Patch 3.2 PTR build 10072 Changes and Additions

Ok I’m going to consolidate this post to make it easier for you guys to follow. Also it saves me time to spend finishing the polish on my 3rd Starcraft2 Beta post. Guh this is making my eyes hurt, I’ve been writing this bloody post for over 2 damn hours because I can’t seem to really really care enough. Mayhaps after this I won’t post any more 3.2 information until like, the day just before it goes live so we’re not arguing over things that go through changes like so much damp toiletpaper. So here’s what we have lined up:

• A few T9 set bonuses have been changed.
• Profession changes got some more tweaks.
• Class spells and talents have received a few changes.

T9 Changes: I’m liking the tanking set changes, they all seem to be really solid for helping out threat which is hard to scale compared to DPS.

• Death Knight T9 Tank 2P Bonus – Decreases the cooldown on your Dark Command ability by 2 sec and increases the damage done by your Blood Strike and Heart Strike abilities by 5%.
• Druid T9 Feral 2P Bonus – Decreases the cooldown on your Growl ability by 2 sec, increases the periodic damage done by your Lacerate ability by 5%, and increases the duration of your Rake ability by 3 sec.
• Druid T9 Balance 4P Bonus (Starfire) – Increases the damage done by your Starfire and Wrath spells by 4%.
• Paladin T9 Tank 2P Bonus – Decreases the cooldown on your Hand of Reckoning ability by 2 sec and increases the damage done by your Hammer of the Righteous ability by 5%.
• Warrior T9 Tank 2P Bonus (Taunt) – Decreases the cooldown on your Taunt ability by 2 sec and increases the damage done by your Devastate ability by 5%.
