The Burning Crusade

-  Several years have passed since the Burning Legion's defeat at the

  Battle of Mount Hyjal - and the races of Azeroth have continued to

  rebuild their once shattered kingdoms. With renewed strength, the

  heroes of the Horde and Alliance have begun to explore the broken

  lands beyond the Dark Portal. What dangers or rewards await mortal

  champions in Draenor? And what will the Alliance and Horde do when

  they discover that the demons they thought vanquished have returned

  to renew their terrible Burning Crusade?

 

General

-  A stirring of events has begun throughout Azeroth and rumor points

  to the Dark Portal as its source.

-  Mazk Snipeshot in Booty Bay now sells bullets.

-  The Auction House now sorts by buyout price first, then by current

  price. This should filter all of the items with outlandish buyout

  prices to the bottom of the list.

  (The Burning Crusade Expansion must be installed.)

-  Collector Edition pets are now blue items and a confirmation

  dialogue will appear to prevent accidental deletion.

  crowd control (sheep, banish, etc.).

  feedback.

- "Slam's" swing time is no longer slowed by damage taken.  

 

Interesting. Would make that Imp Slam (.5sec cast) talant a little meaner for 2handed fury peeps.

 

I used to use Slam all the time on my horde warrior as a rage dump in raids. It reduces your swing time basically, at the cost of rage. I found it more effective than WW while I was MS.

 

This was a long time ago...

As the Burning Crusade expansion was finished prior to the most current patch versions it will be necessary to re-patch to 2.0.3 once the expansion is installed. As some players remove their patches after they have been applied we would like to provide a helpful warning not to delete the “2.0.0-to-2.0.3” patch file as it will be required after the Burning Crusade is installed.

Yeah…sorry Gar, looks like you're definitely going to be short one of those buffs. I agree with RH though, Might > Wisdom seeing as you guys can feign / drink…or at least so it seems to me.

Nothing new to me except this.

Its still good as a rage dump. I use it on Emps. Its biggest drawback from before was the increased casting from damage but without it now... Not a bad ability. Even with slow 1handeds itll force that one last hit on a target before it breaks stun\immobilized. Or even a good stacker with Second Wind while you are immobilized anways.

 

90rage = 4attacks in 6sec without talants. 2sec with.

 

I wouldn't quiet call it a buff though. This is like increaing the damage done by hamstring.

 

Speaking of... Why don't warriors HS and MS damage increase scale with AP?!

""Wound Poison" now causes damage and reduces all healing by 10%,

stacks up to 5 times."

 

and it stacks with mortal strike.

 

That easily made one of our worst poisons into one of our best.
