Subject: Gear change coming in next patch?
  
Since its early and all you cm's are fiesty already...

Can you give us some kind of idea whether or not you'll also be switching gear with this "mini" patch prior to the expansion? Crit rating/hit rating agi->ap gear?

I'm sure your aware and have heard if you switch our mechanic 1agi - 2 rap and dont change our gear all the whiney hunters (most of us unfortunately) will be ZOMAGAD CANCELZIN ACCNTS LETTUCE GNOMES BLIZZ and so on.

Just curios, a "yup" "nope" "we're still checking into it" will do just fine. :)

Thanks.

Yep. It's a core change to the mechanics so you will see it in the patch.

The best rule of thumb when trying to figure out what is and isn't coming is to think of what is considered a 'core' part of the game itself and seperate it from what is expansion only and doesn't effect the entire game.

I know people are still trying to get a feel for what to expect and I realize that for many it won't sink in until they see it. I've always been a 'hands on' sort of player myself. Experiencing something for me is usually better than theorizing about it.

UI as well and I believe pet scaling however I'm not 100% on that one. I may have to go back through some notes and double check so don't count that as gospel.

*edit- Just so you are aware, WHEN this all happens we will have notes to try to cover the changes. We don't always manage to get every detail in the patch notes but we try to get the most important things in where we can. I know many people have more questions but those questions will be best answered when you read the notes that way all the answers are in one place for you.

I hope that helps a bit.

Q u o t e:
Ouch, and i just finished making my UI all pretty :(

Word on the street is that you are not planning on altering fights like lucifron, chromag, grand widow faerlina, noth and sapph, to make them less decurse/cleanse heavy?

I know we have beat this decursive thing to death, but if you could tone those fights down a bit in the aoe debuffs, every pally druid priest and shaman would heart you guys hard.


I'm sorry but word is still the same. We will not be changing those encounters or adjusting them at this point in time. There are players that have done them without needing decursive (don't stone me for saying that) but for the most part, as players are able to level up with the expansion, those encounters become less of a challenge and by adjusting them we could end up trivializing them rather than helping players accomplish beating them.
