those are a totally different story. That's just fixing broken content. A far cry from another sound smiting by the nerf stick.

lol Here's the official

saedo — Sat, 02/09/2008 - 11:59

lol Here's the official lock changes:

 

Warlocks
* Demonic Knowledge: This buff will no longer remain on enslaved demons when Enslave Demon is removed.
* Pyroclasm: This talent now works correctly again with Rain of Fire.
* Ritual of Summoning can be used to summon players into instances if they meet the instance requirements.
* Shadow Ward: Using low ranks of this spell will now be penalized the same way healing spells are penalized.

 

Hell, I'll go copy the official notes into forums in a bit lol

The sig system is a bit

saedo — Thu, 02/07/2008 - 23:45

The sig system is a bit messy atm. Can't seem to have 2 images, or maybe just too long. Also for these html tags, the posts just took it literally and gave you the text. I only got pic up by disabling rich text and inserting directly into the html. Oh well, waiting for that sig addon thingy Garreth mentioned somewhere! 

 

ACK my armory links don't

Olorien — Thu, 02/07/2008 - 23:12

ACK my armory links don't work any more. Frown

What I don't get is why they

Olorien — Thu, 02/07/2008 - 23:11

What I don't get is why they have yet another patch that is an attempt to cripple Warlocks. I know my opinion is biased but come on. Nerfing both Imp SB and demonic knowledge. Plus they are just making demonology that much less viable. How can they have made warlocks so OP from the beginning that every patch has huge nerfs in it. done ranting.

Why hell would they nerf

garreth — Thu, 02/07/2008 - 16:17

Why hell would they nerf lifebloom!! It was finally worth it!!

starstalker's picture

They are nerfing it because

starstalker — Sat, 02/09/2008 - 10:33

They are nerfing it because everyone and their mother are QQ'ing about resto's in 2v2's. These same people don't realize that druids become signifigantly less usefull in 3v3's, and even less usefull in 5's.  

 

/flings poop at Garreth

saedo's picture

Though, none of these

saedo — Sat, 02/09/2008 - 10:43

Though, none of these unofficial notes were on the official patch notes. I believe no PTR up this weekend either to confirm any in game mechanic changes. Blizz's been known to not reveal even everything in PTR notes.

 

 

i smell bullshit.. if they

denul (not verified) — Thu, 02/07/2008 - 16:11

i smell bullshit.. if they nerf tree druids like that (lol woot healing touch in tree form..) i'm forever done w/ resto!

 Those Priest changes are

Agoney — Thu, 02/07/2008 - 13:32

 Those Priest changes are absolute shit. Mana burn is what makes us viable in 2s and 3s.

 

My girl, she likes to party all the time.

More on it:  Turn Undead

saedo — Thu, 02/07/2008 - 12:56

More on it: 

  • Turn Undead no longer fears the target, and now incapacitates it.
  • Turn Undead is now subject to diminishing returns.
  • Turn Undead now lasts 10 sec. in PvP.

 

 

 

 

saedo's picture

Oh yea, read this part

saedo — Thu, 02/07/2008 - 12:48

Oh yea, read this part first:

 

  • It's unconfirmed and potentially fake (50% chance I'd say)
  • Most
    of these changes won't be in the initial release of the 2.4 Patch on
    PTR, it's more a todo-list for classes changes than a full list of
    changes at the release.
  • According to the source, they're a list
    of changes that Blizzard will like to experiment on the PTRs. You won't
    see them in patch notes until Blizzard decides or not to test them on a
    PTR build. That's why they're called TEST servers
