Probably pushing the patch,
Probably pushing the patch, whether it will be active or not is the question I suppose. But I saw a few other WoW sites this weekend that were all predicting it for this Tuesday too.
4.0
The background downloader pulled 4gb of data yesterday, 3.3.3 to 4.0 conversion patch. Most of the new talents and such are ready I suppose, though a lot of them don't work well unless you have the proper Cataclysm gear with a high Mastery Rating. Tanks are going to see a large boost to their Block %, but a decrease to everything else. Baseline Block % for a warrior is 30%, for instance - no gear, strictly talents. Some of the talents rely on new abilities as well, which we won't have.. Colossus Smash for Arms Warriors for instance. But other than that, everything is just fine.
Heh.
Check out the class changes on MMO-Champ. I was hoping to come back for raiding this week, but I'm not setting foot in an instance on Tuesday because nobody who hasn't been on the beta or the PTR is going to know how their class works. :)
And this is different from
And this is different from normal pugs how?
YOU HAVE MY TANK
Warrior tanking has been actually improved rather than radically altered. It's easier to hold AOE threat now, since you can actually spam cleave every GCD, and Thunderstruck helps Shockwave immensely. I get the feeling Paladins are going to be all weird, and Druid tanks. And Death Knights. But Warrior tanking adjusts fairly easily, so you can at least rely on just the 'general' level of suck from most people.
Cept meeeeeeeeeeee
And even then, DK tanking is still no where, where I'd like it to be. But I was pulling 2k MOAR dps on training dummies in the PTR on my lock than on the live server right now.
Not know class?
I've been all over that ptr, so I'll happily run dungeons with you :D
meh, DK tanking is just
meh, DK tanking is just fine...we just won't have TotT or MD that perma gives us threat now...oh well. I was doing the same threat as I do on live, and I don't really have problems with my threat, unless people open up before I can spread my diseases and BB.
Sad face
My MD and ToT was an Icy Touch, I loved pulling threat from someone with one or two of those bad boys. Frost tankings threat always was greater than Blood in my eyes, so it's a downgrade for me :( Although I do have a nice new pretty 2h tank axe if DW wont fly anymore.
um, Blood had 8 ITs they
um, Blood had 8 ITs they could do in a row... :) and sometimes, i needed it...:( if stuff don't hit me, i couldn't RS. now we can RS as long as we have resources for it :) /cheer
RS
Always seemed to proc for me, eh oh well. I did find in the PTR though RS and OB were very nice threat generators, I guess HS too, but most of what I tanked was single target.
R.I.P Frost Tanking
