As we learned during the 09? Blizzcon, with Cayaclysm, Blizzard plans to make major changes to how the stat system in the game works. Stats are being removed, changed, and modified to make them easier to understand and to make itemization more interesting. Today we’ll take a look at planned changes and break them down for you.

Stat Changes

Stamina – Non-Plate wearers will receive more stamina from gear, putting their health pools closer to plate users.

Spirit - With cataclysm, this will be changed to be a healer exclusive stat. Changes will be made to give non-healers a form of mana regen, and Spirit will basically be only found on healing gear.

Intellect - Will be changed to provide spellpower but less mana.

Block Rating – Will scale more, any attacks that are blocked will just reduce damage by 30%.

Parry - Parry will be changed so that when you parry an attack, that attack and the next will deal 50% less damage instead of completely avoiding the attack. Basically tanks won’t be spiked as much and just take less damage, allowing you to avoid just as much damage as before.

Mastery – This stat will increase your abilities in whichever talent you are spec’d into.

Resilience – Being changed to only reduce player damage and crit damage, not crit chance.

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    The latest news feed looks good
