Wow Gold -- Wrath Design

With the advent of the patch 3.1, it is the time for us to take a look back at the patch 3.0. However, let us examine some of the changes in direction that Wrath came up with, rather than focusing on the specific elements like raids or questing. We will keep to a very simple thumb up or thumbs down system and probably this will span multiple posts.

The concept of "Bring the Player, not the Class" has proved to be extremely attractive to most of the players. It caught the imagination, and has pretty much been embraced whole-heartedly. As for execution, Blizzard has done a really good job. There's a couple of exceptions, such as Death Knight tanks with cool-downs, maybe Rogues in general, and Shaman Bloodlust/Heroism, but overall you don't really need to min-max raid composition anywhere close to what was necessary before Wrath. Just grabbing a good mix of classes is all you need.

As a matter of fact, the new phasing tech allows many players to have an effect on the world and is extremely cool, in which how the world is presented to you changes as you complete quests. In Icecrown, the Ebon Blade and Argent Dawn questlines are cited as a high point of the questing experience, and it is entirely due to their use of phasing. For our part, we are quite excited to see how Blizzard develops this further.

To be honest, championing factions is a much, much better way of earning reputation than the previous methods, in which you gain rep with a faction when running instances wearing their tabard. It is necessary to break the like between factions and specific instance as well, which gives you so much more flexibility in choosing what instances you want to run, and ensures that you are always working on the reputation you want.

Take for granted that championing works very well on a thematic level, tying the current faction to the tabard you wear. There is a nice visual and thematic emphasis there that just makes the whole mechanic work. Wearing the faction's tabard really drives home the point that you are doing things in their name as well as the tabard slot doesn't cause you to lose a gear slot, unlike previous versions such as the Argent Dawn trinket.

When it comes to glyphs, they more often than not had both a positive and a negative side in the original incarnation. They weren't just bonuses, but in fact they changed the nature of the spell. For example, the classic is the Flash of Light glyph, which cut heal in half, but added a Heal over Time.

It seems that that idea has been abandoned for the most part. Now most glyphs are outright bonuses to your chosen spells, and are far less interesting. To be frank, Glyphs seem unnecessary, occupying much the same space as talents.

As above, it is all about Wrath design. More or less, it does not look pretty prefect but it is undeniable that it is very, very useful for you to have a little knowledge.
