Wouldn't say it was delayed, they never said it was going out on Nov. 15. In fact Zhyrm posted somewhere on the forums that it in fact was not going to be released on the 15th. Just the end of the pvp season.

I wasn't expecting it either, I was expecting 4.3 on the 22nd. With this delay though, I'm expecting 4.3 on Dec 6th possibly.

Blizzard e-mailed me for 14 free days of WoW, and just claimed it. Looks like a grand time to hop back into the game!

transmog incoming!!! omg!! I can't wait lol

and massive rogue buffs? YES PLEASE

Why does everyone keep getting this!? I stopped back in April, sub ended in July, and I still haven't gotten that email!

My guild buddies have gotten it after stopping for 1-2 months, so I dunno why I haven't gotten it

I expected that, since WoW Brazil will be released on december 6th, pretty sure they will patch the game on december 6th

Spellsteal as a Dispel
Spellsteal will likely count as a dispel in this model and will have a cooldown. However, it's likely to be the longest cooldown of the dispels, to offset its spell stealing mechanic. And, it's likely to dispel all applicable effects from the target, but only give the mage one of them. That's definitely not set in stone, by any stretch, and we'd love feedback on that.

What's that, GC? But I didn't... I was only trying to... OH GOD.

lol.

Fucking lolled at that maikon. Spellsteal buff better not be gay.

They're not gonna Jew mages let's be honest. If it's like a 1min CD even itd be OP for mages if it took ALL their buffs off.

as how I read on the Q&A, they will make ALL dispel dispel EVERYTHING.

In 5.0 dispels will have a cooldown and duration more like Counterspell but get all buffs or debuffs at once to make them more tactical.

Mage
*Frost has a lot of CC currently and just adding more every expansion only makes this worse. Having to choose between Ring of Frost and Cone of Cold allows a choice between two interesting CC and allows the space for adding more interesting options later.
*Frost will no longer trade survivability for DPS in 5.0.
*Fire is RNG based by design and working as desired for now.
*Arcane Barrage will be added to the Arcane rotation to make it more mobile and less boring.

Spell Interrupts
I said “Spellsteal” and I meant “Counterspell.” Duh. They are like TOTALLY different. We would like all dispels to be in the 20 sec cooldown and 10 sec duration range. Some variation among that is fine. Dispels with very short cooldowns aren’t decisions and completely neuter classes with a lot of magical mechanics.

Interrupts:
We want interrupting to feel more meaningful, for both the interrupter and the target. Interrupts should be rarer, but when you do get interrupted, you should know that you have a significant period of time where you can cast without fear of being interrupted again. We're still expecting to have a noticeable variance in the interrupts for different classes though, so that they can keep the sort of identity they're used to (rogues locking out for the largest percentage of time, shaman recasting the most frequently, etc). We're expecting to have most cooldowns in the 15- to 25-sec range, and most lockout durations in the 3- to 6-sec range. There may be a few outliers from there, but not many, and not by much.

Dispels:
Similar to with Interrupts, we also want Dispels to be more meaningful, also for both the dispeller and the target, and to be rarer, but stronger, so that when you do get dispelled, you know that you have a period of time where you know your spells won't be dispelled again. Dispels, both offensive and defensive, will have a short cooldown, and will dispel all dispellable effects. We're still evaluating what cooldown feels right for these, and they may vary a bit, but we're currently thinking of possibly up to a 10-sec cooldown.

LOL so they're giving frost more survive in 5.0 and more DPS but now they're taking away one of out freezing talents, thats gay. I can't wait to double sheep people.

Wow is pissing me off. I don't even care about the raiding aspect, I can't even find people to PRACTICE arena with.
