WoW Cataclysm: Class Discussions Panel
Class discussion was pretty much just the buzz word for “everything else” truth be told. It was awesome as all hell to see up close. My camcorder died on me halfway through but imagine if the forums were held in a big grand hall. Ghostcrawler would say something, the crowd would start going fucking bat [...]
World of Warcraft Rogue Class Q&A
Today we continue our class Q&A series with the development team, in which we’re taking a look at each class and answering some of the top questions brought forward by their communities. Next up, we explore the most asked questions from the rogue class and find out more about the design philosophy and expectations for [...]
“The goal was NOT to nerf Paladin DPS…”
It has come to my attention that there’s a different tune of QQ going on about something or the other Blizzard is doing to Paladins. You learn to just zone out most of the WoW class balance news after a while because 99% of what you read or hear is negative and unfounded. But every [...]
Hunter Developer Q&A says very little…
Well, its better than some of the other Q&A sessions but still heavily lacking in any real substance. Here are the keypoints and you can read the full Q&A below.
They’re still looking at removing ammo and making it more like a gear option (like relics and such) that maybe shoot different types of ammo but [...]
Warrior Q&A with Developers
This is a Q&A that I actually like. Personally I think Blizzard gives the player too much freedom in their game. Let’s not kneejerk here and start freaking out about how Spooner wants the game to be strict and boring. I’m simply saying it lends to the game’s structure and definition if we knew what [...]
Protection Warrior Burst Damage in 3.2
I applaud Blizzard on this. It might be really fucking selective but at least I know they have the basic concept of how MMORPG balance should be. The argument right now for protection warriors (tanks) is they want to deal more damage, they want to bust out the 19-21k shield slams like on the 3.2 [...]
Class Q&A: Paladins (nothing to see here seriously)
If you’re a glutton for massive walls of text and reading the same statements over and over again, just worded differently, then you should read the Paladin Q&A. I’m not offended or angry or anything like that because of the Q&A, but I just wonder why it was even written in the first place. There [...]
Garwal’s fate is sealed…
Update – This is now hotfixed and Garwal is now untamable and not classified as a pet.
I reported yesterday about this here Garwal taming a worgen pet for hunters thing. Like freaking clockwork we have a blue post today basically saying it’s going to be hotfixed out of the game and that having a worgen [...]
So you hunters want to tame a Worgen?
Pretty much “get it while it’s hot” type stuff here ladies. There is a way for hunters to essentially tame a Worgen discovered at Mania’s Arcania, however. If you did all the quests in the Howling Fjord you’re shit out of luck. For those that qualify, here’s how you do it:
First off you have to [...]
Official Warlock Developer Q&A
Here are some highlights from this Q&A:
Warlock pets are getting new models.
Blizzard doesn’t want the Warlock to be like Mages anymore so expect buffs to demonology.
They’re revamping the entire soul shard system so that using soul shard abilities are big deals and the soul shards themselves becomes a core component of the class.
Community Team: We’d [...]
Hey look! Its a Shadow Priest Q&A
Hey kids! Here’s a shadow priest Q&A session on the forums! Waow weee wooo wowee kapow zip zop zoobity bop!!!
Question 1: What does blizzard see as shadow priest roll in pvp or pve situations?
PVE: I dont pve much but from my understanding there are aoe monsters is this the niche you intended them to fill [...]
Horde Rogue & Druid T9? Maybe…
Blizzard hasn’t confirmed that these are the official models, BB from MMOC is just pulling information from the PTR files and turning them into something we can see with our eyes nothing more. We know that the Horde and Alliance are getting different looking gear which is nice, I severely doubt though that the rogue [...]
New Spirit Beast in Patch 3.2!
I knew there was a reason I leveled my hunter to 80! I’m dusting that little badass off and getting his epic flyer as soon as possible. I want to make this clear, I hate cat pets in the game. Since day I just haven’t liked them at all. Even in real life I’m not [...]
Death Knight Class Developer Q&A
I read the Q&A yesterday and haven’t really been able to figure out if anything is actually being said in the text. Death Knights are doing fine in PvE DPS, PvP, and are quite strong at tanking. They were too strong at tanking and thus became really popular because the cooldowns meant a significantly lower [...]
New Patch 3.2 Shaman Totem UI
So this here is what we’ve all been waiting for, well all us Shaman that is. This change has been pretty much in the making since 2005 and I have to say, I’m not disappointed. Blizzard has done a very good job with this UI. It works perfectly, you can preset 3 different groups of [...]
Block/Boss changes, OP Warriors, and Rage starvation GO!
Listen up raid leaders and shield using tanks alike. I’ve been concerned about the way raids have been going in that pretty much every T8 encounter in Ulduar (keepers and onward) as well as all the hardmodes, pretty much demand without question or hesitation, blowing cooldowns like a motherfucker or the raid is wiped. It’s [...]
Class Q&A Series: Mages by Ghostcrawler
Community Team: Joining us today to shed some light on the many questions we’ve fielded from players within the mage community is the Lead Systems Designer for World of Warcraft, Ghostcrawler, who has enlisted the assistance of several members of our class design team to provide the most thorough answers possible. We’d like to begin [...]
Patch 3.2 Class Changes! There’s a lot…
Alright ladies here’s the breakdown. If you see blue test, Blizzard wrote it. If you see orange text, I wrote it. Look for the orange text because you know, hot shit right there. Feel free to call me a know nothing idiot in the comments if you disagree.
DK damage seems to have been nerfed some, [...]
Here is how new Seal of Command and New Seal of Vengeance will work!
Ghostcrawler says this:
We know it’s hard to evaluate the Retribution changes without understanding how the Seals now work. Here is how they work.
Seal of Command
OLD: Gives the Paladin a chance to deal additional Holy damage.
NEW: All melee attacks deal additional Holy damage.
Seal of Vengeance / Corruption
OLD: Fills the Paladin with [...]
Upcoming Paladin changes for Patch 3.2
I’ll update and edit as I finish reading through, just posting naked as is now for you guys to see it faster. Eyonix posted massive wall of text I’ll break down for you now.
Tanks – Ardent Defender will now be like Last Stand without having to push a button. Blessing of Sanc will add stamina [...]
