Interview with Lappé

Friday, February 12th, 2010

No doubt many of us are closely following progression in heroic Icecrown Citadel. There are a lot of guilds gunning for the position for the best guild in the world.

Ahead of everybody else is Paragon from Lightnings Blade EU, and I hooked up with their very own moonkin Lappé for a little chat.

Quick Quip: Languish bug

Monday, January 25th, 2010

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.

3.3 live this week

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

Just thought i would make a small update, because I know you will be visiting my blog before you go to MMO-champion. According to Boubouille, patch 3.3 will be online this week. Yay!

I don’t know how he got this information, cause it’s not official yet, but I’ll take his word for it. Here is a summary of the changes specific to moonkins:

  • Rebirth: The cooldown on this spell has been lowered from 20 minutes down to 10 minutes. Cannot be used in Arenas.
  • Talents
    • Balance
      • Eclipse: This effect will not activate again within 15 seconds of either type of Eclipse effect firing, in addition to the existing 30-second cooldown for each type of Eclipse.
      • Force of Nature: Health on the treants has been increased.
  • Pets
    • Avoidance (passive): Now reduces the damage your pets take from area-of-effect damage by 90%, but no longer applies to area-of-effect damage caused by other players.
  • Bug fixes
    • Glyph of Hurricane: Now modifies the spell tooltip on Hurricane to indicate the spell also applies a movement slowing effect.
    • Hurricane: When cast from Bear Form, Cat Form, or Dire Bear Form, this spell will now channel properly instead of stopping the channel as soon as the shapeshift is cancelled.

Also. while it is not covered in the official patch notes, tier 8 2-piece set bonus should be nerfed to 7%, while the percentage gained on Eclipse in general is increased by 10%.

Getting a little lovin’

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

I got a wonderful little suprise when I first logged on to MMO-champion today. A single line, but one that is sure to make a lot of people very happy.

Since tier 8 was nerfed last week, and WiseEclipse was dumbed down to nothing more than a waste of space, the forums have been hot with discussions. All we got was a slight bump to our 4pt10 set, and people haven’t been happy about it. The biggest discussion was the “When you did this to rogues, you buffed their abilities!”, and I have been following that discussion – and the responses Ghostcrawler has made to it – with great intrest. And now, it seems, we have got what we wanted:

Patch 3.3: Eclipse now increases damage done by Wrath by 40% (up from 30%) and the critical chance of Starfire by 40% (up from 30%)

This is a very interesting buff. While it certainly has some positive implications for us, it might still lead us into some problems in Icecrown Citadel.

Two nerfs, a buff and a world in despair

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

An interesting day today. I was starting to think the blues had all but forgotten us. Sometimes, however, I wish they had:

Tier 8 nerf

The day has come. Well, it hasn’t actually, but it will. When patch 3.3 hits the servers, tier 8 is finally getting nerfed. It’s not like we didn’t know it was coming. Just a few days ago they nerfed elemental shamans’ tier 9, and we have been struggling with tier 8 for way too long.

The bonus from 2 piece tier 8 is getting nerfed to 7%, less than half of what it usually gave. But it’s not a massive bother. Any moonkins coming after that will be swimming in triumph badges to just get tier nine instead, and the rest of us will move on to tier 10. This makes tier 9 viable as a full set, but unfortunately, it had to happen as a nerf.
