not only was it reduced due to arena… but it was also only ONE arena match… ONE FREAKING arena match… apparently blizz just didnt think one match could go unheard, even tho they won fair and square using CC/Imobilization reduction…

They nerfed Bestial Wrath down to 10 seconds from 18 for Arena reasons. The 18 seconds of immune-to-crowd control was deemed to be too powerful. To most players it was an over-reaction, and I myself miss it very much.

But when the 18 second immunity was already working people over in Arena, it made it hard for Blizzard to buff BM dps back up to where it should be, and still be fair.

Something just popped into my head while I was takig a shower. now, follow me here…. Blizz made Bestal Wrath’s duration 10 sec down from 18 secs because they didn;t want hunters relying too heavily on our pets. Now, in this patch (which hit today) they give our pets the “Culling the Hurd” ( I am pretty sure that is what it is called). This is an ability that gives the hunter and the pet 1/2/3% damage increase when the pet crits…… is it just me, or did Bizz just make themselves look like huuuuge hipocrites? This is an ability that depends on the pet, and Blizz said they were going away from that. Don’t get me wrong, I love getting a new ability that ups my dps, but this seems to go against everything that Blizz said they wanted to do. I also realize that all hunters will benefit from this, and that is cool too, but if a oet dies it hurts BM the most. Just don’t understand why Blizz would do something they said they were trying to get away from. If anybody knows anything, please fill me in.

Really hope that Gnomer gets reclaimed and the gnomes get some real lore. They’re enire civilisation seems to have just grown out of the ground.
The goblin captial should be good though. I really wanted to see Undermine but the new one should be just as good. I hope for lots of explosions. In a good way.
If we really are getting new goblin and gnome capital Blizzard is going to have a tech fest, with each city trying to out do the other.

Nimizar: They’re retconning Arugal’s history hard and fast for Cataclysm, even going so far as to make out the Worgen as the holders of the curse/infection and the Worgen as the ones being vile/evil etc etc, and Arugal as one of those anti heroes/dark heroes, what have you, you know ignoring the fact he’s evil T_T

So that probably means several quest changes/instance changes to SFK, but they’re already going to be making a … lol .. heroic version of sfk…

._. wat.

Anyways I would not really care if they did change Gnomer. Hell make it shorter. And less confusing.

Was in a run there on my dorf hunter and we were there for like an hour :/ getting lost and etc.

We know goblins are getting something in Azshara, but if it is only on par with Sen’Jin Village then it wouldn’t need a new Alliance city to balance it.

The other thing that makes me doubt it though is the fact that Dun Morogh was only flagged as being in for a light overhaul in that colour coded map. Obviously, Blizz could have changed their minds since that map was created, but the area around Gnomer plays a fairly significant part in the quest flow for levelling gnomes and dwarves, even if you don’t get sent into the dungeon itself until much later.

After all, it isn’t like the blues would ever make misleading comments that are strictly and literally true, but designed to get people to leap to the wrong conclusions just so they can be amused by the wild speculation that results ;)

I’m not saying I’d mind if Gnomer was cleaned up and made partially Alliance controlled with a shorter instance left behind – I just don’t expect it to happen.

Azshara will definitely be connected to Lost Isles by a boat, i can’t wait to see the Goblin capital though. I imagine like, strings of huts hanging from the cliffs of Azshara, mechanical lifts, tunnels inside the cliffwall, darn i can’t wait if it’s like this :)

Palla: So then in theory it should be possible to go from Azshara -> goblin starting zone?

Cause those low level raptors just scream ‘make an alt come try to tame me’.
