The Daily Blues

By Adam Holisky

Each day WoW.com will take you through all the blue posts and other Blizzard news from around the internet. From Ghostcrawler's latest posts to the lowdown on StarCraft II and Diablo III, we'll keep you informed.

There's a few blue posts about the patch's inner workings, as well as some news about the new Diablo II patch that dropped today — plus the female witch doctor in Diablo III.

Ghostcrawler

Ghostcrawler — Lich King Crossbow Bugged
it has a base dps rating of 496 right now, up from the 250ish it was at. Massive damage inc

Gratz hunters?

This will get fixed soon. The tooltip may be incorrect for a short time after it's fixed.



Ghostcrawler — Test Dummies
The Frostbolt snare doesn't actually work on test dummies. Has anyone noticed a problem on actual creatures or players?

If you ever notice a bug, one of the very first things you should probably do is consider if it's a test dummy problem. We've had several false positives reported since we first implemented them, and in fact that's one reason we avoided putting in test dummies for so long.

Which is not to say that actual bugs don't creep in too. :)

EDIT: Thunder Clap and other attack speed slows might work with test dummies.

Eyonix — Patch 3.3.3 Cooldowns
So patch notes say the cooldown for spellweave, ebonweave and moonshroud have been removed. Well, not being sure the patch would come out this tue. i used my cooldowns. low and behold wake up to patch, AWESOME! or so i thought. All my cloth are still on cooldown from the night before. >_< Is this intended or did blizz make yet another patch oversite? If so please fix it, im sure my cd will be available before the gm gets around to responding to my ticket so i came here to get a faster anwser. LOL

Unfortunately, that's how the change was implemented. We tried to give advance warning by letting everyone know last week. Sorry about that, once your cooldowns are up though, things will work normally for you.

Villains! Who are they really besides being the bad guy? Do they ever do anything besides being bad? Do they have interests or hobbies other than finding new and unusual ways of being cruel? What do they do in their spare time?

Eyonix — High Test Eternium Fishing Line
With the release of 3.3.3 you may see an erroneous message when applying High Test Eternium Fishing Line. If an enchantment already exists on the fishing pole you will be asked if you'd like to replace your current fishing pole enchantment with "+2 Fishing". This message is incorrect and applying the High Test Eternium Fishing Line enchantment will still give the proper +5 Fishing.

This is slated to be corrected in an upcoming patch.
