Dev Watercooler: WoD Stat Updates

• 2014-06-05 09:39:05

Blizzard has just posted a large blog detailing updates to many of the stats in WoW. There has been a lot of work behind the scenes on these stats since BlizzCon 2013, and it's clear that Blizzard is working hard to get through various design issues they've noticed. It's also clear (as in the case of a stat like Multistrike) that they've taken feedback from the community and ran with it. When you want to buy WoW items, you can check out here!

Blizzard's post provides a handy list summarizing the changes coming up in Warlords:

■Haste: (Unchanged) Increases attack speed, spell casting speed, and some resource generation
■Critical Strike: (Unchanged) Increases your chance to critically strike, dealing double damage
■Mastery: (Unchanged) Increases the effectiveness of your specialization-specific Mastery
■Multistrike: (New) Grants two chances for your damage and healing effects to fire an additional time, each at 30% effectiveness
