patch 5.2 ?

[Worldie]

Spiritfire Beam — Oondasta fires a beam of spiritfire energy at a player, inflicting 138750 to 161250 Fire damage and jumping to a nearby ally. Up to 20 players can be affected, with damage increasing by 50% with each jump.

Brings back C'thun memories.

Valor wont be converted to JP in 5.2.

They changed their mind?...

[sfrog]

Does anyone else think that maybe the Valor/Justice system is getting rather overly-complicated for what it's intended to be?

Just think of Justice as "Heirloom Points" and it's not that complicated.

[Newsom]

For those of you wondering if it's worth saving Valor instead of upgrading gear, here's what you can realistically buy off the bat in 5.2:
- 522 Neck at neutral for 1250 VP (Example: Striker's Battletags)
- 522 Ring at friendly for 1250 VP (Example: Loop of the Shado-Pan Assault)
- 522 Wrist at friendly for 1250 VP (Example: Axebinder Wristguards)

You can probably get to friendly the second week of 5.2 if you clear normal modes. Honored probably takes at least 3 weeks at which point you've already got 3000 valor again.

[Winkle]

It's rather annoying that two of first three items available just happen to share slots with loot from Protectors, which i already have the elite upgraded versions of. Still can't complain to much about something to buy at neutral.

[Newsom]

Yep. The neck at neutral is perfectly itemized though. Unless the heroic elite expertise neck decides to drop I'll likely save some valor to buy that piece. There is no point in capping to 3k before the patch though considering the gear is gated by reputation.

And for those who might just be tipping toes into normals, and will be waiting for LFR unlocks, you might be valor-capping and kinda stuck, which might be ok, less dailies for a few weeks until you can spend your capped valor.

I wouldn't say "perfectly" itemized. Remember that hit/exp >> haste > mastery in general. A hit/haste or exp/haste item is perfectly itemized. Haste/mastery is decent, but if you do that in too many slots you can't hit/exp cap.

The one thing about their statement is that you can get 3000 Valor from like yesterday before the patch goes live, which would definitely be impossible if the patch was going live on Feb 26th

Some departments aren't talking to each other again.

Or it's just been pushed back...

A soft date was given, no firm date.

[Darielle]

Even soft dates get some basis on the planning front, so you don't just announce them without an idea. If the "push back" is because "We need more testing done", and it's one day after, it still means two departments didn't talk to each other prior to an announcement saying they were targetting something their QA team knew couldn't be met at the time.

how would you compare 5.2 raid progression path versus previous tiers? (from a regular casual raid point of view - our rank is around #12000, which is ok compare to 50k ranked raid, being ahead of 2/3 is ok for us)


as a RL, i'm quite unhappy how difficulty was in 5.0 compare to Cata : currently, we are able to clean TES with our top roster (inclunding 1-2 PU in Friend list). but as soon as we switch 1 or 2 less "optimal" players : we struggle a lot in HoF , garalon being a fucking hard stoppper (even now, it can make us lost2hours+ on his down). It is at least a month we weekly kill the SHA (the 2 previous were even done in the same night without any stress) while we have just a few time trying Unsok... whereas in CATA, even our sub-player were able to joign later and still help us in progression
