What does it mean in patch notes for 5.1 when it says stuff like "be more responsive", like poisons or revealing strike?
There should be less of a delay between when you expect to happen and when it happens. Usually the proc just feels "slow." (

Will you be nerfing Pure self heals as well? Some pures can heal for the same amount as Hybrids at the moment.
Well, pures should out-heal hybrids. We will increased the PvP healing debuff if necessary once burst is toned down.
Isn't hybrid healing the whole point of being a hybrid? to heal little more than the pures?
Sorry, thought you meant pure healers (e.g. Resto). It should go healer > off-healer > not a healer. The first part was off. (

Intervening Touch of Death, unintended to hit for 100% of your Health Bar, should only hit for the 10% in PVP. Correct? Fix ?
It's one of those Irresistible Force - Immovable Object deals. Not sure it's broken.
So any updates on the wand bug? it's the greatest hindrance to dps, and with the only Caster Weapon we can use as a wand it sucks
Yes, working on a fix for Demo + wands. (

Just wondering, what was the reasoning behind making Avenger's Shield only Silence the primary target?
Multi Silence is very good and you don't often need to pull many casters (and still can with LoS). (

Grand Empress Shek'zeer has a 2 second swing timer. As a prot pally, I found myself micromanaging SotR as a result.
A fair complaint, but she also doesn't hit that hard (with her melee attacks). (

Will Spriests ever get an Aoe buff? Their Aoe is really bad atm compared to Elemental and Balance. Multidotting is boring.
If you don't like multidotting you might be playing the wrong class... (

Ok im really curious when you will fix disc priests in pvp we are completely broken mana, healing, and so on.
Talking about it. I think we've finally been convinced that Disc is a little low (in PvP and PvE).
In what way do you think disc is low GC?
We're looking at Rapture mana and Divine Aegis as Disc-oriented ways to give them across the board buffs. (

I saw that Chaos Bolt damage is getting nerfed with GoSac in 5.1. Is it the only nerf to Chaos Bolt ?
At the moment. Need to see how 5.1 shakes out. (

Why you nerf my 1.4M executes? Sadly, without those executes, i feel we'll no longer be competitive dps wise with other tanks
It's pretty hard to justify a million point Execute for a tank... (

Now you give a much bigger advantage that requires a much bigger grind (i am talking about the dailies grind). I dont get it
There was no alternative to the head enchant. There are plenty of alternatives to valor gear. (

PvE
Why does trash respawn in 2hrs, from both a gameplay and making sense perspective? We killed it and didn't reset!
Traditionally: added pressure to not wipe / gave groups a chance to call the raid. In 2012, we're not sure it serves a purpose. (

Any spell with a base cooldown of >5 minutes is reset after a boss, right? Do Void Shift and Hymn of Hope qualify?
Yes, and the data says they both work correctly. Are they not? (

Why is bonus VP still only 1/day for random heroic dungeons?! When will it go back to 7/week as it was prior to patch 5?
It's bonus for the first but valor for *every* run after. With the 7 that's all you got and there was no catch up.
7 was enough to cap before however. We still have the cap. I don't understand what you mean there was no catch up
Say you went on vacation for a week. You could never make that lost valor up. Now you can run 15 dungeons to make up for it.
So, 7/week felt like a job? What feels like a job is being pressured to log on every day to progress. Bye flexibility.
If you want to earn all your valor on one day, you still can, it's just not the most efficient way. We can try and make the rules flexible enough to let you play how you want. That doesn't mean the way you want will be the most efficient. (

PvP
PVP blog post was great but It left 1 question for me. There was no DoTA style BG in future features. Is it canceled?
No, hasn't been cancelled. We always have a lot of pots on the stove. (
Source)
Whats the reason that you dont ban all pve gear from arena and rated bg?
We want PvE gear to be acceptable until you get a lot of Conquest gear. Conversely, Honor gear should be fine to get you into LFR. (

Future
Do think (in the foreseeable future) you'll ever rebuild WoW on a newer engine?
We improve the engine every expansion. I'm not sure what we'd benefit by just starting over. (

I think there's a bug with the valor buff (50% boost after capping) where after you log in after cap resets, you keep the buff
Yeah, it fades on leaving the world instead of entering. We'll get it fixed. (

World
Any chance we'll see a few severely low population server AHs combined? Economy is ruined on many servers.
Definitely want to fix the low pop economy problem. Not 100% sure yet that cross realm AH is the right solution. (

Misc
You guys just did it with the Lesser Charms, so... Could we have Halaa Research/Battle Tokens stored as Currencies?
Our concern was that there is no way to ever get rid of them as currency. With items, you can sell or delete them. (

Why isnt possible just to change character skin by updating them like the yaungol to tauren?look the same.. just new skin..
The armors and animations aren't designed to work with those models. It's possible to do of course, but not simply. (

What is your favorite weapon model out of everything in the game?
I still love the original Quel'serrar. Maybe Ashkandi too. One of our item designers would say Lionheart Executioner. (

You really think Rogues are fine? Right now I think you have a brain tumor. Let's hope both of our opinions change soon.
Your opinion would kill me. Mine would mean your video game character is slightly underpowered. Hmmm. (
