Details of Blizzard presence at Comic Con
|
The schedule for the 2009 San Diego Comic Con is finally starting to emerge, and Blizzard has now confirmed details of its presence there. What I'm saying is, the only classes who even use caster mail are shamans and holy pallies (hssss, get off of our elemental mail, there's not enough of it in the first place!) and neither elemental shamans nor holy pallies really want MP5 on their gear, and yet spell mail without MP5 is ridiculously hard to find. I'm going to dare you to find a pair of good elemental boots to upgrade from Naxx 25 in Ulduar 25.
To be fair, shamans have always been a class that has itemization woes. Certainly Enhancement is better off now that it gets its AP from Agi (and Int if properly talented) but I still find the current system for caster shamans, where one totally eschews MP5 and therefore can't effectively use more than half the caster mail that drops (and using caster leather and cloth, which is loaded with spirit - a stat shamans have zero use for - is simply not a viable workaround) irritating.
It looks like Blizzard is going to be running a panel on Thursday, July 23rd (the first officlal day of the con, which this year is July 23rd to 26th) with Chris Metzen and a host of people associated with Blizzard products from Upper Deck, Wildstorm, Tokyopop, and J!nx. Interestingly, Nick Carpenter, the creative director for Blizzard cinematics, is also going to be there, so it looks like this might be a particularly good opportunity to get information about Blizzard's lore and art direction, on top of the Warcraft comics, minis, and cards. I've included the full list of panel attendees behind the cut, and as of now the panel looks to be scheduled in Room 6BCF.
