BlizzCon 2008: Class panel liveblog
wow gold is doing a lot of coverage today here at BlizzCon in Anaheim, C.A. We've already live-blogged the opening ceremony, the U.I. panel and discussion, and up next will be the live blog of the class panel at 4:30 EDT / 1:30 PDT.
Right now we're live-blogging the class panel in the main hall. This panel will feature discussion of where the classes are headed, why things are done the way they are, and perhaps even announcements about multispecs and new features.
The full live-blog happening after the break!
EDIT: Pics added throughout!
4:09PM "You might have noticed that tank threat is higher then it used to be. We want to make fights about healing and moving around. We don't want it to be about a threat game anymore."
4:06PM GC: "We've all been in the situation where we're full on Rogues and can't take this great player but we've got this Shaman here who needs to learn to play." They don't want that anymore.
4:04PM "Jimmy can't come -%26gt; No Wind Furry -%26gt; Cancel the raid" They want to remove that.
4:03PM Group flexibility now.
4:01PM GC: "Every warlock secretly wants to be Illidan."
3:59PM GC: "Rend is pretty good again." Laughter. "You guys haven't tried the new one."
3:56PM GC: "Legitimate CC for Shaman in hex."
3:52PM GC: They want to achieve an "elemental tree" with the Mages. Mage should be able to do both fire and frost damage.
3:49PM GC: "Freezing shot is a way to remote deploy a trap quickly and allows you to get along with a pull."
3:46PM GC: Runes and Death Knights should not be played like a metronome - no pushing buttons in order 1 - 2 - 1 - 2 - 3. Should be more interactive.
3:44PM Good pictures of UI iterations. Images coming soonish.
3:41PM Huge round of applause for Ghostcrawler.
3:40PM Panel is Tom Chilton and Greg Street.
