Inscription will be added soon then, I'm hoping glyphs will also be available right away.

I'm more worried about the LW nerf however. Tinnitus will make drums a lot less valuable, and any guilds currently struggling with brutallus might see their total DPS drop a fair bit. It remains to be seen how much the new talents, and perhaps glyphs can offset that though.

And I do have to wonder how people will kill Illidan with the changes to Shield Block vs Sheer.

Have they sorted out the Potion Sickness yet ? Or will that impact Raiders too ?

I actually misread the portal Gadgetzan thing. Was wondering what the nifty bit about it would be when Engineers can already teleport there until the 'portal' bit dawned. Still not sure what the great part about it is when there's a portal to CoT from Shattrath.

Paladin tanks ftw?

It seems likely all the threat changes, raidwide buffs, tanks needing strength, potion sickness and smooth mana/energy regen will be added as well.

How useful will the Shattrath portal be at level 80, when your hearth stone is set to Dalaran and you want to go and run CoT: Stratholme?

This may seem farfetched, but maybe, just maybe, a new portal to the place will be added in Dalaran?

There are portals in Dalaran to Ironforge, Stormwind, Darnassus, Exodar and Shattrath City.

Weren't there also some rings you could buy that let you port to Dalaran? Could mitigate the need to keep your hearth there as well assuming said rings are still around.

It'd a few minutes work to change the cooldown on Sheer. That's the kind of change which is quick and easy to make.

Dozer · 08/26/08, 2:44 PM

That's Shear madness!

The Shattrath-->Caverns portal NPC really took a lot of value out of (gnomish) engineering. None of the goblin towns are anywhere that makes having a portal there exciting, especially with all the new ways to get to/from Dalaran.

Zurgat · 08/26/08, 5:29 PM

Perhaps Hyjal will be opened some day. There's a portal there now after all, it's just blocked off.

How much of the last two pages have been on topic? Shear and Dalaran and all the rest of it can surely be discussed in the general wotlk thread.

I don't think the injector will be very popular unless it provides more charges than it consumes. Few reasons:

- Only one potion per combat
- Lots of bag space being freed up by mounts & pets getting out of inventory
- Bigger bags being available
- Many people might still carry different potions: the equivalents of: mad alchemist, super rejuvenation, fel mana...

It doesn't seem like a worthwhile way to save 3-6 slots since odds are 20-40 mana potions will tide you over any single raid (unless you are forced to chug them down on trash).

Reinhars · 08/27/08, 8:13 AM

Something I really hate with the injector is that you can not recharge it.
You have 3 potions left, you have to carry another one.
For a gizmo which sole utility is to save bagspace, it's baaaad.

Stopokingme · 08/27/08, 8:19 AM

Actually, you can recharge it, all it does is change it from 4 stacks of 5 into a single stack of 20, though if you mean just dragging and dropping some potions on it to refill, then indeed, no you can't.
