Ninja Change

Sweet Ninja Mana Drain Nerf.

HEYO!

Arena Water and MSD

MSD is total garbage in PvP right now. It gives you a 4 second buff of 320 spell haste and still retains the 45 second hidden cooldown. I've tried to like it, but I can't. BAD. Chaotic or bust? The new 2% Int gem really isn't getting it done neither.

The water change is pretty misunderstood by people, so here's a recap:

• First ticks yields ZERO mana
• Second tick yields normal + 66% extra mana (FUCKING HUGE TICK)
• Third tick yields normal + 33% extra mana (Pretty big)
• Afterwards, water is normal

Basically, the first tick of water is rolled into ticks 2 and 3. This reduces the effectiveness of microdrinking moderately, although if you can make it to the second tick, it's no big deal. It does make heal-drinking (where you heal and spam drink as it goes off) somewhat less viable. The change is not a huge "druid nerf" or anything of the sort. If anything, druids will get hit the least as they're the most capable healer of getting away to get in a few ticks of water, especially if they're Night Elf.

The change does make trying to squeeze in drink ticks against pet classes a real fucking pain, and if has a real balance shifting effect, it's indirectly improving the ability of pets to keep players in combat.

Inactive: Behind the PvPer

This is his story:

In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys
Who were up to no good
Startin making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air'

We rode for six hours then we hit the spot
The beat was a bumping and the girlies was hot
This dude was staring like he knows who we are
We took the empty spot next to him at the bar

M.C.A. said, "Yo, you know this kid?"
I said, "I didn't." - but I know he did
The kid said, "Get ready cause this ain't funny
My name's Mike D. and I'm about to get money."

Power and the money, money and the power
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Everybody's running, but half of them ain't lookin
What's goin on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cookin

They say I got ta learn, but nobody's here to teach me
If they can't understand it, how can they reach me?
I guess they can't -- I guess they won't
I guess they frontin that's why I know my life is out of luck, fool

TELL ME WHY ARE WEEEEE
SOOO BLIND TO SEEE
THAT THE ONES WE HURT
ARE YOUU AND MEEEE

We Good, We Good

Curse of Tongues does not appear to affect the global cooldown. (Tested somewhat poorly using slo-mo with fraps)
