Dare I say that this will be the peak of Metzen's achievements if he messes around with the lore enough to justify why we have a troll raid on a planet that isn't even Azeroth in 6.1 or later. Or a new low, depending on how you look at it.

Wow insider has a preview of the 100 talents as they are now. Death knights get defile or necrotic plague and locks can summon infernals or doomguards as perma pets. I may be masturbating again.

Master the Basics:Passive. When you critically strike with an autoattack, you gain an additional combo point on your target.

So if they are doing this massive squish, how does this affect my weekly feel-good raids on Molten Core and AQ?
They have said that the squish should not impact your ability to solo old content. Guess we will have to wait and see.

The one level 100 talent I don't get is the destro lock one that nerfs the fuck out of incin/conflag dmg (75% less dmg), but grants 400% more ember generation. So I can cast chaos bolt more often, which usually is only cast when conflag is on CD because it's a DPS loss to chain cast Chaos Bolt and it's better to spam incin/conflag? Derp?

I don't think it's been a dps loss to cast chaos bolts in chain for some time, especially at high crit.

Oh come on. This is easy.

Caverns of Time. DONE.

It's the go to for easy content/lore when they need to push some shit out.

The fact they wont even comment on potential release timing for this is somewhat disturbing and I cant imagine the shareholders would be amused.

"We are one calendar year out from your last expansion and you have completed your last content update. Your subscription numbers are dropping steadily... what are you doing to rectify this?"

"We announced a new expansion"

"So this will be released and increase subscriptions this quarter?"

"Ummm... "

"Next quarter then?"

"We have our free to play game going into open beta this quarter with cash shop enabled!"

"..."


The thing is not that their subscription numbers are still much higher than anyone else, but that they are dropping. Corp types don't see the glass as ever half full but rather obsess on the money that they think is being left on the table.

Seven new dungeons at launch, four for leveling, three for max level.
All dungeons will have Normal, Heroic, and Challenge Mode.
I could've sworn they said that having a normal and a heroic version of a max level dungeon was redundant now with challenge modes. If they are Cata-level difficulty, you'll have to farm the 3 regulars for a while before moving on to any heroics. But if it's MoP/Wrath level, you'll skip the lvl 100 regular modes entirely and jump into heroics.

"So at Wildstar release then?!"

I think it HAS to be out before May. I'm 100% sure they know that too. Frankly, I think it has to be out by March, but I'd settle for May. Still..that's 9 months of Siege normal, 8 months of that LFR.

So I haven't heard if they have made all spells castable on the move yet. True/false?

At least some of the new talents seem to enhance abilities rather than add new ones. EDIT: Bleh but not most.

Any word about reducing bloat by consolidating shitty abilities?
