Warcraft Micro-Patch 2.0.6

Posted on by

There’s a lil patch available in World of Warcraft today, 2.0.6 for those keeping track … also named the Hunter/Mage/Priest QQ More patch. I’m not calling it that because nobody likes to have their ultimate power taken away, but your fellow non-hunter, non-mage, non-priest players are calling it that.

I’m keeping my rogue mouth shut. Ever since they gave us an icon over mobs that could see through stealth, I knew, as I never had before, that someone at Blizzard LOVES their rogue. Love is a good thing and should always be encouraged.

Lil patch notes after the jump.

  3. Enjoy it while it lasts Foton.

    On a less bitter note, do you have COS yet? Planning on doing any arena? Wound posion omfg?

  4. Man, they need to nerf the Blood Elf female stealth animation. It’s awesome.

    Do yourself a favor and make one and get her to level 2 just to see it.

    (HINT: It involves being shorter then a gnome when stealthed standing still)

  5. Haha, I’ve seen it. It’s umm, interesting. Very interesting.

    Elbows – Ya, we’re going to have a few arena teams going. We spent some time pre-BC mapping out our formula for the Perfect Arena Team of Pwnage and, yes, it involves rogues.

  6. Well I guess it’s a good thing my pet does most of my damage for me (go go big red killing machine), the Arcane Shot and ranged attack reduction sucks.

  7. I wonder if this will fix the +62000 Stamina +51000 Fire Resistance (plus or minus a few thousand) plate shoulders a guildy was advertising last night.

  9. “* The bonus coefficient for ‘Shadow Word: Pain’ has been reduced by about 9%. This should result in about 5% less damage done by ‘Shadow Word: Pain’ for the typical priest.”

    But for your non-typical face melter, you still will be able to melt the hell out of anyones face, with an added 99% chance to aggravate them in the process as well.

  10. This patch means nothing in pvp, believe me :/ .. I still hate being 3 shotted by a hunter who is actually still on the move. This is about endgame pve dmg, they are bringing hunters, mages and the godly shadowpriest back into line, which I might add is just under the Rogue dps 😛

    Oh and Cloak of shadows kicks ass.

  11. AFAIK another patch, only server side and thus not numbered has been released the 23th:

    * Khorium has been added back into the game.
    * Lady Palanseer in the Hall of Legends and Captain Dirgehammer in the Champion’s Hall have returned and are now selling level 70 PvP rewards.
    * The drop rate of Draenei Prayer Beads for the quest “Digging for Prayer Beads” has been increased.
    * Fixed an issue where players were not getting rested experience in Shattrath on select realms.
    * Reduced the respawn time of the Zangarmarsh quest targets: Boglash, Lord Klaq, and Blacksting
