Breakfast topic: Your favourite patch 3.3.3 change?

- The changes with the Frozen Orbs being greed only and the new uses for it? Excellent.
- Auction house updates and cooldown removals? Nice. I'm a tailor myself. Free raid buffs just by being able to manufacture the specialty cloths anywhere, right?
- Changes to the way raid buffs function? Score!
- I haven't tried out the new Random Battleground system yet, but I think I'll be sold on it as well.
- The changes to the healing priest tier 10 4 piece bonus. (Redesigned. This bonus now increases the effectiveness of the caster's Power Word: Shield by 5% and Circle of Healing by 10%.)
- The ability to skip the Culling of Stratholme introduction dialog. In my dungeon runs, I'd always see players who drop group upon finding out that was the instance we were in. Truly awesome!

The moonkin starfall buff. Now, when stars fall out of the sky, they don't just tickle!

Now they're more like punches from the sky. Ow.

The Starfall damage is insane now. I was in a random with a decently geared chicken and he popped starfall and everything died.

Being disconnected every five seconds, for sure. Remind me why I have an authenticator again? :(

That I just bought "legacy" pvp set for my paladin and she can actually use them in combat. Shiny!
Basically all pvp changes. We just won match in pvp and its been a while since that happened..

So is it significantly better now? Havent had a chance to test it out myself
Valt Mar 27th 2010 7:51AM
It still wont compete against dps for combat or muti in pve but for PvP and Heroics it sure is going to be "Fun spec for people who like to have fun not numbers". Kinda like BM.

As much as i love the skipplable dramatics in CoS that still doesn't stop me from having to plow through it EVERY SINGLE DAY!!
Elwoods Mar 24th 2010 10:50AM
Dont do heroics? There are only so many of them :)

RANDOM BGs FTW! Queue times are about 5 to 10 seconds on average and I gained 43k honor in one night. x-D

so does that mean that epic gems may finally fall in price?
At the moment its about 250g for a spelpower epic.
Oh and skipping CoS is a great change. 7 badges in about 20 mins

to the person above, yes lets destroy one of the last marketable items.
Aaron Mar 24th 2010 9:04AM
If you need gems, buy them on the weekend. Everyone undercuts so low on the weekends that most popular gems will drop from 250 to about 150-160 by Sunday. You know what you need so stock up. ; )

what server/faction are you on? i want instant queues. my queues take 10-15 min on stormstrike.
Vel Mar 24th 2010 11:25AM
I made 88k honor last night was awesome the sheer amount that you can get is mind blowing.
Tap Mar 25th 2010 2:13PM
Is 75k honor still the cap or did that change?
Aaron Mar 25th 2010 3:56PM
I'm not sure. I'm gearing up for Areana (late in the season I know :P ) so I'm spending it as fast as I earn it.
I'll get up to 75k soon though so we shall see.

Buffs to DW frost! Now if i only had the weapons to pull it off...
Jessca Mar 24th 2010 8:15AM
Wow, what a coincidence, that was MY favourite part too! :-/ I spent the whole evening getting disconnected every 3 minutes like clockwork. I kept thinking it was my internet connection because it didn't seem to be happening to the other people I was playing with. Now I realize it was because I'm the one with an authenticator.
