Shihli — Mon, 02/09/2009 - 19:00

You mean "yay almost every class with a spell casting-slowing effect" nerf bat.

 apparently the least played

Epatrick — Mon, 02/09/2009 - 18:23

 apparently the least played arena class/class in general needs another nerf to it's most useful (and only unique) debuff...fuck you blizzard, fuck you like you fucked warlocks.

I'll have to disagree with

Disrupter — Tue, 02/10/2009 - 02:03

I'll have to disagree with you there pudo. Their most useful and unique debuff, is their single target chain castable fear.

Druids and warlocks are also, fairly close to the same represented level in arenas. Just give them holy paladins, they'll do better ;p.

Dufe's picture

They just took away

Dufe — Tue, 02/10/2009 - 09:50

They just took away AP+POM+Pyro. (or AP+POM+anything for that matter)  It will be a sad day when this patch goes live.

So we agree.... It IS a lock

So we agree.... It IS a lock nerf.

saedo's picture

Sure a lock nerf that wasn't

saedo — Tue, 02/10/2009 - 11:19

Sure a lock nerf that wasn't directed at the locks.  Just the slow casting mechanics of all players.

saedo's picture

Unique?  What are you talking

saedo — Mon, 02/09/2009 - 18:49

Unique?  What are you talking about?   They nerfed the mage's Slow and rogue's Mind-Numbing Poison the exact same way.     So they don't want us messing with cast times as much anymore.

Huh, overall a buff for

saedo — Mon, 02/09/2009 - 11:10

Huh, overall a buff for rogues I suppose....   But a bit of a bandaid patch before 3.1 it seems...   I'll mention more in my own little column.

Any idea when this is bound

Vulk — Mon, 02/09/2009 - 08:48

Any idea when this is bound to hit?  I like the seal change. I mean damn, I thought 30sec to 2 min was amazing... now 30 mins? Yes, please!

going live to test this week

moriella — Mon, 02/09/2009 - 08:52

This is confirmed going live to test servers this week.

 

Thank god, Inner Fire!  We've complained about it for years and finally get it fixed.

 

I truly hope it's not on test for two months like 3.0.8 was tho

 

Looks like overall there are some burst changes going in to help clothies in pvp vs rogues as well. :)

 

The divine plea nerf is coming as well.  Wow, that was fast

We shall see if they nurfed

Knoppix (not verified) — Mon, 02/09/2009 - 09:55

We shall see if they nurfed mutilate enough, as of now even being very good with your class other than being a mage as a clothie a rogue will pretty much murder you.  That is just my opinion I dont know how other people feel.

Don't worry rogues can murder

Dragon — Mon, 02/09/2009 - 10:06

Don't worry rogues can murder plate in the span of a stunlock too unless they are either A. vasty undergeared to you or B. screw it up

Ewiges's picture

These patch notes just tic me

Ewiges — Mon, 02/09/2009 - 10:16

These patch notes just tic me off about how crappy this game is. Why are they buffing stuff in this patch that they said they are nerfing in those class previews for 3.1? I don't F'n get it, what the hell is going on in the blizzard's think department?

Dragon's picture

MMO champ has those changes

Dragon — Mon, 02/09/2009 - 08:56

MMO champ has those changes going to LIVE servers this week NOT to test servers. oO This is gonna be interesting /dripping sarcasm

At least I get 30 minute seals. That should be a net increase in dps and a decrease in mana used for ret though. The Net increase since you don't have to worry about the off chance of forgetting to reseal.

seem like a little fix to bm

Caronte22 — Mon, 02/09/2009 - 17:51
