Description des talents des familiers des chasseurs

Pour info :

Citation :

We’re pleased to announce a convenient upgrade to the way that mounts and vanity pets are handled in Wrath of the Lich King.

Players will be able to “learn” a mount or non-combat pet much like learning a spell, recipe, or new ability, and these creatures will then show up on a new Pet tab within the Character Info section of the interface. Players will be able to access and preview their learned mounts and vanity pets through this tab.

Once learned, the pet icon or mount icon will no longer appear in bag spaces or bank spaces. This inventory space will be made available once again for other adventuring needs. Pets can still be set to hotkeys by dragging them to the hotkey bar, much like any other spell or ability.

Pour traduire rapidement, les montures et familiers passifs (genre Trémousse le cochon ou Cacahouète l'elekk) deviendront des sorts et ne prendront donc plus de place en banque/sacs.

Un peu plus d'infos sur les familiers de chasseurs :

Les familiers vont être classes en 3 types différents, chaque type donnant accès à un arbre.

Pour l'arbre Cunning (Astucieux), on y trouvera : Bats (chauve-souris),Dragonhawks (Dragon-Faucon),Nether Rays (raie du néant),Birds of Prey (oiseau de proie),Ravagers (ravageur), Serpents (serpent), Spiders (araignée), Spore Bats(Sporoptère),Wind Serpents (serpent des vents). Il correspond à des familiers de soutien.

Pour l'arbre Ferocity (Férocité), on y trouveras : Carrion Birds (Charognard),Cats (félin), Hyenas (hyene),Moths (papillion...) Raptors (raptor), Tallstriders (Haut-trotteur),Wolves (loup). Il correspond au familier dps.

Pour l'arbre Tenacity (ténacité), on y trouveras : Bears (ours), Boars (sanglier), Crabs (crabe), Crocolisks (crocodile), Gorillas (gorille), Scorpids (scorpions), Turtles (tortue), Warp Stalkers (Traqueur dimensionnel). Cela correspond au familier tank.

Au niveau des points de talents, on en obtient 1 tout les 4 niveaux (du joueur) ce qui fait normalement un total de 16pts. On pourra rajouter 5 points via le talent ultime de la branche bête ce qui permettra d'accéder à des talents exclusifs.

Pour le moment, nous n'avons encore aucune info sur les familiers exotiques

Petites infos sur l'inscription :
-L'inscription nécessitera des plantes pour fonctionner (donc herboristerie comme métier de récolte)
-En plus de pouvoir faire des parchemins pouvant améliorer un sort, l'inscription pourra créer des parchemins d'intelligence, agilité et autres.
-L'inscription pourra également créer des parchemins vierges pouvant être enchantés par les enchanteurs pour que ces derniers puissent vendre leurs enchantements à l'AH.
-Normalement (à vérifier donc), certains métiers pourront donner des bonus de caractéristiques (genre force pour minage et agilité pour TdC) selon le niveau de maitrise du dit métier.

Petite info au passage :
Beaucoup de sorts ont vue leur coup en mana passer d'une valeur X à une valeur en pourcentage de la mana de base.
Cette mana de base correspond au total de mana de votre personnage à poil et sans buff. Donc n'ayez pas peur en voyant certains chiffres

Je confirme mes dires sur les compétences de métiers amenant une amélioration de compétences.
Le minage améliorera l'endurance de 3/5/7/10/20/32 et le dépeçage améliorera le score de critique de 3/63/9/12/15/25.
Le Chevalier de la mort aura accès à un métier spécifique : RuneForging (création de rune) servant à créer et poser des enchantements sur arme (pas cumulable avec les enchantements classiques).

En plus de la mise en place d'un système de stockage pour les familiers non-combattants et les montures, un système pour stocker les marques de BGs ou les badges d'instance héroïques va être mis en place.

Un système de calendrier en jeu va être implémenté.
Ce système permettra de connaitre les dates de certains évènements en jeu (foire de Sombrelune, reset d'instances, évent saisonnier, etc.) et permettre de prévoir des raids.

Frankark a écrit:

Au niveau des points de talents, on en obtient 1 tout les 4 niveaux (du joueur) ce qui fait normalement un total de 16pts. On pourra rajouter 5 points via le talent ultime de la branche bête ce qui permettra d'accéder à des talents exclusifs.

Petite correction à ce sujet :
Tous les chasseurs auront accès à tous les talents des familiers. Par contre, les chasseurs ayant pris le talent ultime bête auront accès à plus de talents vue qu'ils auront 5 pts de talents en plus.

Petite info en passant :
le cout de progression des métiers dans Wotlk est, actuellement, de l'ordre de 100po le métier...
Il faudra donc prévoir un minimum de finances (entre 200 et 500po) avant de se lancer dans l'aventure des métiers de Norfendre...

Modification de l'interface avec la possibilité de voir les PVs de toutes les cibles de type PnJ sans addon.
Modification dans le principe de fonctionnement de la regen mana/énergie qui augmentera de façon continue et non plus par bloc.

Ajout d'une compétence passive en alchimie (nécessite 50 de compétence) nommée Alchemical Blood qui améliore l'effet des potions, élixirs, flasques que l'on peut fabriquer.

Ajout d'un debuff sur les potions empêchant dans prendre 2 pendant un combat.

Ajout d'un debuff sur les tambours empêchant de les utiliser à la suite.

Ajout au moteur du jeu d'un système d'ombres dynamiques (ombres qui prennent la forme du joueur et qui suivent son mouvement). Cela prendra quelques ressources de plus mais sera désactivable.
Ajout de nouvelles montures terrestres(ours polaire, mammouth) et volantes (griffon squelettique).

Hunters / Warlock Pet Management in WotLK
There are 2 additional slots in the stable. Integrating hunter / warlock pet management into the new mount and companion UI has certainly come up already. Let's give the new UI a whirl and see if it works and then we can consider if it makes sense to integrate the stable or anything else into it.

Lake Wintergrasp
There will be a lot of tuning and balancing of the zone done in the coming months. One thing we are looking to do though to help with population imbalances is impose certain benefits for the side with less players in the zone. For instance, since supplies will be necessary to unlock certain vehicles, the side with the population handicap may see a decrease in requirements. We may also offer increasingly more supply benefits for a faction if they are suffering from consecutive losses in Lake Wintergrasp. The goal is to even the playing field regardless of faction population balances across all realms.

We plan to give Lake Wintergrasp a definitive play time where the event may last somewhere around 45 minutes. The event would not start again for a set amount of time after the battle is won. We will tune these times as testing further develops. The plan, additionally, is to provide certain incentives for visiting this zone between battles.

Hunter
Pets should be able to hold aggro, especially tanking pets with the right spec. Class dps in general is something we are still evaluating, because honestly it's a lot of wasted work if we haven't finalized the abilities yet. Once we have a feel for how much dps a hunter can do, and how much threat you generate, we'll adjust pets accordingly.

Druid
In the next data push, you will find Omen of Clarity has been changed a bit. The 10 second cooldown has been removed, the procs per minute has been raised from 2 to 3.5, and melee abilities no longer trigger it. Spell interaction with Omen of Clarity remains relatively unchanged, with its hidden chance to trigger off spells reduced by half (and rolling the dice about 2x as often).

What this means is that more auto-attacks landing on the target will increase the benefit from Omen of Clarity. Haste, increased hit chance, and expertise will all make Omen of Clarity better.

We are aware of the concerns with reaching the hit rating cap, and will make sure Druids can pick up Rogue items to wear without exceeding that cap. This means Rogues will likely socket for hit, while Druids socket for Strength or Agility.

Before LK goes live, we will do extensive testing on how much damage classes do, and will increase or decrease their power as appropriate to meet our targets. Cat raid DPS suffered relative to other melee in BC for lack of an Combat Potency equivalent talent (OOC should now be roughly equal), for lack of a scaling finishing move (Savage Roar answers that), for lack of benefitting from Windfury Totem, and for lack of weapon procs (+35 agility != Mongoose). All of those lacks have been addressed. In addition, a change has been made to make the agility rebalance less severe (as I posted in another thread).

In PvP, we are adding many tools to the Feral Druid arsenal, including the redesigned Maim, Infected Wounds, King of the Jungle, and Berserk. We have also made some improvements to the "range bug". Attacks that require you to be behind a target will no longer be able to be parried, nor able to be dodged by a player. Our movement engine will now smoothly interpolate positions of moving units, preventing the "Out of range/You must be behind your target/Out of range/You must be behind your target/Out of range/You must be behind your target..." sequence from occuring any more. In addition, being able to apply a snare makes the Feral Druid able to slow down their target and lessen the severity of the "range bug". Yes, there are still issues with the model, especially when switching into and out of cat form, but many of the issues are being dealt with.
------------------------
To help deal with this issue, in the next data push, Druids should find their melee critical strike chance is about 5% higher.

The conversion of agility to critical strike chance remains the same 40:1 at level 70, but the base amount for 0 agility has been increased by 5%.

Mike Morhaime, le big boss de Blizzard, a annoncé que Wotlk ne serait pas lancé pour le trimestre juillet-septembre 2008 mais qu'il serait quand même livré en 2008.
La date autour de fion octobre 2008 que l'on peut trouver sur certains sites commerciaux (FNAC, Amazon) pourrait ne pas être si fausse que ça...

Dernières modifs apportées à la beta :

Interface

* You can now compare your achievements with other players. Screenshot
* It seems that the action icon now appears when you mouseover the target frame of a NPC.

* The Death Knight starting area now have its own loading screen. Screenshot
* The first features of the threat meter have been added to the game. Screenshot #1 Screenshot #2

- According to the first reports, the threat is just sent to the client without any encoding now, it will be very easy to build mods to display the exact threat of each member of the raid in the future.
