DV's Confirmed 5.4 Information for F2P

[Voc]

5.4 PTR: Build 17299, Spell Changes, New Cosmetic Armor, and More - Wowhead News

Not trolling

LOL blizz just loves warlocks . .
and those warrior buffs are insane . . they are gonna be every clothies worst nightmare :O
also nice that arcane shot getting a 40% nerf, looks like rogues will be countering them afterall

 

[Windbreaker]

Any idea when 5.4 is going live? I don't have a warrior or rogue on the PTR to try any of this out.

Lava Lash: You charge your off-hand weapon with lava, instantly dealing 300%260% of that weapon's damage...

:/ Lol noo...

This just in: vitality got a 5%buff,mutilate got an80% buff,revealing strike got a 35% buff,sinister strike got a 50% buff

Arcane shot got 40% NERF,but they buffed Aimed Shot by 50% and they also buffed Explosive Shot alot too

Just to be clear, do not expect decreases and increases in damage by this much. These are the changes in weapon damage percent and attack power percent not ability damage. In reality damage buffs from weapon damage %:

Arcane Shot: 24.2% nerf
Aimed Shot: 14.3% buff
Sinister Strike: 26.3% buff
Mutilate: 40% buff
Revealing Strike: 28% buff

Arcane shot damages nerf is not a really one because actually it deals only 110% weapon damage on live. It's a damages nerf from what it used to be on PTR, but still a buff from 5.3. I must admit that 30 focus cost is gonna hurt though.

 

[Broken]

How close can people get to being crit capped on PTR, with all the enchants available?

It's gonna be insanely stupid if 24's start critting on 9 out of 10 hits.

 

[Tyramissoux]

Muti Rogues and Combat were poor anyway.

When was combat spec weak? Just too many people not able to play it. But I embrace the buff... berzerk mode on!

 

[Fujin0]

Damn, that slam buff

Mmmmmmmmm, dat SLAMBAWMB <3

 

[Rollop]

Speculation- Patch 5.4 release date confirmed for August 27th? Farm your jp conversions sooner rather than later, same thing goes for farming barrens swag on your alliance toons.

 

[Buckeye]

Why are you guys still playing WoW?

 

[Crystalpall]

Why are you guys still playing WoW?

I want to be top 1 in lofis achiv ranking, and I want shadowfang.

 

[distorter]

LOL really, Lava Lash nerf? I must admit, it does craploads of damage for a 10 sec CD.
*sad*

Wow,wow,wow, devs easier!
This is some horrible shit, hunters will probably just go back to one skill - aimed
ATM with BIS gear the calculations are (considering +50% focus on AS):
ArcaneShot Old 313 New 230 =>26% nerf
Aimed Shot Old 640 New 800 =>25% buff
Explos Shot Old 360 New 420 =>17% buff
Since arcane is the main source of hunter damage it's a big nerf to us, why dont they fucking give us any choice on spec? ATM hunter with/without spec is almost the same, choosing surv gives you about 10% damage increase cause of ES, but that's all, we dont get any usefull abilities from specs and it makes me sad.

Good luck getting Aimed off before dying.

Get 33% crit on hunter (out of bg) @ lvl 20 *no 24 gears but with guild looms* maybe possible get few more %.
Rogs can get near 40%.
I myself believe in dodge stam stakin since it gives ~ 450hp more and ppl wont be exp caped against you.
Woop.

ppl seems to underestimate http://www.wowhead.com/spell=74189/enchant-boots-earthen-vitality 8% speed buff can be very critical.

Hey, man, I understand than you're provocative, but be realistic - it's 2.5 without haste stacking, it's really easy to get AS, though really boring.

You can't spam it, super long cast time, and you have to stand still. What makes it so dangerous?

Who said it's good? It's quite shitty skill.
It'll be something like 900crit+450non crit in 5sec (in 5.4 on a cloth), not that bad, but neither good.

You were the one saying Hunters would go back to one skill...
