3.0.8 Patch Notes

PBH — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 15:27:44 GMT

DK - Icebound Fortitude now reduces damage by 20% instead of 50%. The amount of damage reduced increases with bonus Defense (to about 35% for 540 Defense, but can go higher).

This is a huge nerf. Along with weaker bone shield....Bliz wants us to all go blood now?

Whatever kills the current hunter retard spec that permates WoW is fine by me. As well as the Volley hunters who use volley as their only attack. Wow, hunters might actually have to show some skill and competance again.

And DK's needed to be buffed so people will stop using the half and half crap. But I disagree with the HERO thing. All the classes in the game are considered 'Heroes'. They aren't the average joe. These are exceptional individuals, otherwise they'd get 25 Stormwind guards to down the Lich King.

Why is everyone complaining about DKs getting buffed? why should they be nerfed? THE'RE A HERO CLASS """HERO"""CLASS""" i do agree its harder to beat a geared dk, possible cure would be nerfing them in bgs and arenas. or put them in a bg of there own. but please, stop complaining about dks. its old and tiresome. so many complaints about dk's till you take one with you into a raid or heroic! i dont hear compaints then!?!?

So... now the difference between Divine protection and Divine shield will be...? The penalty of Divine Protection is what? the 100% time between attacks? nerfing Divine shield from 100% to 50% and removing the attack time, Are they now going to be the same or what?

YES...Bliz did it again to the Hunters..They actually had an AOE that was viable...Now they go and NERF every freaking ability that made the Hunter nice to have in a group...Come on BLIZ quit screwing with the Hunters...The DKs are now way OP as it is and you Buff them more..get real.

# Deterrence: Design changed to grant 100% parry and 100% chance to "deflect" spells coming from the front, but prevents the Hunter from attacking. Lasts 5 sec. 60 sec. cooldown.

I don't understand what I'm supposed to do with Deterrence now. What, stand there and make sure I face the enemy (while getting blasted from behind), while I wait for my Disengage CD to expire? This significantly reduces my melee abilities, and makes it impossible to get away from anything without Disengage. I'll have an instant Counterattack if I'm Survival, but I can't even use that 'til I'm getting smacked after Deterrence is done. It was nice to at least be ABLE to kill something at melee range. I can dual-wield swords, but they just look pwetty...

Hunters are MAINLY ranged, not ONLY ranged. And melee was hard enough as it was!

Is this worded properly ?

Shaman: Lava Lash - Fixed a bug which allowed you to use the ability even if you had a shield in offhand. Now requires a 1hand axe, fist or dagger to be able to be used.

Meaning if i dual wield Maces i can not use my lava lash ability that i am specced for. Thats just silly.

To all those who cant seem to post with no profanity Good job I'm sure Blizz will make the game exactly what you want it to be if you use vulgar words to express your feelings. To put it bluntly GROW UP!!!!!!

I already have a god damn hard time trying to fight Dks but now their getting more OP and im getting nerfed? this is fukin ridiculous.

leanmean135 — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 13:41:48 GMT

Hunters getting nerfed? what the hell.

Malystra — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 04:51:39 GMT

well isn't this just great... two of my favorite classes, hunter and death knight, get steamrolled by the nerf brigade.

Ampd — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 02:41:24 GMT

Every 2 minutes 60% health and 60% mana... i like... Mages FTW

Wow Great We Get A Little Buff In 3.03 Now In 3.08 We Get Nerfed Again!

Buff Hunters Tbh.

babyyyyyy — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 01:55:49 GMT

how about less nerfing hunters in every patch ?

I second the Blessing of Kings problem, although it seems like it still does the larger amount, just doesn't show it on the tooltip. Hotfix maybe?

I'm sooooo glad to be getting a better summoning ritual as a warlock; I'm sick of going into low level raids with guildies and having to bring 2 bags of shards just to survive after all the summonings.
