I wanted to call two GC threads to your attention this morning. The first isn’t real big but I know a bunch of people have been asking about the effect of the ammunition changes on Steady Shot.
Q u o t e:
Does this mean that steady shot is no longer effected by the haste bonus?No. We just wanted to remove the quiver without losing its haste bonus. Except for inventory changes, you should not notice a difference.
The second thread is all-together longer and more amusing.
The official Public Test Realm Patch Notes for PTR Patch 3.1.0 have been updated with, among other things, extensive additions to hunter notes.
By the way, one of those ‘other things’ is:
But let’s take a look at the hunter stuff. Note that these are the complete notes, so they will include things from the previous version of the patch notes also.
For many of you, the information in this post will be redundant and stale. But since I’m just catching up with everything myself, I thought it might be helpful to write up a round-up for others as well.
Only a few days after the 3.1 PTR goes up and we already have a new build! The official patch notes don’t appear to have been updated yet, but MMO Champion noticed some hunter pet changes while looking at client data. (Note that this method can be innaccurate, which would mean that these changes are not happening. We’ll have to keep an eye out an see how it goes.) Allow me to quote from MMO Champion:
- Thunderstomp (Gorilla) has been removed as a pet skill and replaced by Pummel – Pummel the target, interrupting spellcasting and preventing any spell in that school from being cast for 4 sec. (20 Focus, 5 yd range, Instant, 10 sec cooldown)
- Thunderstomp is now a pet talent available to any Tenacity pet. Now your bears, crocs or ESPECIALLY CRABS can join in the AE tanking fun.
- Savage Rend (Raptor) now temporarily boost the raptor’s damage by 10% for 30 seconds.
- Furious Howl (Wolf) now only affects the wolf and its master, duration increased from 10 to 20 seconds.
(Incidentally, my head has been buried in Java all day. So thanks to those intrepid readers who e-mailed me about this new build and/or posted on the comment thread for the last build — I appreciate your efforts to help keep me and other hunters up to speed. *grin*)
You may need to force-refresh the page once if you have a copy cached (I did), but the normal home of Petopia at petopia.brashendeavors.net is once again operational!
Please return to your normally scheduled Petopia-browsing activities. *grin*
(And thanks again to Brash for her quick and doubtless annoying work with the webhost getting this straightened out.)
