Creature AI has been changed to no longer prioritize attacking unfeared targets over feared targets.

Can I just say wow. Not sure what to make of it yet but if it means you will still maintain agro even after a fear as a tank that means Teddy Tanks and Tankadins were just made viable for fights like Nightbane without having special tricks or 3 dwarf priests/shamans.
 
Wall of text Critted Odale for 345234968203985672093846720987 damage.
Odale resisted but still knows how much he would have been hit for!!!
Odale is too lazy to decipher the post by Blizzard.
 
2.3 will not be released until the first week of November at the earliest. But don't be suprised by a December release in all honesty. They just put in Winter veil content on the PTR.



As for the fear mechanics and fear ward, its probably still best to keep one up on the tank and one healer. Maybe only one healer. I can see the mob\boss still attacking the tank while the tank is fear but if the healers are all feared too, dead tank.
 
I think Paladins and Druids, since they cant get out of fear like Warriors can, should get the Mark of the Alliance... for fear fights anyway.
 
I think this is sorta dumb since it defeats the purpose of making a boss fear you. Yea it makes A LOT easier, I don't know I feel they are just dumbing it down.

i cant say i agree with you there. i know alot of pallys who wont go near pvp to get it, im one of them myself. healadin pallys are pretty much unable to pvp for a can of beans unless they spec themselves right to get teh best of both.
 
healadins might not be able to solo horde but charge in there with a couple rogues, mages and shadow priests and keep them alive and we do just fine:) I have gotten 17k honor is 4 days of pvping(to get the trinket in fact) mostly healing heh
 
I agree with Where. So much fun and IMO, so much more rewarding being a healer in a bg. Sure you don't get as many HKs as those who "lay the smack down" but healers are an essential part to any good bg group.
 
depends on how many Nevibombs you heal lol, get credit for HKs as long as you are close to the one doing the killing:P its always fun to go behind some DPS and keep 3 guys healed while they kill 5 or 6 horde who dont realize that healer standing in the back until its too late:P
 
yea, and the insignia of the alliance is pretty cheap at around 2500 honor.

the trinket with resilience costs about 16k honor
 
Where said:
the 16k trinket is also only a 2 min cooldown on the fear-break, the cheaper one is 5 min

That PvP trinket is better then the new fear ward so to speak, for dealing with fears, FW will have a 3 minute cooldown and the 16k trinket has a two minute cooldown.
 
At least now alliance priests can have 2 fear breaks in a row which evens the field... oh wait undead priests will have 3. gg blizz.
