Thank you for your patience.

Patch 9.2 PTR - Monk Set Bonus Changes

Greetings, monastic adherents. As you test the set bonuses on PTR, some notes and known issues:

  • Mistweaver 4pc has a known issue which causes it to break Soothing Mist after drinking Thunder Focus Tea. This issue will be resolved in a future build.
  • Brewmaster 4pc will be redesigned in a future build. We’ve heard your feedback that you’d prefer a more focused bonus and will be acting on that desire.

Patch 9.2 PTR - Shadow Priest Set Bonus Changes

Greetings priests,

The Shadow bonuses, specifically the 2-piece bonus, are going to undergo some changes based off the feedback provided. To start, the 2-piece bonus will move its focus to Devouring Plague. As the only spender in the Shadow Priest rotation, and with the abundance of Insanity in the Shadow kit, it seems like a good hook to pivot to. The 4-piece will remain largely unchanged, however, Your Shadow will swap their current single target channel for one that favors AoE situations as well. Thank you for the feedback and we’re eager to hear your thoughts on the next iteration.

Patch 9.2 PTR - Restoration Druid Set Bonus Changes

Both the 2-piece and 4-piece bonuses for Restoration will be changed for a future build. Thank you for your feedback and we’ll continue to watch the ongoing conversations!

Patch 9.2 PTR - Paladin Set Bonus Changes
Originally Posted by Blizzard (Blue Tracker)
Hello Paladins,

We’re looking into reports of the Protection Paladin 4 piece bonus not properly casting Judgment when it should be. The intent of this bonus is that it does cast a real Judgment when it triggers - debuff, Holy Power, and damage. Also worth noting, in a coming build, its internal cooldown will be increased from .1 seconds up to 1 second. This will help keep the bonus’s power from scaling out of control when tanking large numbers of enemies at once, while still rewarding the intuitive behavior of “trying to block as many things as you can.”

With regards to the Retribution 2 piece, it is a bug that the set’s Seraphim overwrites an active Seraphim. The intent is that it will extend one, so the value of the 2 piece is consistent whether you are running Seraphim or not.

    • Shadow
      • Fixed an issue where two Rattling Mages summoned from Pallid Command (Runecarving Power) could spawn unintentionally.
      • Fixed an issue where canceling the Pallid Command aura would not despawn the Rattling Mage.

    She's supposedly free from Zovaal's domination and has her soul whole again, yet she still sounds angry, hateful and vile.

    Obviously they writing storys that are "epic" for the wide audience, that is not writing in forums whats good/bad makes no sense or whatever. They just built plotpoints that you could sell, doesnt matter if there are a bunch of lorefans like you criticise it on fan websites xD

    How can you expect a red line in such a big, long living universe where leaders are changed over all the years?

    Maybe you should start just enyoing it, rather then whining about everything and talking bad about a person, just cause u are disappointed by the story he wanna tell.

    I can understand, that you are pissed, but my gosh, this forum is just mimimi in every fcking thread. so annoying.

    I mean, I know it isn't true but at least then something would make sense.
    There actually could be a bit of truth to this. Company moral is shit.

    Which is a completely fair way to be when you just got free from being mind controlled.

    That shit character should've been written off long ago when Godfrey killed her. One of the greatest moments in WoW was when she got glocked in the back of the head, they should've ended the Sylvanas arc right then and there. If they wanted to make a Windrunner a major part of the story they could've brought Alleria back into the fold with Turalyon two of the biggest figures in WC2.

    Afrasiabi said that, and im 100% sure he meant it.

    Im of the belief that the story was going to play out very differently for Sylvannas. Say what you will about Alex and all the shitty things he did, but he was 1000% better at crafting a narrative than Danuser.

    Once Daloser took over, he had to somehow save his waifu Sylvannas.

    Except she isn't? Arthas lost control of her do to the Lich King being in danger and his powers weakened...she didn't fight for freedom, she was handed it after Arthas and Ner'zhul grew weak. Then there is this line "But there would be no justice that day, for anyone. That is yet to come" Umm...Arthas was killed...but you know who didn't get justice? The MANY victims of the Jailer...
    Except she is. Uther talks about forgiving HIM. Why in the name of Zeus' butthole would she have any reason to forgive the Jailor? Why would Uther have any skin in trying to convince her to forgive the Jailor? What are both of them connected by? Arthas.

    Please watch the warcraft 3, the frozen throne mission ending for the undead campaign "Flight from Lodaeron"

    It's funny you bring up Uther...he was the second form of retribution to Arthas after his first which was his downfall, so there has been plenty of justice

    You highly underestimate Danuser and his love for his waifu...but then again I'm guessing she is yours too

    Where in my entire response, did you extrapolate that? I absolutely hate Sylvannas. I hated her since she first gated me from getting the keys to Silvermoon

    I just don't understand why Horde players ***who care about lore*** don't recognize they are evil. Yes, both factions have committed atrocities in the PAST but any Horde player who didn't follow Saurfang is guilty of supporting, defending, and following the orders of a genocidal monster. There's no debate to be had. Zappyboi was a cute attempt at propaganda and even after his speech she nuked her own people! Yet still they followed, defended, and supported her.

    Redemption arc for her isn't what's important. The horde who kept her in power and slaughtered Night Elves as they tried to flee from the tree as their families were incinerated, are the ones who need to atone. The horde who hid behind cowardly leaders. The horde who blindly did her every bidding until she laughed at them and left.

    With that said...Sylvanas inflicted countless atrocities upon a great many people over a lengthy period of time. It doesn't matter if she is 'sorry' or 'wasn't in control'. There's some pretty good reasons for numerous characters to execute her. Be it through vengeance or to rid Azeroth of the possibility of Sylvanas somehow regressing back to her villainous self.
    in general your theory holds but in this instance it is as loose as scattered sand, she is in the cutsody of people who she wronged, is it not expected punishment of a kind would come about? A simple yes, but as usual its dodged.

    Surely Zovaal knew defeat when he was chained up in the maw by the rest of the pantheon of death and was replaced as arbiter
    He was defeated but he didn't realise it, he just thought it was all part of his plan somehow, yes he hit his head reaaaalllly hard.

    The best part is everything with denathrius, like all the nethrazim are made by him and millia long plans are coming to fruition but when you come face to face the guys an utter moron.
