So is this when we can do the Theramore scenario? Or is that next week? (Can't remember if it was a week or two weeks before MoP)

Next week IIRC.

[Gingercrab]

I hope this enables Theramore.

Normally I don't say much about these pre patchs to an exp as everything generally goes tits up with the game.

But.. I know most of the changes are based around how the class will be when it is level 90.. I can't fathom how a dps class such as the hunter class can take so many nerfs yet prot warriors who are beating dps classes get some buffs.
The nerfs to black arrow and improved serp sting seem more like a way to push people to use BM even more so now. Which in turn is funny givin how boring the spec is to play and how amazingly buggy it is.

Again its apparently about the scaling to level 90 but currently.. dah fawk with these nerfs to a pure dps class yet buffs to a tanking spec... brains not working early but anyone wish to comment (using brain skills preferably)

[MoanaLisa]

Theramore is the 18th.

You said it yourself, most of this stuff is 90 balance.
Blizzard uses the time from patch 5.0 till MoP release as testing, the balance for 85 is the least of their worries. It sucks, but the month pre patch is always horribly and amazingly unbalanced.

[Elunedra]

huh? not the bearform buffs in in dmg reduction?

It also has a great deal to do with the vengeance cap removal.

[exoraki]

Did we really already need a warlock nerf? -.- it's always the same, than why not nerfing warriors insane aoe dps? and of course we always need a mage buff. To power up already OP mages is always a good idea -.-.. unbelievable.

[Deleted]

For those who haven't see it, these beta patch is here to update the beta with the actual number on live.
Just check the mage change and compare it with the live number:
Glyph of Ice lance is already doing only +40% damage on a 2nd target in live. The same for Frostbolt debuff, etc

[Bahska]

I hope this enables Theramore.

Well im here to smash your hopes an dreams because Theramore wont be open till the 18th for one week.

[Mumuk]

where the hell are new buttons for shamans?

I think that was put in a hotfix? I could be wrong.

It's not a nerf. It's a relocation of damage from the dots to explosive shot.
But I do agree. The prospect of going BM in MoP does not amuse me.

[s810]

why would they take 2 seconds off pre-med

seems random and pointless, like they just had to throw in a rogue nerf because every other class was getting something

[Deleted]

Why isn't the same nerf to Master Poisoner/Curse of the Elements as that pet Fire Breath written anywhere?

[Speedy92286]

Theramore is the 18th.

Well that sucks. I thought it was supposed to be two weeks before? Ah well. Another week til Theramore then another week til MoP? I can wait.

[Archimand]
