Cataclysm Beta - Build 13241 (Updated)

Update #5
Important blue posts.


Cataclysm Beta - Build 13241 (Codename Unicorn)
A new build will be deployed on beta realms soon.

Companion Pets Icons
Icons for the Lil' Ragnaros and Moonkin Hatchling. The Moonkin Hatchling's companion pet was announced to be the next Charity Pet during Blizzcon. And before you ask, I'll double check but I didn't see any model for those pets yet.

    Bear Druids get a shield every time they crit (Which is a lot). DKs get a shield when they use Death Strike (Which isn't nearly as often). Different mechanics are different. (Yes, I play a DK tank and a Druid Tank).

    Wow, way to go with nerfing my only good dps class (lock) - it wasn't enough to shaft rogues, you had to do both... Back to playing my DK tank and leveling my Paladin tank. Awesomesauce.

    • Chimera Shot now scales from 48.8% of Ranged Attack Power, up from 28.8%.
    Avoiding the panic, I was more interested in the cooldown of this one. 6 seconds down from 10? Is that part of this, a mistake in the feed, or did I just miss notes from a previous patch?
  1. Bunkai's Avatar
    No nerf for Shammies... (knock on wood)... not that we could have afforded it anyway.
  1. wiIdi's Avatar
    so what happened to the ambush nerf, it is no longer in the list. Are nuke openers balanced or what.
  1. Urikslargda's Avatar
    Boub, can we get some clarity on all that confusion over nerfs yesterday?
  1. Knuk's Avatar
    They are nerfing us now, so they can give us same dmg as we had before the nerfs in Cataclysm "Look we buffed your class, be happy" We're going to pay for a game that already has existed but with new appearance, this time the box is orange!!!
  1. mmoc299e5269a3's Avatar

    WTF why would they remove a pet from the game?
  1. Burnwild's Avatar
    This build should be named "The Harry Potter Nerfs"
  1. Muckey's Avatar
    If every single class gets their dmg/healing lowered it's not a nerf. It's a lowerage of the dmg output by a percentage. If everyone got buffed by 50%, you wouldn't be 50% more powerful compared to others since THEY ALSO GOT THE CHANGE.

    You have to put it in perspective. You got lowered dmg, yea; but so did the other class next to you. Some of you are obsessed by numbers

  1. Ikee's Avatar
    Is it just me or is the nerf to warlocks not nessasery equal to 12% dmg output nerf? It's the base DMG which means that the nerf isn't as huge when u have alot of spell power?
