Changes Coming in WOTLK (info)

[metalmaiden]

kk this is my second attempt to contribute to the community, please dont be too too rough on me =( just a leecher trying to give back. this is general information but its also tank related.

this is just all the things that are being said that is coming in wotlk for those of you that don't know all the details.

Come WOTLK there will be no more bear mount in ZA. So get it while you can.
T3 Will no longer be obtainable ingame either.

Resilience will no longer apply in PVE or outside a duel.
so for all the tanks out there that became uncrittable by resil alone
your gear will be useless pve come next patch.

All tanks will noticed an increased amount of dps come WOTLK.
Blizzards goal is to make every class/spec viable in arena.

Blizzard is also removing Crushing blows from the game. Among the many reasons for this, one of the motivating factors is they wanted to give every tanking class in the game an opportunity to become the guild main tank.
AKA you can have an entire raid with no warrs and still make it through easy.


Blizzard is trying to modify the loot tables on all the bosses to give you a better chance to get loot if you participate in a raid.
before 1 boss had to drop too much loot and sometimes it would drop pieces no one in the raid can use. For this reason Blizzard is kinda standardizing the gear so more than one class can benefit fully from the same piece of gear..

With that come WOTLK druids and rogues will share gear.
Paladins can use the same gear they have on to DPS or heal
(all gear will be spell dmg from now on not +healing)
Mages and Locks and Priests can use the same gear.


Illidan will now be tankable by any tanking class ( druid,warr,pally,etc)
he will no longer use his Shear attack.

As far as beta and ptr are concerned there will no longer be an "honor only" pvp set. everything will cost a mix of honor and arena points.

Wintergrasp will be the new world pvp arena, capturing the points will give everyone in the area present during the capture arena points and honor.

Every set but the blue PVP one will have a personal rating requirement.

Most abilities are being modified to cost a % of total base mana.
the key word here is "BASE". most people on the forums panic at the costs but the base mana is the amount of mana you have if you had no gear on.
some prices are going up a tad others are going to stay the same for the most part.

There will be no lower ranking in WOTLK. so for those healers that spam lower ranks of heals you will be penalized and the lower ranks will actually cost more mana.

Blacksmiths will be able to actually Add a socket to your gear come WOTLK

Inscriptions purpose will be to make you scrolls ( like the normal scrolls you see ingame now) and also will be able to make glyphs for your character that will give you buffs.


there will be 2 major glyphs allowed on use at a time per character.
2 middle glyphs,
and 2 minor glyphs that are mostly for cosmetic use and have no real advantage.


glyphs are replaced like gems when you put another in its place so you will need more than one of your chosen glyphs to be able to alternate between them. There is a 1 hour cooldown every time you change glyphs.

Enchanters can actually enchant Scrolls made by inscription in the game now for resale.

Naxx 10 man will be the new Karazhan. Your rep with argent dawn will be invalid for the New Naxx.

All arena points and personal ratings will be reset come WOTLK.
it has not yet been confirmed if honor will be reset.

Thats what I have for now, I hope this was useful to someone and someone got to learn off of it.

=D:wave:

I just been really interested in WOTLK and have gone around and researched all the upcoming small changes and tweaks and wanted to share them.

you wont find all that text copy/pasted from anywhere.

dont rep me if you dont want to, but dont make false accusations . i really did type that up myself.

[monkey11111]

[MooseBoi]

plox dont copy from other sites!

[manowarlock]

At mooseboi, unless you read the entire page i suggest you dont speak. Also unless you prove he did that, LEAVE him ALONE. i havnt seent hsi text around anywhere on the web, and im pretty sure he typed it himself.


So either find proof or stfu calling him a c/p or w/e.

At poster, kinda cool you cpompiled it all but it doesnt deserve rep imo, its just basic knowledge of whats happening so far, and with a few quick searches on wow forums and mmo champion, arena junkie etc, you can find this stuff.


Good your trying to contribute though mate

It's 3 major and 3 minor.

No, there isn't any cooldown.

No, there isn't any cooldown.

I remember they added a "Lexicon of Power" requirement for changing glyphs, but wotlkwiki doesn't give much more detail about what else was changed.

[Sampay]

Jesus ... like ****ing children ... especially mooseboi .. what the f*ck man he just explained himself, try atleast to get some proof ??

Mages and Locks and Priests can use the same gear.

Actually its not spell damage, its spell POWER which will give you both bonus damage and bonus healing. The healing you get from spell power will be a little less than 2 times the power itself and the damage will be same as the power.

If you look at items like Band of Enchanted Growth or Globule Signet and move your mouse over the "Equip: Increases spell power by X" you will see the bonus healing it grants.

And this is both good and bad thing. Good is that healers will be able to do alot better dps than they do now. Bad is that there will be alot more people to roll over items. For example if you're in instance and ring with +Int, +Stam and Spell power drops, every caster types, including healers will roll on it. So less chance that you will get the item.

And just to add that there is no longer Spell crit, Spell haste, Melee crit, Melee haste or anything else like that because Critical rating will grant both spell and melee crit and haste both spell and melee haste.
