Love the soulshatter CD reduction.....Fel Dom CD reduction might be helpful for Yogg Saron P2

mean anyway

Not sure what to expect on DKs.

3.2 will see a nerf in AOE damage and high end strike damage, low end damage will be buffed a little from the looks of it.

T9 bonus sets are cool though for DK.

This time round, its strange that they posted the bonus stats for tier set rather than their graphic first. Usually, its the graphic before set bonuses. You can bet that these set bonuses will definitely change.

Mage Tank... I mean Seriously WTF? UGLY UGLY UGLY

i think i'm about to puke in my mouth...these sets are horrible ugh i hate them...



is this even a set?

hahaha love the paladin headpiece... it looks like a jewish skull cap, and the 3/4 length trousers... it's camper than graham norton.

The gloves are ok... it looks like he's taken Kologarn's arms

WTB Priest Screenies!

They're changing shadowform to "Fireform", but here's the priest t9 set, in normal and Fireform

PRIEST T9

Can you imagine how upset you'd be if you had 2 characters... 1 a pally who now looked like a dickhead, and 1 mage who now looks like a tank... you'd be mortified...

oops sorry shiro


Real priest set... I've just noticed that all the priest sets have the exact same model so maybe the models are placeholders... lets hope so for the sake of pallies and mages.

thats the current mage t8 so yes, they are placeholders

Druid T9....
Can you say "Bao Qing Tian"? LOL

The CB leaf from Tier 1...
[img]http://mywow.wikidot.com/local--files/druid-armour-sets/T1-Cenarion.jpg/img]

.... has finally turned into CB fruit

WHAT?! Why BOTH the classes I pick, the gear like ZOMGWTFBBQ?!

Well, my only comfort is that the pally shoulders don't look like crap for this tier set. But what is up with the mismatching colours for pally gear? Fashion sense like total fail.

& human models are fail. THUNDER THIGHS HO!!!

Aiyo all the current pics in MMO Champion is place holder lah

all the pics are showing T8 models....

EXACTLY. How can people not see that all the gear is t8 and t7 and non-set pieces mixed together? RAGE.

Anyway, information on the newly changed Argent Defender talent from the PTR:

Quote :

Hey there, just tested out the new AD on the test realm. Here are some answers questions:

It reduces damage by 30%.
It reduces the entire hit that takes you below 35% by 30%.
It also reduces hits taken afterward (from below 35% to also below 35%).
The "GS" effect works like Guardian Spirit except places a debuff on you (2 min duration) called Ardent Defender.
It is now shown in the combat log as absorbed damage, as is the would-be "killing blow."
While you have the Ardent Defender debuff, the damage reduction portion no longer takes effect.

Combat log screenshot:

UPDATE: It may be a bug, but this currently DOES proc the debuff even if Guardian Spirit is up on you. In fact, it even takes presedence: You get healed by AD (30%) and Guardian Spirit isn't proc'd.

Screenshot of that:
http://www.bennlinger.com/wow/ad_gs.jpg

UPDATE2: Mortal Strike reduces the heal.

UPDATE3: Does not work for death by fall damage.

What this means is there's effectivley a 2 minute cooldown on the heal AND the damage reduction. Sounds balanced to me.

This, and the change to seal of the martyr/vengeance for tanking means pallies need to gear for hit/expertise to keep a decent threat margin. Heaven forbid.

Sym what r u talking about seal of righteousness is now the premier tanking seal, seal of martyr no longer exists, seal of vengeance is the pve ret seal, seal of command is the pvp ret seal.

Incorrect. SoV (formerly called SoM for blood elves, now taking the ally name) will be a better threat seal than Righteousness.

/point http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=18031134123&sid=1

To make the most of the seal, paladins will need to actually focus on more than just their spells hitting the mob.

So, back to

SoR scales from AP and SP, whereas the new SoV mechanic scales with weapon damage like SoB. If we can rely on Theck's previous work on SoB as a set of guidelines for approaching these changes, we can generate a few preliminary hypotheses. Among these, certainly, is that fact that expertise becomes a far more valuable stat for TPS.

Most importantly in terms of preparing for 3.2, the new SoV should scale best with a slow weapon. Reckoning exaggerates this even further. Even if the TPS difference between Reckoning/Crusade/SotP is close, a slow weapon could make Reckoning pull ahead in the comparison. The bottom line is that Vulmir, the Northern Tempest and Broken Promise seem likely to trump other weapons (with the possible exception of Sorthalis, Hammer of the Watchers).

hmm ok, guess seal of righteousness is just retarded lol. gg blizz

<--tanking with seal of command

wait why would u use seal of command dude...vengeance does more dmg, and pulls more threat.

seriously sed

u have stop to take everything i say seriously

like seriously

Some guy prospected 141 stacks of Titanium Ore in PTR.. http://elitistjerks.com/f15/t29288-wotlk_profession_thread/p75/#post1292595

The average results per prospect are:

Epic: 1
Rare: 1
Uncommon: 6
Powder: 3

err.. i think maybe its per stack, not per prospect.

1 prospect = 5 ores, 1 stack = 20 ores, which is a bit of difference i think.

20 titanium ore for 1 epic gem, which works out to be about 400G-600G per gem, sounds about right.
