Patch 4.2 - PTR Build 14199, Patch 4.2 /roar emote sounds

New "/roar" Sounds Added in 4.2

As many of you who play goblins and worgen may have noticed, the sound usually associated with your characters' "/roar" emote was removed in patch 4.1. This was done to help resolve an issue that caused the sounds associated with the both the "/roar" and "/attack" emotes to play simultaneously whenever the "/attacktarget" command was used.

We know that many of you missed hearing your /roars, so we're happy to report that, in patch 4.2, goblin and worgen characters will once again have a sound associated with the emote. Even better, we're adding brand new sounds for "/roar" for all playable races.

We're excited to be able to introduce these new sounds and hope you have a roarin' good time with the updated emotes. (Yes, I went there. Rawr. :3)

Official Notes Update
Official notes have been updated and are awesome because they aren't the result of my crazy datamining, you know. Also these notes seems to be from a later build and any change listed there is most likely more up to date than datamined changes

Frost
  • Annihilation now increases Obliterate damage by 12/24/36%, down from 15/30/45%.

Glyphs
  • Glyph of Dark Succor has been redesigned. Rather than placing a 15% maximum health floor on Death Strike healing while in Frost or Unholy Presence, it causes the next Death Strike within 15 seconds after killing a foe that yields experience or Honor Points to heal for at least 20% of the death knight's maximum health (still requires Frost or Unholy Presence).

Druid (Forums / Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)
Feral

Periodic base damage has been increased to 816 581, up from 189. Periodic damage attack power scaling has been decreased to 2.35% 1.67%, down from 3.26%. In addition, a bug was corrected where armor decreased the periodic damage done by this ability.

Hunter (Forums / Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)
Marksmanship
  • Careful Aim now grants additional critical strike chance against targets over 90% health, up from 80% health.

Pets
  • 8 new rare tamable beasts have been added, each of which provides a unique taming challenge. Will you be the first hunter to tame Deth'tilac, the rarest and most powerful of them all? Players will need to progress through the Hyjal Regrowth and Molten Front daily questing areas in order to unlock access to the full gamut of taming challenges.

Mage (Forums / Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)
  • Arcane Blast damage done has been reduced by 5%.

Priest (Forums / Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)
Shadow

Subtlety
  • Hemorrhage base damage has been increased by 40%.

Warlock (Forums / Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)
  • Soul Fire is now available at level 20, down from level 54.

Warrior (Forums / Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)

Arms
  • Two-Handed Weapon Specialization weapon damage increase has been lowered to 12%, down from 20%.

Fury
  • Dual Wield Specialization weapon damage increase has been lowered to 5%, down from 10%.

Items
  • If a player wins a Need roll under the Need Before Greed system on a Bind on Equip item, the item will become Soulbound to that player. The item will remain unbound if won via a Greed roll.

User Interface
  • The order in which characters are listed at the Character Selection screen can now be rearranged and saved.
  • Raid Profiles have been added which allow players to save the raid window user interface layout based on type of content (i.e. 10-player raids, 25-player raids, Battlegrounds, etc.) for future use.

    Draenei and BELF female doesn't even have any roars. Orc and Troll female sounds stupid and Tauren needs a roar with a deeper voice.

    Also, Spell axe? Say what?

    Blizzard, from a Fury PvE warrior to the development staff.

    Every warrior out there can say this with an extreme sense of urgency. While our burst damage is awesome in PVP, that doesn't correlate to PVE.

    Can we stop basing PvE and PvP off the same spell sets already? It is getting really sad that we are continually nerfed to satisfy the PvP crowd. You must realize that there is as many PvE players as PvP players, right?

    What warriors really need is some form of agro dump. You want to improve PvE warriors? The first minute of a fight is by far the WORST experience a PvE player can have.

    If you don't understand what I'm talking about, the first 20-30 seconds of any fight for a warrior usually goes something like this:
    Pre-Pot
    CS
    Death Wish
    Rotation
    Rotation
    CS
    Reck
    Rotation
    Rotation.

    But, the problem is that most fights we simply have to *completely* stop dps, even with pre-planned Hand of Salvations and Intervenes to drop threat as much as possible, a warrior has no personal way of dropping threat... Except simply stopping DPS for a few moments. This is the worst experience you could have as a warrior. Threat is terrible, we are topping threat in every fight, except we are no where near the top of DPS for every fight. Sure, some fights we are competitive, but there are far too many fights where you constantly hear the agro warning.

    Quite frankly, all of these roars are from.....alpha...beta vanilla? anyone with mywarcraftstudio can see that they've always been there but never implemented for some reason...

    Worgen males roar... awesomeeee !
  1. Rushgarroth's Avatar
    Uhm the roar sounds are as old as WoW Classic. I Remember that there was an addon wich enabled them on all races. So.. the sound files have ever been there.
    So.. thats what i noticed... anyone else?
    Edit: Found it http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-a...ails/rawr.aspx Think it was this one. First published 2008....
  1. bbr's Avatar
    The draenei female, and blood elf,,. as well as the goblin ones are,, just,, absolutely poor.
    The rest,, ok,. about time they added those really.

    Guess they mixed up the /charge and /roar emote sounds on those..... perhaps....

    Why do the undead sound like they're taking a massive dump? I guess when your jaw isn't attached that might happen..... and hopefully they will fix belf and draenei roars.

    Any chances for engineers to still keep eng as a profession?
    Blizz better move Eng to secondary list as fishing, cooking etc....
    Or just redesign all philosophy of engineering in this game.
