Newest Inscription Items, News Round Up

Pubblicato 01/08/2012 alle 12:13 da perculia

We now know where "Heroic Elite" items are from: defeating Protettore Kaolan last on the Protectors of the Endless Encounter. These items are ilvl 516 (Grancalzari Impuri di Asani), while regular heroic items are ilvl 509 (Grancalzari Impuri di Asani).

Ghostcrawler confirmed that it's a deliberate move to have secondary-stat gems like Onice Vermiglio Mortale have beefed up stats in comparison to primary-stat gems like Rubino Primordiale Delicato. In Cata, players stacked primary stat gems and they want socketing to be more interesting in Mists.

All'avanguardia: Volontà dell'Imperatore and similar Feats of Strength can only be obtained in their current tier, so players can't go back later with better gear to get it.

More infomation on the staggered raid release schedule in Mists: Cuore della Paura and Terrazza dell'Eterna Primavera are scheduled to be released on normal difficulty four weeks after Segrete Mogu'shan.

Inscription PerksToys and Pets

In recent patches, Scribes can make some vanity pets and origami toys. There weren't pets in Cataclysm, but there were origami objects like Scarabeo di Origami.

Right now on beta, Aquilone di Chi-Ji and Aquilone di Yu'lon aren't learned from trainers. Their models are completely new and awesome, so we hope this gets changed!

Two new origami objects require 600 Inscription: Gru di Origami and Rana di Origami.

Epic Weapons

One perk to being a scribe is the ability to craft upgradable weapons that turn into ilvl 476 epics.

You will need Spirito dell'Armonia to craft all the weapons, which is a BoP drop, and more importantly, will need 20 Pergamena della Saggezza for the epic weapons and 5 Pergamena della Saggezza for the epic offhands.

Pergamena della Saggezza can only be created once a day and are BoP, so you might find something better in the few weeks it takes to make them all.

The bonus is that all these weapons are Bind-on-Account, so any alts will get a free epic.

We have the models for these weapons below: click to view them with our 3D modelviewer.

If you're tired of the weapon, you can redeem it for more Pergamena della Saggezza: Bastone della Gru Inciso.

Staggered Raid Releases

Crithto

We’ve been keeping a very close eye on the feedback players have shared for both Cataclysm and Mists of Pandaria raiding. We saw a lot of evidence and heard a lot of feedback which indicated that raid content was a little overwhelming at the beginning of Cataclysm. Our goal is to smooth that out a bit in Mists of Pandaria. Keep in mind, Segrete Mogu'shan opens up one week after Mists of Pandaria launches. And with its Heroic mode even the most seasoned raiders should be pretty busy. Once the raid dungeon has been cleared by a group on normal mode they’ll unlock Heroic mode, a definite ramp up in challenge. Also note, similar to Dragon Soul, Raid Finder mode for Segrete Mogu'shan will be available about one week after the normal raid has been opened.

Rather than putting a lot of pressure on players by opening up sixteen raid bosses in three separate difficulties upon release of the expansion, we hope you’ll have a chance to really dig into the lore, the gorgeous new continent, the amazing new quests, and all of the other goodies that are far too numerable to mention. Our intention here is not to artificially extend the life of the 5.0 content, but rather to pace it better than we have in previous releases. This is why we noted that a few weeks after zone=6125] opens, raid instances Cuore della Paura and Terrazza dell'Eterna Primavera will become available. These dungeons will still very much be hot on the heels of Segrete Mogu'shan, particularly for the large majority of players progressing through Pandaria.

Here’s a basic breakdown of the pattern we’d like to follow for all upcoming raids: Dungeon opens on normal difficulty --> Heroic mode is unlocked once normal mode is completed --> the Raid Finder version becomes available about one week after the raid’s initial opening. To review all of the latest Mists raid release details, everyone is encouraged to check out our latest blog, Blizzard Insider #45 – Mists of Pandaria – Raid Preview, which has a wealth of exciting new information.

On a final note, thank you to everyone who has been testing the new content, sharing your feedback, and helping us bring you the most epic game possible! It cannot be said enough, but we genuinely appreciate it. =)
We thought our intent was made pretty clear in the Blizzard Insider article, as well as in my original post. But, if it’ll ease your concern, I’ll be more specific!

Raid dungeons Cuore della Paura and Terrazza dell'Eterna Primavera are scheduled to be released on normal difficulty four weeks after Segrete Mogu'shan has been opened. ;)

Veteran Players from Vanilla

Taepsilum

You're right, that actually tends to happen, it's easy to fall into that kind of discourse, although it doesn't necessarily make anyone's opinion more valid than anyone else’s, and quite often that kind of speech tends to be very nostalgic and distorts reality, making it hard to show an impartial opinion.

Still, for the players that experienced it, myself included, it is quite a big deal, and naturally so, but that doesn't mean that the game was better back then, on the contrary, the game has improved immensely since then. It is only normal for players that experienced it to sometimes claim that they miss certain features or actually miss the lack of them (flying mounts, 40man raids, no LFR, no content skipping, etc.).

I must admit that occasionally I say the same thing as well, but not with the intention of making my opinion seem more important, it frequently happens when I'm talking about the game’s evolution.

Consuming Content Too Fast

Draztal

Other than world firsts, was there ever any prestige to killing a boss? (outside the guild itself achieving that kill)

Heck, even people following the race don't care who killed a boss 2nd in the world, much less 20th...
Sure, realm firsts might also have some prestige on the realm level, you're absolutely right. But as before, other than that... (and perhaps the first faction kill on the realm, as well).
You're reading too much into that post :-)

Actually, challenge dungeons will help bring back that realm community feeling that might be missing for some of you, as groups for those dungeons have to be manually formed.
You didn't understand my post at all. I said it very clear, outside the guild itself (which is what you mention in your post), not many players really care about who killed a boss other than world first and perhaps their realm first.
Read my post again, that's not what I meant (and I even specified it on that post). Of course your guild cares about its position. People outside your guild, though, probably don't (unless they're looking for a guild to apply to) unless you're world first/realm first/country first/etc. Hopefully now what I was trying to get through makes sense? It's not about how your guildmates feel about your position.
Okay. Nobody cares what guild killed Heroic Ragnaros heroic 4th, but they will care about AoE fest speed runs? What is the point of Blizzard adding Challenge mode dungeons when competition does not matter?

They are adding a FoS for killing heroic bosses in MoP without the nerf. One can only hope that this FoS will disappear once the next tier comes out, otherwise it's a pretty pointless feat of strength.I have always wondered why on earth blizzard releases % based nerfs that lower the difficulty of a fight through a buff or debuff. I mean by the time the nerfs are released ppl are hardly even geared in normal gear. Wouldn’t a better way to nerf content be to up the drop chance of items in the normal version? After all items are just another way of giving players a buff. Items are supposed to be the hidden in game nerfing that happens all the time jet it seems to hold no weight anymore.
When the time comes where blizzard says ok we have to nerf a raid zone now, they could increase the drop chance of loot in normal to maybe double of what usually drops(or more) then you will gear people faster and they will then be able to enter heroics. This way you are not making normal mode irrelevant to players, your actually making it more relevant.
You buffs/nerfs will be player/guild based and more importantly it will not feel like blizzard is stepping in and dumbing down the fights for you. You still killed the fight unnerfed just like the best guilds, it just took a bit longer.Simple answer is of course that they don't know. All that stuff about devs and data is nothing but smoke and mirrors. The planned debuffs are well proclaimed months in advance for one reason only. To keep the majority of the player base subscribed through yet another carrot on a stick.

Boss too hard? "Don't worry lads and lasses it gets nerfed in two weeks time". Ah thats alright then, back to faceroll.1.Will there be an achievement or are they planning an achievement for clearing all bosses of the raid on heroic without nerfs? (Cutting the Edge Heroic:<Name of the Raid> for example).

2. Will the be any title rewards from these FoS achievements or are there any plans?LFR

Draztal

Yes i could skip LFR altogether, but the tier bonuses are something most players want and are needed to become competitive.

Anima del Dragoand yet, you guys have made running older tiers obsolete, with forcing (by gear i mean) to chain run the latests tier raid.. feels kind of silly, yes?appease people who think that paying for a game entitles you to see all the contentWhy not just mail everyone the BiS items and rarest mounts?Raiders complain they have to raid LFR to get the improvements.Account Wide PvP Mounts

Mumper

All arena mount rewards and their associated FoS are unique per character. This might be bugged in the current build though.

What You'll Miss Heading Into MoP

Taepsilum

Experiencing cool new boss mechanics like on Atramedes and Alysrazor.
Actually I enjoyed quite a few boss fights on heroic, Nefarian's End, Conclave of Wind, Valiona, and I really enjoyed most of the Boss encounters in Terre del Fuoco, easily my favourite Cataclysm raid, I had so much fun there with so many characters!

I've always loved the start of every expansion, running 5 man dungeons with friends when we're all still undergeared is quite a blast. But I'm sure I'll have plenty of that kind of fun on Mists of Pandaria, this expansion is going to have more to do at the endgame than ever before, I'm particularly interested in trying out challenge modes.

Also, Uldum!

Mana Bandages

Takralus

I'd have to agree with the earlier observation that mana is simply a resource, whereas health is essential, and the existing bandages can be a last minute life-saver.

A few questions that popped into my mind: Why should mana users get another way to regenerate their resource on top of all the regen abilities and potions they already have available? Isn't the ability to conserve mana and use it wisely part of the challenge of the game? Wouldn't it give mana users an unfair advantage over the classes that don't use mana? Are you suggesting all classes have a bandage-esque way to regenerate their resource? What about classes that regenerate their resource differently, wouldn't this new method be either practically useless or very overpowered?

Beta Class Balance AnalysisGeneral

Ghostcrawler

Is it intended that secondary stats now have twice the itemization budget of primary stats in terms of gems

it's ignored for the sake of game balancing.Druido

Ghostcrawler

- being stronger than is intended.
- We’re investigating some bugs on Tranquillità and Crescita Rigogliosa under extreme haste (e.g. Anima della Foresta).
- should scale with your crit and haste.
Bloom's nerf now puts its mastery buffed healing per Shroom at 9.25k (LvL 90, full PvP gear, no gems/enchants/buffs).

For a 25man that number is somewhat acceptable if you manage to heal 10+ people with all 3 Shrooms for a total of only 277.5k healing done (without DR or AoE cap). After at least 3 GCDs of set up that just does not make it that attractive of a spell.

Is it intended that Bonus Armor is affected by Guardian Mastery? For example the Elisir dei Mantid which provides +2250 Armor is multiplied by the Guardian Mastery for a bonus of 2475 armor (before gear and buffs).

Ghostcrawler

One concern about the latest changes to marksmanship hunters- the new mastery proc rate seems problematic to me. If I'm doing the math correctly, this puts a 7200 mastery rating hard cap on MM hunters, since that seems to be the amount of mastery rating at which you have a 100% proc rate on wild quiver.

Ghostcrawler

Giudizio is once again a melee attack that has a 30-yard range. (Yes, re-read that to make sure you didn’t misread it...)

Edit: Judgement is also spelled Giudizio now. The developers are playing nasty tricks on me to make sure I'm awake. :)
and Spell Haste

Ghostcrawler

We're just not seeing healing priests falling behind on HPM or HPS in the current raid or challenge mode testing. I don't want to dismiss the concerns though, and we will keep an eye on it. Lack of "raid utility" is a very slippery beast. In my experience, healers always think their particular character lacks it. We believe however that all of the healers will continue to see plenty of PvE use, as they did in Cataclysm, and we want to get more of them competitive in PvP.
Any changes expected for priests? I don't think Blizzard even knows what to do with the class.

Ghostcrawler

Parola del Potere: Conforto is intended to be a choice. Those of you saying you *have* to have a fast cast time because you *have* to spam Parola del Potere: Conforto or you'll have no mana are arguing for the wrong thing, because I hope it's obvious that isn't the intent.

I know some of you are worried about your priest (and before that it was shaman and before that it was paladin and I probably missed druid in there somewhere) but we also have to rectify that with the performance and opinions of the players we see tackling the content on beta. If you want to be as helpful as possible, try to be very explicit with the situations and cases you feel your priest can't handle. The more detailed, the better. What spells are you casting? Which encounters? What feels different from Catclysm, remembering that you are no longer in end level gear?

We think it is possible to balance active vs passive regen. The key is in how healers use mana. Nobody needs infinite regen. You just need enough to heal a fight. If you consider a fight where you never have to heal, then Parola del Potere: Conforto will crush any other mana return because you have so many free GCDs in which to spam it. However, you also don't need that mana for healing in the contrived fight with no healing. As fight intensity increases, the need for mana increases BUT the time available for Parola del Potere: Conforto decreases. Parola del Potere: Conforto will work best on fights where there is very intensive healing followed by quiet periods in which you can nuke. But depending on the timing, Plagiamente might work for those fights just as well.

We don't like Parola del Potere: Conforto with a cooldown because then you feel like you must use it on cooldown. With no cooldown, then is there is a continuum between fights where you have free time but need mana and fights where every cast time must be spent on a heal. The choice becomes the priest's.

I'm still seeing a lot of "I need to spam Parola del Potere: Conforto so make it more spamable" responses. You're not going to convince us with that argument. Let us know in what specific situations you are struggling with mana and what types of spells you are trying to cast. That is the actual issue in our minds.

I am also still seeing a lot of "we have provided you with the evidence." I wouldn't be asking if you had. There are maybe 3 links to parses and a couple more with any kinds of numbers at all. If you feel it is that easy to make your case, then make it. :)

As an aside, the only thing we didn't like about Glifo Carbonizzato as active mana generation was that it scaled too well with gear (in 4.3) and would have been a mandaory glyph (in 5.0).

It's a very common thing that when people feel they aren't being listened to they complain louder and more frequently.

Ghostcrawler

+ Totem dell'Acqua Healing

Ghostcrawler

As I said in the other thread, the intent of Glifo Carbonizzato is for free s. If the trivial amount of mana gain interests you, that doesn't offend us. We don't believe or intend for it to be a mandatory glyph.

To clear up th history of the mechanic, it was originally intended to be a way for Resto shaman to feel like they could contribute DPS when they didn't need to heal. It wasn't intended as a mana regen mechanic. It absolutely became one when mana pools became high. We try not to make changes just because the design ends up being something not originally intended, as long as we think the gameplay is acceptable. It was reasonably acceptable in say 4.2 and got to the point where we didn't like it in 4.3, but still not worth chnging -- we try to reserve changes for expansions and not patches unless we think they are important. In 5.0 it is time to return the mechanic back to an optional way to contribute some damage for Resto. A glyph isn't the right way to deliver active mana return for a healer. It's not fair to shaman to have to take the glyph or to other healers who don't have that option.
As an Enhancement Shaman, I'm much more concerned about -

1) Whether is supposed to activate off special attacks or not (far as I can tell we haven't gotten an answer about that yet).

Assalto PrimordialeAssalto della TempestaSferzata Lavica

Ghostcrawler

Warlocks, we want to mention that one thing inflating Demonology on beta currently is a bug with Decimation, which is making it trigger from Dardo d'Ombras on targets at any health % a majority of the time. That’s going to significantly influence target dummy comparisons. That’ll be fixed in the next build. (This isn’t to say that Demonology isn’t higher than Affliction/Destruction, but it's a discrepancy worth noting.)

As a result of the change to 's mechanics, Agonia now takes twice as long to ramp up, since the ticks are no longer faster under 's channel. Is this additional nerf intended?

The tooltip for Notte Fonda says that it's now a 5% chance instead of the previous 10% chance. Since Notte Fonda was actually a stacking 2% chance, is there any change to it's internal mechanics? Do extra ticks caused by and cause Notte Fonda procs? Finally, is the Soul Shard generation component of actually removed, or was it just moved off of the tooltip?

edit: Also, the tooltip for is a bit confusing. It says that it causes your DoTs to instantly do 50% normal periodic damage every 1 second when does damage. Does that instant damage count as periodic damage for related effects (Notte Fonda for Corruzione, trinket effects related to DoT ticks, etc)? Does that instant damage happen every 1 second regardless of haste or does it happen when does damage?Notte FondaNotte FondaNotte FondaHaste scaling was nerfed significantly through this.
- Under the old model, the scaling of the extra dots was linear with the scaling of haste on additional dot ticks during the duration. In other words, as I go from six to seven ticks of my Corruzione, for a full channel I go from 12, to 14 ticks total.
- Under the new model, as I go from 9 to 10 ticks on my Corruzione, isn't giving me any extra ticks on the channel, and I'm therefore not getting any extra ticks on Corruzione. I do realize will eventually gain another tick, but not nearly as fast as my dots will...in other words the linear scaling will no longer apply.The spec is now bound to 's ticks rather than 's channel.
- Under the new model, the haste effect of the Dot is tied to a discreet amount of channeling, i.e. 1 second. .9 secs of channeling gives me nothing. 1.9 secs of channeling isn't any better than 1 second of channeling. This brings latency and the need to move into the spec in a way that's hugely detrimental to a huge chunk of our damage. The old didn't have this issue, every instant spent channeling was beneficial to our DPS. This is hard to model in a simulation and easy to ignore, but this will matter and makes the spec significantly harder to manage for the average player. It's true that not waiting for a tick of before "hurt" your dps, but the effect was miniscule compared to the effect under the new design.Affliction's best stat is now mastery, by far, with haste being down where crit is, but our grants haste. Point for point we gain the least from our . Now the numbers are very okay at the moment, so it would be iffy to cause to grant the "highest" stat rather than the stat favored by the spec that you decide on, it just really bothers me that our main cd is worth (stat weights included) 33% less than the other two.CorruzioneMy personal testing on target dummies and every sim i've seen is now hoping Affliction at the bottom of the warlock heap

Commento di deathbyteIs there a reason that I can not see this on the forums if no one has posted a comment yet? I know it should be there from facebook and thats how I then get there, but first I am normally on the forums. Is there anyway I can fix this? It happens with every Wowhead news post

(or should i put this in the feedback forums?)Commento di AdamsmLol, that's pretty cool, a Keyblade staff ^_^ Gonna have to make sure I get a Scribe up to make that for all my casters.Commento di Plutofourthat's nice that they finally give staff crafting to something... try giving enchanters more wands please heh.Commento di Tenjenaha love that drinking game ghostcrawler joked about (i think)Commento di darkpredJust a heads up the Inscribed Tiger Staff image is linked the to the wrong model viewer, I double checked the item page and the model viewer there is showing the right model so looks like an incorrect link.Commento di Tenjenoh and yah those staves are AWESOME.Commento di hakweaNever mind guess I should have just clicked the item link. Its a quest that allows you to turn the Epic Staffs into a NPC for 10 scrolls.

Bastone della Gru IncisoCommento di perculiaThe quest shows up in the 'starts' tab on the item page--if you want to get rid of a staff, for example, you could turn it in for Bastone della Serpe Inciso and get 10x Pergamena della Saggezza.

Added a line about the quests and fixed the model image. My inscription is leveled up a bit, but I don't have enough Pergamena della Saggezza yet to try this out for myself.Commento di RankkorLol, that's pretty cool, a Keyblade staff ^_^ Gonna have to make sure I get a Scribe up to make that for all my casters.EjemCommento di AdamsmLol, well what did you expect Rank?Commento di InterestThe Hunter mastery cap thing made me chuckle =P.Commento di 1005030This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Commento di perculiaIt's probably meant to be a nice first-tier profession perk, just like engineering goggles. Your scribe can get an epic weapon boost when first hitting 90, but it's not better than raid weapons.Commento di VolttI like how they're making up gradable weapons for at least one prof.

I miss the old blacksmith weaponsCommento di Brandonly17What is inscription the new weaponsmith...? lol

Throw Blacksmiths a damn bone, the Blacksmith models are god awful compared to these models for Inscription.Commento di AzrileI'm a little confused on the inscription staffs. The rare lvl 85 version is BOE and the epic lvl 90 version is BOA. And the recipe to craft the epic version requires the rare version. So I craft a staff for one of my other toons, they use it and it is bound to them. They hit 90 and I have a soulbound staff I can't send back to my scribe to upgrade...Commento di AlkonyAwesome! Glad the inscription items will be BOA as my scribe is a lesser used alt.

Oh, there's a coding issue in Critho's comment. "a few weeks after zone=6125] opens"Commento di RuhigI am so pumped for my new panda now. Always planned on making him a monk with Inscription, given the symmetry of China's history with writing and art. And now I find I can make +Agi staves? And epic ones, at that? :DCommento di SirusStarseekerThe Keyblade? Do want, but don't you think we could have used its power earlier?Commento di clockypwnzLooks like Warlocks are giving Ghosty some problems :P
