Wreck

Hey guys, just a quick update, I'll be tranferring over my druid in the next day or two. I'm having some broadband troubles at the moment which I hope to have sorted by the end of the week, and it's delaying the transfer process as I want to move some gold and items around between various alts so I have some cash and gems etc on the new server.

Druids

* Talents
o Balance
+ Earth and Moon: This talent now increases the druid's spell damage by 2/4/6%, up from 1/2/3%.

Shamans

* Talents
o Elemental Combat
+ Shamanism: This talent now provides 4/8/12/16/20% extra spell damage to Lightning Bolt/Chain Lightning, up from 3/6/9/12/15%, and 5/10/15/20/25% to Lava Burst, up from 4/8/12/16/20%.

Warlocks

* Talents
o Affliction
+ Shadow Embrace: This effect can now stack up to 3 times, up from 2. However, the periodic healing reduction effect has been reduced from 3/6/9/12/15% to 2/4/6/8/10% per application.
o Demonology
+ Demonic Pact: The damage bonus granted the warlock by this talent has been increased from 1/2/3/4/5% to 2/4/6/8/10%. The buff granted to a raid or party by this talent remains unchanged.

+ Conflagrate: The damage-over-time effect of Conflagrate has been increased to 40% of the spell's total damage, up from 20%.

+ Devastate: This ability now deals 120% of weapon damage, up from 100% of weapon damage.

+ Warbringer: This talent no longer allows Charge and Intercept to break roots or snares. Intervene remains unaffected.

User Interface

* The party leader is now referred to as Guide in chat when a group is formed via the Dungeon Finder.
* Fixed a bug where players with Raid Assist capabilities were unable to perform a Ready Check.
* Fixed a bug where the first couple of tutorials were not displaying upon logging into the game.

Items

* New strength-based melee DPS rings are now available from representatives of the Ashen Verdict.
* Tier-9 Sets: The Aspirant vendors at the Argent Tournament grounds have worked out a deal with merchants in Dalaran so that all item level 232 set pieces will now be available on armor vendors in the city. Set pieces which require trophies will still be available for purchase only from vendors at the Argent Tournament grounds.
* Tier-10 Balance Druid 4-Piece Bonus: Fixed a bug to allow for this bonus to properly trigger.
* Tier-10 Elemental Shaman 4-Piece Set Bonus: Redesigned. Successful Lava Burst casts now increase the duration of Flame Shock on the target by 6 seconds.
* Tier-10 Tank Sets: The gloves and chest pieces for warrior, death knight, and paladin tanks have had their stats adjusted slightly to provide additional armor value.
* Tier-10 Warlock 4-Piece Bonus: This bonus should now correctly be applied to the warlock's pet.

Technical Support

* The cvar 'processAffinityMask' controls which CPU cores are available for the World of Warcraft client to use. Previously the game client was limited to 2 cores as a default which players could override in the configuration file. In the past this provided a performance boost on some CPUs and operating systems. We have identified several systems that are experiencing severe performance issues with this restriction and have removed it. Players who would like to restore the old behavior can do so by updating the Config.WTF file by adding: SET processAffinityMask "3".

very good

Thats some pretty serious nerfs. Shame they did nothing about the huge waits in CoS

Shougeki

What the hell. Those are way over the top. I reckon you could now do those instances naked......


Speaking of which, anyone wanna finish "Glory of the Hero" tommorow? I need a few but now this is gonna be much easier.

Laughing at the continuous Heroic/Instance nerfs... I mean, granted, we could do with less time between VH Boss>Portal Openings but LOL at the UP, OK, Nexus nerfs... Can they make this game anymore idiot friendly?

I've still not bothered my arse to see ICC so I'll probably try now that they've finally opened all wings and Arthas is available - Any bets the encounter is piss easy? I'm voting he's already downed by the hardcore.

he was downed in ten man alright, unsure about 25,. was watching a stream of the ten and it seems fairly quiet... even if arthas has 17.4mil hp and his adds have 2mil hp each....

Actually they did. Another blue post:

Changes to Culling of Stratholme that allow players to skip past the initial story elements will be in a future patch. What seems simple ended up taking a bit of time to implement, and will take just as long if not longer for QA to fully test. I wanted to make sure the quests are still able to be completed, and nothing broke in some rare but significant boundary cases.

Along with the huge change to allow skipping, there's other smaller changes. I lowered the delay after the first boss dies until the undead waves start again. Arthas no longer physically runs from the front to the inn, he just teleports there. Arthas runs to the bookshelf instead of walking.

This sounds awesome. Currently Im leveling a Tauren Shaman, To be Resto @ 80.
Maybe someone can give me some advice on this:

If my Shaman has Heirloom Items in her bags, and I transfare her, will they go with her? Thats my only reservation about swapping.

Also, Is it 80 only?

Already did this with a bag of heirlooms. All transfered successfully.

MagicIRL wrote: »

Nah. Half the people are eithercoming back or creating new toons. I think the idea is to have fun with other Irish WOW players.... Help gear, level etc.

Yep, mine transferred over fine.

If you mean the transfer, then it's minimum level 60 for DK's and 10 for everyone else. so you should be fine.

Nehaxak

Transferred over my DK and Hunter now.
Got sick of paying over the odds for flasks and gems.
DK is Herb/Alch and Huntard is LW/JC.

Herro,

Just seen this topic and I think it would be cool to play in an all Irish guild, currently I am the token Irish guy in my current guild.
Just a few questions.
Would I have to transfer an 80 char or could I start from scratch? I realise I couldnt help much straight away but I enjoy leveling.

I have 3 80's on a different server and I would be willing to transfer my Ele/Resto Shammy if you guys wanted (although I would like to start a Druid).
Have you set particluar raid days or is it when you have enough people on at any given time?

Do you want any linky's to my char/s?

Edit: Sorry if any of these questions have been covered in previous posts, 16 pages is alot to get through!

Shougeki

Lots of people or either transfering, starting from scratch, or doing both. AFAIK there is no real set raiding days yet as we are gearing people up for them, and a number of people are returning so learnign tactics to the recent raids....

Some have transferred 80's, some are levelling and some are doing both. Basically just do whichever you prefer.

Oddly we seem to have a decent number of Resto Shammies already. We don't actually have any 80 Druids yet, though there are a few (myself included) levelling them.

Skcornnelg

Cool, thanks for the replys. I might geton this this evening. Prob start a new char.

Anti

What i'd really like to see there is another hunter, a arms/fury warrior and possibly a mage. Although i think we have someone leveling a mage atm.

Well to be honest the only thing I have been any good at in this game is healing so I prob start a hybrid class. Ive had about 5 hunters at different stages. None made it past 20 and I deleted them all!

Have an 80 mage but he supports my main with enchants and mining. Prob roll a Druid.

Uttik

Hey all,


Well as stated a Druid/Hunter/DPS warrior would be great,

Just drop myself a PM and il help you out

I've decided on my level 73 druid as a main, I've him dual specced resto and boomkin atm. Going to try to powerlevel him to 80 over the next week, still handicappped by lack of internet in my apartment. Going to wait until you guys decide whether you are moving server or not before transferring though.
