Warrior (Skills / Talents / Glyphs)
Arms

* Sudden Death - This Execute only uses up to 30 total rage. (GC on Sudden Death change)

Blizzard have to be warrior haters for nerfing warrior dps in this stage of the game.
Paladins are op, DK's are op, but noooo nerf warriors.
This is happening since the vanilla and i am sick of it.

One of the most annoying abilities in the game, possibly on par with Mace Stuns.

What I do like here is the way they've changed dispel resistances to only affect DoTs and beneficial spells, no more:

You cast Cleanse.
Your Cleanse failed, Xxlegolasxx's Viper Sting resisted.
You cast Cleanse.

You fail to cast Cleanse, you are out of mana.

I'm abit unsure as to how this new dispel system works.

Lets say I have Siphon life, Corruption and fear on one target, I guess the new dispell will always target that fear first if it's casted.

But what if I have Siphon life, Corruption, UNSTABLE AFFLICTION and Fear on the same target, what will happen if dispell is casted??

As long as my AU "protects" my fear I think this is awsome.

Tempered TitanSteel Helmet is keeping its new sockets I hope ?

I am not sure exactly how it will work but I suppose that the selection of spell will still be "random". The change is that Fear will not be protected by the talent.

Not sure if this is new, I didn't see it noted in official patch notes:

Inscription
Ethereal ink now learned at 290.

(This used to be a block to levelling inscription).

I found this by coincidence just now on PTR, my hunter needed it.

vulmio · 01-09-2009, 04:35 PM

Could someone test if the glyph of execution works with the new sudden death please ?

DSRilk · 01-09-2009, 08:35 PM

Okay, the S&D glyph needed a nerf, it was just too cool. I am grateful for the new glyph of the ghoul however. But what REALLY makes me sad is the loss of the new BS sword. Yes, I can see the reasoning, but that was my best shot of being able to get a sword with the supercool skin of our original starting sword. Instead, I'm stuck with this big, stupid mace... <sigh>

Polymorph - Penguin - Range reduced to 8 yards from 30.

Is this part for real? It seems a bit unnecessary. I'm thinking that for a glyph that is purely aesthetic adding a penalty puts it amoung the least desirable glyphs in the game.

Next we're going to see:
Glyph of the Polar Bear - Cause Dire Bear form to appear as a Polar Bear but removes the armor and health bonuses of Dire Bear form.

April fool's joke a little early or just pure fail in design?

I hope scribes will get they own pimped version of Greater inscription of the Gladiator, otherwise their special profession bonus will become useless in certain situations and beside their pimped shoulder enchants scribes don't really get anything that is worthy. Its expensive to level up and its not really generating to much wealth at max level.

I agree with Albertmarty! Its no point in using a glyph that gives a visual upgrade and has decreases the range of your spell.
