Patch 5.2 PTR Official Notes Update

[Deleted]

LOL warriors are being nerfed to the soul! Gj blizz, mages & rogues will be the kings again... as usual.

[Lemons]

Wow smoke bomb...is there anything you can't do?

[Deleted]

Smoke Bomb will actually be a pretty welcome change for PvE. For 'stack and heal' phases it will really shine (like Unseen Strike or Elegon's final phase).

[jayinjersey]

•Transmogrification rules have been broadened for several weapon types

Does anyone know if "Main hand" weapons can be transmoged to "One handed" weapons?

[Deleted]

And I don't think this talent will be taken by shadow priests even after this change. Maybe disc will like it - or Holy who theorycraft that the gcd is good to spend to get 1% mana back?

Solace is extremely good for holy right now, not for disci that are still going with mindbender and casting smite on their pause instead of solace... because avarage damage+free heals is just plain better than low damage+mana-back
With this change disc are probably going with solace too, if it stacks evangelism and heals like holy fire does... Not sure for hpriests: that 10sec cd is terrible.

Thank you Blizzard for being morons again. I'm playing Warrior since the Beta of WoW (yes it's over 8 years already). But this time your tiny brains created the biggest bullshit and all other kind of shit you can imagine. Why the fuck you left Arms warriors with only 1 rage generator ability and 4 rage spending abilities? What is the point of that? To fully remove Warriors from PvP because some whining swines can't play even with OP classes? First TFB was with 5 stacks and then the whiners came: "Oooo it's too powerful i can't manage damage like that. I'm being 2 shotted" And then TFB was nerfed to 3 stakcs. But crybabies didn't stop. Then TFB was nerfed to 1 stack, but obviously it's still toooooo damn powerful for most of the noobs. That's why you decided to change the kind of stacks and put a rage cost. So now warriors are allowed to get 5 stacks of Overpower, but not allowed to use them because it costs 10 rage. I'm just wondering from where we should get rage to use these abilities? Just from a Mortal Strike and an autoattacks? In that case 2 of 3 rage spender abilities will be just forgotten. No one will spend rage for Heroic strike or Slam if we must keep rage for Overpower as well. I hate to believe that, but obviously arms warriors will be a class with only 2 abilities with average amount of damage and no chances of beating any other class.
P.S. No wonder that every quarter year you get less and less players in WoW. Because more and more people are getting annoyed of your shit ideas for "balance"

Yes, the VAST majority of main hand weapons have been changed into one-handed weapons.

[jayinjersey]

Yes, the VAST majority of main hand weapons have been changed into one-handed weapons.

Sweet...I still have several MH weapons sitting in my bank I'd love to re-up

WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?
developers really gone nuts..I'm really dissapointed, I always use to twink some level brackets when lvling my chars,now they gonna remove it cause of some whining noobs that can't afford atleast few herilooms?!
damn whiners go do dungeons...ffs
some bgs already giving like whole lvl in low lvl brackets, so scrubs now get it even more easy, gg blizzard... gg! finally put twinking to the grave!

How is heirlooms related to being scaled to the max level for the bracket if i may ask?

[fangless]

DK T14 nerf... how nice................. /sarcasm

Because T15 will be out, and they want people to not do the T14/T15 split, like we most likely would?

[marthsk]

So you are saying that the 70 twinks are locked out and only battle against other who have locked they're experiene? Then tell it to blizz, if this is how it works out for 70's blizz should listen. But I haven't heard anything like people in level 70 with exp lock are banned for the other bgs where they actually have exp lock of. If this is true, I take back what I said to him, if not go buy a new life!

When a character chooses to lock his experience, he is not going in the same BGs as those with their experience unlocked. They are competing against others who have their XP off, therefore choosing to fight against others who chose the exact same terms as he did.

Before you go off on people, do a bit of research. Just because you're not aware of something doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

[pizzapies]

The obvious fix to the BG problem is to keep the xp off brackets how they are making all of the twinkers happy, and going through with the change to xp on brackets. All of you saying the twinking requires no skill and its just running around with maxxed out gear have no idea what you are talking about. When you twink a character you are but into a separate bracket with other twinks, otherwise you would level out of being a twink in a few bg's. Twinking is an important part of the wow community reserved for those who love pvp but can't stand/or have time for a constant gear grind. i really think they should rethink this and in all honesty it probably will get changed before going live.

Because T15 will be out, and they want people to not do the T14/T15 split, like we most likely would?

This is true but it hurts our DPS during the transition between having 2 piece tier 14 and getting upgrade from 5.2

[Ranaas]

I just lol at that guy raged about the warriors get the first nerf of 5 stacks of heroic strike and accused ppl who wanted that to nerfed as "noobs"

[THEHHH]

Second Wind now causes a Warrior that has been reduced to 35% health or lower to regenerate 2% of their health per second (was 3%), and now generates 15 Rage over 10 seconds (was 20 Rage).
Second Wind will no longer regenerate health while the Warrior is stunned.
Rofl........ So you just cancelled the Nerf for SW but telling ppl Just to stun us at 35% so we can't benefit from it at all so whiners can be happy and kill us with NO SW AT ALL :SSSSS OMG blizzard Well Done ... Really no comment on that..

[Deleted]

Mists of Pandaria Season 2 Malevolent Gladiator’s PvP gear can now be purchased with Honor Points instead of Conquest Points, including weapons, but newly purchased Season 2 Malevolent Gladiator’s armor, offhands, and shields will have an item level of 476 (was 483). Existing Malevolent items are unaffected.

Please tell me that im misunderstanding this whole thing. Are they actually going to do this thing AGAIN?

People with full s12-malevolent will have ALOT more stats than people with full s13-malevolent? Why the fuck do they insist on doing this?

My fully upgraded s12 t2malevolent char will eat everyone with full non-upgradeable malevolent s13. Nice work, blizz

[Deleted]

So instead of fixing the shitty dk t15 set bonus they nerf the t14 set bonus , sigh.

[echopally]

"Divine Aegis is no longer guaranteed when Prayer of Healing is cast. The effect now procs when the spell crits."

This is the single biggest nerf to Disc priests since I have played one over the years.

[Zokten]

I'm pretty sure with enough feedback Blizz will exempt locked xp BG's from the rule as normal levelers have no business in there.

I never put anything past blizzard.

I mean, wth is so fun with being an overpowered twink oneshotting everyone else? No skills, no tactics no nothing, whats so brilliant about that? I don't get it??

whats so fun about doing 90 bgs?

---------- Post added 2013-01-17 at 08:36 PM ----------

What is so fun ganking low levels bad geared people in bgs? What fun am I missing out on. No skills not tacts no nothing. You sir need a life if this is the goodbye letter to the fun... And don't go around giving bullshit about being a 70 twink or whatever. When your a twink you are one, you outgear everyone else trying to level by bg. Go on the trade chat and whine there, then "WTB NEW LIFE" Or find a private server with only twink or convice blizzard to make a realm for twink and twinks only, they ruin the game for everyone else really. So stop whining and acuire some actualy skills.

Did you not even read his post? or you just going on your personal history twink rage?

Learn to play the game and max where at least some skill is required.

Didn't know you don't learn to play the game till max level.....or that 1-89 takes no skill.
