Glyphs added at level 15

BoA reduced scaling so they are roughly equilivent to a blue item with the ilvl of the character.

Remove the Spellpower off of BoA weapons, start slowly implementing them past level 60

Double the base HP(HP without gear) of all characters, this would help to offset the gap between BoA and Non BoA levelers.

Class quest for RFC added for druid, paladin, shaman awarding a choice of 3 relics.

Bring back the druid quests for forms, even though they are trainable, adds flavor to the game

Add in low level Dispells

Human racial changed to 5minute CD prior to level 80





Note all damage changes are intended to scale back up to normal by level 60.

Lots of the talent changes would affect mid-high level builds though so alot more talents would be needed to be moved for balancing at high levels.

I fucking love you for the Druid changes. Another finishing move with an interrupt stun and ANOTHER interrupt! SICK. I want an actual stealth ability though...



I like thorns the way it is.

 

[Sharper]

Didn't read it all, but just wanted to say it looks like good stuff. I think this fits in with Kore's project on this subject, so you may want to compare notes with him. Also, in Blizz forum threads, I think a little civilized debate between you two (and others that can stay constructive) will make for more intriguing reading and may garner more interest from Blizz/Blues.

Yeah i posted that list into Kore's 19 changes thread a while back, but no1 replied so i thought i would try here.

I support all of these changes 100%, although I do think a few are kind of greedy.



I wish blizz would do something like this but I dont think they care about anything but raiding anymore.

 

[Situbusit]

Agree with the warrior changes.. I miss half the stuff I had in BC.

 

[Diiesel]

You know how much more bursty the 19 bracket would be with all pet talents, all those extra stuns, and glyphs.. This is just a bad idea.

Shaman



Lava Last Damage increased by 20%

Ancestral Swiftness 1 Talent point

Healing Surge at level 16

Stoneclaw totem level 12





Glyphs added at level 15

Shaman would be broken. I would love it but it wouldn't be fair. You'd have to give up 1-2 of those 4 to still be considered balanced.
