Blizzard Interviewsinterview summaryhead over to WoW Insider for the full transcriptConvert to Raid Interviewlisten to the audiovideo is available on YouTubeTimeline, Alpha and Delays

The information has been around for a while, ready to release, but they didn't want to step on other franchises

There have been some minor delays with technical hitches in the alpha builds

The game has been in Alpha for quite a while prior to this, and is just now going into take-home Alpha

The new CASC file system needed to be ready

There are a lot more blogs coming!

BlizzCon 2014 is something they would love to do, more information will be coming at some point

CASC File System and Other Technology

Makes it a lot better than MoPaQ as the data is organized in a much better way

It's much faster for the game to read, load and hotfix

More can be hotfixed, fewer client side patches will be required, so less downtime

Players should hopefully see loading speed and patching speed increased

Garrisons require a lot of new technology -- a series of blogs will be coming soon on these, hopefully withing the next 2-3 weeks

Garrison NPCs use new AI technology to make them seem more alive and respond to you

They have found a way to potentially make the game more responsive in play

Garrisons

Garrisons will play a big natural role in the leveling experience

There will be quest lines and "Choose Your Own Adventure" style chains that add to your Garrison

Your Garrison choices will alter your quest flow for different zones as you level

It'll be a natural part of the questing, not a grind like the 5.0 dailies

You'll get your garrison as soon as you land on Draenor

Datamined Content - Maps, Encounters, Models

The devs are pretty happy with Challenge Modes and Scenarios, there are no huge changes coming

A total of 17 encounters will launch

It's a split tier, so there's different ilvls within the tier

The Velen model is not the male draenei model

Draenor Perks

Partly to address the downside of leveling up not feeling quite so rewarding

Mixture of throughput buffs and rotation changes, allow players to ease into their changes

They are not removed at max level

They are not something to plan around, they should not be seen as character customization

Class Change Philosophy

Vengeance was great defensively, but not great offensively. It made tank damage very variable.

Resolve will be Vengeance but only for self-healing or self-absorption

Tanks will gain 1% increased attack power per mastery - mastery has offensive value

Offensive value will also be added to bonus armor

Tank DPS will also come from stats like Crit giving Parry

Tank damage needs to be increased dramatically to bring them in line with somewhere-below-DPS as they lost Vengeance

The "Swap at 3 Stacks" tanking model is being removed as much as possible

"Saber lash" style mechanics can ensure both tanks are engaged in the fight

Mana Cooldowns were largely button bloat as they were usually used in the same places, and then on cooldown

Baseline mana regen is massively increased

The idea of active mana regen is being considered

Thok and Durumu fights won't exist - heavy damage is not good

Damage will be far less spiky

DPS should be focused on DPS - the lines got very blurred between roles in Mists

Cooldowns are being redistributed over spec and class

The raid shouldn't feel like they need to bring a warlock

Specific Class Changes

Hunters were too similar across specs so they are trying to create more diversity

The rotations are being changed across spec to make them more different

Death Knights

Army of the Dead is something the devs are looking at bringing back

Army of the Dead could be made instant instead of a channel

Blood DKs will be getting more interesting active mitigation, with things like Rune Tap being an absorb, and Rune Strikes will offer small shields

Dual Wield will remain limited to Frost

Runeforges will be made more variable

Druids

Symbiosis created so much button bloat and was overcomplicated, hence its removal

Hybrid Talents mean that there is more healing throughput for all specs from L90 talents

Hunters

More specialization is being added so each spec has one key skill
Marksmanship will feel like they are lining up focus cast time big nuke spells

Survival will be more about DoTs and multidotting and traps

Beast Mastery will continue to be about pets

Mages

Prismatic Crystal will be auto-targeted when it's summoned. All damage dealt to it is replicated to nearby enemies but stronger, but the devs recognize useability problems

The new Brain Freeze effect makes it do more damage - Frost needed more cast times.

Fire has scaling issues. Inferno Blast helped, but they are also going to bring up the base crit at lower levels of gear. Basically bad luck prevention on crit - the less you crit the more crit chance you get

Monk

New Mistweaver Stance, to allow fistweaving to be a middle ground between DPS and healing. It's not like Atonement, it's not a way to do max healing.

Offers some healing and high DPS for a healer

Renewing Mist and Expel Harm will generate significant baseline chi. As you get more Spirit, Surging Mist and Spinning Crane Kick will get you more chi.

Surging Mist will be improved

Rushing Jade Wind will not work with the Empowered Spinning Crane Kick perk

Touch of Death is more like an execute now, it hits really hard but with a 1.5 minute cooldown and you'll have more opportunity to use it.

Mistweavers are getting some significant changes in Warlords in their stat values. Mistweavers value DPS stats too much

Mistweavers will need to value Spirit far more, fewer of their spells generate chi

Paladin

Paladins are fine mechanically, but weak on numbers

Execution Sentence is being reworked for healing, so you get a burst of healing at the start

Protection is having defensive value added to multistrike in the form of Shining Protector, which heals you for +30% on incoming heals

Priests

Shadow Priests shouldn't need gear which is different stat-wise for different fights.

Shadow will have the option to gear towards more single target damage or not. It should mean a couple of pieces of gear, not a full set

Rogue

Rogues aren't as indistinct as hunters, so less is being done. For example Rupture is removed from combat.

The positional requirements are simply to mitigate always having to be behind the boss. You can still be parried from the front (3% chance) so being behind is still beneficial

Leeching poison is not planned as a lethal poison, but they are working on poisons

Shaman

Mana regen is being drastically increased to account for Healing Wave's removal

AoE for Enhance should have ramp-up, but be very strong when you achieve that

T16 4-piece worked very well

Previously tuning hasn't been right but the devs will fix it. Enhancement AoE should be really strong

Removing the cast-while-moving element of Lightning Bolt is a huge change. The devs are watching it, and think it will force Elemental to do more with their other cast while moving spells. They won't be turrets.

Warlock

Gateway effective range and how often they can be used is being decreased - anyone can only use it every 90 seconds

Warrior

They are considering changing the enrage removal on Berserker Rage, and re-examining Berserker Stance

They tried cutting Overpower from Arms, but didn't like it. Arms' rotation is still open to alteration but there was a sentence left in the notes by accident!

Guild levels and rewards

There are no plans to add guild levels or rewards

There are no specific plans to add banners

Zarhym and Celestalon both have characters in Convert to Raid's guilds!

I think WoW has just gotten better and better over the years, I was talking with my friend the other day and we both agreed that if vanilla WoW came out today neither of us would have stuck around after the first couple weeks. We've both been playing since vanilla but the game is so much stronger now. All Blizzard has to do is get the stink of "LRN 2 PLAY NUBZ" $%^&*!baggery off their IP and I think they can start gaining subs again.

I heard a rumor that rogue and feral druid combo points will work like monk chi, in that they'll apply to the player and not their target. That would be a great change imo, as the game has a faster pace now than it used to. I'm also glad to hear combat is dropping rupture, because that means more eviscerate and less buff/debuff fussing. Now they just need to lower white damage and increase finisher damage and we're all set! Either that or I need to go back to subtlety, but I've never really liked it in endgame PVE.

For Army of the Dead, why not make it work like Mirror Image in frost/unholy specs? That way it would dump player aggro without taunting away from the tank, and it would function inobtrusively as a DPS boost for group content.

I'm cautiously optimistic about the engineering changes, although the idea of them nerfing rocket boots yet again is frustrating. My rogue is already hurting from that Burst of Speed nerf, don't make things worse! If anything they should make them stack again, now that everyone will be able to have them... I miss being able to zip through old raids at 420% movement speed, it made farming faster and much more fun. And they're already disabled in ranked PVP, so who gives a &*!@?Comentado por AzrileIt has been confirmed that rogue and feral points are on the player now, not the target.Comentado por brianmarasEngineering items will be reduced in power, but sellable and usable by everyone.

— Russ Petersen (@nite_moogle) April 7, 2014JeevesComentado por WorcesterI believe the Engineering change could do more harm than good. The "combat perks" for Engineering come at a great price... namely that Engineering is nearly worthless as a money-making profession. Once one of your toons has a Sky Golem, all your toons have a Sky Golem. There's almost zero demand for the few Engineering items that can currently be sold, and even if that's changed it won't be by much. A cloak enchant, a belt enchant and glove enchants? Jewelcrafters and Enchanters make money on nearly every single item upgrade in the game. You can even upgrade the enhancements with better gems or more costly enchants.

I would rather keep the unique abilities, unless there's a clear way to make the profession a viable source of income.Comentado por AzrileI believe the Engineering change could do more harm than good.
