I did the weaponsmith quest in org a few days ago then went to winterspring and NPC just trains the type of weaponsmith you want without the quest
i went to Iron Forge to get the grey quest for weaponsmith, not available. I also checked winterspring, the NPC says to talk to them to learn swordsmith in the dialogue box, but there’s no option to train. it’s been like this since the pre-patch
Improve the thunderclap talent to increase mobs affected by up to 2, and to prioritize mobs not already affected by thunderclap in addition to the current target. Or, simply increase the threat caused by some arbitrary amount.
The social damage is done, and the TBC leveling/heroic experience is basically cooked for many warrior tank players, self induced by irrational thinking or not. Not to mention the indirect effects of having fewer tanks overall as a result.
People will accept the change as the self induced tank shortage intensifies. Right now is the time to course correct as you have a sort of excuse. Do it!

Surely you give tanks some threat gains

How about fixing all the lag in the AH, Bank, and mail? Why bog down the performance? Some of us wonder if it is intentional, because it was there long before even pre-patch. Now its just blatantly worse. Stop wasting everyone’s time.

It wasn’t a bug. Why did it take a week? Just ask us for the $60 on login already.

Youve basically made every player deal 50%+ or more less dmg with this armor change. Ive set TBC down possibly for good because of this.
You guys want TBC to have a faster overall experience… Yet you do stuff like this…. just proves how out of touch and inept you all have become.

Hello,
Through multiple dungeons and damage breakdowns, it appears with the armor fix, Armor Pen was broken, Hunter Beast Lord 4 Set Bonus (600 Armor Pen) Is not currently appropriately granting the armor penetration bonus to attacks, attacks are doing the same if not less with that actual buff present. Also do not seem to be benefitting from other types of armor reduction, i.e Sunder, Expose, Faerie Fire.

Something just feels wrong. This is just going to be napkin math, and there may be a misunderstanding with how damage is calculated. It’s my understanding that for warrior, ability damage is added to base damage.
My minimum : 394 base
Execute : 750 additional
Mob armor approximately 40% reduc, leaving me with 686 damage
That’s with no Battle Shout, no Blessing of Might, no trinket activation, no food, so on and so forth
Even WITH all of those AP buffs (maximum about 3,000 give or take 100-200)
My executes still are LESS than the estimated 686. WITH buffs.
This is an admittedly small sample size of 58:
Average: 571
So, INCLUDING critical strikes - AND different rage levels per execute, and in addition to having buffs along the way: my AVERAGE is even less than what my minimum should be.
Have you accounted for glancing blows?
As I was mentioning above, even with my 600 Armor Pen Buff, Sunder Armor, Expose Armor, Faerie Fire, my attacks were hitting the same as without the buff from set & debuffs on enemies
Let’s have a TBC game token weekend for the community, they’re extremely popular and a nice moral boost.

- Fixed an issue that was causing the Karazhan Chess Event to run much faster than intended, allowing Medivh to cheat more often than he should. Sneaky Medivh!

Wow, if only this hadn’t been repeatedly reported from the ptr. Good thing we still release those for testing!

Any word on fixing armor reduction affects? I can only vouch for the beast lord set not working but I have heard that other armor debuffs may not be functioning properly either.
