Something went fubar with my patch download/install so I'm reading up on it while waiting for stuff to download and install. Very sad panda who needs his 2.4 fix.
The Shifting Perspectives druid blog at Wowinsider has some good info that's relevant to recent 2.4-centric discussions here. I'm hoping y'all log your impressions on 2.4 after playing for a bit. If not, whatever, I hope y'all are having fun in game. : )
Here's the biggies that caught my eye:
The "swipe doesn't break cc" change did NOT go live according to this guy. That true? That's cool, imho, as I think it'd take the skill out of multimob tanking and promote laziness in positioning.
Weightstones working in forms and the bleeding-ness of ghosts and mechanicals both went live. Cool and cool...I bought my weightstones before the patch in case the price goes up since their market just opened up.
We can buy the blue "Arena 0.5" gear for gold from faction vendors with honored rep? I'd missed that, and figured it'd still cost honor and tokens and stuff that I never have as a PvE'r. Wonder how much they'll cost? : ) Don't think there'll be any upgrades for me but it'd be great for fresh 70s, and if they're cheap enough I'll hook myself up with a little battleground set. Nice to have a little resilience for a change, and the movement speed boost will be nice.
Dragonhide Battlegear
* Dragonhide Helm (Lower City)
* Dragonhide Spaulders (Sha'tar)
* Dragonhide Robe (Thrallmar)
* Dragonhide Legguards (Cenarion Expedition)
* Dragonhide Gloves (Keepers of Time)
I also noticed that the drop rate of "depleted" stuff up on blade's edge plateau (badge anyone?) was increased. Interesting to see what that does for the farmability and cost of our favorite Badge of Tenacity.
