(Minor) Balance buff found from raw data here.

 

[Rhaellia]

Both the bow and gun looms have had their stats changed. Both have crit, and the bow also has 7 hit.

 

[Zentouji]

Warriors got buff removal back?

Nope but all I'm saying is they aren't going to suffer to much, and we might see some Fury for a change

 

[Jawfelloff]

Locks not getting any love??..sigh..

Ok I'll be the first to say it... Steady shot on the move is a pita >.< keep stopping to cast it then realizing i can move like halfway through cast. Gonna be tough to break a habit going on for over a year now

 

[SallyG]

That's too bad

I'm used to Fox. So this was a nice QoL change for low levels. And just more streamlining for end game.

 

[Oniyui]

QoL change my ass I can't fire a steady shot without starting auto shot... any other hunters experiencing this?

 

[Franciska]

We might finally have some diversity in the bracket with the Hunter´s Steady Shot buff.....Oh who am i kidding? They can't hit for 300+ with arcane shot.

So it was better not to be able to move while using SS?

I see.

Any news on Avenger's Shield silence effect nerfed? I read somewhere it's going to silence only the first target it lands to and not targets it bounces to.

You can find this in the unofficial Changes already linked: Here

Avenger's Shield Hurls your shield at an enemy target, dealing (4,488 + 21.0% 6,732 + 31.5% of SP) Holy damage, silencing and interrupting spellcasting for 3 sec, and then jumping to additional nearby enemies. Affects 3 total targets. Paladin - Protection Spec. 7% of Base Mana. 30 yd range. Instant. 15 sec cooldown.

Seems like it has changed.

But theres also a stam buff of "Guarded by the light" 25% up from 15%.

In the unofficial changes it seems like the dot damage of immolate gets a big buff.

 

[Tobinofear]

Also Blood elf racial restores only 2% mana (down from 6%)

 

[Franciska]

Mangle now does 500% normal damage plus 78, up from 400% normal damage plus 62.

Needs more resto mangle spam. Thanks Blizz.

# showtooltip Steady shot
/stopattack
/cast steady shot
/startattack

May that work? You shouldn't be opening with steady shot and unless you're using steady after a scatter the auto shot shouldn't matter imo besides pet cc that breaks on dmg

You could then put a /startattack infront of all your other abilities if you are having auto shot problems

Yeah I had a keybind for steady with AS and steady w/o AS... specifically because I didn't want AS when using steady on a cc'd opponent.. you give 'em 2 free seconds if AS breaks before SS


anyhow, that macro is exactly what I was expecting, but the reverse is what turned out to be true. Many thanks to the folks at MMO Champion

The 2 key lines are in this order:

/cast steady shot
/stopattack

works. I'm officially super-happy with the new steady shot while running changes.

Shred gets also this buff in the unofficial patchnotes.
But the movementspeed reduction seems to be wrong, because it states that it did it before too.
Or is this a higher talent that adds movement reduction to shred!?

Just found infected wounds @ level 40. Maybe the tooltip refers to this. idk

 

[Holypowah]

The wall glitches in the horde FR have been fixed (the one with the pit, and the one where you jump on the saw). Haven't tested the alliance one yet though.

shit

 

[Oniyui]

Demonic Leap's cooldown doesn't reset when you jump straight up and down anymore.

My UI is giving me big notifications of saps, stuns and silences. I think I need to tone that down since its alittle loud atm. I also was at the stranglehorn arena at 6:00 and 9:00 and didn't see him march out to drop the chest.
