TankSpotThrone of Thunder Raid Preview: Jin'rokh the BreakerBreaking Jin'rokh the Breaker

Jin'rokh the BreakerWhen the Thunder King awoke, he rewarded the most loyal and ambitious Zandalari trolls with power beyond their wildest dreams. The berserker Jin'rokh was one of the first to receive the King's blessing, and even though Lei Shen's gifts nearly tore his body apart, the troll is now capable of calling the fury of the storm in battle.

Fluidity: All players standing in Conductive Water receive Fluidity, granting 40% increased healing and inflict 30% increased damage. However, all players standing in Conductive Water also take 80% increased Nature damage.

Conduction: Many of Jin'rokh the Breaker's abilities travel through Conductive Water, inflicting Nature damage to all players in that Conductive Water.
Electrified Waters: Jin'rokh the Breaker infuses the Conductive Water with storm energies, removing Fluidity and inflicting 35000 Nature damage every second to all players remaining in the Conductive Water.All players standing in Conductive Water still take 80% increased Nature damage.

Static Burst: Jin'rokh the Breaker performs a quick strike, dealing 95000 to 105000 Nature damage to all players. After 3 sec., this applies Static Wound to his current target.

Static Wound: Jin'rokh the Breaker statically constricts the target, inflicting 18000 Physical damage per stack when taking melee attacks. This effect stacks but dissipates gradually while not in Conductive Water.

Conduction: Static Wound damage travels through Conductive Water, inflicting 18000 Nature damage per charge to all players in that Conductive Water.

Focused Lightning: Jin'rokh the Breaker creates an orb of Focused Lightning, which fixates on a player. The Focused Lightning detonates upon reaching that player, inflicting 142500 to 157500 Nature damage to all players within 5 yards.This orb also pulses 38000 to 42000 Nature damage every half second to other players within 5 yards.

Conduction: Focused Lightning Detonation damage travels through Conductive Water, inflicting 142500 to 157500 Nature damage to players standing in Conductive Water.
Lightning Fissure: If the Focused Lightning detonates outside of Conductive Water, a Lightning Fissure forms. This field of unstable energy inflicts 47500 to 52500 Nature damage every 1 second to players within 3 yards.

Conduction: A Lightning Fissure contacts a Conductive Water, removing the Lightning Fissure and inflicting 71250 to 78750 Nature damage to players standing in that Conductive Water.
Implosion: A Lightning Fissure implodes upon contact with another Focused Lightning, inflicting 237500 to 262500 Nature damage to all players.

Violent Detonation: The Focused Lightning detonates violently inside Electrified Water, inflicting 712500 to 787500 Nature damage to all players within 5 yards.

Thundering Throw: Jin'rokh the Breaker throws his current target at a distant Mogu statue, breaking the statue and inflicting 243750 to 256250 Physical damage. Additionally inflicts 190000 to 210000 Nature damage to other players within 14 yards of the point of impact, stunning them for 9 sec.Conductive Water erupts from the broken statue, forming a pool on the ground.

Lightning Storm: Jin'rokh the Breaker commands a fierce Lightning Storm, inflicting 66500 to 73500 Nature damage to all players every second for 15 sec.Furthermore, the Lightning Storm electrifies Conductive Water.

[PH] Lightning Strike: [PH] Lightning Strikes several spots in the room during the storm. These hurt. Each strike diffuses lightning throughout the room, which deals nature damage upon contact. Dodge them.

Ionization: Jin'rokh the Breaker ionizes enemy players, attracting storm energies over 24 sec. Upon removal, inflicts 0 Nature damage to players within 8 yards.

Conduction: Ionization damage travels through Conductive Water, inflicting 500000 Nature damage to players standing in Conductive Water.

New Fishing Event5.2 Pool Migrations

Woods of the Lost, The Jade Forest: Jade Lungfish. Special pools are called Glowing Jade Lungfish because Sprite Dragons shoot arcane bolts at them.

Fields of Niuzao, Townlong Steppes: Redbelly Mandarin. Special pools are called Crowded Redbelly Mandarin which makes sense due to the tiny pond they spawn in.

Stormstout Brewery, Valley of the Four Winds: Emperor Salmon. Special pools are called Brew-Frenzied Emperor Salmon, which makes sense based on their proximity to the brewery.

Krasari Falls, Krasarang Wilds: Krasarang Paddlefish. Special pools are called Swarm of Panicked Paddlefish, most likely due to the Goblin NPC throwing dynamite at them.

Mad Qao Pao, Vale of Eternal Blossoms: Jewel Danio. Special pools are called Glimmering Jewel Danio Pool, since Mad Qao Pao, a very blingy Pandaren, periodically makes wishes and throws coins into the pool.

Binan Village Coast, Kun-Lai Summit: Tiger Gourami. Special pools are called Sha-Touched Spinefish and the water has an oily appearance.

Sri-La Village, The Jade Forest: Reef Octopus. Special pools are called Reef Octopus Swarm and baby octopus run around the docks.

Gokk'lok Shallows, Dread Wastes: Giant Mantis Shrimp. Special pools are called Tangled Mantid Shrimp Cluster, as "Stuffed shrimp" sharks and seagulls periodically eat them.

Master Snowdrift's Pagoda, Peak of Serenity: Tiger Gourami. Special pools are called Tiger Gourami Slush, and nearby trainees cast blue bolts at them.

5.2 PTR: Reputation Changes, Lei Shen Raid Video, Gear Clarifications

posted 2013/01/28 at 10:48 AM by perculia

TankSpotUroe, Harbinger of TerrorRaid Preview: Lei Shen

Lei ShenTyrant. Dictator. Conqueror. Emperor. These titles of the Thunder King were earned by bringing absolute misery to every race of Pandaria. Resurrected into a world where his people no longer rule, Lei Shen is bent on ending the farce and bringing the land under his heel once more.

Lightning Conduits:
While Lei Shen is in range of a Lightning Conduit he will power it, granting him an additional ability specific to that Lightning Conduit. The energy level of the Conduit increases the longer Lei Shen is charging it, increasing damage dealt by the granted ability. When the Conduit's power reaches 100 energy, it will increase the level of the Conduit, and the Conduit's energy will reset to 0.

North Conduit: Static Shock: Lei Shen charges the target with Static Shock after 8 sec. Static Shock inflicts 1000000 Nature damage divided among all players within 8 yards.As the level of the Static Shock Conduit increases, the number of targets Lei Shen afflicts with Static Electricity will also increase.
East Conduit: Diffusion Chain: Inflicts 97500 to 102500 Nature damage, chaining to nearby enemies. When an enemy is hit by Diffusion Chain, a Diffused Lightning spawns at the location.As the level of the Diffusion Chain Conduit increases, the spawned Diffused Lightning elementals grow more powerful.

Diffused Lightning: Diffusion Chain creates a Diffused Lightning for every target it strikes. Diffused Lightning's attacks cause Chain Lightning.
In Heroic, the Diffused Lightning will fixate on the player that it spawned from.

South Conduit: Overcharge: Lei Shen Overcharges a target player. The player becomes rooted and after 6 sec causes Overcharge to burst, creating a torus of electric energy around the target to quickly expands creating a ring with a safe area in the middle. Inflicts 146250 to 153750 Nature damage, stunning effected targets for 3 sec.As the level of the Overcharge Conduit increases, the number of targets Lei Shen afflicts with Overcharge will also increase.
West Conduit: Bouncing Bolt: Lei Shen conjures Bouncing Bolts that target random locations on the ground. Each Bolt inflicts 107250 to 112750 Nature damage split among enemies within 6 yards. If the Bouncing Bolt does not impact with an enemy, an Unharnessed Power is formed, and the Bouncing Bolt will bounce again.As the level of the Bouncing Bolt Conduit increases, the number of Bouncing Bolts that Lei Shen conjures will also increase.

Unharnessed Power: When Bouncing Bolts impact the ground and are not absorbed by enemies, an Unharnessed Power is unleashed.

Stage One: Thunderstruck!:
Lei Shen equips his Axe, Thunder, which he can throw with deadly accuracy and cause lightning to strike the ground wherever it lands. Lei Shen will charge any Conduit that he is near.

Discharged Energy: If Lei Shen is not charging a Conduit, he will Discharge electricity, inflicting increasing Nature damage every 0.5 sec.
Decapitate: Lei Shen throws his axe with supernatural force, inflicting 4500000 Physical damage. The damage inflicted decreases the farther away the target is from Lei Shen.

Maim: If the target of Decapitate gets far enough from Lei Shen, they are safe from Decapitation and instead are merely maimed.

Thunderstruck: Lei Shen winds up to hurl his axe at a target location, inflicting 1462500 to 1537500 Nature damage to nearby enemies. The damage inflicted decreases the farther away an enemy is from the impact point.
Crashing Thunder: Lei Shen calls down Thunder rapidly on targets every 1 sec causing a Lightning Crash. Inflicts 107250 to 112750 Nature damage every 1 sec for 45 sec.

Intermission: Supercharge Conduits!:
At 70% health, Lei Shen casts Supercharge Conduits, becoming invulnerable and activating all four Conduits at once, supercharging them and increasing their level by one. Lei Shen can only maintain Supercharge Conduits for 45 seconds.

Overloaded Circuits: The Conduit with the highest charge after Supercharge Conduits expires becomes Overloaded, disabling the Conduit. An Overloaded Conduit inflicts 73125 to 76875 Nature damage every 1 sec to that quadrant of the room.

Stage Two: Lightning Will End You!:
Lei Shen equips his Polearm, Lightning, allowing him to call lightning from the sky. Lei Shen will charge any Conduit that he is near.

Discharged Energy: If Lei Shen is not charging a Conduit, he will Discharge electricity, inflicting increasing Nature damage every 0.5 sec.
Fusion Slash: Lei Shen slashes at the target with his polearm, inflicting 536250 to 563750 Nature damage and increases damage taken by Fusion Slash by 50% for 45 sec.
Summon Ball Lightning: Inflicts 243750 to 256250 Nature damage to enemies within 6 yards and creates a Ball Lightning at the location.

Ball Lightning: The Ball Lightning rushes towards the farthest enemy, inflicting increasing Nature damage based on the distance it traveled to the target.

Lightning Whip: Lei Shen cracks a Lightning Whip across the floor, inflicting 731250 to 768750 Nature damage to enemies within 80 yards in front of him, leaving a Lightning Bolt behind on the ground that can be avoided by jumping over it.

Lightning Bolt: The Lightning Bolt inflicts 30000 Nature damage every 0.25 sec. Lightning Bolt can be avoided by jumping over it.

Intermission: Supercharge Conduits!:
At 30% health, Lei Shen casts Supercharge Conduits, becoming invulnerable and activating all four Conduits at once, supercharging them and increasing their level by one. Lei Shen can only maintain Supercharge Conduits for 45 seconds.

Overloaded Circuits: The Conduit with the highest charge after Supercharge Conduits expires becomes Overloaded, disabling the Conduit. An Overloaded Conduit inflicts 73125 to 76875 Nature damage every 1 sec to that quadrant of the room.

Stage Three: Master of Thunder and Lightning:
Lei Shen equips both his Axe and Polearm wielding both Thunder and Lightning against his enemies. Lei Shen cast Overwhelming Power and consume all electricity from the Throne of Thunder, destroying any remaining functional Conduits, preventing them from being activated anymore.

Overwhelming Power: Lei Shen absorbs all of the electrical power from the Throne of Thunder, destroying any remaining functional Conduits, preventing them from being activated anymore. Overwhelming Power causes his melee attacks to inflict 14625 to 15375 Nature damage over 1 sec.
Violent Gale Winds: Lei Shen summons the Violent Gale Winds from the outdoors. The winds push the players in a direction, inflicting 40000 Nature damage every 1 sec.
Thunderstruck: Lei Shen winds up to hurl his axe at target location, inflicting 1462500 to 1537500 Nature damage. The damage inflicted decreases the farther away the target is from Thunderstruck.
Crashing Thunder: Lei Shen calls down Thunder rapidly on targets every 1 sec causing a Lightning Crash. Inflicts 107250 to 112750 Nature damage every 1 sec for 45 sec.
Summon Ball Lightning: Inflicts 243750 to 256250 Nature damage to enemies within 6 yards and creates a Ball Lightning at the location.

Ball Lightning: The Ball Lightning rushes towards the farthest enemy, inflicting increasing Nature damage based on the distance it traveled to the target.

Lightning Whip: Lei Shen cracks a Lightning Whip across the floor, inflicting 731250 to 768750 Nature damage to enemies within 80 yards in front of him, leaving a lightning bolt behind on the ground.

Ancient Sap Feeder/Pristine Ancient Sap Feeder: The mantid prefer to age Kypari sap before consumption, and they use devices such as these for the process. You can see from this ancient example that the design has not changed very much over time.

Banner of the Mantid Empire/Pristine Banner of the Mantid Empire: While the mantid do use windwool and imperial silk, their preferred material is a type of "fabric" fashioned from the wings of various insectoid creatures - including themselves. This banner is an example.

Inert Sound Beacon/Pristine Sound Beacon: The technology behind mantid sound beacons is incomprehensible for non-mantid races. They seem to rely on mantid physiology. This ancient beacon, while intact, is completely inert without mantid to interact with it.

Kypari Sap Container/Pristine Kypari Sap Container: This container, though amber in color, is actually made from kunchong secretions. This is true of many of the more mundane pieces of mantid furniture.

Mantid Lamp/Pristine Mantid Lamp: The glow from this lamp is neither from fire nor magic. Inside, you can see many glowing insects preserved in amber.

Pollen Collector/Pristine Pollen Collector: It is difficult to discern the purpose of this object, but it seems to be a pollen collector of some sort.

The Praying Mantid/Pristine Praying Mantid: This Klaxxi'va statue dates back almost to the arrival of the Titans. Inscribed around the base of this statue is a prayer to "the seven headed one". The word "klaxxi" meant "priest" in the old tongue.

Remains of a Paragon/Pristine Remains of a Paragon: Apparently the amber preservation process is not without risk. Only the head of this paragon remains. It appears to predate the pandaren revolution, although pinning down the precise era is impossible.

25-Player Raid Changes: Thunderforged Items Coming to the PTR Soon

posted 2013/01/23 at 11:13 AM by Ashelia

Coming to the PTR in the near future will be a new designation of item type in Normal and Heroic raids for non-tier pieces. Each 5.2 raid boss will have a chance of dropping this new designation of a particular item that’s 6 item levels higher than their counterparts. These higher quality versions will be called “Thunderforged”. This means that there will be five variations of some items. You’ll now see a 5.2 raid item of LFR quality at item level 502, the same item in Normal quality at item level 522, the item in Normal Thunderforged quality at item level 528, the Heroic version of the item at level 535, and the Heroic Thunderforged version of the item at level 541.

This new item designation is being added for a couple reasons, but first and foremost to make loot drops more interesting overall, especially after you have earlier bosses in Throne of Thunder on farm. As you’re working on progression, those first few bosses can now continue to provide a chance at upgrades, making repeated kills potentially more exciting and rewarding. Those additional upgrades can then help to slowly raise power, and boost you over whatever progression roadblock you may hit.

We’ve also received a lot of feedback regarding 25-player raids, and have been looking for ways to address some concerns. Ever since we changed 10-player raids to drop the same item level as 25s, we’ve seen a steady decline in 25-player raiding. This isn’t surprising. A 25-player raid takes an extra level of logistical commitment for the officers of those groups. It’s unfortunately easy for a 25-player guild to collapse down into a 10-player guild, but very unlikely for the opposite to happen. However, we like 25-player raiding and don’t want to see it go away. Like many players, we love the epic feeling that comes with banding together more massive groups to battle powerful foes, we love that there’s opportunity for those groups to try out new players or unusual comps without causing a huge burden, and we want to support the larger raiding guilds. That said, we’re also concerned that over-rewarding the 25-player guilds—if, for example, we went back to a higher item level across the board for 25s, as was the case for Icecrown Citadel—would feel like a slap in the face to the many 10-player raiders out there, who are the majority of our Normal and Heroic raiders.

To attempt to navigate this minefield, we’re going to try having Thunderforged items drop more frequently in 25-player raids. They’ll be somewhat rare in both cases compared to the standard versions that’ll drop, but they’ll be even rarer in 10s. Overall, a 25-player group will be more likely to end up with a slightly higher item level after several weeks of raiding.

It’s important to keep in mind that this only affects 10- and 25-player Normal and Heroic raids, and tier-15 armor pieces won’t be available in Thunderforged quality at all. We’re curious to hear your thoughts about these changes, and what you think once you begin seeing them on the PTR.

New Patch 5.2 Raid Charm: Mogu Charm of Fate

posted 2013/01/22 at 7:57 PM by perculia

Mogu Charm of FateElder Charm of Good Fortunerewards from select questsnow stack to 20Mogu Charms of Fate

Just for clarity's sake, once patch 5.2 is live, Elder Charm of Good Fortune will only apply to Mogu'shan Vaults, Heart of Fear, Terrace of Endless Spring, the Sha of Anger, and Salyis' Warband (Galleon). There will also be a brand new Elder Charm of Good Fortune equivalent currently called the Mogu Charm of Fate. MRFs will be used in the new content being released in 5.2 including Throne of Thunder, Nalak the Storm Lord, and Oondasta (ooh, say it again!). They'll still be "purchased" with lesser charms of good fortune though, exactly how the current Lesser Charm of Good Fortune to Elder Charm of Good Fortune conversion works.

We'll be sure to let you guys know how various currencies (including Conquest and Valor) will work before the release of the patch, so you have some time to plan.

StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm Cinematic

Kaivax

The Queen of Blades is gone. On the hellish planet Char, Jim Raynor harnessed the power of an ancient Xel’Naga artifact in a desperate bid to stop the Zerg Swarm from overrunning the Koprulu sector, and the artifact restored Sarah Kerrigan to her human form. Without their queen to guide and unify them, the Swarm has fractured into several broods scattered throughout the Koprulu sector. One of the greatest threats to the galaxy has been neutralized... or so it seems.

On March 12, 2013, the release of StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm will answer many questions for players around the world, but many more questions remain.

Sarah Kerrigan is on the loose. Even without the terrible powers of the Queen of Blades or the might of the Swarm at her command, the former Ghost remains a foe not to be taken lightly. But if the artifact really did set her free, then why is Kerrigan seeking out Zerg broods scattered throughout the Koprulu sector? Is she still pursuing her quest for vengeance, or has her transformation given Kerrigan a new purpose?

We are pleased to present the opening cinematic for StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm in full HD glory. Whether you ultimately choose to play as Protoss, Terran, or Zerg, you simply must ask yourself one question:

Who is Sarah Kerrigan?

StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm arrives March 12. Avoid the (Zerg) rush on launch day and pre-purchase the game digitally on Battle.net now.

Totally agree in principle,but I'm not sure we need to keep a hurdle in, and adversely affect the PvP game, just to give people something to shoot for. We'll have a cosmetically different enchant available at 2200 in 5.2, and going along those lines we're looking at what potential future cosmetic rewards we could add for various ratings in the future.
