Kalgan / Tom Chilton has a comment in the warrior forum in response to the Deathwish / Sweeping strikes uproar from raiding Fury warriors:

Quote:PTR isn't updated with the new version of weapon mastery yet. It's a straight 4% dodge reduction (in addition to the disarm duration reduction).

Both arms (33/28 blood frenzy) and Fury (17 / 44) will have to 'trade off' to get this talent, but it should be well worth it. We may start seeing raid Fury builds without impale now.

This, when combined with the WW change, should make up for the damage loss from deathwish moving for Fury, probably and then some. It renders the 2/5 T5 buff even less useful than it was before (which was pretty useless for raiding warriors anyway.)

Aha!

I got the Orange box after arm-twisting to play TF2 from my friends but decided to look at the rest first. I've played Portal through twice in succession and am now trying the bonus scenes. The gold medal requirements seem, um, challenging.

This doesn't make much sense to me. It's not really a sacrifice for arms to get it right now, and it's probably too deep for fury. I also don't see what it has to do with impale.... unless I missed the blue post where they were moving it up in the tree or something.

Edit: ok, so they did move it up and switch it to Fury.

The Season 3 vendor was put up last night in Area 52, so sites such as MMO Champion have data on the new gear. The Season 3 vendor was then removed by Blizzard on the PTR, apparently because she was causing server crashes.

Why?

See here. Actual footage inside the building in Area 52 on the PvP PTR.

The war rages on, stupidly, and without point...

I'm just damned glad there's no premades on PTR this time. Don't have to fight with 4 zillion free-epix people who only came to PTR for the premades.

Warriors more or less dominate everyone equally when they're geared up. Shammies destroy Priests at all levels of gear in my experience:P

What an odd thing to say. You also must not know any good frost mages or ferals.

Being able to win duels is nice but neither of those is as valuable in Arena as a good Warrior.

Last night was fun. The S3 vendor was back, but was impossible to access due to the hundreds of people trying to get into the building, find her, and "shop" with her.

A GM appeared around 9:00 PM and started summoning bosses to clear out the crowd. First came Leotheras the Blind, then Al'ar, then Princess Huhuran, then Prince Malchezaar. I cut out at that point - people were calling for a C'Thun spawn, which I admit would have been amazing too see the beam damage totals as it spiked from player to player. Try to picture Prince Malchezaar standing in that little building - he didn't fit. It was pretty funny. Too bad he couldn't summon infernals.

This morning, the vendor is gone again. :)

Razorfen Downs - 34-37 (was 34-41)
Razorfen Kraul - 24-27 (was 24-31); no idea if the stupidly high quest level requirements were changed
Zul'Farrak - 43-46 (was 43-48) - I didn't check the level of the chief, assuming it's still the same as Antu'sul's
Shadowfang Keep - 18-21 (was 18-26)
Gnomeregan - 25-28 (was 25-34)
Sunken Temple - 47-50 (was 47-55)

Wasn't Archaedas a 'boss' mob? I'd imagine he could be left that way.

Absolutely huge for levelling. I've never done the Stromgarde quests simply because there was either never anyone in my level range or the place was deserted. Same with the STV Ogres. By the time I could get a group together for the Hinterlands elite stuff I was generally overlevelled.

Re: the instances, I took my rogue through RFK on the PTR and was still getting green BoP drops from a few of the subbosses. I thought they fixed that?

He hasn't been a boss mob for a really long time. He is presently 47 or 48 depending on your luck with the pRNG.

Quote:Dun Modr & Direforge Hill

I wonder if they lowered the level on these guys as well along with quest for Kam Deepfury in Stockade (you had to do Dark Iron War to get the quest to kill Kam Deepfury). It will be interesting to see if they swapped around quest lines at all like maybe making Kam Deepfury be the pre-requisite for Dark Iron War instead of vice versa the way it is now.

Also, I wonder what has happened to SM, I've heard tidbits here and there (like Doan being level 31), but nothing concrete as yet.
