For me, like most others, WoW patch time is a bittersweet sensation. I know there is new and exciting content on the way, but there’s always a lingering feeling of… “doom,” I suppose. I have been playing WoW for a very long time now, and it seems with every patch after the Burning Crusade has been released hasn’t been very fulfilling. Pre-BC patches were exciting and new. They released major content updates, one example being patch 1.12 which introducing a revamped PvP system and the PvP armor that started it all. But after the expansion, eh… new dungeons, nerfs, buffs, we know the drill. At first it was nice; a new dungeon with every major patch is good stuff, but it wore thin. Dungeons seemed rushed and weren’t very memorable as something like Naxxramas Pre-BC. But one thing I have always enjoyed are the patches right before an expansion. These patches offer an abundance of content including the always popular pre-expansion events. For any lore fanatic such as myself they are quite a spectacle.
This most recent patch was built to support the new expansion with talents, glyphs and the sort. Pre-expansion events have yet to be done except for a few things such as Garrosh being sworn as the new Warcheif of the Horde. Blizzard also added earthquakes, giving you a sense of the looming destruction Azeroth is going to suffer. That having been said, lets get into the major stuff: my opinion on the revamped talents, glyphs, and attributes.
