WoW quality

Heading back to pick up some awesome armor sets from vanilla WoW or that dazzling weapon that’ll have your enemies cowering in fear? [hide]Transmogrification[/hide] makes it possible — and [hide]World of Wardrobe[/hide] shows you how.

Now that we’ve finished our [hide]whirlwind[/hide] [hide]tour[/hide] of Medivh’s home and have two pieces of tier 4 in our pockets to show for it, it’s time to head to the main highlight of The Burning Crusade expansion and dig up the rest of it. While Karazhan existed on Azeroth, the rest of tier 4 exists in Outland, scattered between two smaller raids — the lairs of the pitlord Magtheridon and Gruul the Dragonkiller. Both raids were mercifully short when compared to the length of Karazhan, but both required some precision timing by raids to complete successfully.

Last week, we touched a little on attunement chains for The Burning Crusade. Long, arduous and a complete pain for those trying to get in on raiding late in the game, the attunement chains in Burning Crusade were systematically removed as the expansion went on. For those who jumped into raiding when The Burning Crusade was launched, however, both Gruul and Magtheridon were required kills to get to the next level of raiding content with the next tier of raiding gear.

Every Thursday, WoW Insider brings you [hide]Scattered Shots[/hide] for [hide]beast mastery[/hide], [hide]marksmanship[/hide] and [hide]survival[/hide] hunters. Frostheim of [hide]Warcraft Hunters Union[/hide] uses logic and science (mixed with a few mugs of Dwarven stout) to look deep into the hunter class. Mail your hunter questions to [hide]Frostheim[/hide].

While we hunters wait for the PTR to be updated to include the meaningful hunter changes that are no doubt coming (other than the awesome gun finally showing up), Blizzard has released the tier 13 set bonus mechanics to give us something to speculate about as we gaze upon the datamined tier 13 looks. While there’s still information that we don’t know about how the set bonuses will work, at first glance, the Wyrmstalker set bonuses look pretty awesome.

The hunter tier 13 set bonuses are very appropriate for the final set of the expansion, very likely giving us some nice DPS gains and two bonuses that work very well together. However, like our tier 11 set bonus, these puppies are going to change up our shot rotations, at least partially. Here is what we know:

Two-piece [hide]Steady Shot[/hide] and [hide]Cobra Shot[/hide] generate double the amount of focus.

Four-piece Your [hide]Arcane Shot[/hide] ability has a chance to grant 30% haste to you and your pet for 10 seconds.

For all those hunters who were complaining about hunter focus regen in the hunter design feedback thread, now is your chance to see what your class would feel like with substantially more focus regeneration. Join me after the cut as we dig into these set bonuses, discuss the implications and run some initial numbers.[hide]Continue reading Scattered Shots: Hunter tier 13 set bonuses[/hide]Filed under: [hide]Hunter[/hide], [hide](Hunter) Scattered Shots[/hide][hide]Scattered Shots: Hunter tier 13 set bonuses[/hide] originally appeared on [hide]WoW Insider[/hide] on Thu, 29 Sep 2011 17:00:00 EST.

Not entirely happy with the upcoming set bonuses for [hide]tier 13[/hide] in [hide]patch 4.3[/hide]? It’s all right, they’re still in the process of being tweaked. Community Manager Zarhym just posted some changes that will be going into affect for both two-piece and four-piece T13 set bonuses for the druid, hunter, mage, paladin, priest, shaman, warlock and warrior classes.

For feral druids, Pulverize now also grants your Bear Form Mangle critical strikes a 100% chance to trigger Savage Defense.

For shadow priests, Shadow Word: Death deals an additional 55% damage, but it also reduces the damage you take from your own SW:D when the target fails to die by 95%.

For DPS warriors, your Raging Blow and Mortal Strike abilities have a 13% chance to apply the Colossus Smash effect on your target for 6 seconds.

Follow after the break for the full list of changes.[hide]Continue reading Patch 4.3: Tier 13 set bonus changes announced[/hide]Filed under: [hide]News items[/hide], [hide]Cataclysm[/hide][hide]Patch 4.3: Tier 13 set bonus changes announced[/hide] originally appeared on [hide]WoW Insider[/hide] on Thu, 29 Sep 2011 17:30:00 EST.

Each week, WoW Insider’s [hide]Mathew McCurley[/hide] brings you a fresh look at [hide]reader-submitted UIs[/hide] as well as [hide]Addon Spotlight[/hide], which focuses on the backbone of the WoW gameplay experience: the user interface. Everything from bags to bars, buttons to DPS meters and beyond — your addons folder will never be the same.

With the [hide]Raid Finder tool[/hide] hitting the PTR in the very near future (potentially even right now, depending on what happens between the days betweeen this publishes), new players will be ushered into a new era of raiding. With the new, more forgiving raid difficulty setting, players who might have never been part of the raiding game will get their chance to see endgame content first hand. We want you all to be prepared here at the Addon Spotlight. Today’s installment of the column is all about getting tanks in tip-top interface shape for their new adventures in [hide]patch 4.3[/hide].

Addons essential for tanking, like the other two roles, have greatly lowered in number over the years, as Blizzard has made the entire WoW experience more streamlined and user-friendly. Old paradigms like threat and mitigation have substantially changed over the course of the game’s life and now are much more straightforward affairs for the average player. Addons can still help increase the user-friendly nature of the game and give you an extra edge in making your raiding experience an enjoyable one.[hide]Continue reading Addon Spotlight: Raiding essentials for tanks[/hide]Filed under: [hide]Add-Ons[/hide], [hide]AddOn Spotlight[/hide][hide]Addon Spotlight: Raiding essentials for tanks[/hide] originally appeared on [hide]WoW Insider[/hide] on Thu, 29 Sep 2011 18:00:00 EST.

WoW Insider’s on a [hide]Daily Quest[/hide] to bring you interesting, informative, and entertaining WoW-related links from around the blogosphere.

I’m not really sure what’s going on in the above video, but I think Tears for Fears may be saying the best way to pick up a librarian is to wait until the library has a monkey, then burst into song. Playing a spontaneously appearing keyboard helps, too. Speaking of tears — or rather, tiers — how about those new [hide]tier 13 set bonuses[/hide] that were announced? Do you think your tier set bonuses are pretty cool, or are you wondering if they’re actually better than what tier 12 has to offer?

Today we’ve got a collection of posts from around the blogosphere regarding the tier 13 bonuses to various class sets.

[hide]Cannot Be Tamed[/hide] takes a look at [hide]resto druid tier 13[/hide] and the set bonuses.

[hide]Righteous Defense[/hide] shares four thoughts regarding the [hide]paladin tier 13[/hide] set bonuses.

[hide]Warcraft Hunters Union[/hide] takes a look at the [hide]hunter set bonuses[/hide] for tier 13.

[hide]The Brew Hall[/hide] also has a few words to share regarding those tier 13 [hide]hunter set bonuses[/hide].

Is there a story out there we ought to link or a blog we should be following? Just leave us a comment, and you may see it here tomorrow! Be sure to check out our [hide]WoW Resources Guide[/hide] for more WoW-related sites.

Опубликовано описание квестовой линейки на получение легендарных кинжалов «Клыки отца» для разбойников – это оружие появится в патче 4.3 для MMORPG World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, [hide]сообщает[/hide] компания Blizzard Entertainment.

«Самым опытным и опасным разбойникам обновление 4.3 предлагает возможность сыграть одну из ключевых ролей в судьбе мира, — говорится в объявлении, — как и полагается разбойнику – управляя событиями из теней. Персонажи посетят различные уголки мира, выполняя разведывательные миссии, участвуя в кражах со взломом, проникая на охраняемые территории, а также приводя в исполнение тайно вынесенные смертные приговоры».

Опубликованы официальные изображения комплекта брони Т13 для игрового класса «Жрец» из MMORPG World of Warcraft: Cataclysm – экипировка появится в патче 4.3, [hide]сообщает[/hide] компания Blizzard Entertainment.

«От нас требовалось разработать комплект в дерзком двухцветном стиле «Венецианского карнавала, с вызывающими мурашки, бездушными черными глазами, — говорится в объявлении. — Это описание дало нам толчок в весьма интересном – хоть и несколько спорном – направлении. Тема «гаснущего света» подчеркивается ярко выраженным мотивом заходящего солнца».
