Okay, here’s a round-up of what happened in 12942 that affects holy paladins as well as some general stuff.<\/p>\n

Illumination: Gone for real.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, that’s it. The last remaining vestiges of Illumination are gone. You may recall that I did some thorough testing earlier in the week that indicated it was still around and the reason was basically that since it was no longer a talent, it was not removed from my repertoire of abilities with a simple wipe of the talents.<\/p>\n

It is now gone from the game entirely.<\/p>\n

Holy Shock: Now with 30% less healing<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Holy Shock, at level 84, with 3705 spellpower, Seal of Insight up and the Glyph of Seal of Insight (essentially Seal of Light and its glyph as they are in-game currently), now hits for…<\/p>\n

6254, 6283, 6086, 6205, 6088, 6236, 6138, 6075, 6224, 6091.<\/p>\n

Crits:<\/p>\n

9519, 9646, 9677.<\/p>\n

Holy Power: Decay & Combat Text
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

I do believe Holy Power now decays at a rate of one charge per 10 seconds. This is a new change, different from last build (no decay) and the original builds with Holy Power, which held on to all the charges over the course of 30 seconds before dropping them all at once.<\/p>\n

It’s also been added to the scrolling combat text Blizzard provides, showing when you gain charges of Holy Power, either through Holy Shock, Tower of Radiance, Crusader Strike or Eternal Glory. (+1 Holy Power, +3 Holy Power, etc)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Daybreak: “Power Aura” change<\/strong><\/p>\n

Daybreak’s alert graphic has changed. I actually liked the old one better.<\/p>\n

New:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Old (click for larger):<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Guilds:<\/strong><\/p>\n

A little screwed up right now. I was having a lot of trouble inviting someone to the guild, although it eventually rectified itself. This could just be lag, but Kody at World of Raids<\/a> couldn’t invite my shammy to the guild, so… Who knows?<\/p>\n

You can now force a rank in a guild to need an authenticator! This is actually busted in beta in that Kody has an authenticator that wasn’t recognized by the in-game system, but…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cash Flow (Level 5 – 5% of what you looted as cash gets generated and deposited into the guild bank) is actually working! I justed looted 9s10c and 45 copper was just deposited on my behalf.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Heirlooms are linked to guilds. A guild must reach Level 10 to unlock access to the heirloom cloaks, which increase experience gained by 5%.<\/p>\n

Heirloom helms require a guild to reach Level 20.<\/p>\n

I’m pretty sure this is moderately screwed up as well, because some of them are costing 20,000g and some of them 2s50c and some of them 120g.<\/p>\n

What’s very interesting is the recipe for the Cataclysm equivalent of the Fish Feast (Seafood Magnifique Feast) is something you get from the guild. So is the lesser version. The Seafood Magnifique Feast gives you 90 stamina and 90 in another “useful” stat, and the lesser version is 60 stam\/60 other.<\/p>\n

I would imagine, then, that if you got these recipes (oh god, these requirements have to be wrong!), you would lose them if you left the guild.<\/p>\n

The crazy-ass requirements for these recipes:<\/p>\n

Seafood Magnifique Feast: Catch 50,000 fish from fishing pools.<\/p>\n

Broiled Dragon Feast: Place 5,000 feasts.<\/p>\n

At least no one will be getting the Reins of the Dark Phoenix anytime soon. The requirement is Glory of the Cataclysm Raider. Good luck with that. ;)<\/p>\n

Flying:<\/strong><\/p>\n

In order to fly in Azeroth, you MUST first purchase Azerothian Navigation for 250g from a flying trainer. This is available at Level 60.<\/p>\n

As an aside, the spectral gryphons are at full speed again!<\/p>\n

Zones:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Uldum has had some quests added, but I still don’t think anything’s itemized yet. Not sure about Twilight Highlands, but I have to assume the same.<\/p>\n

Instances\/Freezing:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Freezing issues seem resolved. Stonecore is still not itemized.<\/p>\n

Blizzard Raid Frames:<\/strong><\/p>\n

At some point, they became more customizable to show actual useful information, like health, etc. I popped into Stonecore for a few pulls and a boss before the tank left the group and set mine up like this.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had trouble healing the mage — he wasn’t recognized by my Clique. I changed my Clique.lua to recognize CompactPartyFrameMember5 but I’m not sure if that’ll work and I won’t be able to tell you for a bit because there’s no groups at 6am. ;)<\/p>\n

Archaeology:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trainable, in the game, people having issues with it. But it’s getting there.<\/p>\n

Aaaaaaand I think that’s about it for now. I should probably get back to sleep at some point here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
