This reply is a bit off-topic. Is fire going to be more viable for PvE like it was in BC?


And also there are new glyphs:
Quote:
* Glyph of Arcane Intellect: Reduces the mana cost of your Arcane Intellect and Arcane Brilliance spells by 50%.
* Glyph of Slow Fall - Your Slow Fall spell no longer requires a reagent.
* Glyph of Fire Ward: You have an additional 5% chance to reflect Fire spells while your Fire Ward is active.
* Glyph of Frost Ward: You have an additional 5% chance to reflect Frost spells while your Frost Ward is active.
* Glyph of Ice Armor: Increases the duration of your Frost Armor and Ice Armor spells by 30 min.

As I understand it, all specs are meant to be viable in all endeavors. Obviously, it will be impossible to fully balance them, and some will bring a bit more utility and a bit less damage, but overall they should be close.

Hmm, not bad at all. When was burnout changed again to being 5% of mana cost of the spell increase? (although it is 50% additional damage on the spell crits).

/cry - I knew the Elemental Super Charged Mana Battery was to good. The "slow" talent seems very good now especially with the arcane subtlety talent to reduce the chance of dispell and torment of the weak to add damage. 15 seconds is a long time in arena or bg's to have your movement and casting time slowed.

grats Anobix...

wonder what this will do to fire Mages in raids. Over using pyro could give us mana problems if we could stave off the aggro.

I just wonder how the mana stuff is going to work out. My RL friend and I had a chat today for about 20 minutes (while the wife was tapping her foot) about how mana regen mechanics are currently broken/etc. If they get it worked out if can be quite possible. I am thinking that frostfire/scorch rotation will be good. Possibly leading to one mage being frost one being fire (with the positive talents out of each deep side for the utility/damage as possible = WE for the party/raid regen).

Supposidly right now the regen mechanics works as a buff called rejuvination (not the druid hot) or something like that that currently refreshses on damage (shadow, pally damage, survival hunter damage) and ticks for .5% per second for 15 seconds. The issue is that the buff is refreshing before any ticks can go off. It affects the bottom 10 people that have %-wise (as I understand it) the lowest mana.

Lulz. this is almost exactly like a talent I suggested half a year ago (on this site, though, so I doubt Blizz copied me :<) to make fire raiding more fun.

Good show.

Someone was saying that potion sickness hasn't been showing up in beta lately, though someone else said the debuff itself wasn't showing up, but the effect was still there. I'm not sure what to believe.

So am I right in thinking WE now returns 7.6% of the raids mana assuming it stay alive for the duration? (Based on 12 ticks in the minute it's alive - tell me if my maths sucks)

Will anyone even notice that?

I realise it was probably a bit OTT before, but going from 36% mana to 7.6% is rather a large reduction.

Regarding FoF I guess I'll wait for the TC to tell me if I should do 2xFB or FB and the one that should stun (can't remember it's name right now).

Wait what? Slow will make me move slower but cast or shoot faster?

Edit: "Rapid Fire Increases ranged attack speed by 40% for 15 seconds." Just so you you can see why I'm confused.

This is how I try to read it so it would make some sence. Ok that would be quite OP(?) so I think that if you slow someone you better make sure he/she don't catch you with those fast attacks or casts.

Don't need another mage or warlock for the fire synergy anymore. I like that.

The mana regen buff is called Replenishment. The VT from spriests will give about 60% less mana than it does now, but it can affect 10 people at the same time. Survival hunters and ret pallies can also give mana back, the same buff I think, but I have heard that in the case of hunters, as the talents are now, in order to get this mana baterry ability they will have to lose other important hunter stuff (not enough talent points to reach all or something like that).
So we will probably have to get used to no more potion chugging, but we will have 2 or 3 (even 4 with shaman totem) mana batteries and also the increased regeneration from the new spirit itemization.

Unless they've changed something, that's not entirely accurate. Assuming 100% buff uptime, the buff will give someone with a 10k mana pool as much mana regen as a spriest that does 1k dps does now. The big difference will be in the scaling, and that it'll make a lot more sense to stack some Int for healers especially in the future.

Unfortunately, to make use of the regeneration from spirit, we'll either have to spec into Arcane(at least partially) or have mage armor up constantly.
