Class Scaling, Utility, and Gear in Wrath of the Lich King
Gear and class scaling
Our general philosophy is that we don’t want relationships to be too predictable. Much of the fun of improving your character is seeing the effects that different kinds of gear have on different rotations. To use an extreme case, if every piece of armor just said “improves stats by 1%” getting loot [...]
Hunter Pet Management Updates in WotLK Beta
Hunter & Warlock - Pet management
There are 2 additional slots in the stable. Integrating hunter / warlock pet management into the new mount and companion UI has certainly come up already. Let’s give the new UI a whirl and see if it works and then we can consider if it makes sense to integrate the [...]
Warlock changes coming in next WotLK Beta Build
If you can’t tell yet I’m pretty much just relaying the information all in one lump little package for all the class changes that will be going on during the different builds (like a more frequently occurring patch) that the Beta will receive.
Warlock talents were changed some as well recently.
Affliction
Death’s Embrace (Tier 9) does not [...]
WWI08 Class Panel: Mages, Warriors, Druids, Warlocks, Rogues.
So in a nutshell Warriors are going to be Barbarians from Diablo II, Rogues get an AOE, Warlocks can shapeshift, Druids are getting Dire Cat, and Mages will become walking explosions.
Mage
Mage Armor will be reworked to reduce harmful debuff durations, so that’s a more suitable raid armor. Finally.
New ability: Frostfire Bolt. In itself it’s [...]
PTR 2.4.3 Patch Notes Updated for Mages & Warlocks.
This is going to make mages and warlocks both very happy. I on the other hand would normally be bothered since I normally go purge happy whenever I see a warlock or mage, but at least this way I conserve a little more mana.
Mages
Frost Armor, Ice Armor, Mage Armor, and Molten Armor are no [...]
Kalgan doesn’t hate you. I do.
Taken from the Warlock forums.
Q u o t e:
All your whining might have got your nerf reverted, HOWEVER I am sure Kalgan won’t put as much effort designing new ways for Warlocks to escape melee perhaps? Or get his revenge on your personal attacks in WOTLK perhaps?
I think a lot of people here greatly overestimate [...]
More Patch 2.4 Warlock issues.
Normalized from the Skullcrusher US server posted this question (one of many I soon found out) :
I know there has been a tremendous amount of QQing from the Warlock community regarding the Lifetap issue. Something i would like to hear is a CM tell everyone why they decided to change Lifetap to it’s current [...]
The Daily Spoon: Is Blizzard making a big mistake with 2.4 class changes?
I just want to start the day off on this note; is Blizzard really making the right choices here? From druids to warlock, Blizzard is making massive changes to the game and certain classes based COMPLETELY on one aspect of the game, arena PVP. Not even battlegrounds and definitely not world PVP but the arenas. [...]
No plans to remove Spell pushback
Bornakk replied to this post regarding complaints about spell pushback. Personally it just seems like he took some obvious troll bait and will be kicking himself for it later.
Q u o t e:
This is absurd, caster cannot cast any decent spell because 2 rogues are keeping their cast bar at essentially 0
When you are [...]
