Big 2.4 PTR Changes!
Posted on March 6, 2008 under Game Mechanics | No CommentWorld of Warcraft is an ever-changing game. While reading this post, keep the date it was written in mind—changes may have occurred since then!
Patch 2.4 is getting closer and closer, and it’s bringing with it some changes–and some not so changes. Let’s look at some highlights:
The Life Tap nerf is gone! The spell on the PTR has been reverted to it’s regular X health for X mana state, and Kalgan has confirmed that no other nerfs are planned for warlocks this patch.
The Mortal Strike style debuff added to the shaman Flametongue Weapon and Totem buffs have also been reversed.
One of my favorite changes so far is this: many spells that hit multiple targets will no longer hit crowd controlled enemies! More specifically, any spells which are not considered AoE spells will not hit extra targets. This includes a druid’s Swipe, a hunter’s Multi-Shot (but not Volley), a shaman’s Chain Lightning, a warrior’s Cleave (but not Thunderclap), etc. I am surprised to note that there are a few missing spells, such as a rogue’s Blade Flurry.
There are several AV changes, as well, including the option to, once again, join as a party (does this just mean party, or also raid?).
These changes are in addition to the plethora of other changes being made. Check out the Test Realm Patch Notes for more information! (Note–that link will go out of date once a new PTR is up, so check out the alternate notes on WoWWiki.)
