Warlords of Draenor Changes for F2P

[Bloodinhoo]

All of my concerns right now are about healing being too strong, which is MUCH preferable to damage being too high.

We're in an exciting time. 20-29 is just a blemish in an otherwise awesome expansion for F2Ps.

Who knows, it certainly would be difficult for it to be harder for F2Ps than it is now (20-24). I recognize that it is a likely possibility, but the addition of so many F2P accessible things brightens the Xpac as a whole.

Also, if indeed the bracket gets ruined for us, we can all go full WPvP. The community will have to be creative, and i can see it thriving from new events.

Could someone on the PTR please check at level 20: how much stats "the human spirit" and the Draenei "Heroic Presence" gives? Also, how much stamina Taurens "Endurance" give? Thanks in advance.

Tauren Stamina buff is 10 stamina at level 20 - that's pre-BG scaling. Not really sure what it ends up in there - I'd theorize 14-15.

 

[Pooh]

Ill check draenei then

so is that basilisk pacify gone? and is blizz planning on keeping the pet charge?

Yeah :/

I'm going to miss some of the pet abilities, but overall the utility was kind of stifling for other classes.

5 vers from the human spirit, which is 1.31% at level 20

Heirloom vendors to be removed in patch 6.0.2

This is good news,. If they are really putting that much work into them, it makes me think that the DMF vendors will be updated. On the flipside, it also makes me think they will think of ways to disable f2p access to the boa tab. Time will tell.

Somebody asked about off-hand looms on twitter and:

"We'll be adding those to the Darkmoon Faire vendor."

Interesting that they're temporarily removing JP heirloom vendors. Better get them now if you haven't already.

Looks like the parry/dodge pve heirlooms are also going to have altered stats. Which stats...they haven't decided yet.

It'll be bonus armor, for tanks only. Lore doesn't really know much, just what info is relayed to him, but that system designer does. https://twitter.com/nite_moogle It looks like he's in charge of gear.

Warlords of Draenor

Under itemization changes

Also looks like resil will be staying on pvp heirlooms, with no changes being made. Even though resil is being removed.

Sad they didnt acknowledge that they are, and have been for awhile, sub par compared to pve looms (in pvp)

 

[Rollop]

Strongbox loot for Beta Skirms still level 100?

annnnnnnnd now strongboxes for leveling pvpers have been delayed as well

[Pooh]

Guis new question.....will AGM be more viable now since Pvp Power will be removed and will absorb be bigger/ smaller / or remain the same?

 

[Rollop]

Until they nerf the stam on it, it'll always be viable. Even more so now with each point of stam adding something like 18 hp. The fact that the bubble is currently not effected by battle fatigue is another big bonus. I wouldn't count on battle fatigue going away though. It's currently set to 0% and with the forums raging about how OP healing is on the beta/ptr, i expect it to make a return.
