Dr Gonzo Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Anybody else had to relearn how to be a Huntard since the latest patch?! Any advice on respeccing? Currently I've got a 51/0/1 BM hunter, but I can see various weird builds around and about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope I am a Shaman patch has ruined game or to be accurate endgame, Was on KJ before patch and doing quite well, First night of patch killed up to twins due to lag. Kale down after first portals, brut down with 3 mins on timer, felmyst dead after first air phase. Second night KJ dead. Twins zzzzzz, m'uru and entropis dead after 2mins 30 secs, KJ took a while tho as had to get used to shields etc.. but was far too easy still.

House Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 My highest level char is still only 46 so the various endgame changes haven't made any odds to me yet - apparently the changes are quite significant for endgame raiding and PvP though. The glyphs seem to be a pile of silly old wank but I'm not moaning since the ridiculous prices that herbs have been selling for has made me about 1200G in the last 48 hours, which should comfortably see my chars up to L70 in nice gear. General consensus seems to be that it's something of a nerf patch, bringing the game closer to being 'easy mode' than it ever has been - although some purists argue that rest XP was a horrible idea back in the day but I very much I doubt I'd bother playing if it weren't possible to build up some nice rest XP on days off from the game. My main character is a hunter but post-patch I've simply specced him full beast mastery as I was before, albeit with some new skills and different point allocation here and there. The pet training thing has gone completely as well, now the pet just gets its own talent tree, so combine my BM spec with a bear tank that has all its talent points spent on stamina/health/resilience - and my hunter has become even more of a ridiculous one man army than he was before. It's all good to me, it sounds like WoW was just too damned grindy in the early days, so I'm glad I've only got into it over the last few months when it's been ironed down a bit and made more accessible and easier to level.

Dr Gonzo Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 Having played for a while under the new patch now, I'd say they're doing that same as before the Burning Crusade came out... making it easier to speed your way to 60/70 to get you into the new content quicker. I like the hunter talent and pet training changes, although my pally has suddenly become invincible (and there are nerfs on the way for it). Strange the way all the tradeskills change overnight because of the demands of different crafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gonzo Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 I'm there I've been hanging back from the Auction House all week because anything you buy now is worthless when the new gear hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebees Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Humpfh, at least 15 minute queues for the servers I have chars on. I'm quite looking forward to a change, we dont play enough to be in an EG raiding guild anymore so usually we go off doing 5 mans and other silly little things. I'm looking forward to things like Naxx & the other old fashioned things like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
immortalpuppet Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I went to the Howling Fjords for the first couple of levels, the Borean Tundra is like the new Barrens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have barely played it though at the moment, 20% from 71 but the new seige weapons are making it more enjoyable (for questing anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

immortalpuppet Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 One of the lads just spent 19k on this: http://www.wowhead.com/?item=44235 Reins of the Traveler's Tundra Mammoth Binds when picked up Races: Human, Dwarf, Night Elf, Gnome, Draenei Requires Level 60 Requires Riding (150) Use: Teaches you how to summon this mount. This is a very fast three-person mount that carries vendors. He has far too much money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
