This straight from the PTR;<BR/><BR/>'might be a bug, or it might be intended but dp only returns ~15% of the hp on ptr. Also it doesnt work with twisted faith (no 5% increase)'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434954756598017230.post-30248151095134322008-09-19T01:07:00.000+01:002008-09-19T01:07:00.000+01:00Argh!!!

Yeah, I know..it bumped me out of shadow, but many a time that little brightness kept my dwarfy body going. And with the potion sickness happening.... *deep sigh*. Oh fine, yes I always liked the pretty sparkly AOE but meh.. I'd rather save my life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434954756598017230.post-77614618814586707432008-09-16T16:44:00.000+01:002008-09-16T16:44:00.000+01:00@the first anonymous...Well, I'm aware there's a b...@the first anonymous...<BR/><BR/>Well, I'm aware there's a big question mark over the implementation of a baseline dp. But I've decided on this occasion to quit whining and start embracing the changes :)<BR/><BR/>I notice the people who are hit hardest by the removal of racials seem to be pvp priests. That would explain why I don't really appreciate the impact. But I wouldn't have removed them given a chance. I really think faiths would have worked beautifully.Merlothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12268596977879215079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434954756598017230.post-4401878370411156552008-09-16T16:18:00.000+01:002008-09-16T16:18:00.000+01:00Noooo!!!!

That is that the new Devouring Plague will be the same as it is now except for being castable every 30 secs and having a 'much reduced mana cost'. If you think that you're living in cloud cuckoo land imo. <BR/><BR/>Having a high damage dot that gives 100% damage returned as health every 30 secs with a 'much reduced mana cost' would be massively overpowered. Blizzard wouldn't give us that as a 51 point talent never mind a baseline spell. I'm sure you're going to see this spell either have it damage nerf'd drastically or more like have the baseline health return reduced to 20% or less. <BR/><BR/>On top of this as well remember it's a disease. There are lots of mobs immune to it, all dwarves can stoneform it, mages can iceblock it, all healers can cure it except druids but I'm sure their hots will make it irrelevant anyway. Plus for those other classes who have no defence for it there is always the potion of curing, something that I always carry on my hunter and rogue. (Potion of curing is a 120 alchemy skill potion, world drop with cheap ingrediants and cures poisons and diseases).<BR/><BR/>I admit I'm a bit annoyed about this change for another reason. As a troll priest I loved Shadowguard. A lot of people say its rubbish or has little use but tbh I think that is mainly because most people either have never used it or don't know how to use it properly.<BR/><BR/>Its a spell that proc's off everything melee, ranged and spells. Causes good damage at higher levels and proc's blackout pretty well. Saved my ass many times...it has a fantastic synergy with the rest of the shadow tree as well. There wasn't anything better to get shadoweaving up quickly. Just got to hope that it might be added to the shadow tree now especially if it had a damage buff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
