World of Warcraft at Ten Ton Hammer

Blizzard

Good morning from the WoW community team.

Some of the weapons from the Lich King are not as good as we had hoped. To encourage you to want these new weapons, we have decided to change some of the old combat ratings over to better ones. We have obtained a preview of these changes, for your perusal, on behalf of the Beijing development team.

• Royal Scepter of Terenas II: MP5 replaced with Haste Rating
• Archus, Greatstaff of Antonidas: Critical Strike Rating replaced with Haste Rating
• Heaven's Fall, Kryss of a Thousand Lies: Armor Penetration replaced with Haste Rating
• Fal'inrush, Defender of Quel'thalas: Haste Rating replaced with Armor Penetration

• Stormfury, Black Blade of the Betrayer: Armor Penetration replaced with Expertise

We tried a different approach to fix Vanish in a recent patch while it was up on the PTR. It didn't fix the problem (which has everything to do with spells already being in the air) and let rogues use Vanish as a second Cloak, which wasn't the intent. When we backed out that change, we said we were going to try a different approach where we calculate when spells are launched on the server side. Nothing has changed since then and I really can't give you any more information than that. Making more "Lol Vanish doesn't work" threads isn't going to speed that process along, and will just continue to annoy other forum participants.
