Updated Combat Resurrection Design, WoW Community Site

Updated Combat Resurrection Design
Originally Posted by Zarhym (Blue Tracker)
The design for combat resurrection effects has changed a good deal for Cataclysm, and we want to make sure players are clear on how spells like Rebirth and Create Soulstone now function. Rebirth has a 10-minute cooldown and Create Soulstone has a 15-minute cooldown. On raid boss encounters, you can only use one of these combat resurrection spells (so one Rebirth or one Soulstone) per attempt for 10-player raids. For 25-player raids you can use three forms of combat resurrection per raid boss attempt (so three of any combination of Rebirth and Soulstone). The count is incremented as soon as a player accepts a resurrection, so one can always choose not to accept if he or she wants someone else to get the resurrection instead. There is no equivalent of the Sated debuff (which tracks Bloodlust/Heroism usage), but you will get an error message if you try to resurrect too many players, and we might add tracking to our raid interface if there is demand for it. Outside of raid content, you can use as many battle resurrections as you have available.

For those of you currently participating in the World of Warcraft: Cataclysm beta test, please note that this functionality may not be fully implemented as of yet. If you notice combat resurrections are not currently functioning as explained here, this is just a heads-up about the updated design intent behind them.

Unless Soulstone is being changed, why does the harder to use combat rez (that being Soulstone, since you have to predict ahead of time who to Soulstone) have the longer cooldown?
One thing we're considering with Soulstone is making it possible, in addition to its current functionality, to be cast on a dead player to give them the option of joining the living again.

New Community Site Live Preview
Looks like we won't be the only one with a new design this week. The new community site is live and is very similar to the one launched with Starcraft 2.

Guarded by the Light
We changed rank 1 of Guarded by the Light to provide the Holy Shield functionality and buff Word of Glory a little bit. Rank 2 provides the overheal shield functionality and buffs Word of Glory a bit more. (Source)

    I'm sure they will migrate the forum ban list over soon.

    They are getting to the point that they might as well just say screw it you pick you race and then choose Tank, melee, ranged DPS, or heals...

    Granted all of the classes mechanics are slightly different, but even with the differing mechanics it feels like they are pulling the uniqueness out of the classes.

    MEH maybe it is just me
    This is my main concern too, it seems every beta build more and more uniqueness is sucked out of the game. I'm personally not happy with the current state of the game at all. I hope all this will be a blip on the map and they will fix things in a few patch cycles.... Or could Cataclysm finally be WoW's NGE? I so hope not.

    Healers are very similar at this point. Only unique left is disc priest with shields nobody else can bring to raid. Tanks were similar during WotLK, but if everything will work as Blizzard promises in Catalsym, they will be the same class with different textures and spell names. Yes, you may feel different by controlling warrior and DK, but as healer or rl I'll see you just the same class. It sucks so hard, I may even try Star Wars then it'll get to the public

    battle rez changes are just dumb - can't say it surprises me, they're pretty much systematically killing casual play in Cataclysm.

    How does changing battle rez ruin casual play? It's a change implemented to stop top tier raiding guilds from doing something...

    Battle res limits? Worst idea since mandatory REAL ID implementation.

    You haven't been able to do that for over a year, since the middle of ToGC progress.

    We are already seeing this Rez limitation with 2 Druids in the raid. We can only use one per fight

    The Europe version also works, like mine:

    I love the new armory! I can't wait for the 3D models to be up.

    The changes to combat resing kinda sucks for progression but this will help teach those people who constantly die on fights by being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

    Aren't they hurting the hardcore most. They're screwing the ones like Ensidia and paragon who previously would have 15 locks in the raid group (but hidden from their GRIDs) so they could enjoy 15 extra stones.

    That's probably the main reason behind it. I think its a good change too since we only run 1 druid in 10's anyways hahaha.
