Earlier than you expected?

My Steam Profile (Aether) Cherish the difference between 58° and 59°.

There are premade characters...copied one, but still downloading the client, so no idea what they have on them.

I just crit swiftmend for 3k. Reports are unverified as to whether this was accompanied by the sound of a grown man squealing like a little girl.

The change to Imp. Shadowbolt was welcome, fair raid dps boost there. Also, hurray for consumable cooldown streamlining.

Patch Notes aren't up yet but you can get them here:

Strange. I don't see the Vitality talent mentioned that was supposed to give prot-spec Warriors a 10% stamina bonus. Maybe it is in the tree for the expansion pack, not 1.11.

Can you post the details on SwiftMend? Mana cost, amount healed, cooldown, etc.? I know we had numbers from before but I'll believe them more when we see it on PTR.

 

saramin

Exact same as was posted. It does take +heal into account and does invoke the global cooldown.

I am surprizingly interested in the improvements to ZG and AQ20 loot. I am hoping that the Epic AQ20 cape might be a welcome alternative to cloak of the shrouded mists / cape of the black baron.

 

Krag

Looking forward to seeing the ZG/AQ20 changes too, but the european server holding the copy characters isn't up yet :/

Oh god the Horde Druids are HIDEOUS I do not regret Bad's horns anymore.

And wtf, they gave us Cloth bracers?

 

• Zellyn

Hah, Blizzard: WE ARE SUBTLE.

Also, I was grinning through most of the patch notes, which, incidentally, can be found here.

Now I need to decide which 'goofing around' classes I should choose before we get to bring our real characters over...

Warrior starts with full Wrath, Styleen's, Maladath, Blessed Qiraji Bulwark and Ashkandi in the backpack. Wrath Helm and Legs have the Mage ZG enchant on them, though. O_o

 

Ultramax

That's not the mage ZG enchant, however.

Ataraxia

Good call. I've got +15 Spell Damage and +1% Spell Crit on my head and legs and now I know where it came from.

Vitality is present despite not being in the patch notes and I also have 56 talent points currently.

Rogue ZG items got a 14 AP, 2 Sta upgrade (chest untouched).

Rogue AQ items got 3 AP, 6 Agi, 4 Sta upgrade (dagger was untouched, assume all epic rewards were.)

So, minor upgrades but nothing to be upset about.

Time to guilt some (other) druids into speccing Swiftmend.

 

Twid

So I actually got into a Naxxramas PUG, and we did some attempts on the Spider boss, Anub'askdjflksomething. I won't say any spoilers, but a real nice thing is that it appears the devs are watching pretty much every 40 man group that goes in there. We had some major disconnect on release issues, so he spawned an innkeeper in the instance to let us hearth into Naxxramas. Also up was a permanent repair bot, reagent vendor, and poison vendor.

So they look like they really want this instance to turn out better than AQ started out.

*Edit* I also exported all of the data from my experiences with the boss, and I'm looking for a solid program to help parse it out. Anyone have good experiences with one in particular that is available to the public? (ie: not a guild internal parser)

 

Springbeard

Is that in EU or US? That's pretty awesome if it's both, though. May encourage me to pop on later.

 

Chupa

Yep, they did that for us when we tested Ossirian on the AQ PTR. I don't know how closely they kept their eyes on random PUG's though.

 

phixion

I can't download the PTR patch. The blizz downloader just sits at 0%. Anyone have any outside links?

 

Nereid

Yeps, EU is nowhere near getting that kind of service in PTR's. We dont even have working servers, yet devs actually caring about whats going on there. Being second class customer is really starting to get on my nerves again. Guess i have to get US accont from somewhere if i want to test new content.

 

Brown Bread

PTR's are really nothing special, you log on check your new talent build kill some dudes outside org then log off, and then there's the lag...

 

Ultramax

Aren't the EU PTR simply hosted and run by Blizzard here in America anyway?

 

arch

Doubt it... I think my ping would be alot worse then, which it isn't.

If the Euro test realms isn't hosted at a US site that is something new for this patch.

 

Axil

Tried Naxx with a pug, got to this guy in a few easy pulls

He raped us pretty much instantly by spamming the Cryptfiend level 6 skill from Warcraft3 where tiny bugs shoot out at everyone. Not sure if they healed him, though.
