Damage Control

interesting things from the 2.1.2 test realm patch notes:

Arena and Honor Rewards: As part of the inauguration of Season 2, the costs of all Arena items and Honor items has been reduced.

PvP Trinkets: Insignia of the Alliance, Insignia of the Horde, Medallion of the Alliance, and Medallion of the Horde have all been redesigned. The trinkets for all classes now have the same effect: Dispels all movement impairing effects and all effects which cause loss of control of your character.

Hm. The trinket change is cool. I wouldn't mind seeing the cooldown on those things decreased to like three minutes instead of five.

And the change to the whole Spellcloth thing is WAAAAY overdue. Getting two angered nether-wraiths is retarded. Warlocks have a difficult time against two of those bastards and we can fear kite them. I can't imagine what kind of nightmare those two are for a priest or mage.

But THIS change -- oi vey.

ROGUES and WARRIORS

Sword Specialization: The change to Sword Specialization making its extra attacks appear in yellow has been reverted. Extra attacks will appear in white and act like any auto-attack. They will no longer reset the swing time of your weapon.



Wow, mega nerf there.



I see there is also talk of what will be in the next BIG patch. Patch 2.2.0 is supposed to bring in voice chat support into the game.

Lord of the Rings Online offers that feature. It's kinda cool (from what I've read -- I haven't actually tried it). Basically when a person talks over Vent or TS, that person's frame will light up to signify that they are speaking. So if you're in a raid and someone says, "Dispel me, quick!" They will light up.

I want the guild bank thing implemented more than the voice chat support feature.

My understanding is the "Level 70" version is already 2 minutes and has resiliency on it .. Now we just need to pony up the honor to rebuy the trinket..

Dude, no way! I love getting two of those things - double the motes! I can take them no problem. Or I could when I was arc/fire....

Druid Tier 4 GLoves had the 24 crit rating changed to 24 agi now making them amazing tank gloves instead of a pile O' Junk. Thanks for Passing Painweaver Saw a screen shot on the Druid forums.

hot damn .... that's awesome .. crit rating is just plain dumb for druids and it finally seems that they're getting it ..
