WoTLK Beta

[Meph]

Totem of Wrath (Tier 9): Summons a Totem of Wrath with 5 health at the feet of the caster. The totem increases the damage done by spells and effects by 100% for all party and raid members, and increases the critical strike chance of spells and effects by 3% against all enemies within 40 yards. Lasts 2 min.

are you shitting me? 100% damage increase?

Bugged, supposed to be 10% I believe (if not less).

[Gulkeeva]

does cursed vision hide it? lol

uhhh... dunno, I don't think I've seen any Dk with cursed vision haha.

Although I heard for night elfs that have that same eye effect it hides the glow (in beta)

are you shitting me? 100% damage increase?

rank 4 gives 160 spell damage
and by 160 spell damage i mean 160 healing because it's bugged like all my other shit on beta.

[Lbelle]

10% is still a huge amount

[Eaglestrike]

10% is still a huge amount

And scaling buffs = win.

[aers]

I just said it isn't 10%.

[Norellicus]

I just said it isn't 10%.

And you know this how? Tooltips in WoW have never shown percentages, they calculate the % on the fly and show you a real value.

Potential beta bug != actual result at expansion launch.

Back when blizzard announced the mass buff/debuff homogenization, they said totem of wrath would become a flat spell damage increase buff that doesn't stack with demonic pact, flametongue totem, etc.

8885 is seeming to be having alot of glitches and bugs. I'm getting tons of system file errors and such (even on two completely different PC's after repair.exe'ing)

[aers]

Ok.

You want to know how I know it isn't 10%?

I logged on my fucking level 80 shaman on beta and cast the 4 different ranks, which gave 100, 120, 140, and 160 buff respectively. Their tooltips show 100%, 120%, 140%, 160%.

Also the blue post saying it gives a flat damage buff.

Yup, I had some sort of "Vector Stray triangle" Critical error thing like first few days

DK has a nice bug that lets them tag mobs (and pull it) from about 80-120yish away !

[Dezzimal]

Elaborate on the bug because I'm too lazy to go check the dk beta forums.

Probably no ones really reported yet because its sort of odd...
basically you workup 60+ runic power, and then target something ( not like over 200y away or it won't work)
basically what unholy blight wil ldo is put crypt fever on a mob you target (like 50-80y away) and they will come to attack you.

If your to far they will just "twitch" but they won't have a target so they just "evade" your disease.

hey look, raid utility for assassination and pvp viability for combat

and shadow dance buff

somehow blizz is getting smarter :D


p.s. can someone with beta account go slap that guy on the top of second page? he's a fuckin idiot

overkill is a 1 point talent that's not at all required or costly for pve yet basically revived renataki for pvp bursts


edit: actually i read more into subtlety and found out it's a friggin nerf, phail

[Rivero]

10% is still a huge amount

It really isn't considering most classes have 15-20% to benefit from. Although looking at it in a raid-benefiting manner yes its good, but to me it still feels a bit worse than what most other spell casters get.

[Krandor]

Wow Overkill is an awesome talent for PvP.

The new talent in for Prot warriors to allow charge in combat is nice too

[Correction]

Fuck Relentless Strikes in Subtlety. Fuck that in the ear.

[fantasticdan]

Wow Overkill is an awesome talent for PvP.

Not really, considering you'd have to drop shadowstep to pick it up. All the deep assassination/combat pvp talents are retarded.
