More news from the MMO-Champion datamining of the latest Wrath of the Lich King beta patch – a few interesting, if not slightly meaningful, profession changes.First in the Fishing department, casting times of items which attach to your fishing pole have been lowered from 5 seconds to 2 seconds. While this might not seem like a big deal, people who fish for a few hours a week for farming materials will now have a few minutes shaved off their daily grinding.
In the Alchemy department the Elixir of Shadow power, Elixir of Fire Power, and the Arcane Elixir all now last 1 hour, instead of 30 minutes.
Finally, the enchantments of Massacre (increase AP by 110), Greater Savagery (increase AP by 85), and Scouragebane (increase AP by 140 against Undead) have all been changed to apply to 2H weapons only. There have been some previous times in the beta where I've seen some folks running around with Massacre on both 1H weapons. Looks like that won't be an option anymore.
For those interested, the images are of potions from a Manaprincess giveaway we ran earlier this year.

We'll still see warriors with dual Massacre. Oh god.

That doesn't seem very right, balanced or fair at all, and I haven't even played beta.

I agree. Not balanced or fair at all. WTH are they thinking?
They, aren't, that is what.

No one is thinking. Too many Brains are unwillingly being eaten. If the Scourge forces are ever forced back, then maybe we will once again see our brilliant and good-change initiating devs again. But until that day, they are mindless pawns of the Lich King . . . .
