Ugh, Tuesday. I'm skipping school for sure then.

Yeah just looked, tooltips havent changed, still shows damage with no sp added in, and some spells like Conflag say things like "high fire damage". And holy crap I just Conflagrated the Headless Horseman for 28505...

Interesting, I never even bothered with tooltips before, so I'll have to take a look now, some of the Lock changes are weird. Now Conflag is by far the hardest hitting spell, just with self buffs I crit for almost 25k with it on the Raid Target Dummy... Yes the previous hardest hitting (chaos bolt) doesn't even compare, infact it seems to only be as good as Incinerate now?

That is because with glyphs and talents immolate does a good ton of damage.
Conflag damage has always been based on immolate damage.
4.0.1 removes the dot from Conflag and adds that damage in to the original hit, thats why it hits like a freakin train.
Chaos Bolt serves as a more efficient (uses less mana) and and harder hitting Incinerate. (higher base damage and eats more SP)
It does hit quite a bit harder than Incinerate on raid bosses (cannot be resisted /absorbed at all), and it also casts faster.

My Chaos Bolts use to crit for over 20k self buffed, now I'm lucky to hit 15k. :/

You have to set it in the Blizzard UI options.
It is kind of buggy right now, some spells work and some doesn't.
I am sure that Chaos bolt don't do 8k+ base damage.....

I suppose it is the largest overall change, but gameplay wise, the change from 40 and 20 mans to 25 and 10's, I think had a much larger effect on the community.

I would just like to say, the DK changes suck. I loved my blood dps and frost tanking. Rotations make NO sense now. They were perfectly logical before.

lol imho blood DPS was utter crap, I am glad they swapped it out as the 3rd best raiding DPS spec for frost two-handed (not dual wield) which was one of my favorite specs to play in Ulduar.

Rotations make sense to me so far, for frost DPS for example you don't need to use icy touch if you're specializing in frost instead you use howling blast (aoe) to inflict frost fever since it only uses 1 rune instead of 2 1x icy 1x unholy which is a big buff and distinguishes it from the other 2 trees, elitist jerks always have the best rotation written down on their website just copy and paste it into your mind and you're good to go.


EDIT: 6 more days.

 

[Frick]

I don't like the goblin's new voices. They sounded better before imo.

And I'm kinda pissed that the digital copy is €10 more than actually bying the game.

it really is .. i can't do my wow benchmarks for vga reviews anymore
(once things have settled down in azeroth our benchmarking gnomes will be back to work)

 

[Reefer86]

try £15 more the retail

 

[1Kurgan1]

Must just be over there, here its the exact same price.

Meh.

Download through Blizz store is 34.95€, retail is 259 SEK (about 27€).

 

[1Kurgan1]

Yeah, those prices are high. It's $39.99 digital or in stores here.

 

[Frizz]

Me thinks there should be a list on this thread for TPU'ers who play WoW on the first post! It could include Main Class, Server, Faction (including levels and specs would be pointless, too many changes overtime)!

 

[Jaffakeik]

Why do they asking so much for some add-on its not even stande alone game its just add-on and costs like game its crazy i think even i dont play it.it feels little strange for me.I would never pay such money for mmorpg addon they should be for 0$ becuase you are paying monthly to them.

The retail price in store are pretty much spot on for expansions, so I don't really mind.

 

[Frizz]

Anyone else stuck in the Queue for battlenet account management? I am waiting to recharge my account again but apparently there is an 8 hour queue =_=

for some1 to get into the game right now.. officially.. its a pain in the balls.. ur spending between 75-100$$ for the base game and all the expansions... ontop of paying monthly

 

[Reventon]

Not anymore. Vanilla and BC are now sold as a package for $20. Lich King is like $40 or whatever, that's $60. But yeah it will be $100 once Cataclysm comes out.

 

[Steve-007UK]

Don't care how much it cost (im not paying lol) will be getting it tomoz at 6pm, Will be ready to play at 11.01pm, session on.

You can get The Battlechest (Vanilla + BC) + WotLK + Cata on Amazon for $85 right now. I swore the prices would be dropping everywhere else soon so you could get all up to date for $80.
