Massive Druid Nerf incoming. WoW Patch 2.0.10

The last week I leveled my Druid to Level 70. It is quite hard to get into instances with the Rogue and everybody was looking for a Healer or Tank it seemed like a very good idea to get the Druid to 70. Within the hour of reaching 70 the new Path Notes were published. I am not a good healer, just a decent tank and with the patch Blizzard takes away a lot of threat generation for us. Thus I am not happy at all with the Patch. Also the Rogue changes – there are none.

World of Warcraft Patch Notes 01/09/07

Taken from the World of Warcraft Forums I have the latest patch notes (1/9/07) for World of Warcraft here for your convenience. There are a lot of changes ahead so take your time reading.

The Burning Crusade

Several years have passed since the Burning Legion's defeat at the Battle of Mount Hyjal – and the races of Azeroth have continued to rebuild their once shattered kingdoms. With renewed strength, the heroes of the Horde and Alliance have begun to explore the broken lands beyond the Dark Portal. What dangers or rewards await mortal champions in Draenor? And what will the Alliance and Horde do when they discover that the demons they thought vanquished have returned to renew their terrible Burning Crusade?

General

  • A stirring of events has begun throughout Azeroth and rumor points to the Dark Portal as its source.
  • Mazk Snipeshot in Booty Bay now sells bullets.
  • The Auction House now sorts by buyout price first, then by current price. This should filter all of the items with outlandish buyout prices to the bottom of the list.
  • Players will now need to be level 58 to pass through the Dark Portal.(The Burning Crusade Expansion must be installed.)
  • Collector Edition pets are now blue items and a confirmation dialogue will appear to prevent accidental deletion.
  • Pets will no longer attack targets that are under the influence of crowd control (sheep, banish, etc.).
  • The title "Scarab Lord" can now be chosen in game for select players.

PvP

  • Players can use the /teamquit or /teamdisband command in order to leave an Arena team.
  • A new bracket has been added to Alterac Valley for level 61-70.
  • Added a sorting function so that the battleground and scoreboard can be sorted by any of the categories.

In addition, "Mangle" will now benefit from the damage boost from "Tiger's Fury".
  • "Enrage" will now show up in the combat log and in floating combat text.
  • "Lifebloom" will now correctly consume clearcasting.

World of Raids publishes more Tier V – Sets

World of Raids has published more Tier 5 Sets on their forum. Click here to jump to the thread. They are including all sets on all Races and Genders as soon as they come available. Really awesome work World of Raids.

You can argue about taste, but I think the current Tier III is much nicer. Compare Dradnaught Armor to Warrior one which is just plain ugly. And then there is still the Skeletor-look of the Rogue set. Just the Warlock Tier V Set looks really really great, especially on orc.

Patch 2.0.1 hits the Test Realms (patch notes included)

The Patch 2.0 with the new honor system, 41 point talents and many more changes has been uploaded to the public test realms. Since these are feature that will most likely go live I have added the patch notes for Your convenience.

There are many changes I really like, while I completely detest others. For example, why did they change the +skill from weapons? It was the main reason I rerolled a human rogue. But now for +0,5% increased crit chance on higher level mobs its hardly worth it anymore. Big human nerf in my eyes :-/

——————————————————————————–
– World of Warcraft Test Patch 2.0.1

  • Low-level spells cast by high-level players will receive smaller bonuses from +healing and +spell damage.

  • HoTs from different sources will now stack (i.e. multiple druids can cast the Rejuvenation spell on 1 target).

      Burning Crusade: Pieces of Information from Closed Beta

      The Burning Crusade closed beta has started and it also started without NDA. I doubt it would have worked anyhow to keep the NDA up, but this way its much more legal to publish new content.

      Well here are some snippets without any guarantees:

      Fast flying mounts will cost 5000G – if that will decrease the amount of farming bots?

      „The pricing may not be final but that is the current price shown in the beta (for the epic flying mount riding skill). Keep in mind that from 60 to 70 you’re going to be getting a lot more gold, so the price won’t actually reflect what it may take to build that amount in the current game.“ – Drysc

      An informative description of the new starting areas.

      Dual wielding shamans can buff each weapon.

      Arena Teams can be named.

      Some more beta screenshots can be found here.
