4.0.1 THoughts (Fuck someone else make a thread :s)

Joe, try Mik's Scrolling Battle Text. I changed from SCT, and haven't missed it

Blue post from GC:
We made many changes yesterday. A lot of these were bug fixes, and many bug fixes will affect damage one way or the other. So just because you don't see a specific change referenced below, doesn't mean it didn't change.

With that said, here are the specific changes we made in reference to my previous post:

1) We buffed the base points and coefficients of many warrior dps abilities. We didn't do as much to tanking abilities.

We buffed the base points and coefficients of many Ret abilities.

We buffed the base points and coefficients of many Feral cat abilities.

2) We lowered the base points and coefficients of many Mage abilities, but lowered Fire more than the other two.

3) We nerfed Shadow Word: Death, but it is possible we didn't nerf it enough. It should not be Shadow's biggest spell.

4) We returned Searing Pain's damage to its 3.3.5 levels.

5) We increased the benefit of resilience by 50% for players level 80 and below. The tooltips will probably not reflect this change.

We don't have any other changes to announce at this time. I am reluctant to mention additional classes or specs that we are looking at currently for fear of instilling excitement or panic.

I had SCT wrapping up above me like demi moore making a vase and then crits would sticky. Maybe I just need to spend more time with parrot.

Just me, and I don't want your schedule. =p

Most of the people in that channel now have all quit playing, or are just casuals. Dirac is the only other "name" there, and I know he's had drama in the past.
 
One of the rogues from Spike Flail app'd and when i asked about it i was told the app sucked so much that they didnt forward it to me

recruiting sucks, it'll probably be just me and pinch forever
 
Shadow was insane on Wednesday. I don't know what the changes did, but I couldn't spam SW Death on cd because our healers were horrible this week and I had to hold back on almost every boss because our tanks have downs (was an issue pre-4.0 as well). My account expires next month though and I'm not sure if I'll renew it for another 6 months.

I couldn't drop below 95% mana, either. Shadowfiend was up what seemed like every 45 seconds.

Recruiting was a nightmare for rogues in vodka. I pretty much rejected every app for the longest time.

Quitting was much easier and now trashy players like Killars from VQ are the rogues.

el oh el

Huggsie (bahramyew) and Fayz are still raidin I take it? Quick look on armory also shows you have Mb and Inahk...some more ex-manno stars, nice.
 
My final opinion on 4.0.1 is:

Buggy piece of shit.

Q: How do you release a live update that's somehow more broken than what you pushed to PTR and beta realms?

A: Work at Blizzard.

LOL Killars is a complete tool from what I've heard. He also has the shittiest UI I've ever seen.

yeah we picked up huggsie and fayz around ToC and ulduar if i remember correctly, both still raiding....MB and inahks joined recently around the time we killed H LK

Atleast rogues are going to suck until the 2nd tier of cataclysm....gives me lots of time to recruit :)

It was probably Methios. He's a decent player, but he's like 16. I wouldn't consider him amazing or anything. Most of our other rogues quit before we stopped raiding in May.
 
Not to disturb the trip in the way-back machine yall are having.

I'm guessing we can expect another mage nerf. Specifically to arcane. 30,000 DPS on BQ last night and according to recount, I got a crit for 181,000 damage with AB.

Mages were top of the DPS charts all night long. It was kind of silly.
