    Just wondering, what exactly encouraged the hunter nerfs, especially the MM ones?

    It's bad enough with focus that our DPS dropped dramatically and we suck in PvP, but apparently they want to make sure that we aren't viable at all.

    The 8% attack power scaling drop will hurt big time.

    Thanks Blizz, as always.

    Boub,

    link the Running Wild animation, which has been implemented in this beta build. I am just glad they did a smooth animation transition between unmounted and mounted instead of the cast bar and instant blink onto the mount.

    It's alright, no-one will play female Worgen anyway. Not when the male Worgen are so fucking awesome.
  1. Mandible's Avatar
    That dance is soo crappy as it is atm . Too few moves or could be due to it seems so stiff in the movie - its not a fluid motion and the right leg doesn´t seem to move past its initial position.

    Yeah... no. You see, Benny Hill is actually funny. Lady GaGa is just some random weird drug-woman who got picked out of the gutter by some guy who had too much money on his hands and made her popular under the people, by making popular I actually mean stomping down everyone's throat day in day out for years after some finally succumb to it and actually believe she's "cool" and a good singer.

    And that brings my rant to an end.

    Aw c'mon,

    I like it. ... What? Hey, she has large boobs and is grabbing'em all the time! What's not to like there?

    Ah well, bit too clunky and indifferent moves to be honest.

    Benny Hill has never been funny. Ever.

    Back on topic: I like the dance. Nowt wrong wi' bit o' Gaga. I do now have no clue if I should roll male or female Worgen. It's down to a coin toss now I think.

    I think they should have been more clever with the intro screen.

    Rather than it just being default stormwind, they should have two versions... one with stormwind, one with orgrimmar. And based on the faction of the player you were playing when you last logged out, that is the screen you see.

    So if I play an orc, I log off, log back on, Deathwing is in Orgrimmar. If I'm a nightelf hunter, he is in Stormwind.

    Typically most people stick to one faction mainly anyway, so they'll mostly see the screen that fits their faction.. rather than everyone looking at stormwind.

    Everyone (including Boub) missed a big buff to Chakra Heal;

    Old: Increases the critical effect chance of your Heal spell by 10%, and your Heal refreshes the Duration of your Renew on the target.
    New: Increases the critical effect chance of your direct healing spells by 10%, and causes your direct heals to refresh the duration of your Renew on the target.

    Add on top the chance to 30 second cool down (done yonks ago) Chakra Heal is pretty good now.
