Frost Resistance in Patch 1.11
Translations from the Chinese site show new craftable items available with Argent Dawn and Hydraxian Waterlords reputation - all featuring high frost resist. This further confirms the rumor that upcoming dungeon Naxxramas will require frost resistances. Another day, another resistance-based dungeon - I suppose I'll be adding a full frost resist set to sit with my fire, nature, and shadow resist sets. Ah, but the days when I had bank space...!
The trouble with epics?
I must say, in all my forum travels, this is one of the more educated posts I have read in a long time. It is a well thought out piece of writing that goes over epics and their high damage output.The post goes in to detail as to why tier-2 epics are overpowered from a damage output perspective and not enough damage absorption. The crazy part is when he compares a blue equipped mage versus a blue equipped hunter, or the same pair wearing MC epics - the mage can crit for 38% and 42% of the hunter's life, respectively. A BWL equipped mage can score a 71% crit on the hunter's hp. That is insane!The poster also goes on to mention various ideas to bring things back into balance, which I applaud him for! Nothing will get a problem solved faster than having a solution attached to the complaint. While I think this isn't something we will see fixed quickly, hopefully Blizzard will take notice before they release the expansion (one of the solutions).I also liked the idea of changing spell resistance to be more of a partial blockage of the damage (similar to AC and melee damage) rather than an all or nothing deal.Kudos to Arash for such a fine post.
