Get Out Your Snow Shovels! Jeff Kaplan Talks About Patch 1.10

1UP.com has an exclusive interview with Jeff Kaplan where they talk about the 3 main changes in the new upcoming patch.

The biggest change is the Priest talent reworking and reset, similar to the Paladin reset in the last patch. Also, a few of the exciting new armor sets are previewed. Hopefully Warriors will get an alternative to the current armor sets, if not in sheer power, at least in looks. Also, here's a quick preview on the quests involved in getting those sets.

The final big change is the addition of weather effects. Now, I'm not sure why these are being added at all. Thankfully for those of you on lower-end computers you will be able to turn them off. Latency is sometimes crippling on my mid-level box, especially in cities, and I can't help but be concerned about how this addition will affect that. Personally, I have never seen weather effects as something necessary, but apparently there is a vocal group of players who feel that it would enhance their experience.

Are you in favor of weather effects? What are your thoughts on the other upcoming changes?
