Mage Priest Paladin Death Knight Changes in WoW Cataclysm
Written by WoW Cataclysm.
I have to apologize to all Priest, Mage, Death Knight, Paladin Warcraft players out there, I didn’t get chance yet to write all the changes coming to their class in WoW Cataclysm. The truth of the matter is that not much news has been announced about these classes in Cataclysm yet. Here is what we know so far for each class in World of Warcraft Cataclysm. (Individual Posts will come when more information about the class becomes available).
WoW Cataclysm Mage Changes Info
- Mages will no longer want spirit as it is now primarily a healer stat, intellect will now give spell power and this will become even more of an important stat than before
- There are plans to make Combustion more interesting for Mages in Wow Cataclysm
- Mage abilities and spell in Wow Cataclysm will be changed to account for the loss of Spirit. Example: Molten Spirit
- Night Elf Mages in WoW Cataclysm will be those Night Elfs that have been messing around with the Arcane when they shouldn’t have, thats the explanation they have given anyways.
WoW Cataclysm Paladin Changes Info
- Tauren Paladin would look very strange in an Armored Charger, and so Blizzard will have a new mount for them…a Holy Cow? Ok sorry that joke is getting old already.
- There is no plans to prevent Paladins from picking up cloth items
- Retribution Paladin in WoW Cataclysm will able to benefit from the new haste rating (increase rate of regeneration of runic power/focus/energy)
WoW Cataclysm Priest Changes Info
- Shadow Priests in WoW Cataclysm will get a nuke without a cooldown
- Some Changes that might affect Priest’s spots in Raids,Groups: Shaman getting better AoE healing, all healing classes getting dispell magic and meditation like ability
WoW Cataclysm Death Knight Changes Info
- Blizzard feels like the Death Knight class is fine as it is right now. With all the special treatment they got last expansion, I wouldn’t expect too many changes for Death Knights in the WoW Cataclysm expansion.
This year around Blizzard decided not to have a seperate slide for each class at Blizzcon, and therefore we’re forced to just wait and see until the Cataclysm Beta is released. I wouldn’t take the lack of annoucements for Deathknights, Paladins, Mages, and Priests in WoW Cataclysm as a sign that Blizzard doesn’t have big plans for you. It could be the case that the changes are so big that they aren’t ready to announce them yet or haven’t been totally confirmed. This is what happens when we have WoW forums that react and whine to every little promise that Blizzard makes, they now have stopped announcing changes unless they are 110% certain. Anyways, so stay tuned dear Priest, Mage, Death Knight, and Paladin, for real changes in WoW Cataclysm will come in the near future.

This is a great chance for blizzard to make Frost into a possible pve build. Since they are going to revamp alot if not all the talent trees its there huge chance to finally change things. As well as make arcane less bloated and fire pvp viable
Blizzard should show an example of the Tauren Paladin mount on the Cataclysm website.
i think frost sucks u can never move but if they go through the frost tree dont give them a shield PLZZZZZZZZZ
I LOVE HOW THEY IGNORE DKS ITS FANTASTIC.
@ Aritta
Frost was the ONLY pve build throughout all of classic, until naxx came out. I have had enough of frost, especially since it has 1 button that you press. At least Arcane and Fire have 2
Arcane isn’t bloated, it’s just the best dps spec for mages right now. If you’re saying something like that, then Destruction is bloated, Marksman is bloated, Feral is bloated, Combat is bloated, Ret is bloated, and Shadow is bloated.
Well, Im Glad im a holy Priest
Arcane is not the best mage PVP spec.. Ok yes im an arcane gnome mage, but fire
is awesome too.. It is suicidal (no armor) but alot of damage !!
But still vanilla is best… cataclysm sucks a BIG one.. pathetic..
cataclysms not out fuckhead dont know how you can say it sucks if you havnt played it and if it sucks go play another game wow will be happier without you
the paladins are going to be better and that is amazing
@nigger.
They’re leaving them out because they got so much change/attention last expansion, and the other classes didn’t.
@Mr. Me
Attention…
3.0 = imba
3.1 = decent
3.2 = below average
3.3 = weakest class in game
3.3.3 = buffs we should have gotten months ago…
i think they should make plate armour for holy pals have some sort of bonus for them more mana or intell … cus i have a priest n holy pal … n i hate pals rolling on cloth gear n i h8 having to use on my pal agree?
why cant dks use shields not like they only got one hand and why cant pallys use bows and guns and why lvl 85 iv got 4 80s and lvling will be hard work /cry
I heard that Sheilds in Cata is a definite possibility that the development is strongly considering it. However that may just be a rumor
Read the patch notes for every patch starting from 3.3.3 back. (Also include possible rumors for cata[including the one above] for priests namely holy priest). When’s the last time we got a buff? When’s the last time something got reworked? Every patch that has come out as nerfed holy priests either directly or indirectly. Don’t get me wrong discipline priests got it good and will always have a pvp and/or pve spot in raids. However it seems with every change Blizzard brings they make holy priests less useful each time. I’m beginning to think they’re going to remove the talent tree entirely and priests will only have 2 specs. That’s the road they’re taking.
How can they boost Shamans, they are always in Top healing and they will receive better aoe healing, that’s nice.
Cuz DKs suck
Dks don’t need fking buffs, they are OP as it is.
I think that in the matter of the DK’s getting a shield that would be great! would make tanking a whole lot easier!!!!
There is no such thing as OP -.-
guys in blizzard arent stupid, they make and TEST everything. If you get pwned by someone doesnt mean hes class is OP, juet means you suck dude…
I agree with Yann Core, Blizzard guys are not stupid at all they make the class test it out over and over. The Death knight, they had to make pretty powerful in the beginning for starting off at high lvl with limited spells and such. Once You’re 80 the Death Knight is about the same as any other character in power wise. I do on the other believe that Death Knights should not be able to use shields because if they do yes tanking WOULD be much much easier but would make the Death Knight hard as hell to kill//die in the matter making blizzard have to Nuke most of their armor giving passives. Death Knights are fine as is.
Why increase pallys they dont need everyone bitch at dk’s and they nerfed the shit out of us dk’s should get alot more than anyone
They probbly nerfed dk since anyone can easyl make a dk and reach lvl 80 fast while other classes work from the ground up.
