Did they bring back that Kalgan moron? He had a stiffy of biblical proportions for warlock nerfs.

Funny they nerf the damage output of the caster with the least defenses and at the same time buff mages some more.

I played a dwarven mage in beta so I'm glad to finally be able to resurrect him.

Yeah, I don't play a lock, but like all have been smeared by them since '04 lol. Even though, never one to cry about it. I say ouch, and I feel for the lock players, they just got slammed hard with dmg nerfs.

I can see reducing the power of a Warlock. They were doing a bit better than they should. What I don't understand is reducing Warrior. They were already the worse at just about everything.

Rofl.

The nerfbat swingeth, I had to look quite hard to find a change that wasn't a nerf.

Like I said, GC has no idea what he is doing, just nerfs across the board.

Geez. Glad I switched from my warlock.

Yep, warlocks took it hard. 12% nerf across the board. Warriors took it pretty bad too. I'd even say worse.

Warrior

this is pretty exciting. can't wait to log in and explore the new areas on my level 80. then afterwards my gnome priest will be born. i am happy the shattering is happening early, because i am going to have to moderate my play time between expansion launch and xmas vacation start....busy time of year for me.

I didnt anticipate this but Im still very happy I deleted my 80 warrior.

Maybe the answer to fixing hunters was to nerf everyone else.
