The MMO Report
It's time for this week's MMO Report!

[Kelzam]

I don't think Reins of the Kor'kron Annihilator is a world BoE drop >_>

<3 appears it was fixed

[toychristopher]

The enchants are way over the top! It would be nice to see our weapons instead of a giant glow stick.

[Adjutant]

Enchants look great.

[butterflybee]

I somewhat agree that they are a little over the top, but I am happy with them... what I don't get is Might Agility.

What do leaves have to do with increased agility rating?

[anubra]

where are the cata Scopes?

[Tablemaker]

Currently in the game Engineering and Enchanting enchants are stacking... is this intended or a bug?

[The Last DJ]

I somewhat agree that they are a little over the top, but I am happy with them... what I don't get is Might Agility.

What do leaves have to do with increased agility rating?

"I am a leaf on the wind, watch how I soar."

T_T

[Shanur]

I somewhat agree that they are a little over the top, but I am happy with them... what I don't get is Might Agility.

What do leaves have to do with increased agility rating?

i think it has something to do with leaves blowing in the wind, which is probably what it will look like while swinging, so my bet is wind == supah agile

[BondExtreme]

Very nice animations. However it seems they like to keep reusing the animation with the leaves.

[MysticalOS]

50 dodge rating to bracers, or continue using 40 stamina to bracers from wrath. that's a no brainer. 50 dodge rating isn't crap by comparison to 40 stamina. With DR and inflated rating requirements at 85, 50 dodge rating i'd wipe my ass with. what's with blizzard and useless tank enchants all the time.

and 160 armor to shield? 160 armor is nothing by EH comparison to 18 stamina, espeically now that stamina is worth even more per point than it was pre 4.x. so i guess there we're still gonna be using 18 stamina from burning crusade.

[Nevad]

Agreed with the bit over the top enchants, it might be cause they are shown in modelviewer (doubt it but its possible).

[Shinshiva]

Yeah shiny stuff is balls. give me a plain sword any day.

[menulo]

finnaly some good looking Enchants!
i started to miss mongoose/exe , berzerker looked so lame:P

[Ellesar]

great animations, cool proc's

[Razia]

Finally, a stamina chest enchant

[Deleted]

So no one hand enchants for hunters? Great I love dual wielding axes, as we did in the past.

[swissaccount]

those enchants take away from the design of the weapon

[Kasanja]

So no one hand enchants for hunters? Great I love dual wielding axes, as we did in the past.

same for us Enhance shammies...Mastery it is !

[Elween]

The enchants look great but they should lower down the effects, they almost block weapon look/art/design.
But ye its maybe a bug from the modelviewer, i hope.
