Even with 1200 resil (pre-patch 1400), I can barely keep myself alive anymore in battlegrounds. (resto druid) Not sure if it's the lack of tree form or what.

[Izzy]

From what I heard, it's almost impossible to kill a resto druid now. You must be doing something wrong.

[Metta]

With insane amounts of resilance (1.5k+) its nearly impossible to kill any healer.

I don't really have problems killing healers but I also can do 23k in one shatter combo...I did hear that Paladins are really hard to kill now for most classes because they have a talent that allows them to spam word of glory when getting focused.

Pursuit of Justice gives them a 100% chance to gain holy power when stunned, feared or immobilized. So if you're doing those things while focusing the paladin then he can spam word of glory. Limit to just snares/silences and you're still good. Sounds like new strategy is needed, but people will probably get it nerfed anyway.

And lol @ that holy priest PvP video. Loved the "Ally gained: Sysera!" and then the warrior starts raping them, lol.

I believe they also have a talent that allows them to gain HP while getting hit. I'm not saying anything about balance just some observations. It's not like anything in this game is balance at that moment, lol.

xPerl isn't letting me cancel buffs with Right-Click making this event a right bastard.
Have to logout, disable it, login, turn off the buff, then logout to re-enable it.

[aurik]

CancelAura is now protected and all unitframes / buff frames which have aura canceling will need to have those sections rewritten to use secure functions.

I guess Blizzard didn't appreciate that the optimal way to use shadowmourne was to run an addon that instantly canceled the 10 second buff.

Resil re-tuned

We are going to take the resilience buff down a little.

It should end up as a 25% buff from where it stood originally, not a 50% buff. For point of comparison, maxing out resilience before our first hotfix reduced damage by ~50%. After out hotfix, the damage reduction with max resilience was 80%. With this most recent change, damage reduction with max resilience will go down to 60%.
Resil re-tuned again

Part of what is going on here is that we don't want newly leveled characters to explode in PvP, while still making sure that well-geared characters aren't invulnerable. The current resilience curve makes that a tricky thing to balance. Perhaps in the future resilience needs diminishing returns so that it doesn't keep getting better and better the more you have.

While we don't have any additional announcements to make at this time, there are some additional balance tweaks we're working on. Some of our adjustments at level 80 ended up causing certain classes to be overpowered or underpowered at level 85.

[Wintermute]

Apparently the Crashing in BGs/HH/Etc is due to a tool-tip bug with the Cog-Wheel. Turning them off should prevent the crash and you can turn them back on when you're done.

Macro Off:
/script GameTooltip.Temphide = function() GameTooltip:Hide() end; GameTooltip:Setscript("OnShow", GameTooltip.Temphide);

Macro On:
/script GameTooltip:Setscript("OnShow", GameTooltip.Show);

Did they make word of glory useful? that shit was so useless in the beta ( would heal for 6k with 3 stack)

[The Stig]

I will try this but I don't know what you mean by Cog-Wheel.

And I did crash in some BGs while trying for the GNERD achiev, but dunno what you mean by HH, and I guess "etc" is other random instances (i.e. headless horseman fight)

[Saxon]

He means when you mouse over something and your mouse turns into a cogwheel, the tooltip that comes with it causes crashing.

Also Winter: just turn it so default buff bar still shows, so you don't need to reload UI everytime.

[Wintermute]

Really hope they patch d/c and crashing in instances tomorrow. Just keeps happening more and more now.

[Keria]

People offering ridiculous amounts for costumes...

and then running off without paying and putting me on ignore. I mean honestly? I'm giving the things away for free in trade.

[Siniroth]

Make them pay you half first

[Ksandra]

bgs are borked. Don't get anything in random except for EotS, joined an AV where horde had 43 people and we had 10.

added to that hangar isn't working weeee

Useful? I dunno depends on what you do. It's the only way to heal for Ret/Prot now so its pretty useful for soloing and such but in group play I wouldn't call it useful for those two specs. I don't play Holy so yeah.

Well, the talent changed a little since the beginning of the beta (I logged earlier today and remade my spec). With protector of innocent, you could heal yourself for over 8k every 3sec. I've no idea how good your threat is in this scenario, but that sound pretty decent imo.

In the beta at lv 83, it would heal me for 2k to 6k (I had 70k hp) depending how many charge I had and that was it.
