Mazuli · 05-20-2006, 12:32 AM

- Added a new level 60 quest available from Archmage Xylem in Azshara for mages.

Any information on the reward?

Shield slam?

I am proud to be a prot warrior but damn, for the love of god 1.12 better come through with prot love. And they nerfed Tubers and NDs again? It wasn't enough they reduced the number you get each time you picked one but now they are increasing the cooldown? Wow was that stuff really that game breaking? Wait they did list a reason didn't they.

We have re-evaluated the mechanics of consumable items in the game and concluded that these should work in a more intuitive manner.

Fuck you in the ass with a rusty nail. More intuitive? JFC Someone try to even explain this to me.

no shit... i was really looking forward to that stam talent, that alone would make protection so much more viable.

Calmn down, it's there. It just wasn't documented in the patch notes.

Hopefully it's those badass shoulders he wears.

Northerner · 05-20-2006, 12:38 AM

My wager is the new-look polymorphs. I haven't managed to get on the PTR so far though so that is a blind guess.

Hug. You have relieved me of much anger.

chaos · 05-20-2006, 12:43 AM

I love you "Black Hand"

BTW rumored Naxx entry quest and/or shoulder enchant quest (can't confirm due to servers being slammed)

requires 5 arcane crystals, 60g, a righteous orb and honored with AD

chaos · 05-20-2006, 12:46 AM

Corrected, previous post is wrong, it's the entry quest and only at honored faction

- Chain targeted spells and abilities (e.g. Multi-shot, Cleave, Chain Lightning) will no longer hit stealthed or invisible units unless visible to the caster.

Yes. Surprised they fixed this. Imo, would have taken 4 years for this to get fixed in EQ.

Awesome!

Now how about all the other shitty talents in the Protection tree? Need a list?

-Improved Bloodrage
-Improved Shield Block (past 1 point)
-Improved Sunder Armor
-Improved Disarm
-Improved Taunt
-Improved Shield Wall
-One-Handed Weapon Specialization
(Note: That is ~40% of all talents in the Protection tree)

Not to mention the automatic point-sink entitled "Tactical Mastery." Hurricane and Innervate seem necessary? Make 'em base-line! Evocation and Insta-Arcane Explosion seem necessary? Make 'em base-line!

Tactical Mastery for Warriors? Fuck 'em. They have plate and Mortal Strike! They're already invincible!!!

If you really want to placate Warriors, give us something to truly be excited about. Scaling of a 31 point talent? Cool. A +STA talent?! Awesome! Oh, wait, 5th tier? Pretty nifty But there are still far too many laughably horrid Protection talents. Class trees should make people go "How do I want to spend my points?" not "How do I spend my points in the least shitty way?"

(Note #2: I'm well aware this is a Mage/Shaman patch, and so any other talent tweaks are "icing on the cake." However, there has been fuck-all in terms of communication to the Warrior community in terms of their concerns, and we're getting sick of it. Even a "We are taking another gander at the Protection tree and determining whether it is viable to do a second talent review for the Warrior Protection tree (not Fury or Arms) in light of the more recent talent reviews for other classes." would go miles. Throw us a fucking bone already.)

World peace included.

PatrickStar · 05-20-2006, 01:01 AM

Yes I am. However, the text mentioned 'revered or exalted'. I haven't been following the rumors of the key beyond the fact it was tied to the faction. Thus the question is then whats the "discount" at revered versus exalted.

Fendryl · 05-20-2006, 01:15 AM

Rumor has it Revered is 2 Nexus Crystals, 1 Arcane Crystal and 30 gold.
