I think that with the PTR being up for quite a while now and with the class Q&A’s coming out faster, it might be a sign that Patch 3.2 is coming soon… at least sooner than I originally thought. It’s the Warrior class’ turn to go under the microscope and see what Ghostcrawler and the development team has to say about the class moving forward.
The devs think that one of the things that make the Warrior class interesting is the Rage mechanic, specifically the way rage can convert into damage which converts to rage and so on. It’s a design …read more

When we look back at patch 3.1 in the future, we’ll probably say that’s one of the biggest patches in WoW history if not the biggest. By that I mean not only will it feature Ulduar and dual specs but it’s probably the patch with the biggest revamp to all the classes that’s not a pre-expansion patch or an expansion itself. We’re not just looking at tweaks here and there since we see some major changes just like the removal of consumable ammunition for ranged weapons and the changes to soul shard management system to name a few.
The latest patch …read more

We just talked about part 1 of the class changes coming in patch 3.1 and then suddenly part two is here! This time around, druids, warriors and warlocks are getting their changes announced.
WARLOCK
# Improved Shadow Bolt – this talent now provides a 5% spell critical strike buff (similar to Improved Scorch).
# Improved Soul Leech – this talent now provides Replenishment (similar to shadow priests)
# Drain Soul now has a chance to produce Soul Shards even if the target doesn’t die.
# Siphon Life no longer as an active ability but the talent grants the old Siphon Life effect to Corruption.

Update: WoTLK Hunter and Paladin talents are out as well! Click here
Our friendly neighborhood WoW database Wowhead has been providing players with pretty much everything a player needs from quest information, loot information, maps, addon update info and even talent tree calculators and their very own forum. The latest Wowhead has for us are the talent calculators for each class (except hunters and paladins for now) from the Wrath of the Lich King Alpha.
Word about such talents especially the Death Knight ones have been circulating for some time now and finally we can see what Blizzard has in …read more

The World Wide Invitation has just ended recently, giving us players more information to digest about the Wrath of the Lich King expansion. Most interesting to me are the class changes the developers have planned for all of us. I’m going to comment on some that I feel like eye popping or even just cool below. You can see all the changes that were released at World Of Raids.
Death Knight
Well it’s not a change since these guys will be new. But anyway, as stated before all races can be DK’s. No matter what talent tree they specialize in, the DK …read more

While are many people with level 70’s out there especially since the TBC expansion has been out for more than a year already, I’m sure there are lots of people who don’t or at least just did and don’t exactly know what to do. I was sitting around in Shattrath City earlier when someone asked the exact thing in trade chat, hinting that there might be a lot of people out there like this guy who don’t know what to do when you first hit 70. So what exactly do you do? After allocating your last remaining talent point an …read more

Things change in the Public Test Realm a lot. Aside from seeing new stuff coming out for the Sunwell patch, we’ve also seen a lot of changes to current things like class abilities, PvE encounters, Karazhan attunement and others. This latest wave of changes for patch 2.4 in the PTR is proof that things can very well change and that nothing is official until the patch goes live.
While the patch hasn’t gone live yet, the latest additions to the PTR patch notes shows that changes that Blizzard announced before have been rolled back. I’m talking about the infamous warlock life …read more

Deathwish is currently a fury talent that when activated, increases the warrior’s physical damage by 10% and immunity to fear effects while also increasing all damage taken by 5% lasting 20 seconds. As of 2.3, Deathwish will be switching places with Sweeping Strikes, which in an arms talent that makes your next 5 melee swings strike an extra nearby opponent. Here’s the explanation by Bornakk, the Blizzard Poster.
Some warriors felt forced to pickup certain talents and this left them with few options. This change could allow people in these situations to have some extra options while the weapon expertise and …read more
