Leaked Expansion Details - Alrin - 08-24-2006 Take this with a pinch of salt. Also if this is somewhat "omg violation" feel free to remove it/lock whatever. The alpha for the expansion has started for blizz family + friends. Some info has gotten out! At this stage, assuming its real, it will likely still change quite a bit.

(256 mana, 2.5s.) ROGUES: [22:43] : they get an ability called Deadly Throw [22:43] : which is basically an eviscerate, except it's ranged and does thrown damage + an amount [22:44] : 5-point DT is thrown damage + 468-564 [22:44] : Mutilate, 60 energy, daggers, instantly attacks with both weapons and gives 2 combo points [22:45] : Shiv, instant off-hand attack that gives a 100% chance for the offhand poison to be applied, energy cost depends on weapon speed [22:45] : anasthetic poison, 30% chance of reducing threat by a moderate amount, 120 charges PALADINS: [22:48] : paladins get some weird stuff [22:48] : 10% of all healing done to them by other people is given to them as mana [22:48] : I would assume to help tanking [22:48] : blessing of spell warding, makes the target immune to magical attacks but they're silenced [22:49] : crusader aura, increases mounted speed of all party members within 40 yards by 20% [22:50] : seal of blood, all the paladin attacks do an additional 30% weapon damage as holy damage, but paladin loses 10% health of the total damage inflicted [22:51] : and Avenging Wrath, which is pretty much just Deathwish Seal of Blood (64): All melee attacks deal additional Holy damage equal to 30% of normal weapon damage, but the Paladin loses health equal to 10% of the total damage inflicted. Unleashing this Seal's energy will judge an enemy, instantly causing 409 to 451 Holy damage at the cost of 136 to 151 health. Avenging Wrath (70): Increases all damage caused by 30% for 20 sec. Causes Forebearance. New Talents: Holy Pure of Heart, requires 20, 3 point talent Increases the paladin's chance to resist curse/disease by 5(10/15?)% Purifying Power, requires 25, 2 point talent Reduces the mana cost of Consecration and Cleanse by 5(10?)%, and increases the critical strike chance of Holy Wrath and Exorcism by 10(20?)% Blessed Life, requires 30, 5 point talent All attacks against you have a 2(10?)% chance to cause half damage Light's Grace, requires 35, 3 point talent Your Holy Light has a 33(100?)% chance to cause our next Holy Light spell cast within 15 seconds take .5 seconds less casting time. Holy Guidance, requires 35, 5 point talent Your damage/healing is increased by 7(35)% of your Int. Divine Illumination, requires 40, 1 point talent Reduces mana costs of all spells by 50% for 20 seconds, 2 minute cooldown. Protection Improved Resistance Auras, requires 20 points, 2 point talent Your resistance auras also reduce spell damage by additional 3(6?)% Improved Divine Shield, requires 25, 2 point talent Lowers the cooldown for Divine Shield by 30 (60?) seconds, and lowers the attack speed penalty by 50(100?)%. Ardent Defender, requires 30, 5 point talent When your health is below 20(100???)%, reduces all damage against you by 10% Ed: I have no idea which part scales, but a perma defensive stance doesn't seem hideously out of line, and makes deep prot a whole new level of appealing. Lasting Defense, requires 35, 3 point talent When struck by a melee attack, you have a 4(12?)% chance to gain 50% of the damage taken in mana. Weapon Expertise, requires 35, 5 point talent Increases skill iwth all weapons by 2(10?) Avenger's Shield, requires 40, 1 point talent range 8-30 (shooting range), Requires shield, 30 sec cooldown (Listed are from the talent, it may scale with level, there don't seem to be any ranks on the trainer) 500 mana, 270-330 damage. Hurls a holy shield at the enemy, dealing listed damage, and then bouncing to additional close targets. Affects 3 targets total.

Empowered Judgement, requires 35, 3 point Gives your Judgement a 33(100?)% chance to refund 50% of the mana cost of th judged spell Fanaticism, requires 35, 5 point Increases the critical strike chance of Seal of Command and all damaging Judgements by 2(10)% Sanctified Crusader, requires 40, 1 point In addition to the normal effect, your Judgement of the Crusader will increase the critical strike chance of all attacks made vs the judged target by an additional 2% Druid Total spell damage bonus is now displayed in the UI. Frenzied Regeneration now scales with stamina. For Rank 3, each point of rage is now converted to 17 health plus some percentage of your stamina (looks like 1%). Moonfury's tooltip now reads increases damage to all Balance damage spells, which means it probably is now applied after bonus spell damage effects. Travel Form model has been changed to a stag. No word about Stormcrow Form, but I wouldn't rule it out as a level 70 flying mount. Balance Talents Tier 5 Gusting Winds: Increases the damage done by your Cyclone and Hurricane spells by 10/20/30%. Tier 6 Dreamstate: Gives you a 33/66/100% chance to gain the Focused Casting effect that lasts for 6 sec after being the victim of a melee or ranged critical strike. The Focused Casting effect prevents you from losing casting time when taking damage. Tier 7 Improved Moonkin Form: Requires 1 point in Moonkin Form. Increases all spell damage caused by 1/2/3% and reduces the base mana cost of Moonkin Form by 5/10/15%. Note: This means Moonkin now costs as much as Travel and Aquatic Forms.

Tier 6 Primal Instinct: Increases your chance to resist stun, charm, and trap effects by 3/6/9/12/15%. Tier 7 Animal Reflexes: Increases your agility by 2/4/6/8/10% while in Cat, Bear, and Dire Bear forms. Predatory Will: Reduces the cooldown of Growl and increases the duration of Tigers Fury by 1/2 sec. Tier 8 Heightened Senses: Increases your attack power by up to 10/20/30/40/50% of your intellect. Tier 9 Scent of the Pack: Reduces damage taken in Bear Form and Dire Bear Form by 0.4%, and increases damage done in Cat Form by 0.6% for every party or raid member within 45 yards with Mark of the Wild or Gift of the Wild active. So 10% less dmg taken in bear and 15% more damage done in catform in a 25 man raid. Restoration Tier 6 Natural Resilience: Increases your mana regeneration while in all forms by 10/20/30%.

New Base Spells Cyclone (Balance): Throws your target into the air, disorienting the target and causing Nature damage over 3 seconds but making the target immune to other damage during that time. Mangle (Cat Form): Stuns the enemy and deals damage per combo point. Feral Strike (Bear Form): An attack that deals damage and converts each extra point of rage into damage and causes a high amount of threat. Enervate (Restoration): Drains mana, energy, or rage every second for 20 seconds. Control Beast (Balance): Controls a beast up to level 77 but increases the time between attacks by 25%. Lasts up to 1 min.

Or just faked by someone better at hiding it.Fully agree. Somehow, Warriors getting an Invisibility spell (Windwalk) that is better than Mage's Invisibility just seems a little bit out of whack there. And Blizzard would never again introduce a new skill at an even tier in the talent tree. Yea, the second screenshot is not happening. Edit: The typed notes do seem more real, and they correspond to one of the screenshots listed above. IF those are true, then the warriors (at least Arms and Fury) already got a nerf - the move of Tactical Mastery to Protection tree. Given the importance of TM, this would mean either Arms warriors lacking 5/5 enrage, or Fury warriors sacrificing points in Arms/Fury tree. What's more puzzling is the fact that Protection warriors are usually the ones with the least to lose from not getting TM, or not getting full TM, especially if they are Raid tanks. Oh well, it seems Fury/Protection tanking hybrid will now replace Arms/Protection. Leaked Expansion Details - TheDragoon - 08-25-2006 Quote:Fully agree.Also, the more I think about it, I think Titan's Grip is kind of vague/poorly worded compared to Blizzard standards. Is it a passive -20% damage reduction (a la Defensive stance)? If so, it would be kind of crappy. Is it a -20% off the listed DPS on a 2-hander? That would make more sense. But either way, it makes me doubt it, a bit. Quote:Edit: The typed notes do seem more real, and they correspond to one of the screenshots listed above.

I currently have my warrior set to 7/33/11 and so moving Tactical Mastery to the protection tree would be great, in my opinion! :) Leaked Expansion Details - Alrin - 08-25-2006 Ah duh, I admit defeat! Leaked Expansion Details - nobbie - 08-27-2006 Leaked Expansion Details - nobbie - 08-27-2006 New Enchants: Quote:Formula: Enchant Bracer - Major Defense Leaked Expansion Details - Quark - 08-27-2006 Quote:Formula: Enchant Weapon - Mongoose Oh wow ... Leaked Expansion Details - chippydip - 08-27-2006 Looks like some awesome druid changes if these are real! Here's the google translated version: http://translate.google.com/translate?u=ht...angpair=de%7Cen Here's the stuff I found particularly interesting: Balance: * Supposedly Moonfury now gives a bonus to +spell damage in addition to the base damage it does now. * Cyclone spell to toss people in the air and disorient them for 3 seconds. * Control Beast spell so we can have a pet! * Strength of the Moon talent to increase spell damage by 25% of Int. * Empowered Starfire talent to increase +spell damage by 10%. Feral: * Feral Strike spell to dump extra rage and generate more threat. Druid tanks on Vael ftw? * Feral Recovery talent increases healing effects on you by 20%. This is huge! It's almost like taking 20% less damage (since druids usually have anough health to live through spikes anyway). * Heightened Senses talent adds 50% of Int to your attack power. This should go a long way toward making "balanced" gear viable in all forms. * Sent of the Pack talent looks like it reduces damage by 0.4% in bear form and increases damage done by 0.6% in cat form for each nearby groupmember who has MotW/GotW. If this counts raid members then, considering a 25-man instance cap, this would give a bonus of 10% reduced damage or 15% increased damage. If it only counts party members, this would only be a 2%/3% talent. Not much, but probably still worth it for only 1 point. Restoration: * Enervate skill sounds like a new form of innervate that will regen rage/energy or mana over 20 seconds. Not sure exactly how this will work (the translation sucks) but it sounds interesting none-the-less. * Natural Resilience talent increases mana regen by 30%. I wonder if this effects thinks like mana/5 and BoW, etc or just base mana regen. Interesting in either case. * Nature's Reprieve talent gives you free healing spells on targets below 20% health. In addition to free heals for rezzed players, this should have some interesting consequences in situations where people normally have to bandage b/c healers don't have anough mana to go around. Might not work that well with the long-casting HT, but should synergize well with rejuv and swiftmend. * Harmonize talent divides damage taken between all group members for 30 seconds. This is a big increase to a tank's effective health pool and might even make tranquility useful ;-) Sounds like I'm going to have an even harder time figuring out how to spec in the future! :-P Leaked Expansion Details - teske - 08-27-2006 Well the website you quoted, now thinks they are fake. Edit: The druid ones, they are pretty sure about all the other information. Leaked Expansion Details - MongoJerry - 08-27-2006 Here's a link to a ton of BC images, including pictures of mounts, new areas, and even the mage and priest tier 4 sets. http://www.worldofwar.se/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=317119 Leaked Expansion Details - MissileToad - 08-27-2006 Here ya go, something to keep the curious entertained for hours... A complete list of all spells and abilities from The Burning Crusade Tells you new spells and skills, new talents, new ranks of old skills, new enchants and craftables, all sorts of fun stuff. As far as information that has been speculated within the last few days, this verifies most all of it (though disproves the fake Druid talents/skills going around).
