You'd find that all of the base damage on spells/abilities stays in constant ratios at all levels, for a given class, BTW. (Source)
And that's the problem. For a lvl 30 with 150 SP, this increases Wrath by 138% but Healing Touch by just 28%
Heals had higher base healing to make up for players having base health. However, that didn't line up and scale perfectly. (Source)
In WoD, there will be no more base health, or base damage/healing on spells, so it's all just scaling; can line up. (Source)
So whats this going to do to dmg and healing at low lvls if you don't have heirlooms you won't have much stats.
There are still base stats. (Source)
Is there going to be a base amount of the new secondaries? like even with 0 crit rating u still crit
No. You still crit with 0 crit rating because you have 5% base crit, and crit from agi/int. (Source)
More similar to haste, where there is no base amount of haste. (Source)

Does no Dodge/Parry on gear mean Strength -> Parry and Agility -> Dodge are being removed as well?
Nope, those remain. (Source)

Now that we have 3 new secondary stats (Amplify, etc.). How many of these stats will we see on a single piece of gear? Still 2?
Still typically 2 secondary stats on most gear. May be exceptions, as always, but vast majority of the time, 2. (Source)

Will melee abilities still be affected by Weapon damage. Or are those abilities now only scaled by AP?
Yes, weapon damage will still be a thing. (Source)

If this means all dmg spells and heals will scale with primary stat, this is a good thing although simplifies gear
Typically Attack Power or Spell Power, which mostly come from your primary stat. (Source)

would be nice for weapons to means as much to casters a physical.
Somewhat ironically, weapons are actually *more* important for some casters, than some melees. SP bonus is huge. (Source)

sorry if this is a repeat question but if I gem say spirit then trade to dps or tank does that gem change too eg haste for dps ?
No, only primaries on armor slots switch. (Source)
sorry im more asking for the gem side the fact that say pally chest has a gem socket do I have to swap it everytime swap spec ?
Sorry, not sure I understand the question. If you put a Spirit gem in a socket, it provides no value if you respec to Feral. (Source)
ok thank you that means if I have a gem socket armor piece when swap to my off spec I either need new gear or a different gem
To min-max, yes. However, remember that a different item of the same ilvl likely won't have the gem socket; sockets are free. (Source)

Will Cleave on gear mean CC'd mobs have to be moved to Uzbekistan to avoid sheep-busting?
No. Cleave won't hit CC'd or mobs, or mobs you aren't in combat with. (Source)

Does it mean won't be useful or won't be optimal? Is this applying to PVP too?
Spirit will have zero value for non-healers, including in PvP. (Source)

In WoD, does the baseline yellow attack hit cap include attacks against targets that are higher than 3 levels above you?
Yes. (Source)
Does that also mean a lvl 1 character will have 100% hit chance against a level 100 character or mobs? aoe questing inc
No. Just up to +3 levels, then you start missing again. Similar to how Crushing Blows still exist now. (Source)

PvP
I've had a question about PvP. Why is there a gear req? Why isn't it stats-agnostic, to make the game 100% skill-dependent? Thanks!
WoW is a character driven game where you participate in different activities for rewards. PvP is one of those activities. (Source)
I know that very well I would just love an option at some point in time for pure stat-agnostic, skill-based pvp.
http://wowpedia.org/Trial_of_the_Gladiator (Source)

Also, kudos for taking out expertise and hit. Step in the right direction! Still, I wish all radials were disabled in PvP though!
While there may be a place for a game with WoW gameplay and no stats/gear, WoW is not that game. WoW is an RPG. (Source)
Why not poll the PvP population and see what they’d think of a permanent Trial-of-the-Champions play style?
Polling the population is not how we design games. Personally, I'd find it pretty unrewarding. I like getting gear. (Source)

Crafted pvp gear feels a bit gated. Not many want to use daily cd on making 476/458 gear. Maybe lower mats over time?
We don't like the starter gear coming from crafting. Exploring the idea of BoE starter gear coming from battleground wins. (Source)
OMFG BoE PvP starter gear?! If it's BoA I will make you a(nother) million cookies (BoE is still awesome though!)
I can see your point but I think BoA might be worse in this case. (Source)

What other steps would be in there to keep those first few BG experiences from being even more brutal to new folk?
I think a lot of the UI changes we're making are in support that goal (Source)

Misc
And you are the next Ghostcrawler ?
Nah, I just work on flavor/feels things like Headless Horsemen & Darkmoon Faires & zombie plagues & pets & toys & so on. (Source)
You're my friggin hero for trolling people about Kara so damn hard.
Just wait until Heroic Zul'Farrak gets data mined. (Source)

    I would like to see transmog items "usable", like pets and mounts, and account-wide. So that they wouldn't have to take your bank-void-bag space. All characters, that can wear i.e. leather, could use all leather "designs" that have been "learned" (but still with class restrictions).

    Dyes for gear like Diablo III has them.

    Hi,
    Was hoping for:
    (a) Path of the Titans being returned after getting scrapped

    (b) A 'family' tree that unlocks bonuses for your alts and such after meeting specific requirements. Bonuses could include: an added bonus to levelling, ability to convert older tier gear back into BoA tier tokens for alts, reduced cooldowns on professions etc.

    (c) Cross-realm, "Looking for Achievement" finder - split into the various categories. They could simply add a "find people for this achievement" on any specific achievement and open it in a LFD type tool.

    (d) Moonkin for update (Pretty please!!!)

    (e) AQ Gates type event again with server races etc, but of course with the ability to phase out overpopulated areas unless in a raid group. That way, servers won't crash like they did during AQ

    I'd love a system for cataloguing and collecting tier sets and other sets, like some interface showing the missing items, and achievements for the most important sets; right now the void space is not enough to keep all the pieces, so some alternative 'storage' for trasmog purposes would be nice. I was thinking something halfway between archeology, with categories and lore, and the pet collection, with grayed-out missing items.

    Collecting old tier sets is really fun but after a while you fill up storage and need to use the real bank (which is huge, no problem) but then you have some pieces here some there and it's not nice.

    Another perk would be to include lesser-known, not class-specific, sets which usually aren't collected because there's no reason to....

    And once again, achievements for completing tier sets pleaseee!!!!

    I know good and well that it's not going to happen, but I still want a new class, because all the current classes/specs bore me, was really banking on a demon hunter. :/

    Happy new Year everyone

    account shared bank slots (like in EQ)

    I'd like to have an in-game Hearthstone to play, so that you can still be in the WoW client and chatting with guildmates while playing Hearthstone.

    Level shaping to play with friends, like a lvl 90 toned down to a lvl 45 to play with their fellow lvl 45 friend.

    heya,
    1 more profession-gathering one

    I would like to see all the 5 man dungeons scaled up or down at your lvl and when you use the Looking for Random Dungeon/Heroic to have a chance to get anything from Vanila 5 mans as a HC/normal content to the new WoD dungeons.

    Account wide reputation for non-current content would be nice.
  1. Sydeon's Avatar
    Dyes for transmog gear, as it'd give me a lot more options in my wardrobe. More character customization for all races, new and old, would also be welcomed.

    account wide reputation
  1. budala's Avatar
    More space in bank { for transmog purposes}.
  1. Sliippy's Avatar
    I'd like to see free server and faction transfers. It'll never happen but it'd be wonderful. Or at least a discount on moving several characters.
  1. mmoc33d58dcf0a's Avatar
    More random world events or secret and shady things happening around the Azeroth. (Or Sylvanas' model for players..I'd give my left hand for that, and the gear she has.)
  1. BarosanuNr1's Avatar
    Hoping for:
    - dungeons scaling with level;
    - some more (but not too much) x-character integration (like reputation);
    - a return of dungeon sets, which would work well with the intended greater emphasis on heroic dungeons;
    - a return of pvp items as possible rewards for leveling quests.

    An "account chest" where you could put things for alts without sending it per Mail.

    I Warlords of Draenor I wiould love to see:
    1) Subraces because they would improve gameplay on RP realms,
    2) Kilrogg Deadeye as a good guy
    3) upgrading the models of old mounts
