Patch 4.0.6 Notes Update - January 11

Patch 4.0.6 Notes Update - January 11
The notes for tonight's PTR build have been updated, as usual, they are the only thing you should trust and any change mentioned here is more reliable than the funny datamining. Blizzard spends a lot more time than they used to working on very nice official patch notes, use them. (PS: I totally slacked and chaud did the notes update, love him, not me)

It's also very interesting to point out that the racial flight forms are finally being activated in-game.

    Kinda bummed this list no longer mentions all the Retribution buffs from previous notes. No longer seeing anything about CS damage increase, Mastery redesign for additional damage, or the Divine Purpose redesign. Was this intentionally left out?

    If so this basically means ret pallies everywhere will remain in the bent over position and will continue to be the target of merciless teasing after having 2 weeks of false excitement about 4.0.6.

    wtf

    EDIT: WHEW!!!! I still see them on the official Blizzard post. OMG TY BLIZZARD

    Maybe some people do things BECAUSE they are hard? That is the fun, its like playing a chess player at your level or playing with a 12 year old just starting the game. Yes we can teach the 12 year old but that's not as satisfying as a challenging match that you just get through by the skin of your teeth and win. We are not complaining because 'you' get to finish it now, we complain because we aren't having fun facerolling. Why should all content be doable by the lowest common denominator? If a 12 year old can't beat a grandmaster, we don't remove half the grandmasters pieces.

    I don't understand why you hate 'skilled' players so much. It's not like I only play this game 24/7 I have a 38 hour week job, I go out, go hiking and taekwondo and herp derp I have real life friends.

    Honestly go raiding if you´re searching a challenge!
    And btw I don´t think Hc´s were too difficult but I really just don´t understand what the problem is with making them just a little bit easier. I mean it´s not like they´re making hc a faceroll. Thats just wrong.

    Raiding is fun yes but blizzard decided to make daily heroics basically compulsory for 10 man guilds for the VP. I would just like a mild challenge which is why I pug them instead of going with guild because I have to try then but this nerf is a lot bigger than you think.

    I'm not affected by this, as I already overgear the 346 content, but it's still puzzling how Blizzard staff is contradicting their opinion with the changes they are making to the gameplay.
    They probably got the subscription data the day after he wrote that. GC no doubt got a memo that their subs had gone down by .000001% and he had better fix it or it was back to being lead on a RTS at half the pay he makes now.

    Holy Paladins need a talent that increases the range on Rebuke. Finally getting an interrupt, just like resto shamans, is great. But not when you have to stick in melee range vs. a caster.

    glad to see lots of mage pve changes. especially reduced fb and lb costs. Should help a lot with mana management.

    also im glad they nerfed icelance and buffed frostbolt. I thought it was just lame and stupid that icelance did more dmg than frostbolt.
    I play a mage myself and didnt like it much. not even gona say how others hated mages in pvp. ( and still do

    the big change - trinket dispell silence and disarm - about damn time!

    Last but not least, i wish counterspell would lock out melee for 4 seconds just like casters. but that probably will never happen ;(

    overall good changes gg blizz!!

    On a personal level, I don't really care about the "difficulty" of the heroic. They just take to long, I get bored fast in them, it was why I enjoyed wrath heroics. Lack of challenge or not, I could be in and out with in about 10 minutes or less. That made them perfect because I didn't have to stay in there long. However for a majority of people they do not like challenges and so do not raid. Raiding is supposed to be the challenge, Heroics are the low rung on a ladder and shouldn't be placed for a challenge but the way to the greater challenge.

    Forcing people to enjoy your level of difficulty is retarded (not you as a person just as a general statement.) the game should have many levels and facets for all people. Heroics aren't exclusive to the challenge loving player and should have never been treated as such. If a challenge is needed run the thing naked and challenge yourself, its easier to challenge yourself and make it hard than for a person to break the game just to make it easier and more enjoyable for them.

    Its the start of a term in Blizzard math class. the class contains 2 types of students, hardcores and casuals. they all get their deserved grades at the end the the term, hardcores A, casuals C or below.casuals are not happy, they have been complaining through out the term saying the teaching content is too hard and time consuming. calming they have a life outside school, sports, gf/bf, friends outside school etc, and dont have as much time as the nerds to solve all the equations for an A.

    at the term break, blizzard put up a teaching note regarding the next term that all teaching content will be nerfed : "we will be teaching 1+1 rather then calculus."

    hardcores: wtf???? why nerf the content, the difficulties of calculus is about right

    casuals: stfu, its too hard and should be nerfed.

    hardcores: if you find it too hard, there is the door to the normal math class, dont do higher tier math then, we want challenges here.

    casuals: we pay just as much school fee as you guys are, and we have a life outside school, sports, gf/bf, friends outside school etc. we just dont have as much time as you nerds to solve all the equations.we want A too, and will get it by solving 1+1. if you want hard teaching contents, go to university. if you want challenges, do 1+1 with your feet; break you arm and use the same arm to solve it; do it blind fold etc.

    hardcores: lol?

    fun comes from solving difficult tasks. creating difficulties from easy tasks just sound, and indeed is utterly stupid.

    making easy looks hard = fail
    making hard looks easy = win

    "Fel Armor now increases the warlock's maximum mana by 10% instead of regenerating health." that makes me sad
    I hate blizzard for it.
    Please... I love new heroic difficulty... but don't break Fel Armor health regain...!!! In Cataclysm a lot of caster classes in solo are just boring, with enormous healing penalty and lower survivability!

    I don't like that you took away the mending couldn't u have taken away the pain and suffering and added some more aoe damage to the party instead? The fight just doesn't seem the same anymore. Like your happy little dog that lost one of its legs and hops around on 3? Yeah something along those lines.

    I mean I understand that some of the classes lacked the abilities to interrupt so some of the pug groups struggled to get through the fight. But really this was a fun and challenging fight to some extent. And now its basically gone forever. There isn't a "Super Heroic Version" of the dungeon I can join to do it again. You just took the content out of the game.

    However thank you for nerfing hunters and druids. Please continue to do this. I am most delighted that they are getting what they deserve. I haven't seen what the changes have done to the combat DPS yet for rogues but I hope its closer to mut if not better. I am also happy to see Priests are getting the buffs they need all round. Specifically Miind Sear, Which I have been bitching about on every AOE pull.

    - Don't forget to nerf the Paladins next time.

    Any guild who's worth anything are done with heroics, and began work on raid content.

    You know what will nerf heroics? Getting raid gear. Cry over that, because it's already happening.
    You're probably right. In fact, I think blizzard needs to remove ALL the gear from raids to keep heroics right where they are in difficulty. NERF THE GEAR! NERF THE GEAR!
