No DK Cosmetic Changes in 3.0.8 and Other Blues

Here are a few blue posts from the past couple days. One that might clear up several questions is the DK cosmetic changes mentioned in the patch notes.

This line has been removed from the patch notes. This should be reflected on our website soon. There are no new physical features being added for death knights in 3.0.8.

Why no talents for DW tanking?

Ghostcrawler
On every spec for which we have allowed dual-wielding and propped it up with talents, DW tends to dominate.

It’s tricky, but we want death knights to have the option of DW for dps or tanking. Too many talents will push DW as the only way to go.

Old world instances that are impossible to solo due to mechanic issues, can we change this?

We’ve made some changes to several dungeons to allow easier access for players in the upcoming patch.

The ritual objects that used to require 3 players to activate in Blackrock Spire and Uldaman now only require 1.

You no longer need quintessence to summon Majordomo Executus.

You no longer need the Scepter of Celebras to teleport to the final section of Maraudon.

You no longer need the Mallet of Zul’Farrak to summon Gahz’rilla.

Nightbane is also being made accessible without the urn.

The Scepter and Mallet both turn into actual weapons. The change to the Mallet and Scepter into weapons will also change the existing items.

Ghostcrawler confirms, again, no new cosmetic changes for DKs and other questions.

Ghostcrawler
Are you considering allowing more then 1 DK per server?

Yes (we are considering it).

The notes say you added DK-specific facial features..

We actually have no idea how that patch note got in there. We haven’t made any changes to this feature as far as I know. We did add DK-specific faces back when LK shipped, so maybe it’s just a necro’d patch note. We have Top People investigating the issue. Top. People.

Spread the DK:

I’m sure it was inevitable, oh well…
