melee avoiding cleaves. Never made sense to me...

[Indecent]

Balance

* Moonkin Form now grants 15% damage reduction instead of increased armor. In addition, shapeshifting in or out of this form now breaks roots. Note this is not stated in the tooltip.


So just to make sure I get this straight .. You're going to allow a class that can do massive damage with ranged spells to break roots, but not a melee class that needs to be up on their target?

Where's the logic?

[Liesarra]

now i have some fucking expensive heals -.-

[Static]

"Elemental
Elemental Overload (Mastery) procs of Lightning Bolt or Chain Lightning can now generate Rolling Thunder charges."

Interesting..

Does that makes our Mastery slightly more powerful than Haste? Any thoughts about this?

Thanks.

[Zagnaphein]

Meh Nothing intresting..

"Aura Mastery: This ability no longer increases the benefit granted by Crusader Aura."

My rage burns!

[MysticalOS]

somehow i get the feeling those dungeon changes are an attempt at insentive forgroups not to skip optional bosses as those are the dungeons specificly targeted. Its not going to work though. Many only queue for VP and could care less about JP and increasing them won't solve that. If blizz wants people to do optionals, they need to make them not optional.

... so i'll lose my girlfiend on the next racing duel

If you think GC balances the game to make his experience better... LOL at you.

The PTR changes are only for normal mode, so this post is irrelevant.

There's nothing wrong with nerfing Paladins.. They were obviously the best healer in the game right now... There's no reason to buff every other class just to be where Paladins are.
