So WotLK released their first beta patch notes and whaddya know! Apparently someone is at least half paying attention to someone besides rogues, pallies, and death knights. There were lots of significant changes, most of which I don’t feel like going in to here. So stop being last and go out to check for yourself (wotlk wiki is good but updating slowly)
What was good to me in the patch notes?
Dispersion.
For far too long blizzard ignored the fact that EVERY other casting class had mana regenerating spells- they have us a thee legged extremely stupid shadow pet for a few seconds which normally gives you enough mana to type a full OOM sentence rather than a quick simple oom. Dispersion was supposed to fix that – and then they made it last for only 6 seconds on a 5 minute CD. So in arenas you wouldve had to plan your dispersion use VERY carefully and in PvE it would end up replacing one maybe two of your mana pots. But now they have reduced the CD to 3 minutes – meaning in arenas I could possibly use it twice. But more importantly for nijessi – with dispersion and my now extended duration shadowfiend mana pots may no longer be a requirement for raids. I can use those pot cooldowns for something like….oh, I don’t know…. Destruction pots? So while they may have nerfed raid mana regen for us they have finally given us some mana efficiency inthe shadow tree! So I would like to say this while I still can (ie before someone at blizzard realizes “zomg someone helped the Shaowies. Quik grab the nerf bat!”)
Fuck you discipline tree.
I’ve got my own friggin mana regen now!
………though I am gonna borrow that new tier 1 spell dmg talent when you’re by lookin…..
