oh my, looks like the horde got the better end of that deal.

 

[Ethiraseth]

Will of the Forsaken: Activate to become immune to fear, sleep, and charm effects

somehow this seems a little bit overpowered to me.

Not at all, if you consider the fact that they had it as a passive ability before this announcement.

Not to mention that Polymorph and Sap will now work on them (them counting as humanoids), which it didn't before.

 

[Kokelimonkelmedisin]

still if you look at what the alliance gets that ability has no equal ^^

so we gonna make two lesbian undead sisters now?

Gnome rogues will be amazing.


Escape Artist: Activate to break out of a Root or Snare effect

Expansive Mind: Increase Intelligence

Arcane Resistance: Increase Arcane Resistance

Engineering Specialist: Increase skill bonus to Engineering


Escape Artist is worth it alone, Engineering Specialist is also good as Engineering is a very good pvp tradeskill, and can also help in pve, like using a bomb on a hard boss and the nets ect rock.

Tauren Hunters will be a bit better, as they get a area stun in stomp, as hunters have no stuns at all, only a 3 second snare.

Night Elf traits seem weak to me. Improved Dodge is nice for my rogue I guess, but otherwise, blah. The wisp better be atleast x3 the normal ghost run speed....

seemes like alliance druids wont be too happy about em either.
If they get a reraise this patch (seemes like it) they wont need the
whisp thing. And they can allready stealth trough shapeshifting.

This realy sucks as druids only have one choise of race ^^

The Forsaken (playable undead) count as humanoid instead of undead

So they can be polymorphed, sap'ed and turn/shackle undead etc.. dont effect them.

I don't get it how Shadowmeld is supposed to stack with stealth, since if you are stealthed and try to meld, you get a "More powerful spell in effect" message. Unless of course shadowmeld gives a passive bonus to rogue stealth, which would be very nice, since it's useless to rogues otherwise. Go figure, I bet Blizzard doesn't have a clue themselves, judging from all the "awesome" changes they made in this patch.....

It's silly to change the game so dramatically when they have 2 weeks to US / Korea launch. Feels like they are following SoE's footsteps a bit too closely.
