Today with KJ!

According to MMO-Champion , today could be the day for the ALL NEW ULDUAR PATCH for World of Warcraft , the game we all know designed by Blizzard Entertainment.

Is it gonna be what they say is?  I sure hope so - One of the patches main features “Duel Speccing”  is the most anticipated change in the game that I have seen since they started talking about “Death Knights” in the spring of 2008, then soon released in November 2008.

After talking to a trainer and paying the required 1000 gold, you can reset your talents and spec in two talent builds.  The way this will work is -  for instance, if your a Paladin - you can set your points for a Holy build and plug in the associated spells into your casting bar.  And then set your talents in Protection and Blizzard will automatically align your Protection talents and save them so all you have to do is click a button and switch talents.  This will also allow you to save your spells in the casting bars so that when you change your spec, which can be done from anywhere - it will automatically bring up your spells in the bar so you don’t have to reset spells.  I personally think this is gonna be extremely nice and effective.  I have a LVL 80 Paladin and I raid a lot, I hate hearthing to Stormwind to respec if the raid group needs me to tank.  So for classes like Shamans, Druids, Paladins, Priests, Death Knights and Warriors this is a great thing.  Not to say that it’s not as good for Warlocks, Mages and Rogues, but for those classes that can tank/heal and heal/DPS the advantage is greater.

One more add that I think is somewhat so-so, is the fact that Blizzard is taking the game from not just hand-to-hand combat to using vehicles, beasts and equipment to down raid bosses.  Personally I think it’s a little cheesy, but it works.  I don’t like having to jump on a vehicle like in Wintergrasp to defeat a boss.  For example, go into the Oculus and you will see what I mean.  This makes pugging very difficult, however I do like how they have made the game and the new patches where it takes a team effort to down these bosses other than just pure tank and spank.  In reality, Naxx is a fun dungeon, but you have to perfect some of those bosses and every time you go in there on 25 man - it’s a challenge regardless of your experience.  So to me that keeps it interesting and I believe people will still go into Naxx even after the Ulduar patch.

I will be keeping a close watch on the patch and will constantly keep you updated on the in-game wow gossip.  Also feel free to ask questions and post comments and let’s hear what you think about the game since the Expansion.
