Interesting. and good work.

i wonder how bad the Battleshout nerf is,,, Nefarian will definitely be more difficult.
and since we won't have Paladins yet, Mages will have some issues with aggro at Vael / Broodlord.

What things do "weaponskill" do now.. only crit vs mobs above your level... ? if that's all then it's sucky as hell..
plain crit would be better. 2 skill points to gain +0.5% crit (only vs mobs above you) seems pittance.
why can't it just stay the way it is.... it's only white damage.

Rogues are going to love : http://www.wowwiki.com/Combat_Potency
This new talent.. but it seems it heavily favours Daggers.
while obviously swords are a nice thing to have in solo... it feels as though slow weapons will always be less effective to rogues.
The fastest offhand sword i've seen is 1.4 second, in beta. but swordspec is really still crap, as the proc resets your swing timer. >_<

a 1.2 sec dagger would be better than a 1.5 or slower sword, due to this talent.

but if youre going to use daggers anyway, you may as well spec for it.
i hope there will be some "fast" fists in TBC.

and as you can see at the link, the difference in energy gains between a 1.3 second and a 1.5 second weapon is HUGE.

Weaponskill needs to be looked at, thats: a racial - talents and items with weaponskill that you are nerfing, and plans to review this?

Any plans to review the rogue mace-talent?

It can always change depending on the feedback Blizzard gets during beta/PTR. I myself don't have an answer for you currently :-)

Good one, was just about to start farming :)

Will this PTR demand more from our computers than wow currently are? Since TBC probably will, and how big will the download be?

Hmm.. you cant farm honor marks.

but the "tokens" like arati basin tokens, AV, and WSG, tokens, you can start collecting right?

they only stack up to 20 anyway atm.

Oh and would it be possible for Blizzard to give us at least two weeks notice before implementing the patch, so that we arent wasting our time grinding honour only to find out that come wednesday it didnt count for anything.

improved enchanting UI... still pretty bad, compared to the "sortenchant" mod.

Cooking, and Alchemy, also need better sorting.
but oh well..

btw, i assume there is no use to the current AV / WSG reputation anymore, as these are getting changed.

It's a start... Maybe in the future of at the end of PTR they might change it. Reputation still has usage since some rewards require you to have reputation.


Q u o t e:

I'm pretty sure Blizzard will give a heads up.


Q u o t e:

After this patch you can farm them. Pre-2.0.0 you are correct.


Q u o t e:
You said the new talents will be available but what about the new spells, the pre level 60 ones obviously?




If it's spells for L60 or lower, then yes. Will add this to the Q&A.


Q u o t e:

Does it matter it's called 2.0.1 or 2.0.0? Also the notes aren't gone official yet. Both USA and EU don't hold the notes themselves, nor is the PTR up. Hence the unofficial.
