Dungeons & Raids
  • Deadmines
    • Foe Reaper 5000's health has been reduced slightly. In addition, he now enrages at 40%, up from 30%.
    • When enraged, Foe Reaper's Molten Slag spawn 33% faster.
    • Some boat fires will now go out when Vanessa VanCleef is defeated, making it easier to get back onto the ship from the cavern entrance.
    • Vengeance of VanCleef has been redesigned. It is now a stacking buff that increases damage dealt, size, and attack speed, and stacks up to 40 times. Vanessa will begin casting this as soon as she jumps back onto the boat after detonating charges.
Classes
  • Warriors
    • Drums of War no longer lowers the rage cost of Piercing Howl.
    • Mortal Strike cost has been reduced by 5 rage.

WoW monthly fees actually don't pay for much other than lining the pockets of investors.

Ideology is not reality.
To make good policy, one must consider all ideologies and decide which best solves the reality of the situation. Ideology is afterall, JUST AN IDEA.

Ret has been OP for ages - it's somebody else's turn. The class can still be an amazing tank or healer, so...meh...doesn't need to be a top dps too even if bliz is trying to generify all dps. Could be worse too, could be a boomkin.

instead of making a good expansion they made world of warcraft 2 which probably would have been good if everyone started at level 1. This time around they messed with too many things for people that have been playing since release.

We had this discussion last night in my guild. We are pretty much convinced that Bliz wants Paladins to only be Tanks or Healers. They don't want anybody to be Ret right now.
