DPS - CATA hunters and rogues, SAD STATE
Ghostcrawler : Quote: Im so glad blizzard is taking legitimate concerns over peoples classes seriously
Legitimate concerns ARE taken seriously, and this forum is full of them. Saying your class is DOOMED, DOOMED because nobody posted in your forum thread brings out a little of the silliness in all of us.

Cataclysm - [Feedback] Die by the sword
Ghostcrawler : I play with this Fury warrior. His dps is quite high to the extent that he pulls a lot and then generally dies before anyone can respond. This talent is dedicated to him.

Cataclysm - Discusion on Holy Power - Holy Shield
Ghostcrawler : Quote: As it is now, it's worthless. If you like keeping Holy Shield up, there is zero chance of using Word of Glory. The heal for Word of Glory is still insanely gimpy, even with the buff, so it's unlikely that it will be used. It's still impossible to keep Holy Shield up with great consistency.
I'd buy that if Holy Shield gave you 20% damage re...

Cataclysm - Warrior 12664 changes and discussion
Ghostcrawler : Quote: Also, does anyone else feel like Inner Rage is more or less pointless now? It doesn't really seem to add anything to the class other than unnecessary complexity. It feels like our rage gain is stable and well-balanced enough that the balancing doesn't need to fall back on such an obvious crutch and making the cost of your abilities fluctuate...

Tank - Prot Paladin - Build 12644
Ghostcrawler : Quote: I am in the beta. Unless they changed it back with the latest patch, it only affect spellpower and NOT healing spellpower. I am currently downloading 12644 to take a screenshot of my character stat page, assuming you don't believe me.
I'm pretty sure it affects both damage and healing.

DPS - Soooo... about those other classes?
Ghostcrawler : Quote: The last 3-4 weeks have been nothing but Paladin, Mage, and Warrior.
Just remember that over the next few weeks when the paladin, mage and warrior are asking "When is it time for our talent review?"

DPS - Shadow Priest Concerns for Cataclysm
Ghostcrawler : Mind Flay -- This is a technical explanation, but basically we had to rebuild it for Lich King to get it to benefit from haste correctly. Now that we have tech to let all periodics scale correctly with haste, we can change Mind Flay back to the way it used to work. The "latency" issues you experience today should be gone. You can just mash the Mind...

Heal - Paladin Build 12644 Feedback.
Ghostcrawler : The current Holy paladin mastery:
Your healing spells also place an absorb shield on your target for X% of the amount healed lasting 6 sec. Absorb increased further by mastery rating.

Cataclysm - Mage
Kalgan : Quote:
Yeah, but how much is this really going to help in a raid environment? If we're taking enough damage while feared/stunned/etc that this talent really helps keep us alive, isn't the encounter going to be brutal beyond hope for specs that don't have such abilities? And if we're not taking that much damage, is the talent valuable? Especially ...

General - Healing Shield Drop Rates...Come on Blizzard!
Bornakk : Quote:
6-7 months of Ragnaros and I never got Tier 2 pally pants.
But I get to kill him again in Cataclysm!
/gnomecackle
While I did get my Tier 2 pants back in the day, it seems like each expansion there is an item slot that chooses to hate me. For Wrath it's been trinkets for sure, in The Burning Crusade I had issues with token drops like sh...

General - So what is after Cataclysm ?
Nethaera : Every expansion, we get people asking, "what's next"? While we're always asking ourselves that, it's not something we're ready to answer right now. We're very focused to making Cataclysm another great addition to the game and once we feel we're at a good point with that, we'll begin looking more toward what would need to come after it.
Let's not g...

DPS - @Rogues. Blizzard aren't idiots...
Ghostcrawler : Elusiveness being too deep was considered a grave injustice. So we moved it up and switched it with Dirty Tricks, causing a new injustice. We'll try and find room in tier 2 for both.

Cataclysm - Shadow Priest Concerns
Ghostcrawler : We haven't worked on the Shadow tree much after out initial pass (that brought Shadowy Apparition et al.). We're working on it now. Please don't expect a total overhaul where every talent is redesigned, but we are taking a hard look at all of the damage talents and trying to make the talent choices more compelling (which often means harder).

Cataclysm - Still Time for a Totem Overhaul?
Ghostcrawler : We're fine with totem health given how easy totems are to replace. We also think it's fine to have to (sometimes) choose between a buff totem and a non-buff totem given how many different things a shaman can do.
However, we are going to increase buff totem range (and possibly other totem range) and we have figured out a way to make Searing Totem a...
