Wrath of the Lich King Class News for Nov. 6th (evening)

Wrath of the Lich King Class News for Nov. 6th (evening)

Whatever I missed, is here via WOR.
Hunter
Autoshot not doing damage during Volley (Source)
That is by design. Even if it wasn’t by design, the current implementation is a good idea because Volley does so much damage now.
Exotic Pets vs. Cats: DPS (Source)
We made a big pass on pet dps for 3.0.3 so I’m not [...]

Daily Class News for Wrath of the Lich King (Oct. 20th)

Some good news and some not so good news in this batch of Blue posts. Druid healing not so much nerfed as just forced off easy mode.
Lifebloom nerf
Even if you only consider PvE, the reason we changed Lifebloom, as I have said before, was it became the correct answer to any situation a Resto druid [...]

Possible Patch 3.0.3 Class Changes

This is coming from MMOC and the Official Wrath of the Lich King forums. Now in the title I say that they’re possible class changes because anything can happen; they could push these as hotfixes, they could come out with 3.0.3, they could come out on Nov. 13th with the retail Wrath of the Lich [...]

The Daily Spoon: Tuesday Patch 3.0.2 Recap

The Daily Spoon: Tuesday Patch 3.0.2 Recap

Good afternoon Spooncrafters. Patch 3.0.2 should be installing or at the least downloading on your boxes now right? In today’s official Daily Spoon (morning was just a heads up letting you know I was a awake and pretty fucked up to be running internally 3 hours behind everybody else) I’m going to quickly skim over [...]

Class Changes in Wrath of the Lich King Beta build 8982

Here’s a list of all the undocumented class changes that have come through in this patch. Very interesting stuff here and I’ll have to play around with it to really have an opinion but right now on paper, I see Death Knights finally getting some damage buffs and survivability nerfs which might put them BACK [...]

Wrath of the Lich King Beta Build 8970 Class Changes (Sept. 20th)

Blood

Blood Aura - Now healed by 2% of the damage done, up from 1%. [...]

How exactly are Class Changes Done?

Ghostcrawler posted the other day a somewhat detailed explanation as to the reasoning and methodology that Blizzard follows when changing classes. The massive Death Knight nerf is what spawned this particular thread.
We have spreadsheets — huge ones. We have values for characters in greens and raid buffed with epic gear. We have estimates of mob [...]

Daily Class Discussions for Wrath of the Lich King Beta (Aug. 25th)

This is going to be a little on the long side as there was a new build (you know 8820 the new patch). If you haven’t noticed by now, after every major build hits the Beta (and all of them are somewhat major) there are TONS of Blizzard posts and discussions going back and forth [...]

Undocumented Class Changes in Wrath of the Lich King Beta 8820 Build

Later today I’ll make a post for open discussion where we can talk a little bit about these changes since many of them are VERY significant and really shift the tables around on which class is most powerful and which spec is now really good compared to what it used to be.
Warlock and Mage changes [...]

Daily Class Discussions for Wrath of the Lich King Beta (Aug. 21st)

Druid
Armor / Health Pool / No Tanking Gear
Druids won’t be popular tanks if everyone knows them as the OOM tank. When I say “big health pool” I’m not talking about 30% more than a warrior, and I’m not even sure that’s the route we’ll go. But since the “big health” idea generates a lot of [...]

The Daily Spoon: Monday August 18th

No catchy or creative title today, trying to get as much done in what little time I got right now considering power’s going to knock out this evening when the stupid storm decides to flood my home. A few notes I wanted to let you all know:

I’ll be updating a lot today so check back [...]

Wrath of the Lich King Beta General Changes

Here are more notable posts regarding general changes in the Wrath of the Lich King expansion.
I will say this much though, I am very interested in some of the comments posted by Blizzard developers explaining how they go about making changes in the expansion. Knowing how they do these things makes it easier to provide [...]

Like I posted late last night, the developers and lead designers have been really busy on the official Wrath of the Lich King forums. Death Knights look to be gearing up to be taken to a shippable state which is a good thing because as soon as the new class has been polished to a [...]

Class Changes in the Next Beta Build

Class Changes in the Next Beta Build

It’s an ongoing thing with the WotLK Beta (thus being a Beta) where Blizzard seems to be changing class mechanics and talents (to balance) every other day. Typically there are times where it changes day to day and then things aren’t touched again for months while other stuff is being tested. Gear and situations add [...]
