Test realm patch notes - 2.4

Apologies that this update is coming so late but we pulled the Essence of Immortal quest chain about 2 weeks ago. That's why you haven't seen it on the Public Test Realm. The 3 gates will open automatically over time at equal intervals on all servers.Regarding the taking back of the town on the Isle, however, that will still be dependent on completion of daily quests. Servers can race to see who can open their quest hub the fastest. But access to raid bosses has been made equal.We really like the concept of cross-server competition. But the concept of the gates being tied to specific boss kills was not playing out as we had hoped. We plan to do future things that involve servers competing with one another through major events.

Nah but cyclone is utterly retarded.

 

[Ayu]

So to sum up, Druids will run slower next patch, heal for less and cyclone from shorter range? Cool

Didn't they change it back again tho? Not sure, but in any case, it doesn't apply to all druids

The changes made to spells like multi-shot or chain lightning to avoid breaking CC spells have been removed.

Isn't a fast off-hand shit for enhancement dps?

Will ProM, lifebloom end heal, water elemental dmg etc be added to their "owner" correctly with the combat log change btw?

Yeah, eats your windfury procs from mainhand too often

Wil, unless I missed something in the recent patches, PoM etc are actually intended to belong to the i.e. tank who it was cast on. It does count internally as if the tank healed himself, thus generating healing aggro too.

Yeah, I know that's the whole point of those spells, was just wondering if they figured out a way to add the healing done of those spells to the caster anyway. Assessment for example has done that for a long time already, altho it's always just an estimate and not the precise value.

Really hate it how water elemental usually gets ignored No one bothers to add it for me in webstats reports, and it gets screwed up anyways if there's multiple mages with WE.

"Since manually parsing text strings is no longer required, things like pets with the same name as party/raid members will no longer cause confusion."

Hopefully this solves at least some of the WE problems too when there are more than one in a raid.
