I hope this means the Treatise of Strategy will be easier to get!

So, the DS Nerf, is it not in LFR at all, or are you forced to use it in LFR?
Skyrei Feb 2nd 2012 11:14PM
The LFR is not affected positively or negitively by the 5% nerf. Twas just removed to not give people any ideas.
Skyrei Feb 2nd 2012 11:17PM
*Negatively

It says he no longer offers the option to disable it. From this I assume that the debuff will always be present in LFR and can not be turned off.
Jorges Feb 2nd 2012 11:43PM
The debuff DOES NOT exists in any form for LFR. It's feature for Normal and Heroic modes only. For some reason Lord Afrasastrasz was offering the option to disable it in LFR and this has been fixed.

Aaah, gotcha. I have not been in an LFR this week. :)

I don't see the issue with the change that disables the ability to turn the buff off in the LFR. Think of how many dicks would turn it off just to troll the group.

The other day when I did The Pit of Scales on my alt I had to resort to a GM ticket to finish the quest, luckily it only took 5 minutes for them to respond to my ticket and another 5 minutes to complete the quest for me. (It involved me logging out and the GM actually logging into my character and doing a GM thingy)
Im glad this bug got fixed :)

My 83 rogue has been sitting in Uldum for a couple a weeks because of Pit of Scales. I did it last night and there were no mysterious invisible creatures killing me.
Thanks for the fix, Blizz

I just sold my Treatise yesterday, after holding on to it for a while and initially planning to use it myself. Perfect timing, hahaha.

Yes, I did the same thing. Mine sold for 10k. Very good timing!

Sadly they also fixed the water jumping bug were players could move full speed through water by spamming jump.

I noticed that too. So sad... :(

Yay!! No more mass dispell bug! I thought I was going insane for a while on Zon'ozz. After trying for three waves to mass dispell the debuffs, I resorted to just dispelling individually... Btw, is that how all you other healers have to do it? Gross...
