It looks like Azeroth is not going to be the only aspect of WoW that's destroyed in Cataclysm. The developers just announced in the Class, Items, and Profession panel that half of WoW's stats are getting tossed out the window. Here's the breakdown:
Attack Power on gear is gone. Instead, some classes will
buy wow gold get 2 AP from each point of Agi (Rogues,
aion kinah, Hunters, Shamans, Druids),
aion gold, and other classes (presumably Warriors, Paladins, and Death Knights) will get 2 AP per point of Strength. Side effect: no more plate wearers stealing your gear Spell Power is gone. It comes from Int now. MP5 is gone. Spirit is the mana regen stat,
cheap aion kinah, and all classes that need it will get some form of Meditation. (Hunters, never fear - you don't use mana any more. More on this in a separate post.) Armor Penetration is gone. That one was just confusing. Defense is gone. Tanks are now defense-capped from talents, like Druid tanks. Haste now increases your rate of resource regeneration (mana, energy, rage, runes, focus). world of warcraft gold Block Value is gone,
buy aion gold, but blocks now mitigate a percentage of damage. Stamina is going to be more equal across different armor types
wow gold - no more "plate HP envy."
Whew, those are some massive changes. I'm very much in favor of this sort of streamlining; the number of stats in game was getting a bit silly. This back-to-basics approach is refreshing. It's going to take some balancing, sure,
cheapest wow gold, but I think it's the right way to go.
