Обновилось описание патча 3.2 PTR

Список изменений тестируемого патча 3.2.0 к World of Warcraft был обновлён в 3-й раз. Самое приятное из описанных новшеств - "демонтаж" огненных стен на Арене Доблести (Ring of Valor).

О прочих нововведениях патча на английском языке читайте ниже. Официальный перевод последних поправок ещё не подоспел, поэтому сейчас можно довольствоваться только устаревшим русским описанием апдейта (от 7-го июля).

Изменения патча 3.2.0 PTR от 16.07.09   PvP

• Arenas
  • Ring of Valor
    • The flame wall has been removed.
  • Ruins of Lordaeron
    • Two line-of-sight tombstones have been added to the slime pool on the southern side of the map.
• Wintergrasp
  • Against the Odds: This achievement has been removed and converted to a Feat of Strength.

Raids and Dungeons

• Ulduar
  • An Immortal Guardian targeted for Empowering Shadows in the Yogg-Saron encounter will now become a ''Marked Immortal Guardian'' while targeted.
  • Crusher Tentacles in the Yogg-Saron encounter spawn a little slower in 25-player mode allowing a bit more time for players to clear out the Illusion room.
  • Empowering Shadows in the Yogg-Saron encounter now targets a maximum of three Immortal Guardians in 25-player mode.
  • Yogg-Saron''s health has been reduced by 20% in the final stage of his 25-player mode.

Items: General

• Items with Triggered Effects: These items generally have cooldowns on how often they can be triggered. Those cooldowns are now triggered each time the item is equipped (example: A trinket has a 45-second cooldown on an effect triggered by player attacks; when a player equips that item, the effect will be unable to be triggered for the first 45 seconds it is worn).

Paladin

• Crusader Aura: This ability now also grants its flying speed increase to a druid’s Flight Form and Swift Flight Form.

Shaman

• A customizable totem bar will now be available for shamans allowing the storing of 4 different totems. These totems can be placed on the ground at once in one global cooldown for the combined mana cost of all 4 totems. The naming scheme of the spells to summon the different totem sets has been changed to make it less confusing for players:
  • Call of Fire (Totem Bar 1, the first one gained at level 30) is now named Call of the Elements.
  • Call of Water (Totem Bar 2) is now named Call of the Ancestors.
  • Call of Fire (Totem Bar 3) is now named Call of the Spirits.
  • Call of Earth (the spell to recall all summoned totems) is now named Totemic Recall.

Warlock

• Talents
  • Destruction
    • Improved Shadow Bolt: Redesigned slightly. Instead of a 100% chance to apply a 1/2/3/4/5% critical strike increase on the target, it now has a 20/40/60/80/100% chance to apply a 5% critical strike increase.

Warrior

• Talents
  • Protection
    • Devastate: Weapon damage and bonus per Sunder Armor on the target increased by 100%.
