so i can't but notice many classes got large lists of changes this patch.....nothing gaming changing, but they were looked into.... we got a few nerfs, and bug fix which was really a small nerf...... i have been talking a peak on the forums the last 2 days first with the wf cool down excitement of yesterday, then today we are all talk about the the new animation for wf....


as comunity why are we not pushing the bigger issue in that yet another patch has come and gone and still no changes to the shaman, and once again even more limitations.

There is quite a bit coming for you in patch 2.3, which should have a quick release turn-around, at least when time between 2.1 and 2.2 due to the massive undertaking that was patch 2.2 as a result of voice chat and the major sound changes.

Thank you so much for giving us a clue, Eyonix. :)

Btw, stun ability? Totem GCD removal? Eh.. Eh? n_n


You're welcome. No changes to those abilities, and while not the same, in patch 2.3 frost shock will no longer be subject to diminishing returns. This should prove useful.

And this voice chat that made the patch take a few MONTHS to release is where?


edit: never mind I forgot about all the productive work done to changing certain classes shoulders.


C'mon --lets play nice. There is a solid plan in place concerning voice chat which you can read about on the general forums, and I believe the PTR forums. In short, we'll be activating it very soon. We wanted to keep it disabled when 2.2 went live so we can focus first on any sounds issues that were present.

Question: are you at liberty to say how close ZA is to completion? I imagine that would be the major hold up on 2.3 aside from class balance concerns.


Zul'Aman is done. We just need to get the raid dungeon on the public test realms, and make sure it sees extensive testing.

Don't worry, it won't require the same amount of testing as voice chat. I feel few truly understand what it took to impliment voice chat, and test it properly.
