Cataclysm Beta - Build 12604

[Tablemaker]

It looks like, once another expansion, the priest class is ready to ship the first month after closed beta started.

[Zokten]

Like how they increased mage ranges but fucked many of their good talents.

[Narshe]

so wait, all these changes are fun and stuff but does the last part mean we will have to vll alts to 80 before going into cata content? , also the hp change seems reasonable since in the vids people were 1-2 shotting stuff

Nothing gets past you does it? Lol sorry, couldnt help it ><

[fangless]

on a pale horse :| still not as cool as lichborne or endless winter ;o

[Seltin]

Nice Rogue changes

I guess Back Stab is combat now? lol

[pete420]

Deadly clam + heroic strike(now instant) spam? OP as hell!

[paladinosauro]

that was fast.

[galaxiah]

No spell leather bonus.....?

[Tommy2er]

I don't suppose this means a few more invites go out, does it?

[Zarleck]

I approve of the Chains of Ice change along with Festering Strike.
And yeah, gief Spirit Link!

[Geckomayhem]

Yay for mage changes! Looks like they are working on the trees quite a bit. Expect there to be a lot more tweaking, including removing of talents and adding new ones.

So, people are expected to level to 80 before leaving Northrend. This may make some people unhappy, but I think it is a good change. More stamina across the board sure will make high-level Azeroth much more interesting.

Edit: Arcane mages are actually starting to look very promising. Even Incanter's Absorption is attractive with being procced off damage taken while Mage Ward is active. Very cool. Eg. http://www.wowtal.com/#k=Ze-C3fKI_.9q4.mage

I like how Fury warriors are turning out, too. Exciting prospects for my priest, rogue, mage, warrior and shaman!

[matiwariat]

i looked over the hunter specs and i have to say they are much much better, sv got cleaned up abit, people should stopp qqing about having to take "pvp" talents in the mm tree, and bm looks awesome anyway . i checked other classes and they all seem much much better, more polished. altough the first 2 tiers of frost dk look somewhat strange to me

[Metaslave]

how come they can get Dark intent to work but not Spirit link for shamans

Oh I don't know, because spirit link is something that is easily abused?

So far some shitty talent changes.

No spell leather bonus.....?

3rd one from the bottom: Astral Leather Specialization - Increases your Intellect by 5% while wearing only Leather armor.

[Danner]

Cloth specialization is going to be pretty pointless for clothies, won't it? I mean, it's not like mages, warlocks and priests have much choice in the matter...

[Bikni]

Frostbite gone Oo very bad move

imp cs tier 1 very good move

well... i got mixed feelings but its good to see them change the frost pvp because even with 31 points was basically the same has it used to be.

[Rahzel]

Starsurge
30 yd range
11% of base mana
15 sec cooldown
2 sec cast
You fuse the power of the moon and sun, launching a devestating blast of energy at the target. Causes 279 to 280 Spellstorm damage to the target and knocking them down.


Spellstorm damage, what exactly IS that?

thanks, this is what i get for reading and raiding.

[Butterbumps]

Spellstorm damage, what exactly IS that?

It's like Frostfire Bolt, except with nature and arcane damage. It counts against whichever is the target's lower resistance.

[Deleted]

sweet stuff Elemental mastery 15% damage increase rather than 15% casting speed <3<3<3<3<3

hope they fixed guild control..
