I'm disappointed that there is nothing for the inscriptionist. Granted being able to create a lexicon is nice but I'd like to see glyphs recipes as drops in dungeons like other crafts have.

I'm disappointed that there is nothing for the inscriptionist. Granted being able to create a lexicon is nice but I'd like to see glyphs recipes as drops in dungeons like other crafts have.

Like what other crafts, and where does the stuff drop??????? JC has no dungeon drops. Not to mention the like 50 new glyphs they added in 3.1.

[Bubba Grizz]

I've gotten JC drops in regular 5 man's in Wrath. I know a lot of enchantments are drops as well as flask formulas. I believe engineering and tailoring used to have drops as well. I didn't see 50 new glyphs. Maybe I missed something.

[Aardor]

I've gotten JC drops in regular 5 man's in Wrath.

Actually, you're right, there are a few JC patterns that have 100% drop rate in 5 mans, and 2 that have an extremely low drop rate off elites, both of which I believe are supposed to be added to the JC token vendor (they made a mistake with some JC patterns and have them as rare drops, or they were not in the game till 3.0..

I know a lot of enchantments are drops as well as flask formulas.

The only recipes for alchemy that are drops are protection potions, which have been deemed completely useless (and have near 100% drop rate for alchemists). Flasks are most definitely learned from trainers.

The only recipes for enchant that are drops are cloak resists, which are completely, 100% useless due to raidbuffs + resist armor capping you. They're also near 100% drop rate for enchanters.

I believe engineering and tailoring used to have drops as well.

For tailoring in WOTLK, there are some flavor shirts (i.e. for your shirt slot, never provide stats), that are near 100% drop for tailors.

For engineering in WOTLK, there has never been any drop recipes.

As far as "used to," every single profession had dropped recipes before WOTLK, where they made a design change so that you didn't have to farm for a recipe for days. Also, who the fuck misses the days of raid drop recipes that screw your guild because of bad luck?

Sure inscription doesn't have the 4 dropped recipes that most of the other professions have, but I think that's more of a plus. The only useful profession with drops is JC, and it's 1 fucking Meta.

I didn't see 50 new glyphs. Maybe I missed something.

I don't know, maybe you should look at mmo-champion, or the hundreds of other sites that list the PTR changes, instead of just the initial notes Fairweather posted (he did link to MMO-champion too). Complaining about lack of recipes for the profession which had the most added, and is also the biggest money making profession in the game by leaps and bounds is fucking retarded.

62 new recipes WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH LACK OF INSCRIPTION CHANGES. Glad they fucking balance pve and pvp abilities around a single fucking profession.

Oh, you should probably read MMO or whatever for the undocumented class changes, since Fair only posted the notes from patching to the 3.1 PTR client.

[Bubba Grizz]

Well excuse the flying fuck out of me. I only read what was posted here and what was on the Blizzard fucking site. I didn't go to all those other sites so take your elitist bullshit and go fuck yourself.

Well now I am just fucking elated that we got a shitload of new glyphs. yah happy fucking me! Now leave me the fuck alone while I go scour these other sites.

Continue being ignorant and making stupid complaints then, shitflinger.

Edit: OH, and elitist? That's fucking hilarious. Fair linked to the site in the first post. I guess being able to click a link, read, and comprehend makes me elitist, but that's not really a surprising proposition, coming from you.

[Bubba Grizz]

First I want to thank you for the information you provided. Next, I call you elitist because you come off as all knowing in your statement and I felt as if you were attacking me just because I didn't know the same shit as you. I can't reach most of the sites you mentioned while at work and to be honest I didn't know there was more information out other than what is posted in the patch notes on the WoW home page. So, coming from me, I appreciate the enlightenment even it is coming from you.

This is VV afterall I guess. I should expect comments like that from people like you.

[Sinzar]

Granted being able to create a lexicon is nice

Just to clarify, this was removed. The Dual Spec feature was changed to be usable anywhere without a reagent (which is how it is on the current PTR, and confirmed that's the current design intent).

[Bubba Grizz]

Well now that is disappointing. Thanks for the info.

[Nick]

Did they just try and turn frostbolt into some glorified fucking mod rod?

[Zaelath]

Did they just try and turn frostbolt into some glorified fucking mod rod?

They've added replenishment as a buff to a lot of classes, and it's the same buff, so you can have a shadow priest giving 10 people replenishment, and a surv hunter, and a frost mage now apparently.

The stupid part is this is all part of the "take the player, not the class" ethos that was supposed to pervade WOTLK and up, except wait, the first boss in military quarter of Naxx requires 2 priests with hit gear minimum.....

[Dregor Thule]

Yeah, they've eluded to screwing up with Razuvious in terms of bring the player not the class. Should have made it like the 10 man and had control crystals. I control one of them on 10man for my guild, it's fun

[Fairweather Pure]

The druid tanking changes are too much for me to try and care about. I think I'll go play Xbox instead.

[Bagar-]

To be entirely fair, you can do razuvious without priests. It's just a fucking pain. Have some hunters / warriors / paladins positioned at different corners of his room, and do taunt rotations, he just runs in circles. But if you get a resist or someone fucks it up, people die.

Bloodlust/Heroism: Cooldown reduced to 5 minutes, but Sated and Exhausted now last 10 minutes.

Wow I just noticed this. What a load of shit.

I think I read that in 3.1 taunt will have diminishing returns as well, so that won't be an option any longer.

Does anyone know if this patch is going live today? I heard there was server downtime; I can't check anything from work.

[Aardor]

It's not. Probably sometime in early April, they still have a bunch of testing/balancing to do, and there are tons of items without Art/Stats.

There's server downtime every Tuesday, generally.

As stated, patch won't be out for at least a month. There's still a decent amount of PTR testing going on. You'll know a week ahead of time because they'll disable the PTRs and crap.
