Eyonix (blue poster) released some new information today regarding the upcoming stat changes we will see in Cataclysm. I must admit, I was initially a bit anxious about this whole change. My fear was that, in an attempt to make stats easier to understand, it might just make it all too simple.
I would strongly advise anyone to read the full post, which you can see by clicking on this link, and in the meanwhile, we will take a closer look at what moonkins can expect.
I get a lot of questions from people asking how to gear up their moonkin. Links to armories, comparasons between this item and that and so on.
Unfortunately, the answer is not always as clear cut as one might think. There is a lot of things to take into consideration, and to perform to our fullest we need to know what to aim for.
Our stat priority has changed a bit over the last few major content patches. It can be difficult to keep yourself up to date, so lets take a good look at our stats, once and for all.
Arthas is finally available in Icecrown Citadel, and with him comes a nice little loot list. While I was a bit disappointed that he only seem to drop weapons, it does sort of make sense. We are more or less covered on every other item slot already.
I would never dream of posting any sort of spoilers (Dumbledore dies!), the loot list got me thinking about my previous BIS list and how each weapon combination compares to each other, and on normal versus heroic difficulty. As it turns out, my initial sloppy guess that going from normal to heroic was just a straight upgrade, was invalid.
Gee, I’m sorry for the lack of posts in the past week guys. Lots of stuff to do, not a lot of time to do it in. I have some stuff planned for you guys next week, so you can look forward to that, provided I get around to do it.
For now, I just wanted to drop a line regarding the Languish effect from our 4 piece tier 10. Currently it only does 20% of what it should be doing. In actuality, thats because bosses and dummies resist 80% of the damage. Why? Because Languish is a level 1 spell, and therefore no match for a level 83 boss.
Blues has already commented on this and said: The spell level of Languish (the tier piece proc) is too low, causing an unintended high level of resists. We can hotfix this.
Whether they have done this or not yet, I have no idea. Thankfully, most people won’t have 4pt10 until next week at the earliest, but there are a few people that does have it already. When the majority of people gets it, it should be well and fixed.
Since ICC came out, there has been a buzz around the staff from Lady Deathwhisper: Nibelung. There has been no shortage of posts on MMO-champion, The Moonkin Repository or Elitist Jerks talking about this item, and there is a lot of “what if”’s and “could it”’s going around.
A few people wrote me and asked about it, and a couple noted that I had even picked it up myself. I haven’t been overly lucky with getting the Frozen Bonespike to drop yet, and the only viable offhand in ICC hasn’t been released yet. So when I had the chance to snatch up the staff, I decided to give it a whirl.
