Is there a reason why https://www.wowhead.com/classic/item=227823/fine-flarecore-gloves are restricted to mages, warlocks and priests? Balance druids have super bad fire resistance gear to begin with and leatherworking does not help. Only high armor, stamina and fr while melee gets AP and crit/hit.

Season of Discovery

  • Players who have the 18-slot version of the Bottomless Bag may now exchange the bag or the Pattern for the 20-slot version at Rix Xizzix in Booty Bay.

Good one on the DR for hunter trap guys, it was needed.

240

Is that all you do to nerf shamans while hunter finally gets a DR?

241

Nerf? It was a bug to begin with…and now its fixed. Do you think it was a buff for paladins with the reckoning fix aswell?

242

I know that you dont read these forums.

But now that Palas have steadfast with no damage reduction on a full immunity ability.
Shamans having freedom.
Mages having displacement.
Rogues having shadowstep with no GCD.
Warriors having death grip and intercept / charge / intervene removing roots.

Where is the mobility for the agile hunter class - where is our disengage from wrath? You know the most fun ability from wrath for us?
Where is the mobility for locks?

Why are we the two classes left to face retail mobility with classic mobility?

Disengage from wrath needs to be added as a base hunter ability asap (not a rune).
Warlocks (non meta form) need to get the portal TP or something. Hell you could even give destro / affli locks a shroud that lets them go invis + movement speed for a few seconds - so they can reposition when a freaking pala-shaman-mage-rogue-warrior-feral opens on them, or should they all just play meta SL?

  • Priest
    • Homunculi now cast and stack Sunder Armor relative to the rank they would have if they were a Warrior of their level.
      • Developers’ notes: This takes the place of their casting Degrade previously. Now a friendly Warrior can refresh a Homunculi’s 5 stack of Sunder Armor. The strength of this debuff at max level is unchanged.
    • Spirit of the Redeemer will now correctly put Pain Suppression and Dispersion on a two-minute cooldown (was incorrectly 5 minutes).
246

247

Please Update warlock Drain Life also to 36y, its so annoying all affliction spells being 36y and drain life being 25y

how about y’all listen to the community and nerf shamans/orc racial hard? literally clueless clowns working at your place and shameless ngl.

249

You mean the two three guys who constantly whine because they are bad at their class… that “community” ?
I hope they ban you for being so rude

250

I’d say all arcane spells to at least 36y. 40y would be great.

251

“two three guys”
good troll, there’s more than those “two three guys”, but counting isn’t what shamans can do. PvP community is pretty unified regarding the fact that shamans need to be nerfed hard. Those shaman/horde trolls are just coping over there.

not against their ToS, trolling is however. basically what the shaman and horde copers are doing all the time

252

Shamans will be untouched, get ready for bubble nerf <3
