Enhancement To Do in Three-Two-Two
We’ve got a lot of work to do now that 3.2.2 is out. Here are the six things you need to do when the servers come back up online.
- Add Flame Shock to your rotation
- Glyph for Flame Shock
- Buy the Totem of Quaking Earth
- Kill Onyxia
- Lower your ArP weighting
- Be prepared for PvP changes
Let’s go over each of these in turn.
1 & 2 – Flame Shock
Flame Shock used to last 12 seconds, the glyph would stretch it out an additional 6 seconds, and being a DoT it couldn’t crit. This was enough to keep it out of our rotation and off our minds.
Now:
Flame Shock: The duration of all ranks has been increased by 6 seconds.
and
Glyph of Flame Shock: Redesigned. This glyph now makes Flame Shock periodic damage able to be critical strikes.
Make this an 18 second DoT that can CRIT! The new optimal rotation is FS -> ES -> ES -> ES, making for a 3:1 ES to FS. The new optimal rotation is FS -> ES -> ES, making for a 2:1 ES to FS. Or to simplify things, just cast FS when it’s not up. This does add another layer of complexity to our already complex optimal rotation, but such is the way of Enhancement. (see comments below for macro ideas)
The end of a jouney…
For months I’ve been getting burnt of the game (booooooooring~), a couple of weeks ago I took a slight break of the game to see if it helped, but I can’t say I was missing it. So, effective today, my account has been cancelled.
I would have probably cancelled earlier, but I was waiting to finish the Brewfest event since it was the only one that I had missing for the Violet Proto-Drake.

3.2.2 Mount Changes
Quote from: Mumper (Source)
You guys are correct, we reduced the expert riding skill price in 3.2.2 to 225g. We also changed the faction discounts for the riding skill vendors in Honor Hold and Thrallmar to use Stormwind and Orgrimmar faction.
There are a couple reasons we made this change. First off, we wanted expert riding to be available to more people at level 60. 600g just did not seem like a reasonable expectation for most level 60 players to have when they roll into Hellfire Peninsula. Especially after purchasing your level 60 skills. The second change, regarding the factions just made a lot more sense this way since you will not have any Thrallmar or Honor Hold faction when you enter Hellfire.

The Brood Mother Returns
After years of lurking in her lair battling the many brave adventurers who travelled from afar to challenge her, Onyxia returns stronger than before to commemorate World of Warcraft’s five-year anniversary.* Onyxia has been scaled to offer new challenges to level 80 players and is now available for testing in 10- and 25-player modes.
* Adjusted for modern raiding, but with the fundamental experience of fighting the Brood Mother still in effect, including the horrors of her Deep Breaths!
* Onyxia will now drop level 80 item versions of some classic loot items from the level 60 encounter.
* Brood of Onyxia, a very rare 310%-speed mount modeled after Onyxia herself will be available for the luckiest of challengers.
Ready Check: Onyxia
Hi howdy and hello, everyone. I’m Matthew Rossi, famous for being tail whipped into the cave on our first Onyxia 10 attempt yesterday. Twice. Despite having been a veteran of the original raid, which means I’ve heard this kind of ranting many, many times. What I’m getting at is, there are certain things you do not do in a successful Onyxia kill (then and now) and if you go in cocky, thinking that you’re mister fancy pants Conquerer of Ulduar, then she’s going to embarrass you. If, on the other hand, you just go in and kill her, it’s much less embarrassing all told. As long as you keep her mechanics in mind, she’s not a terribly complicated or hard fight, but she’s been updated and tuned fairly well for an 80 raid.
