WoW: Blizzard reist in die Zukunft für MoP Classic - bedient sich bei WoD

Der Release von Mists of Pandaria Classic rückt näher und WoW-Fans dürfen sich auf einige Buffs freuen, die eigentlich Teil von WoD sind.

Nicht mehr lange dauert es, dann können wir unsere rosarote Nostalgie-Brille im Panda-Design aufsetzen und in Mists of Pandaria Classic durchstarten! Die nächste "neue" Erweiterung für WoW Classic steht schon in den Startlöchern, am 21. Juli 2025 geht es los. Fans freuen sich schon auf das erneute Erkunden des malerischsten Kontinents in WoW, aber auch auf Klassen-Balance von damals (Dämolocks etwa!).

WoW MoP Classic: Skills machen noch mehr Zeitreise

Doch Blizzard hat jetzt verraten, dass es keineswegs eine "no change"-Politik bei den Klassen und Skills aus Mists of Pandaria Patch 5.4.8 geben wird. Stattdessen greifen die Entwickler auch auf Änderungen und "status quo" aus dem Pre-Patch von Warlords of Draenor.

Manche erhalten aber sogar 5.4-Versionen von Talenten & Co., damit sie (mangels Änderungen über die Classic-Erweiterung hinweg) nicht in einem "merkwürdigen Zustand" für Phasen sind, die nie für solche Klassen gedacht waren. Das bringt Buffs und Nerfs mit sich.

Zum Beispiel folgende Anpassungen:

  • Vergeltung-Paladine richten mit etlichen Skills 10 Prozent Schaden an, während Urteil des Templers sogar 20 Prozent mehr Schaden anrichtet. (WoD-Änderungen)
  • Eulenform für Gleichgewicht-Druide erhöht Natur- und Arkanschaden um 20 Prozent (neue Änderung)
  • Feuer-Magier bekommen einen Schadens-Buff für Einäscherung (5.4-Änderung)
  • Disziplin-Priester heilen mit Abbitte und Göttlicher Stern weniger (WoD-Änderung)
  • Dämonologie-Hexenmeister erhalten viele Buffs für ihre Wichtel, aber auch für Höllenfeuer, Feuerbrandaura und Chaoswelle. (alles basierend auf Patch 5.4)

Natürlich handelt es sich hierbei nur um einen Bruchteil der Patch Notes, die Blizzard veröffentlicht hat, hier noch für euch die gesamte Übersicht (via Blizzard):

Druid

  • Balance
    • Moonkin Form's increase to Nature and Arcane damage has been raised to 20% (was 10%). New
    • Shooting Stars will no longer split its chance to activate across multiple targets. 5.4 Revert
  • Feral
    • Ferals once again learn Nature's Swiftness, but it cannot be used in Arenas or Battlegrounds (previously, Ferals did not learn or have access to Nature's Swiftness). 5.4 Revert
  • Guardian
    • Maul's Rage cost has been lowered to 20 (was 30). 6.0.2 Change
  • Restoration
    • Naturalist's increase to healing has been raised to 15% (was 10%). New

Hunter

  • General
    • The Sporebat pet's Energizing Spores can now only be activated while inside of a Battleground or Arena. Sporebat's now additionally know a new spell called Frenzying Spores. This is an active ability that grants the same effect as Serpent's Swiftness but can only be activated outside of Battlegrounds and Arenas. New
      • Developers' notes: Hunters perform well, but rather than nerfing them, we felt allowing them to cover less buffs was a better approach to opening up group compositions.

Mage

  • Fire
    • Combustion % of Ignite's tick damage per second raised to 50% (was 20%). 5.4 Revert

Monk

  • Mistweaver
    • Teachings of the Monastery's Crackling Jade Lightning damage bonus lowered to 25% (was 100%). New
    • Mana Tea's mana return per charge increased to 5% (was 4%). New
    • Surging Mists cost lowered by 13%, moving its cost to 7.65% of base mana (was 8.8%). New
    • Rushing Jade Wind will now be canceled on the Mistweaver Monk when they enter Stance of the Wise Serpent. New
      • Developers' notes: Players could enter Stance of the Fierce Tiger to activate Rushing Jade Wind for 40 Energy and then go back into Stance of the Wise Serpent without having to spend the mana cost of Rushing Jade Wind. We want to alleviate the Mistweaver mana concerns, but we don't want the optimal way to play to be going into Tiger, casting Rushing Jade Wind, and going back into Serpent. This was considered optimal because of high mana costs and subpar mana return for Mistweaver. If those issues are solved, this should feel fine. If they aren't, we'd rather revisit and reduce the cost of RJW/SCK for Mistweavers than perpetuate stance dancing. So no matter which way we sliced it, we didn't want this work around to be the most efficient way to play.
    • Jab cost lowered by 25%, to 6% of base mana (was 8%). Partial 5.2 Revert
    • Enveloping Mists healing raised by 48%. 5.1 Revert

      • Developers' notes: Eminence benefits from the healing bonus granted by Stance of the Wise Serpent, so this translates to ~50% of damage dealt to healing.

    • Glyph of Targeted Expulsion retains its original effects in PvP, but morphs to have the old effects from the previously removed Glyph of Uplift while outside of PvP instances.

    • Tigereye Brew starts with 3.5% damage per stack, plus 1.6% from base Mastery (was 6% damage per stack unaffected by Mastery). 5.4 Revert and New
    • Tigereye Brew gains a charge after spending 3 Chi (was 4 Chi). 5.4 Revert
    • T15 Windwalker Monk 4 set bonus reverted to "You have a 10% chance to gain an additional charge of Tigereye Brew every time you gain a charge of Tigereye Brew while not inside an Arena or Battleground" (was "Increases the damage of your Tigereye Brew by 0.5% per stack consumed"). 5.4 Revert

Was haltet ihr von Blizzards Änderungen für MoP Classic? Sollte die Vision für WoW Mists of Pandaria möglichst unberührt bleiben? Macht es Sinn, dass man sich durch den veränderten Release der Inhalte auch an die Klassen-Balance wagen muss? Und wie findet ihr die Ãœbernahme von WoD-Pre-Patch-Neuerungen?
