Patch 7.3: Caster Animations

Recommended Posts

hvBop1Q.jpg

Patch 7.3 brings new caster animations for Druids, Mages and Shamans. Shadow Priests will also receive updates, but they were not ready for the initial 7.3 PTR Build push and we'll release a separate video once they go live.

Please note this is an early preview and it's likely and spells will receive additional tweaks throughout 7.3 testing.

Patch 7.3 Build 24463 focuses on updates for Restoration Druids, all Mage specializations & Elemental Shamans. Stay tuned for more updates.

i can't say any of the changes are really game changing or even that drastically different, some are fairly subtle. However, I do like the new chain lightning. That one gets a thumbs up.

They're very .. Underwhelming, if you ask me. But not worse, so I guess that's a plus.

For people like me, they are game changing - in a bad way.

While I appreciate these changes, I recently updated my 5-year old laptop so it could survive the hellish Greek summer. From its release, Legion took a toll on the poor aging laptop. I am already playing on lowest settings *argh*

Hopefully, this animation update won't have a very big impact.

It would nice if the guy would have actually shown some of the spells in action rather then turning the camera to face the toon each time the spell was cast so we could see the spell rather then his face, Also where the hell is Warlock spells? are they not getting updated animations? Anyway the ones he actually did let us see look pretty good some are meh and close to the same with brighter color but still ok I guess.

I've raided Arcane mage since Firelands and I think the Arcane animations look pretty cool. Nice update

Agreed! The new Arcane ExplosionArcane Explosion looks great.

You guys sure use creative names for your PTR characters! Mr Icyveins and Icyveinss. Not sure what the other one was called though. Iicyveins?

 

;)

Actually, Icyveinscom. Let me explain: Argus is extremely buggy right now and you receive critical errors and can't log in with that character until it gets fixed. The first time I recorded Argus gameplay, I noticed it had no sound and the character got stuck, which is why I copied another one over and gave him that name to record gameplay with sound and that character's gone now too! So, Icyveins and Icyveinscom have disappeared in the Twisting Nether full of critical Model.cpp errors, hopefully not for good!

Now on a more serious note, we use those name variations to ensure authenticity of our videos.

Why did you recorded with the interface on ? That's silly :p Or at least don't put it on top of the character lol

Nice to see updates like this even if for mages it's very subtle (that blizzard tho).

Oh, I know that feeling. It is so sad to play Heroes of the Storm at the lowest settings. I can't even turn the physics on because it hurts my poor 7 year old Macbook. So no rag dolls for me. =(

      Tama's Dragonflight Helper is a Weakaura that displays a weekly to-do list in the game and it's been updated for Dragonflight Season 4!
      The WeakAura is very useful for keeping track of everything in the game at max level. It shows you a to-do list with the weekly tasks, provides you with the locations of rares, super rares, information about your current Renown standing, and more.



      You will find Tama's Dragonflight Helper at wago.io. Please note that you must first download and install WeakAuras 2 to import the string.

      Cataclysm's Grim Batol has been added to the Mythic+ Dungeon rotation in The War Within Season 1, and one boss received a brand new model recently on the Alpha.
      General Umbriss, the first boss of the dungeon, got a shiny new model, which is quite different from his previous one. Below is a screenshot of the old a new model.

      Timewalking (Source)
      Hello!
      Earlier this evening, we rolled out a fix-up for players who opened their Timewalking dungeon / Raid cache before 2:30 p.m. PDT today. Affected players have received an in-game mail with the cache replacement.
      Players who opened their cache after 2:30 p.m. PDT today should find that they received the intended reward(s).
      Thank you!

      Blizzard have clarified why players are able to get a full Spark of Awakening through the two available Splinters in the first week of Dragonflight Season 4, and it seems it's only for this week and only due to catch-up rules being enabled! 
      Splintered Spark (Source)
      Just want to confirm this with some details.
      Everyone essentially started Season 4 in catch-up mode. Players were able to get 1 Splintered Spark of Awakening from the weekly quest, whether that’s the weekly “Last Hurrah” quest or the PvP weeklies offered by Malicia.
      And then you’re able to get another splinter / half-spark from any valid catch-up sources, such as Mythic+, Awakened Raids, and PvP wins.
      Next week and thereafter, only one Splintered Spark is obtainable every week. And like Seasons 2 and 3, with the increasing cap on Splintered Sparks per week, and if you ever fall behind you will be able to get Splintered Sparks from any catch-up source.

      It seems there may be an easier way to obtain the Tusks of Mannoroth appearance during the Mists of Pandaria Remix event! 
      The tusks are one of the rarest transmogs in the game currently, even with the recently added Siege of Orgrimmar skip, as their drop rates are VERY low (0.1-0.3%, reportedly). As spotted by MrGM, the new Tusks of Mannoroth are a cosmetic appearance item added in the new limited time event. Now, some have suggested they may just be purchasable from the Bronze vendor (the currency that will drop off of pretty much anything in the event), making them pretty easy to get, but it seems there might be a different way to get them. 
      It's unclear whether the cosmetic will actually be purchasable or if it will drop somewhere else, but another interesting Mannoroth-related item was added as well, the Bones of Mannoroth, which may be related to the cosmetic.

      As you can see the bones are a stackable resource you gain from killing Garrosh, and it's looking like they're a way to guarantee the Tusk appearance with enough kills! Just how many drop is unclear, but assuming you need all 20 for the appearance and that Normal drops 1, Heroic 2 and Mythic 3 bones, it may take at least 7 weeks to get them. Now the number required might be/is likely to be lower than the 20  stack maximum, and we may get more bones per kill.
      But even at 7 weeks it's much, much easier to get than the current "hope for 0.3%" in retail, so it's still a pretty good deal! This may or may not upset players that farmed for the tusks for a long time the regular way, but there's a whole lot players that will be thrilled!
      The Remix: Mists of Pandaria event starts on May 16th and should last until August 19th.
