    <font size="3" style="line-height: 1.3em;"><b>Flame Leviathan 10-Man killed by 2 Players</b></font><br />Strijder and Bekstinker were a bit bored and decided to kill The Flame Leviathan in 10-Man .... without anyone else. After 20+ wipes because of bugs they finally took down the first boss of Ulduar with only 2 people and 1 vehicle, congratulations to them! <br /><br /><div align="center"><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Iha86gOgjrk"><b>Blue posts</b></font><br /><div class="blizzquotewrap"><div class="blizzquoteinner"><span class="corners-top"><span></span></span><div class="blizzquoteheader"><span>Quote from <b>Blizzard staff</b></span></div><div class="blizzquote"><font size="3" style="line-height: 1.3em;"><b><span style="color: #90FF53;">Itemization</span></b></font><br /><span style="color: white;"><b>Int vs. Spirit</b></span><br />You are rarely choosing between just Int and Spirit. It&#39;s also fine if you prefer Int to Spirit. The danger comes when you say "My gear is junk because it has Spirit on it." That is what paladins are saying about MP5. Our stance is that&#39;s not a problem with the gear -- it&#39;s a problem with the stat not being attractive enough. We already run the risk of PvE gear being as homogenized and well, boring, as PvP gear. We need to use all of the stats we have available or every tier of healing plates is going to be "Your previous tier, plus 10% more Int and Crit."

"Certain melee classes are too good in 2s and 3s right now" does not equal "burst is too high." Let&#39;s try and be precise. When players go around posting "burst is too high" then you get a lot of less-informed players also chanting "burst is too high," when I really think that doesn&#39;t contribute much to the discussion. (<a href="http://blue.mmo-champion.com/28/17367758304-sad-dayi-must-battle-gcs-hypocrisy-again.html" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: white;">Source</span></b></a>)<br /><br /><font size="3" style="line-height: 1.3em;"><b><span style="color: #90FF53;">Classes</span></b></font><br /><span style="color: white;"><b>Overpowered talents</b></span><br />No, it doesn&#39;t become irrelevant, at least in our minds. Here are a few of the problems you run into when some talents are enormously more powerful than others:<br /><br />1) The talents that "only" provide a 1 or 5% dps increase are viewed as garbage. Players might skip them. They might make the rest of the tree feel lame, which risks players not finding the tree very fun. Think about it this way: if your breastplate had 500 strength on it and your bracers had 10 strength on them, would you even care about the bracers? Would you campaign to get them buffed? Would you make "Lol nobody cares about bracers" posts.<br /><br />2) Other classes wonder why their 51 point talent can&#39;t provide such an enormous benefit. They think warriors are overly favored or that developers didn&#39;t spend much attention on their trees. Now, we ignore QQ as much as we can, but also ideally players are excited about their classes, and ignoring even a hint of favoritism can go a long way. Despite our best intentions, talents still have grown more and more powerful over time. Compare an old talent like Improved Heroic Strike to a new one like Fire and Brimstone. We want to keep the inflation under control while possible, or +10% becomes the new standard by which talents are measured.<br /><br />3) Power increase isn&#39;t constant. When you can suddenly get your 51 point talent, your dps shoots up enormously. A level 60 warrior could do much, much higher dps than a level 59 warrior.<br /><br />4) Here is the most important one. We thing the game works better when talents don&#39;t make up too large of a player&#39;s power allocation. It makes gear drop feel cruddy when so much of your power comes from talent allocation. It makes enchants, tradeskills, buffs and other parts of the game feel paltry by comparison because you are so powerful just by a passive increase to your talents. It means picking the "wrong" spec is brutal instead of just sub-optimal.<br /><br />Now there are other considerations of course. In the case for Hunger for Blood, we think having an overpowered talent is preferable to the alternative. There are talents like Ruin that provide an enormous dps increase and we live with that. (And to be fair, Titan&#39;s Grip is still overpowered even with the 10% penalty but it&#39;s less overpowered than without the penalty.) If we could find no other way to improve Fury dps, then I&#39;m sure we&#39;d look at TG. But there&#39;s a lot of the tree we can improve. (<a href="http://blue.mmo-champion.com/28/17367976663-stop-wasting-gcs-time.html" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: white;">Source</span></b></a>)<br /><br /><img src="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/icons/ihunters.gif" alt="" border="0" /> <b><span style="color: #ABD473;">Hunter</span></b> (<b><a href="http://www.mmo-champion.com/index.php?page=620" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;">3.1 Skills List</span></a> / <a href="http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?hunter" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;">3.1 Talent + Glyph Calc.</span></a></b>)<br /><span style="color: white;"><b>Frost Trap on immune targets</b></span><br />Partially what we wanted to do was make sure it wasn&#39;t "wasted" on an immune target. It&#39;s hard to figure out the ideal solution here -- it seems like sometimes you&#39;d want to trigger it anyway and sometimes you&#39;d want to save it. I&#39;m assuming you&#39;d never want Freezing Trap to active on an immune target, so there&#39;s a consistency issue too.<br /><br />Reverting it back to always going off on immune targets and just not affecting that target certainly isn&#39;t off the table.

When the toolbox isn&#39;t large, it&#39;s important that every tool does something. The solution is just a little tricky. Nerfing HL won&#39;t go over well, but buffing FoL just risks making paladins overpowered. To fix this, which we might do, we have to tweak carefully. (<a href="http://blue.mmo-champion.com/27/17367597888-gc-im-sorry-but-youre-severely-misinformed.html" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: white;">Source</span></b></a>)<br /><br /><span style="color: white;"><b>Mana regeneration and MP5</b></span><br />We nerfed a lot of regen mechanics in between T7 and T8. Players were worried about regen being too low so we made sure the stats were there. It appears that players aren&#39;t having mana problems on the normal encounters but are having to be more careful on the hard modes. So we need to get some more hard mode data.

Changes like that would make MP5 more meaningful without removing potentially fun mechanics like Illumination or DP.

    Default Riferimento: Flame Leviathan 2-manned, Blue posts

    LFG 1 more Onicsia /w ggmix
    13 Il giorno dopo, uscì di nuovo e, vedendo due Ebrei che stavano rissando, disse a quello che aveva torto: «Perché percuoti il tuo fratello?». 14 Quegli rispose: «Chi ti ha costituito capo e giudice su di noi? Pensi forse di uccidermi, come hai ucciso l'Egiziano?».

    Se questo fosse un film d'azione hollywoodiano, Mosè direbbe "indovinato", tirando fuori due mitragliatrici e aprendo il fuoco. Ma purtroppo, come già detto, queste sono elucubrazioni, e nelle elucubrazioni non succedono cose così divertenti.
