[...] beta build, or they might just have been correcting misleading tooltips. For example, I found these old notes that give an example of the way Scourge Strike used to be [...]

i think it’s lame that only the first one gets that title, only the people with no-life have a change to get it.

honestly Horn of Winter is a lot like Shammy totem (strength of earth) except that it’s probably a dispellable buff.

Also, I think they just removed the text about AP affecting spells out of all DK spells. It’s a class function and it’s repetition is silly.

The numbers and understanding of it isn’t necessary to the average player, and is best reserved for theorycrafters and min-maxers =D

On a completely different note, how do the talent changes affect frost tanking ? i see endless winter doesnt aply frost fever through frost strike and mind freeze anymore? is that now implemented in those skills similar to icy touch , or have we been given a thorough screw in the ear?

If any1 who plays beta has any information on this , plz post.

Sorry, to summerize take all those “first to xxx” titles you have, add the word “Elder ” infront of them and then make the exact same goals, but rather then just reaching it first making it reaching it period and have it the names now. (Besides maybe obtain 80 since that would be just tossing out titles, but profestion wise it wouldnt, anyone to cap a profesion should get a title not just the one single person that did it .5secs before them because of lag)

Agreed, I would like to see more titles, but if they are only going to add “first person to xxx” titles they might as well remove them completely, I don’t remember anyone b**ching about how “easy” it was to earn rank private by just getting 15 HKs (which generaly you get within 1 or 2 BGs), or how easy sergent and master sergent ranks where where as on most servers all you had to do was do 1 BG a week to keep sergent and 5 every 4 weeks to keep master sergent. I think titles are a nice idea, I think yes some should be hard to obtain, but not make it so all titles are “elite”.

Back in the good old ranking days pretty much anyone could achieve the 3 lowest ranks, but you actualy had to work to get one of the top 11 ranks, that was a good system and it was nice. I say bring back the having some simple to achieve titles but make the better ones where you have to work for, but boo to this only .0000001% of people can have titles now, I know they are prestige but seriously no one complained about how easy lower ranks where, why not add lower titles such as take your “first to 450 Alch” as Grand Master Alchemist change it to ElderGrand Master Alchemist and have one that is just “reach 450 alch”

also add a few for “Grand Master gatherer” and “Grandmaster Worker” where who ever has 450 of either 2 professions or 2 gathering skills gets them.

It’s disappointing to me in the sense that DK will instantly be taken out of the running for firsts in race and profession simply because they start at 55.

Also, people leveling in beta over and over again have a huge advantage over those that aren’t because they’ll actually know where the hell they are going all the time.

Poorly thought out and designed achievements for the loss.
