[_Fire_]

Every class but mages

[blahssat]

Good god, even more fury buffs.

[II Xion II]

Is that a tiny bit of good news for druids I see amidst a sea of problems?

[imarealpally]

Numbah two! Haha more useless pally changes... change WoG back.

[Deleted]

Hmm weird, won't they do anything about enhancement/elemental for pve and pvp?

[Zehroh]

Damn, T11 pala bonus change is quite good. Too bad T11 has horrible stats.

[jsz]

Nor rogue.

I'm most interested in this SPELL_FAILED_EXCEEDED_WEEKLY_USAGE.

[Deleted]

just minor balace changes then. I like the dk ones though, means howling blast should have less of a linear progression with gear than before, ie more dmg at higher gear lvls, always a good thing (except for the tank)

[varstjasol]

That's one way to give feral some more mobility. =p

[Kankipappa]

It seems that they just want to make fury the "afk" spec while on arms you just have to spam all the time you can (refreshing rend is going to be free = more HS/SLAM)

[Shalim]

Stealth Buff: Disc priests now use runes!

[Pumps]

Wow, its our yearly new emote.

[orderschvank]

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees

more resto shammy buffs <3

[Zehroh]

Nor rogue.

I'm most interested in this SPELL_FAILED_EXCEEDED_WEEKLY_USAGE.

Maybe a special cast to start a raid encounter that can be done X amount a week. But a dreamcloth like item is also a possibility.

Curious too

[Strafer]

Another Lock buff.

LOVE IT!

[holyforce]

REALLLYY? NO new destro changes >. i hope these notes are not complete.

[Deleted]

Can I just say, I love that image of the firelands. I am literally in love with that image. Will someone marry us please?

[Gohork]

DK buff !!

[gorelather]

Looks like the Temple of Pandora in God of War I! I can't wait to kill shit in it!
