Patch 3.3.3 February 28, 2010

Hi folks!

So, turns out, I’m going to be posting VERY SPORADICALLY. Real Life turns out to be important. Who’d have thought?

Patch 3.3.3 is coming out soon! We’re all very excited, but not as excited as we are for cataclysm. What’s actually new? Turns out, not a whole lot for hunters, but there are a few exciting things coming out:

You’ve all read about the PvP changes. I don’t do a ton of PvP, but this random battleground finder will be a nice way to get bonus honor and arena points. I don’t think I’ve ever spent (or earned) an arena point in my whole life. But I imagine that there are a lot of nice things you can get. It’s also nice that now honor is replacing the marks of honor from battlegrounds – I’m definitely going to try out the random tool and look at the rewards offered, but I don’t PvP, and never found much use out of it. I’ll wind up burning my honor on epic gems.

It looks like there will be a ‘random’ BG option, the first of which gives you 30 honorable kills and 25 arena points, and then also a ‘daily’ call to arms BG, giving the same rewards the first time you to it. This means that I’ll be stuck with a JC daily, two fishing dailies, a cooking daily, two random heroics, and /four/ battlegrounds every day. And then raids, and getting ready for raids, and leveling my rogue…I might just go insane.

Culling of Stratholme is being changed to skip the long wait. Thank the fates.

There’s only one change to hunters. A buff to Ferocious Inspiration. Good for Beast Masters. No, I still don’t want to raid with you.

The Titansteel cooldown is being removed. That’s a pity, I always enjoyed the 20-30 gold I could make every day for doing nothing.

That’s all that affects me. Not a whole lot, but I’m excited about the next raid instance that’s coming out under wyrmrest temple.

I’ll be putting a few more posts up that I was working on this weekend, but I need to read over everything. Should be out by Tuesday.
