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.

  • Lava Surgers in Molten Core will no longer spawn once Ragnaros has been defeated.

  • Ragnaros is no longer immune to Paladins’ Hand of Reckoning.
  • Fixed a bug interrupting eating or drinking when near a graveyard.
  • Fixed a bug where the incorrect version of Quel’Serrar could appear in this version of the game.
  • [With weekly restarts] The increased damage taken for low Fire Resistance in Molten Core on Heat 2 and Heat 3 has been reduced but is still extremely dangerous. Characters who are at 30 resistance lower than intended should now expect to take about 3 times normal damage (was guaranteed fatal).
    • Developers’ notes: This is intended to allow players who are dependent on Resistance Totems or Paladin Auras to have a chance to survive if briefly not within the range of those effects.
  • Hunter
    • [With weekly restarts] Entrapment now triggers a diminishing return as a Root effect on players each time it is applied. Subsequent durations will be halved and then quartered in duration, and then the target will become immune for 30 seconds.

    • The Warrior 2-piece Tier 1 bonus Tactician will no longer be consumed if the spell cast was a free Blood Surge Slam.

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

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

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?

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?

  • Mage
    • Mass Regeneration range for detecting allies to heal increased to 43 yards (was 30), to eliminate the situation where it was possible to heal others who were outside the range for your heal to apply to yourself.
  • 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).

Please update mage Greater Decurse also to 40y, its so annoying all heal spells being 40y and decurse being 30y

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.

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

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

“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

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