And I can’t wait to see silvermoon on my screen. And see all the changes from the first pre patch patch.

No information about Hal’hadar’s Phasebound Visor not being obtainable even though the achievement is completed?

Hero Talents

  • Dark Ranger
    • Beast Mastery
      • Shadow Thrash now deals Shadow damage, but its damage has been reduced by 30%.
      • Blighted Quiver now increases Beast Cleave and Kill Cleave effectiveness by 5% (was 10%).

Do the people doing these balancing passes even play this game? Dark Ranger’s AOE was already so pitiful that no one uses it for AOE heavy situations, the other hero talent is the go-to for AOE for BM.

We’ve had one prepatch yes, but what about second prepatch?

It was just a copy paste of the looked at once tuning done on beta.

Dude, we are 3 weeks from expansion release, there ain’t enough time for a 3rd pre-patch.

No sh*t. We pay money, they don’t listen, we stop paying money, simple really.

Playing BM practically requires having a glass half full mindset. While the nerfs aren’t particularly great they’ve put it through worse. They will not break me.

So you’re not going to make the pre-patch event less terrible?

Probably not. It’s going away in 3 weeks anyway

The prepatch event is def boring but with the stuff being repeatable on alts it’s super fast to gear said alts now, at least.

I didn’t know shadow was topping meters these days. I certainly was not one of them. :joy:

I mean… These are changes. They don’t seem like they are the changes needed.

Can mage get some real talents in their tree? Instead of 15 second extra duration on Hot Streak/Brain Freeze/Clearcasting, a 5% mana discount, the awful 2 target remove curse? Or the literally unusable reduction to Hypothermia duration on fire and arcane mage?

In my experience lately devourer is topping meters left and right.
stares at the devourer buffs and the shadow nerfs
I got nothing.

This is the patch that’s going to fix the first one right? You’ll fix the client stuttering and such?

We need an Options Profile at this point. Too many variables to configure warband wise.
