Some of you guys are freaking out, but it's a bit early to say the sky is falling... Our talent trees are obviously in serious need of updates, and we have been assured on a number of occasions that our damage should remain roughly the same as it is in Naxx. Expect some nice buffs/abilities in later builds.

I see a couple of people strongly dislike hand of salvation glyph, however there are times where tanking is needed but threat not (adds on KT, noth, grob, gluth, Raz. 4HM(depening on tactic), MT Sarth+3) And there are other fights when i've got a 20% cushion so this could be used. Not saying it's great, but if it's a minor glyph think i would take it for it's potential situational uses.

Yep, I guess it will consider the base cooldown. If not, we would also have to face Army of the Dead in arenas

Prinsesa · 02/24/09, 10:59 AM

Arena-eligibility considers the base, unmodified cooldown of an ability.

This was established when a Druid attempted to use his AQ Genesis set to reduce his Battle Rez cooldown and couldn't get it to work.

That being said, I imagine that being able to reduce LOH to no cooldown via 4 piece T3, LOH Glyph and Imp. LOH is probably unintended, no matter how rare the T3 set is by now.

Some quite important changes that have not yet been revealed include whatever is going to happen to Glyph of Turn Evil or to Divine Plea.

I hope that's a joke...

Not a good day for us, that set wouldn't be too bad but the helm... Oh well, it's not like we'll get matching boots/belt for ret anyway.

Dragonspear · 02/24/09, 11:44 AM

I look at that set and see it as Blizzard trying to tell us "you all should go impersonate ironman and reroll engineers" of course im doing that anyway for pvp gimmicks but still =/

Try http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/...ggedeffect.jpg it has matching belts/boots.

EDIT: Seriously though, what are the belts/boots from in the pic above? The Valor set from classic? Oo

I can live with the rest of the set (no worse than Crystalforge), but that helm has exactly zero redeeming qualities.

It's the Sunwell T6. And that's a good point, you know you're considered second class when your boots/belt never match ;-)

Yeah but I meant rets won't get them, our boots will match the DK/Warrior set.

I just noticed this btw: Glyph of Holy Shock *new* -- Reduces the cooldown of Holy Shock by 1 sec.

Seriously I wonder did they get our specs mixed up? Maybe next week they'll realise "oops, we were meant to nerf holy not ret."

I chuckled when I saw this. More damage for Holy, more healing for Ret.

A static picture can only show so much. There's particle effects on the shoulders and a small one above the head. Admittedly, it still looks VERY lackluster and dull.

Base. You used to be able to get Rebirth down to 10~ minutes w/ like the AQ set and something else (Can't remember if it was another set bonus or a talent, it's been a while).
