Crit Immunity in Cataclysm, Big Love Rocket Drop Rate, Healer Shortages
There were a few posts by the blues yesterday aside from the StarCraft II Beta FAQ , including one where Ghostcrawler might have hinted at changes to the way tanks become crit immune , as well as a major change to resilience so that it might no longer reduce chance to be crit. It’s an interesting idea and could prove to help DPS / healer spec players switch to their tanking “stance” in emergencies and still manage ok. It also looks like the drop rate for the Big Love Rocket is abysmally low and intended to be so. Love is in the Air only has a few days left, so good luck getting yours if you’re trying for it! Quote Remove crit immunity from talents in Cataclysm ( Source ) Quote: – If a Warrior is in defensive stance, he/she gets -6% chance to be crit – If a Druid is in bear form, he/she gets -6% chance to be crit – If a Death Knight is in frost presence, he/she has -6% chance to be crit It’s too early for us to have a ton of confidence in how this will play out, but I suspect it will more likely be something like this than talents or mastery. Paladins would use Righteous Fury. This works even better if resilience does not reduce crit chance. Big Love Rocket drop rate ( Source ) The drop rate for this mount is indeed lower than 1-2% and that is intentional. We are okay with the number it is at right now and will continue to see how things for this event. Why there are healer shortages ( Source ) I’m not entirely sure what the goal of this thread was, but World of Warcraft is a game with a variety of play styles that are there for players to play and experience as they see fit. Just because you started out as a healer (or whatever else) doesn’t mean you need to stay that way forever. It is hard to really argue that doing the same exact thing for 5+ years won’t be taxing in some way. I know some people who love healing and in the situations where they end up DPSing (like when dropping down to two healers in a raid or something) they complain a bit that they don’t have as much impact on the raid. There are also the healer types that have nothing but healing specs since they want the responsibility of taking care of the raid and don’t want to put that in someone else’s hands (these people also tend to get especially irritated when these other healers are causing problems that they wouldn’t have done themselves). Then some others may end up being “forced” to heal a fair amount to help out the group and any good guild I’ve been with tries to prevent the situation where that one person ends up carrying the load week in and week out with no end in sight. What I’m getting at here is just to remind players that if you aren’t in the mood to do something anymore, try out something else. Whether that’s Battlegrounds or a hunter or changing to that other spec you haven’t had a chance to try out yet, give it a try and see how it goes. You may find a new style to play for the next few years or you may end up being good buddies again with your original play style. Forum Watch There are a few fun and interesting threads going on the forums right now. If you haven’t had a chance to participate in them yet, you definitely should! How much have you spent, and saved, on WoW since you started playing? What’s your “go-to” class resource/blog site? Do you read WoW blogs? Juddr needs your thoughts! Where will you go on your flying mount once Cataclysm releases? New Wallpaper: “FOR THE HORDE” Blizzard released a new official wallpaper last night of an Orc snowboarding in the Storm Peaks with “FOR THE HORDE” etched onto the bottom of his snowboard. Check it out !
