Great stuff here :)

CC effects get a diminishing return mechanics (first one 100%, second 50%, third 25%, fourth no effect) if used again within 15 sec on same target.

PvP honor system finally implemented.

Lots of class balancing - almost every class gets some nerf and some boost (except warrior).

Looking forward to honour system, hope it will be nice and not be dominated by rogues

Paladin Epic Mount quest added. To begin, talk to the paladin trainers Duthroian Rall or Brandur Ironhammer.

"So we let these classes do quest while rest have to farm 900g" :touch:

And warlocks... they get theres free... and when you see it you will want to make a warlock.

See these (taken from a penny-arcade thread) -

Warlock 1
Warlock 2

Here is the penny arcade thread which has loads of other info (starts page 3 really) -

Rogue's buffed.... /baffle

They are already the most overplayed class.

Ice Mages totally stink now, yey for cookie cutting.

Gah....

That's their compensation for having to play a shit class.

Acutally, both warlock and paladin quests for epic mounts require stuff worth around 400g i read somewhere, still not 900g but atleast it's not for free.

Most already do (fear and poly spring to mind).

Snare nerf is a bit weak - basically frost mages get to blow their all their snare in the first 7.5 seconds or not use frost nukes. :/

Bah tried to edit this but FH was playing silly buggers again.

Looks like frostbolt and frostbite are not affected so frost mages aren't too gimped. The frost nova nerf is pretty much a non-issue as you can't spam it fast enough for it to be a problem (unless you have a lot of mages). I don't think the CoC nerf is too bad either.
Shamans are likely hit harder with the frost shock nerf though, and moving warlock seduce into the fear immunity table will reduce their CC power somewhat.

Why do people whine that paladins/warlocks get free mounts?

I don't see the part where it harms you my dear whining friends.

They are not free, you have to farm / make items worth hundreds gold. Plus wait in line with the other Pali's / Locs for mobs to spawn.

Why are Hunters whining about nerfs? I cant see anything in the patch notes that looks like a Hunter nerf..

In fact I cant really see any nerfs at all appart from the CC one, which incidently is probably the best buff a Warrior could get ;)

Long quest chain, finishes up in scholomance I believe. Not just "walk up to trainer and get handed a mount". :p
Some of the items you have to get are lol really - a big load of arcanite bars for one. Ha! I'd rather farm the 900g. :p

Windfury and Frost Shock changes are good nerfs for shammies

lots of people say new WF is better than the old since the 3sec rule appears to be gone now.

apparently pet dps has been lowered and ranged dmg can now be parried/dodged. Atleast that is what people claim to be the case on the test servers and I cba to really check wether it is really true.

its true but blizzard SAID its not intended and they are investigating it

as are they worried about the new rogue dmg, and how +defense items work now, and about mages diminishing returns

so they can all fo and stop being knobs

make rogue attack power agility only, but only 1 ap per agility point

give wars 10 ap per str point and 3hp for every str also






yes... that will work nicely :D
