Undocumented talent changes
by Rottaker | 18/07/2008 15:13:23 Here is a list of some talent changes since the previous alpha build that were not covered in the patch notes. Affliction: Improved Curse of Agony - Moved to First Tier. Suppression - Now reduces mana cost of affliction spells in addition to the hit. Improved Fear (NEW) Requires 10 points in affliction. 2 ranks. When your Fear spell is resisted, the next Fear spell has a 50/100% chance to become instant cast. Amplify Curse - Now also reduces the GCD of Curses by 0.5 sec. Improved Felhunter (NEW) Requires 25 points in affliction. 2 ranks. (tooltip is bugged for rank 2, assume it's 66) Your Felhunter gains mana equal to 33/66% of the damage done by it's Shadow Bite ability, and reduces the cooldown of your Felhunter's Expel Magic by 10 sec. Haunt (NEW) Requires 50 points in affliction. 1 rank. (This replaced Cripple) You send a Ghostly Soul into the target, causing 670 - 785 Shadow damage and increasing all damage done by your damage over time effects by 15% for 12 sec. When the Haunt spell ends or is dispelled, the soul returns to you, healing you for 20% of all damage done to the target. DEMONOLOGY: Improved Succubus - Now gives your succubus a 33/66/100% chance to resist interrupts during Seduce, in addition to the reduced spell costs. Demonic Sacrifice- (NYI) When activated, sacrifices your summoned demon to 20% spell haste and 10% spell damage for 20 sec. Summoning a new pet cancels the effect. Demonic Pact Requires 45 points in Demonology. Your pet's criticals apply the Demonic Pact effect to the target. Demonic Pact increases the spell power of all attackers against the target by 2/4/6/8/10% for 12 sec. Metamorphosis - Now you look like Illidan Demon Form, instead of a Dreadlord. DESTRUCTION: Improved Shadowbolt - Patch notes were misleading. It is still 4 charges of non-periodic damage. Improved Soul Leech (NEW) - Requires 35 points in Destruction & 3 in Soul Leech. Your Soul Leech effect also returns mana to you and your summoned demon equal to 15/30% of damage caused. That covers talents. For anyone asking about the felhunter thing, couldn't find Expel Magic (will edit if I do) but for shadowbite see below. NEW FELHUNTER SPELLBOOK ABILITY Shadowbite: 177 Mana Melee Range Instant Cast 6 sec cooldown Bites the enemy , 84 to 118 Shadow damage plus an additional 5% damage for each of your damage over time effects on the target. |
by Koraa | 20/07/2008 21:11:59 Demonic Sacrifice is going back to it's former self in the next patch, although it'll be changed slightly. We want Warlocks to gain benefit from using their pets in PvE, not destroying them for buffs. Demonic Sacrafice was originally created for situations where having a pet out wasn't as viable. Today, that situation is/should be coming less frequent. We realize that is because of issues with the pets (mana regeneration, some are too fragile, etc.) which are have/will be addressing.
