Maybe the insane ratio on Mind Sear is because they intend for shadowpriests to be the premier AErs. With the nerf to VE, it makes a lot of sense. SPs would be one of the specs with the least utility, especiallyin 5-mans where VE was only a convenience in TBC to begin with. It never made sense, in the past, that the best AErs the classes were also the best utility classes (ie CC) not to mention 1st rate single target DPS. If shadowpriests are still not going to be allowed to "step on the toes" of main DPS, and are still going to have the smallest spell selection in practice of any class, and are not even going to provide infinite mana any more, it stands to reason that they should be good at something. Further, if moonkins can root indoors, and if the hex rank 1 data belongs to shaman, there's only about 3 specs left that don't fit into one of the main useful archetypes.

Mind Sear is an odd case for more than just its efficiency, though I'll start with that for now.

Does anyone have the stats on the max-rank of Mind Flay? I think that the big difference will be that it's less efficient by far, but far stronger on a single target. Thus, it is to be used in single-target throughput situations (Brutallus comes forcefully to mind).

As for the other odd hing, Mind Sear is only the second case of what is effectively a tank-directed AoE. What I mean by this is that every other AoE is either channeled in a specific location or is instant (the only example in-game is Seed of Corruption, and that has its own differences). What this means is unclear at the moment, but will inevitably be much more communication-based in raids than current AoE is.

Your wish is my command:

- Mind Flay rank 8: 320 mana, 30 yard range. 576 shadow damage over 3 sec.
- Mind Flay rank 9: 390 mana, 30 yard range. 690 shadow damage over 3 sec.

That's one of the reasons why I'm thinking it might be Nightmare over Mind Sear as well; no cooldowns on either spell either, and it seems odd that the AoE spell would be better single target damage too. Of course, the numbers are still subject to tweaks.

I meant 3 seconds in my post above for Nightmare by the way, not 1 second. My mistake. Though that does make it rather pitiful compared to the new Hurricane rank.

Just to nit-pick, the Voidwalkers get a school-specific, percentage damage reduction rather than actual resistance - Damage Reduction: Holy - Spell - World of Warcraft. Real resistance would give them a chance to resist a percent of each spell, not a guarantee to resist the same percent every time.

It's possible to get partial resists on holy (or at least it was back when people were Smiting Onyxia), but it's due to level-based resistance. AFAIK that hasn't changed.

 

Starfire

Resist All (such as Mark of the Wild) affects smite. It's real easy to prove. Find a mage with Mage Armor / Magic Absorbtion, give them Mark of the Wild, duel them and smite away.

You also used to be able to test this with doing Beast Lore on a Shapeshifted Druid with MoTW on.

The two spells probably have different coefficients, too. Give Mind Sear 1/3 of Mind Flay's coefficient, and there'll still be a reason to use the latter. (Though that is a pretty huge difference between their base DPS)

 

PsyBomb

AoE spells typically have 1/3 of the coefficient otherwise indicated (assuming default coefficient calculation), so this seems likely to actually occur. Even so, it'll take about 2500 +shadow before Mind Flay overtakes Mind Sear even for single-target throughput (just by napkin math, I could be very wrong).

Hmmm, looks like that theory might be right, after all. 2500 is NOT going to be particularly difficult to achieve, if Naxx25 is a tier of quality above SWP.

Of course, but I think most people think of them backwards as that is how we're used to seing them. We never get to design our own items so we don't know the itemlevel. Most of the time it's more interesting to get to it, than start at it. And well, it doesn't really make any difference.

I'm also sure that the item designers get assigned an ilevel range "Karazhan is level X epics at the start, and at the end it's level Y epics." and then they go make some items.

But the whole point is that enchants has never been a part of the item budget. Sockets however do cost a small amount. Sockets are however cheaper than normal stats usually (because of the lower amount) and you get to chose your own stat (though in most cases there's not much of a choice, but that's another issue).

But well a lot remains to be seen about the Blacksmithing gem adding to weapons. If it overwrites enchants it's useless. If it exists side by side then it's another gold sink you "must" pay when you get an upgrade. If it's self only, I doubt many will use it. A gem slot isn't that good, depends on the alternatives of course but if the trend from TBC continues then other professions will be far more worth it.

 

Rasputin

A blacksmithing gem slot which overwrites enchants isn't necessarily useless. You could use it to overwrite enchants on slots which don't have optimal enchants for your role. Put a strength gem in your boots, or healing in your cloak. It's certainly less powerful that way, but not useless.

 

Meddler

A single socket obviously isn't going to be worth keeping blacksmithing for by itself, as others have pointed out however if duel weilding it's potentially 2 sockets which is starting to get quite close to the benefits enchanting offers (WotLK ring enchants will offer +40 ap each, it's not unreasonable to assume +30AP gems may be in the pipeline). Additionally there may well be some significant other benefits from blacksmithing, so at this stage it's premature to write it off - all we've got is evidence that a less than optimal profession for high end raiding may get either a source of income or an additional profession perk (in addition to other changes to the attractiveness of blacksmithing and other alternative professions), neither of which would be a bad sign for it.

Mind Sear is explicitly mentioned in the Focused Mind talent. It's Mind Sear.

This is more interesting than it looks. Given that Blizzard have already stated that stats on gear won't be ramping up as drastically from T6 to T7 as they did from T3 to T4, it seems that raid buffs will contribute a larger proportion of the total statistics than they currently do.

Example: currently a Paladin receives 49 MP5 from a talented BOW; with a total of 200-250 MP5 raid buffed being fairly typical, that's 20-25% of the total from the buff. At level 80, a talented BOW will return 100 MP5. Can we expect that Paladins will typically have 400-500 MP5 at level 80? I don't think so. It seems more likely that Paladin MP5 will be in the region of 300-350, which would make BOW worth 28-33% of the total. Even if I'm out by 50 on the range, the worst case in WOTLK would still match the best case in TBC.

I don't want to speculate until I've seen enough lvl80 gear to accurately judge the increased efficacy of buffing, but I suspect Blizzard of trying to make brute forcing encounters an alternative to balanced raid composition, instead of the other way round.

 

Deathwing

I know this is well beyond jumping to conclusions, but won't this encourage raid stacking even more?

 

Soul

Actually, I was thinking that this would be a concern: are buffs going to be so strong that in general, classes are underpowered without them? We do see MMOs where you really do need to be in party to accomplish, like, anything. One of WoW's strengths was that you could solo stuff with any class. If buffs become insanely strong, some of this might be lost...

As a corollary to this, are buffs becoming so powerful relative to a player's unbuffed strength because Blizzard wants to discourage ironmanning content?

 

Feorthas

Well, world-based--or non-instance based if you prefer that description--content could stick with the current 'easy to manage' theme that WoW has always had, making groups for leveling non-mandatory; however, it could be possible that instancing in general, or at least raiding, may require a decent spread of these new, more powerful, buffs in order to accomplish anything of note. I guess that would promote a somewhat more balanced raid--or at least encourage resto-Druids to pick up Imp. HotW as 35% of 40-ish per--stat becomes noticeable!--but only time, and more data, will truly tell.

I'm almost completely certain that the solo-friendly leveling/farming part of WoW will remain just as accessible as it currently is though (if not moreso!).

 

Meddler

Increasingly powerful synergies/buffs would also have the impact of altering PVP balance in favour of teams that complemented each other in buffs terms, rather than necesssarily in play style terms. To pick a simplistic example the more powerful group buffs become the more attractive a combination like Shaman/Warrior, both of which offer at least some benefit to the other, becomes compared to say Rogue/Mage which works because skills complement not because of buffs like windfury to each other. Not necessarily a bad thing (and the class combo's mentioned are simply the first that leapt to mind, not to make any other point about relative power/effectiveness) but the impact does spread beyond group PVE content.

 

Northerner

We used a Hunter (old GM) quite often as a tank. Although he did do Leo once when our FR 'lock was away, he started doing Illidan regularly just because he liked to.

It works really quite well.

 

Malleus

That depends on whether you consider ensuring you have a Druid, Mage, Priest and three Paladins to be raid stacking. I was thinking about fights where you know there's X amount of AOE damage, so you take five COH Priests and two Resto Shammies. What I'm anticipating is fights tuned so that in entry-level gear for the encounter, having a full range of buffs will push you to the point where you don't need to stack quite so hard. Once you have the gear, you can stop worrying about the buffs and take it down with whoever.

Here's something to consider. With the nerf to Vampiric Touch a Shadow Priest will probably be worth around 200 MP5 to his group, but Blessing of Wisdom will be worth 100 MP5 to every mana user in the raid. Taking an extra Holy Paladin in the healers just became a viable alternative to bringing a Shadow Priest. Any loss in regen is compensated for by a small increase to raid DPS and the mana flow continuing regardless of whether the buffer is casting.

Collection of new spells I spotted that were possible to link to a class or profession, and a few unknown spells that seem likely to be player spells but were not easily linked to a profession. Bold marks additions beyond simple damage increases and new spells; for sections that are all new stuff the bolding has not been included. Italics means that the spell is very likely to be changed (In case of hunters and the new pet abilities these are all marked with italics as hunter development wasn't supposed to have started yet). Talents are not included. Cast times are excluded as well as the method I used to gather this information seems to have bugged that part of the data.

For most spells only the changes to it's effect strength have been reported as that was the only change to the spells.

Additionally it's also somewhat interesting how existing spells are found in between the WotLK data. Most of the Mage spells (Including the new ones) and a few of the Death Knight spells were actually in between spells used by the mobs and bosses in Zul'aman. As we go along most of the new enchants were in between abilities used in Sunwell; some of the enchants added in Sunwell are actually newer than some of the WotLK enchants with stronger effects. The decision to give players spells that allow you to move others around against their will is very recent, all player spells that do so have high Spell IDs than the spells used in Sunwell do.

A few footnotes and comments. To avoid multiquoting, I've put my additions inside the quote box and emboldened them.

 

Boywithrage

I sure do hope there's going to be a lot of angry angry mobs in Lich, anyone else see Bloodbath as being more of a protection spell than an arms or fury one? I can't see any arms/fury warr taking on 5 mobs solo even whilst grinding. Seeing how I'm planning to level as protection I see it as a nice bonus to the 'AoE' tanking repertoire as such.

[e] Also, I wonder if after a mob enrages and rend was previously applied and ticking over into the enrage period, if rend refreshes itself, or whether you can simply wait for a mob to enrage before applying rend. Or maybe you have to have rend on before the enrage before the multiplying effect to become active, whereby further reapplications of rend take the 4xdamage benefit.

 

Druitt

The only problem is that this is alpha. Druids got all kinds of wonderful buffs announced last time and they were there in beta. Excitement, excitement! They even showed up in release. To be severely cut a couple of month later, when somehow months of alpha, beta, and even initial release testing turned out to be wrong.

Not arguing that the Druid nerfs were totally wrong or that they didn't eventually get it right, but it just makes it hard to get excited about anything new in the game. Oooo, they buffed thorns, which is otherwise useless at present. Unless they then cut it back to a 10% buff and call it "balanced".

 

Shandara

These seem rather big increases over the TBC ranks, which is a good thing, I guess. Especially the Mend Pet ranks are very welcomed.. rank 10 is more than double that of rank 8.

For comparison I've listed the TBC max ranks in the above quote. Notice how the mana costs for each spell will practically double. It makes me wonder how they'll itemize our gear, because it seems we will need a far larger mana pool than we currently have. Especially with Steady Shot remaining our spammable attack the mana costs has more than doubled. Looking at Aimed shot and Multi-Shot I'm reminded of the TBC beta testing where the bonus damage on them were eventually adjusted downwards.

The new Viper Sting rank seems.. a bit excessive. 3092 base mana drain means 4019 with 5/5 improved stings. Even with WotLK mana pools that will be a very hefty chunk for classes who will also have to deal with higher mana usage because of their class' new ranks of spells.

EDIT: The trend seems to be 'more than double the mana cost, less than double the effect' for most spells.

As shandara has said the damage/healing of the new ranks has shown a big increase in damage (as a big mana cost).

What I find interesting though is that the efficiency in terms of health/mana or damage per mana has dropped significantly.

Take the paladins consecration for example. Going from our current rank to the max rank listed here, the base damage has increase by 32%, but the base mana cost has increase by 123%. Similar things can be seen with the healing spells etc for the paladin. Even after reduced spell coefficient of current ranks is taken into account the efficiency is still far lower than what we have at the moment.
