WTB Dual wielding paladin.

Ive allways wanted to duel-wield aurastones, not the best for stats, but how cool would it look?!?!

 

[atradonis]

Tier 8
Nature's Reprieve: Gives you a 20/40/60/80/100% chance to gain Mana equal to the base cost of your spell after healing a wounded target with Healing Touch, Regrowth, or Swiftmend.

Interesting.... Unless I'm interpretting this wrong, wouldn't this mean if you heal someone with any health deficit, you don't lose any mana? Wouldn't that be a weeeee bit imba? *confused*

I wanna see priest stuff

 

[Ayu]

Wounded=20% health, and I wouldn't advise anyone to wait til a tank is that low to start heals to save mana

Wounded=20% health, and I wouldn't advise anyone to wait til a tank is that low to start heals to save mana

Unless the tank happens to be a druid.

Soul Scream
Requires Level 65

Huh?

 

[Natalya]

Soul Scream
Requires Level 65

Huh?

Yeah. Same with "Power Word: Warding", so could be completely bogus.

 

[Anshrr]

Well, lots of the new spells for other classes, posted by Blizzard, require level higher than 60. Seems like the brand new spells are post-60 only tbh, while lvl40-60 is either getting squat, or new ranks. I'm guessing the latter.

/edit: Oh wait, 65 isn't an even number. I'm with ya now. oO

 

[Ayu]

I think the point was that level 65 is an odd number, and you only get to train skills at even levels.

 

[Anshrr]

Aye, just got out of bed, not really awake yet. Edited my post when I realized ^^

Here are a few points regarding upcoming Talents/Abilities, in no particular order and, as usual, subject to change:


* Spellsteal will randomly grab a beneficial effect. This spell is undergoing a lot of work, because of its tricky nature, so the spell's game mechanics will change during development to reflect the intended function. For now, consider it to cast the stolen effect on the mage, so Power Word: Shield would confer the Weakened Soul effect in addition.
* Someone had asked if Arcane Potency affects the whole channeling of Arcane Missiles. It does.
* The Water Elemental is currently another source of ranged DPS. It has no duration(will only despawn on death).
* The devs are considering changing Ice Lance to make it more interesting and a more meaningful choice for DPS.
* Invisibility will wipe threat once the 8 second 'fade to invisible' effect completes. A few uses would be content bypassing, escape or preventing initial targeting in BGs.
* The Wounded state mentioned with Molten Fury means having health at 20%, same as the condition for using Warrior's Execute.
* Dragon's Breath disorient effect will break on damage. The disorient effect will only occur if damage is dealt. Creatures/Players immune to fire will not cause the disorient effect.

 

[Ayu]

So Invisibility will have to compensate for the -Threat Reduction nerf, nice 8)

 

[Anshrr]

Cool how the water elemental is just a pet, not a short term summonable.
Makes it (even) more interresting imo ^^

Here are various points of interest about some of the new talents and abilities. It doesn't really follow any train or theme, so bear with me.


* Dark Pact will be receiving treatment similar to the Life Tap change, so that it takes spell damage gear into account (scaling).
* The Felguard is still under development, so I don't have too many specifics that might not change. However, a brief exchange in a meeting with the devs went something like this:
- Me - What's the Felguard looking like? Will it possibly replace the VW?
- Dev - Hmmm...yeah, maybe it should. It has DPS abilities at the moment, but maybe it should have some threat-generating mechanics, as well.
- Me - ....(thinks of respecing into demo)
Hey, no guarantees, but it is under consideration.
* Shadow Embrace is a self-oriented buff that reduces physical damage the Warlock may take. It won't stack with repeated casting.
* Nether Protection will only proc from an outside source. Hellfire, Lifetap or other self-inflicted damage will not proc the effect.
* Someone had asked why threat reduction was applied to Imp. Drain Soul instead of something like Grim Reach. Simply put, it makes a lesser used talent more valuable.
* Soulwell is not the only source for Master Healthstones.
* Seed of Corruption will explode whenever the target takes a total of 1044 damage from one or more sources. It only damages opponents. The damage from the explosion will count toward the 1044 damage of another target, should one be nearby. Think about that for a bit. You could also refer to the sig below for inspiration.

 

[Anshrr]

lol.... imagine several targets, then tossing seed of corruption on all of them.. when the first one blows, they all blow (if close enough to each other). That's pretty .... will make any gnome proud. :<
