Shaman Class Updates in Cataclysm!
Edit: Further posts have clarified some of your questions. Check after the break for the updates!
Nethaera has posted the shaman changes on the official forums!
A lot of interesting changes here, including a full explanation of the bonuses afforded by the
Mastery System
. Let's hear from the shamans in the audience! Awesomeness? Outrage? What's it going to be?
We'll be adding the full details to our
Cataclysm Guide
shortly. You can read the full text after the break!

Cataclysm: Blood is for Tank
Ghostcrawler just dropped a bomb on the
Death Knight
community—It seems Blizzard has aborted their "tri-tank" policy with death knights, and committed to a single "tanking spec" for Death Knights:
Blood.
The tree itself will contain some new abilities similar to
, and some more of the fun tanking talents from Frost and Unholy will be moved to Blood. Some of the more clunky mechanics like
will be changed, or even removed.
Check out the quote after the break to see the reasoning.

Enhancement Shaman Buff
Ghostcrawler has just announced an interesting hotfix planned for Enhancement Shamans:
will be increased from 25% to 30% with the full 5 ranks. Blizzard hopes this will give Enhancement that slight boost needed to keep them even with the rest of the raid.
He also goes on to say that they
do
agree enhancement does have some survivability problems, and while they don't have any changes to deploy right now, it is something they'd like to fix in a future patch.
We agree with some of the recent discussion about Enhancement dps. We are going to hotfix a change to the Flurry talent to increase it from 25% to 30% attack speed with 5 ranks.
We also agree that Enhancement may have survivability problems and understand that players don't necessarily feel they can afford the bonus Stamina from the Toughness talent, at least in PvE. We don't have an immediate change to deploy here, but it's something we'd like to fix and a candidate for future patches.

New Recruit-A-Friend Mount
Meet the
Прогулочная ракета X-53
, a state of the art, two-seater rocket that will automatically change between all different speeds depending on your flight skill. This new mount will be replacing the
Стремительная жевра
mount currently received as part of the
Recruit-A-Friend
program.
The model for this bad-ass new rocket can be seen to the right.
Beginning in just a few days, players who participate in the Recruit-A-Friend program will receive a whole new reward for showing a friend the ropes in Azeroth: the X-53 Touring Rocket, a two-seater flying mount that automatically increases its speed as your mount skill improves (up to 310% speed if you already have a 310% mount). The X-53 will be replacing the current Zhevra mount reward, which is retiring from the Recruit-A-Friend business after a good run. If you've already claimed a Zhevra (or claim one prior to the change), you’ll be able to hang on to it, of course. We’ll have more details on the new Recruit-A-Friend mount once it becomes availabl

Cataclysm Class Information Coming Soon
Bashiok, who you may remember as Drysc, has posted the schedule for information about
Cataclysm
class changes. Some of the information you should expect to see are
new spells
from 80-85, passive
mastery bonuses
, a brief outline of changes that are planned for each talent tree, and in some cases low level spell changes for several classes.
You should note these will not be all the changes we will see throughout the beta period and as always are subject to change. Also it should be known that some classes are further along then others so the amount of information will vary.
The dates the information will be released are listed below.

Changes to Dispels in Cataclysm
A slew of new information is coming out of Blizzard this week - this time it's about the change to
dispels
coming in
Cataclysm
. As it stands right now there are five different types of buffs and debuffs: curses, diseases, poisons, defensive magic, and offensive magic.
In Cataclysm, Blizzard plans to let all healers dispel three out of the five types of abilities, with one of them always being a defensive dispel. This will allow arena teams to be a little more open and will allow encounter designers to assume you will have a dispel magic. In addition to this the mana cost on all dispels will be significantly increased, this will cause people to "think" before they decide to cast instead of just spamming the button.
One last thing,
,
and
will be removed from the game.
With all this new info coming out we can only hope that an alpha or maybe even the beta may start in the near future. You can read the original post after the break.

Rage Normalization in Cataclysm
In
Cataclysm
, Blizzard is taking the opportunity to fix some of the problems with rage for both warriors and druids. Right now there are quite a few problems with rage—we're rage-starved at lower gear levels, and have next to infinite rage at high gear levels.
To fix this Blizzard plans to
normalize
rage in Cataclysm. We're going to generate a set amount of rage on auto-attack (200% if you crit), rage from being hit will be calculated based on the warriors health, more sources for instant rage will be introduced, all “on next swing” will be removed and
and
will become instant attacks.
With these changes Blizzard hopes to make playing these classes a little more interesting, and hopefully make rage-management more a part of playing the character.

Eyonix Says Goodbye
Today some sad news came across the official forums, as everyone's favorite dragon whelping
Eyonix
has announced he will be leaving Blizzard for other opportunities. Eyonix has been with us for nearly 6 years as a community manager, we frequently have seen him posting important information and getting involved with discussions throughout the forums.
For nearly six years, we've shared our thoughts with one and other, we've laughed, we've argued, and we've cried -- the crying part was just me wasn't it? Those times, I'm afraid must come to an end as I've made the decision to explore opportunities outside of Blizzard.
It has very honestly been a huge pleasure, and I thank you all for allowing 'Eyonix' to always remain a very fond memory as I move on.
Even though I've personally never met the man behind the dragon, he will be sorely missed! Good luck with your future endeavors, Eyonix!

New Item: Hellfire Kickin' Taco Supreme
We uncovered some
exclusive
news for you! By digging deep into the game files, we managed to uncover a new item added in patch 3.3.3:
!
This item was apparently unlocked in the maintenance earlier this week, and according to our latest information, the tacos drop from
Хранитель мудрости Скосирис
in Shattrath City. If you manage to survive long enough to bring him down, he has a 100% chance to share one of these delicious tacos with you!
So far no one has managed to pick some up in-game yet. If you're the first, be sure to submit a screenshot—and don't forget to run the
Wowhead Client
to get us the data!
In light of this great tribute to the
Overlord of Tacohead
himself, we've decided to rename the site in celebration.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to

Blizzard Introduces the Story Forum
Blizzard yesterday introduced a new board on the World of Warcraft official forums, aptly named the
Story Forum
. In it players are urged to discuss storylines from throughout the Warcraft universe, including the ones told in game as well as through the novels, manga, comics and short stories that Blizzard publishes.
The most interesting portion about the new Story Forum is Blizzard plans on using it as a way to let users
influence
the stories they will publish. With this Blizzard hopes to give us a direct line to story developers, so they can get specific examples of what we like and don't like to make the story better for us all.
You can read the original announcements after the break, or check out the official forum

Icecrown Citadel Raid Buff Increased to 10%
The raid buffs that
were introduced
at the beginning of the month for
Цитадель Ледяной Короны
have been increased in this morning's maintenance. Originally set to increase damage, healing, absorption effects and health by 5%,
Сила Ринна
and
Песнь войны Адского Крика
have now been increased to
10%
.
Now that the first increase in the buff is now active we have an idea of how often the buff will increase. Expect the next increase (15%) on
April 27th
, which is four weeks from today.
