Vhairi's Blog and No Rad on PTR

Vhairi's Blog

This deserves a quick reference. I won't editorialize too much. I actually think that there is more opportunity to do well in 2v2 as a mage currently than players seem to accomplish, but it is almost more of a gameplay frustration issue than a balance issue that keeps mages discouraged and out of higher ratings. Likewise for hunters. I agree with the opinion that 2.3 will probably balance-wise be poor for the class in the smaller arenas as the buffs to other classes and the nerf to hypothermia offset anything the class is getting to aid it in the smaller brackets.

People have been pressuring me to get on PTR and put together another dueling video. I'm not really sure it's something I want to do right now, but 2.3 is promised to be on Test for a long time, so perhaps I'll have a change of heart. Ming does plan to do a lot on this PTR so hopefully he'll provide plenty of entertainment for everyone. ^^ (Besides, Affix and Hiyather can represent)

45 Second Hypothermia

Suck my dick Blizzard. Not for the taste. Or the texture. But for the nutritional content. If you want nutritional facts, you can check my -- actually, fine, whatever. I won't emo out, yet. I'm involved in some wedding bullshit this weekend and have been the past few days hence the lack of posting. I'm so sorry. So fucking sorry.

My video was rejected from Warcraft Movies for reasons unknown. I almost care enough to inquire as to why, al-fucking-most. Anyways, I'll have some drunken updates over the weekend which should contain my thoughts on the PTR changes, drunken ramblings, and general whining about how we can't beat X class or X team next season. Happy PTR weekend -- I'm sure even without my sweet nothings in your eyes, the multitude of new purples will keep you satisfied.

Oh, and:

Players no longer gain the moving AOE radius bonus if they are jumping.

That's right. Blizzard went out of its way just to nerf me. It's like that.
