    Right now the numbers don't seem to match the goal as well as your example would suggest. Swizzle above notes that his gear on beta is giving him 62% player damage reduction, which would mean you take 38% damage. If natural Resil gives you 30% reduction then you'll be taking 70% damage. That means a player without PvP gear takes nearly double the damage that a player with PvP gear does.

    In all honesty I don't believe it's possible to make PvP reasonably fair in PvE gear and still better in PvP gear without making healing unreasonably powerful.

It's why Torchlight 2 pushed back its release date when they found out Diablo 3 was going to release on the same day.
    Except releasing TL2 the week after D3 launch would have been a huge hit for them. Considering how horrificly bad D3 was from launch till this recent tuesday. Now Blizzard has had a lot of time to polish and will probably get PvP out before TL2 finally comes out. NOT good business sense for Runic.

    Mana pools are capped, new resources for everyone

    ...So am I right in thinking this essentially makes mana a type of energy? Energy being the system that no one liked, but the moment you add in an extra resource it becomes "meh"?

    "streamlining raid buffs" = remove stuff....

    For me - this new systems take everything I liked out of the game and turned it into a joke. My class that I played for 6 years feels and plays like crap. And dont tell me I havn't played it... cause I have been in beta for months.

    Horrific.

    Paladins now have several ranged abilities, though remain primarily melee combatants. In-line with streamlining raid buffs (more on that below), Auras have been removed, and the buff focus is now on Seals. Paladins can now store up to 5 Holy Power at a time, but still can only use up to 3 on each Holy Power spender.

    Blizzard is doing everything possible to get as many paladins to play monks I guess....

    No thank you. The class just doesn't feel like paladins anymore. And I have been through the LOT - including 40 man buffing in vanilla. That was fun compared to how it plays atm.

    That is very curious, because I happen to play a paladin, and I think that the Paladin changes are very nice (although it is not the class which received the most important overhaul). What changes exactly don't you like?

    Keep in mind that's in FULL Malevolent PvP gear, aka Conquest PvP gear, which is given out free on beta for testing purposes. It would take a while before people actually have those same numbers on live when all this hits. Sure, once we move to the second season of MoP, it will again be hard for new comers to gear up in PvP, but it will be MUCH better than what we have now, which I believe is their intent.

    Also, don't forget PvP Power increases healing done in PvP, but you lose a bit of regen and other bonuses to pick it up. I believe a full T14 healer would have the same throughput as a full S12, but they will just be about half the damage. Again, not ideal to do PvP in PvE gear, but it is much better than the current system.

    I personally can't log on to my Paladin on live after playing it on beta just because it's in a much better shape on beta. The level 90 talents are fun (personally love Execution Sentence) and I love the increased options each spec has in terms of damage. Paladins are one class I don't think people have a reasonable basis for hating once they hit 90...outside of Ret PvP maybe.

    poor rogues you guys lost all sense of identity this expansion. How does blizzard not hear the feedback you guys have been shouting for the past few months about how poor these changes are. Heh, what are ya gonna expect though, brand new class that wears leather and uses agility, so I guess we shouldn't have expected you guys getting any cool new toys. Monks do look pretty fun though, either way, rogues rotation is going to be even MORE boring and autonomous, you guys are still no doubt going to top the charts again once haste starts getting high enough!

    Because everyone thinks that energy is the best thing ever and combo points are so easy, I mean otherwise how could rogues be so good in pvp??????

    The hell with energy. Any system where you spend 3/4 your time not doing anything in particular, waiting for your attack resource to come back, is a bad system.

    wait they are removing paladins auras????

    what are they replacing it with, I used to switch them quite a bit depending on the situation.

    I don't understand why they are totally changing every class.

    I play every class but a druid but wtf man I am going to have to learn2play them all over again

    These are some big and exciting changes, and I’m certain I forgot one or more of them.
    Don't forget the change to the basic availability of races within the game as of Tuesday! No matter what expansion you have, races up through worgen / goblins will be available for everyone, and Pandaren make the list with the release of Mists! =D

    The only thing I like about energy (coming from a feral druid) is that we don't need to really buy mana pots or anything stupid like that, and we're not gimped out like rage is if we have a shitty attack speed or aren't getting hit a lot. At least with energy, no matter what happens, you'll still EVENTUALLY be able to do something. But with how things are going, mana users seem to have unlimited mana and don't need to worry about it.

    So the Battle for Theramore is going to be a scenario. I thought so. That kind of cool. However I have not yet done a scenario so I dont know if you can repeat them or not but I dont like the idea of being able to do scenarios multiple times if you can.

    Anyone else feels that almost all classes got stronger and a lot of additional PvP-abilities(cats that heal better...firemages with the bailities of icemages etc.) while the shadow got another boot to the balls with even more difficult mechanics(which was anyway already maybe the hardest in the game)? I mean...okay..he can finally run as fast as every other class(they have so far all been faster)...but if that's really enough?

    They did originally have it planned that way, but they decided to allow hunters to equip melee mainly because of the RP crowd along with the banksitters who had old legendaries. A lot of players actually requested this on the forums many months ago.
