WoW Cataclysm Info

The guys over at www.wow-cataclysm.info have reported some very big changes about wow cataclysm stats changes in the new World of Warcraft expansion. The way that stats have been updated by Blizzard means that a lot of classes will have their priorities completely changed once again, which is sure to annoy some long-time players.

Stats used to be relatively simple, and when the original World of Warcraft shipped it was easy for people understand which items they should choose to upgrade their character and make the most of their talents. In WoW Cataclysm there will be a sort of return to this simplicity, as some of the confusing or overly-technical wow stats removed and replaced with more simple ones.

Let’s have a look at each of the WoW Cataclysm stats changes in depth:

WoW Cataclysm Stats

Cataclysm Stats Change – MP5 removed – Mana per 5 seconds (regeneration) will be removed from all items and be replaced with spirit. This is quite controversial as after the Burning Crusade expansion a lot of MP5 stats were added to make some items more class specific (and spirit was seen as too ‘powerful’ of a stat with too many effects). Well now it’s back!

WoW Cataclysm stats – Spellpower removed – This is a big change for mages in WoW Cataclysm – their favourite ‘Spellpower’ stat is being removed and replaced with more intellect. Some will see this as a positive (as +int also increases mana pool) but we will wait to see what the ‘conversion rate’ is.

WoW Cataclysm stat – Attack power removed – Hunters and rogues hold their breath as AP has also been removed from all items, replaced by its relative, agility. Agility in WoW Cataclysm will once again be the King of stats for melee classes, so look forward to lots of fights between classes in future.

WoW Stats change Cataclysm – Strength – Strength will replace attackpower on plate, which means that Warriors, Paladins and DKs will no longer desire the lesser mail drops of hunters and shamans.

WoW Cataclysm warrior stats – Defense – The much loved Defense stat, which warriors have relied on for years as their big advantage when it comes to tanking, is being removed. No more defense cap! Warriors will need to look to their talent tree for anti-crit from talents, instead of gear.

World of Warcraft Cataclysm Stats – Armor penetration – The armor pentration stat has been removed as it was seen as too confusing and techinical. It will be replaced with a new WoW Cataclysm stat – Mastery – which will give a boost to all areas.

Cataclysm stat change – Stamina increase – Stamina will be increased across nearly all items. Due to the removal of a number of other items and stats (especially for warriors), this will mean a lot to tanks and others.

Check back soon for more World of Warcraft Cataclysm info! At present, this is the information that we have about WoW Cataclysm stats changes.

Worgen racials have been one of the best kept secrets for WoW Cataclysm, but now we have some information about the Worgen racial abilities and how they will match up against other races. One of the biggest questions about the Worgen has been “What will the Worgen’s racial abilities and talents be?” – well this post aims to answer some of your questions with an in-depth look at each racial ability and what it might mean in the game.

WoW Cataclysm Worgen racials

- Cataclysm Worgen racial talent – Flayer – Skinning skills increased by 15 and lets you skin faster. Skinning knife not required for skinning.

Blizzard has used racial talents to influence professions, but this seems like a strange choice (as worgen can themselves be skinned!). Worgen do have sharp claws, however, so it makes sense that in World of Warcraft Cataclysm they should be able to skin quickly and have more skill.

- Worgen WoW racial – Two Forms – Switch to your currently inactive form. 1.5 sec cooldown.

The Alliance Worgen class in WoW Cataclysm will have an unique ability – to change their appearance! This should not be confused with Druids, however, who have different talents and abilities in each of their forms – it is purely for cosmetic appearance purposes.

- Worgen Cataclysm racial – Dark Flight – +70% run speed for 10 seconds. 3 minute cooldown

Similar to a rogue’s sprint ability, Dark Flight will give Worgen the racial talent of running very quickly on just a 3 minute cooldown. That cooldown may be changed as the Beta release approaches, because it seems a little low for such a useful racial ability.

- Worgen racial - Viciousness – +1% damage

Worgen will not just be used in PVP, so what can raiders expect from the new Alliance class? The Viciousness racial ability will see all Worgen get a 1% damage increase, which will translate nicely into damage in raids and is not to be ignored.

- Worgen WoW Cataclysm racial – Abberation – Length of Curses and Diseases reduced by 15%.

The final racial talent for Worgen in the new WoW expansion is Abberation – or a protective passive talent which will mean curses and diseases on the player will be reduced in time. Whether this will be effective in game is to be seen (the majority of curses/diseases on players in game do not reach their intended ending point anyway as they are usually cleansed). We will update you about this when we know more.

There are a number of ways to make sure you get your Wow Cataclysm Beta Invitation as soon as possible and you can begin testing all of the new World of Warcraft content on the Beta servers. Here’s the information and hopefully later we will also be able to give out some beta keys to lucky readers:

Wow Cataclysm Beta Invitation

The first way to get a WoW Cataclysm beta invite is to work for Blizzard! Ok, this isn’t a joke – but the first beta invitations for Cataclysm will be given to internal Beta testers within the company, who will give it a first go through to make sure that the content is around the right level of difficulty etc.

The second wave of beta invites for Cataclism will go to previous beta and alpha testers of other versions of the game. We at WoWCataclysmInfo.com were lucky enough to be able to beta test the original World of Warcraft and the structure was strict – we provided feedback on a monthly or weekly basis to the developers who tweaked the game serveral times before wiping all of the characters from all of the servers and starting again.

Included in this wave of testers for World of Warcraft Cataclysm beta invitations will be high end raiders – the groups of players who CONSTANTLY grind away at the game with the hope that maybe, one day, if they grind hard enough they will get a world first…well their reward is to be able to test the content on Blizzard’s behalf! I think buying a Beta key might be a better or more worhtwhile idea for them!). Anyway, they will be asked to check the new dungeons for difficulty level and gameplay.

Finally, the WoW Cataclysm open beta invitations will be sent to people who register on WoW.com. The registration has not opened yet (as soon as it does, you will find information right here) so when it does you can go directly to the WoW site and register your name and email address – but be quick! There are more than 10,000,000 people waiting for a beta invite!

The final way is a little bit of a grey area, but it will be possible to buy wow cataclysm beta invitations. After the official beta begins, check Ebay for listings saying ‘WoW Cataclysm Beta’ and you will find a large number of beta invitiations for sale – but be warned, the prices will be inflated and hey – why not just wait for the real game to begin?!

Stay tuned for more WoW expansion news – that’s all the information we have about the WoW Cataclysm beta invitations!

The newest World of Warcraft Cataclysm race is Goblin, and the biggest question that we’re asked is what are the new WoW Cataclysm Goblin racials? Well here is all of the information for you to find out about the small guys with their eyes on money and fame!

Goblins in World of Warcraft Cataclysm have some great new racials. These traits will let them leap from obscurity to being one of the most powerful World of Warcraft groups in the game. Goblins are well known for their racial ability, making money. They are also famous for engineering – in the same way as gnomes they own their own branch of World of Warcraft engineering (Goblin Engineering) and have some of the most amazing inventions in the game. Engineering will surely figure even more in WoW Cataclysm with the power of Goblins advancing.

WoW Cataclysm goblin racials

Can we expect anything else from Goblin racials? Let’s check out each one in depth:

Goblin racials

1 – Cataclysm Goblin Racial – Best Deals Anywhere – Always receive best discount regardless of faction

Goblins like to make money, so what better racial talent than the ability to save gold? They will always receive good discounts, regardless of the faction of the vendor. Magic for the bank!

2 – Cataclysm Goblin Racial – Pack Hobgoblin – Calls your personal servant allowing you bank access for 1 minute. 30 mins cooldown.

Your personal assistant, meaning almost unlimited bag space and those long farming missions will become like a dream for miners, herbalists and other grinders. Fill your bags for 30 minutes and then empty them in your Cataclysm bank!

3 – Goblin Racial Cataclysm – Better Living Through Chemistry – Alchemy skill increased by 15.

Alchemists should rejoice – the Goblins are coming to create potions, flasks and more. Combined with their ability to call up the bank for unlimited access to their herbs etc, this looks like a lockdown for the wow Cataclysm profession choice of goblins.

4 – Goblin Cataclysm Racials – Rocket Barrage – Launches your belt rockets an an enemy, dealing fire damage. 2 min cooldown.

Depending on the power of this rocket, it could be a gamechanger for new rolling Goblins. Can this rocket be used while stunned? Can it be used while sapped? We wait for World of Warcraft Cataclysm’s release to find out.

5 – Goblin Racials Cataclysm – Rocket Jump – Activates your rocket belt to jump forward. 2 min cooldown.

This is just like the rocket barrage – if it’s powerful or useful then this could almost be an imba racial for the goblins in World of Warcraft Cataclysm. Otherwise it could be just another wasted racial. We’ll see.

6 – WoW Cataclysm Goblin Racial – Time is Money – 1% increased attack and casting speed.

Not a game changer, but a welcome boost for all casting Goblins – a 1% inceased cast speed (or even attack speed for melee Goblins) could prove a nice DPS increase in raids.

We don’t have any more info about Goblin racials in WoW Cataclysm right now, but check back for more info as and when we get it!

Welcome to the newest and best website for info about the new World of Warcraft expansion, WoW Cataclysm! This website will keep you up to date with all of the news about Cataclysm including the big changes to the game, the new racials, the new items, the new races, the new Cataclysm professions (including Archaeology and the Path of the Titans!) and more.

WoW Cataclysm

Since the annoucnement that Blizzard were going to release the new Warcraft expansion, the internet has been going crazy about what might be included in the new expansion. The news has come slowly, but now we have a good picture about what WoW Cataclysm will look like.

- Firstly, the World of Warcraft expansion will raise every player’s level cap to 85. This means that there’ll be 5 more levels of potential for players of Warcraft. Is this good news? Did you want to see more than this? Perhaps. But Blizzard know that each level will take a long time to defeat, and players will try to enjoy the levelling process instead of rushing to level.

- The other big change is that there will be two new races in WoW Cataclysm. Horde Goblins will invade Azeroth, as well as Alliance Worgen! Goblin racials will be covered later in more detail, but for now just imagine a sneaky, money-grabbing race of Warcraft players and you’ll see these Goblins. After all, time is money!

- Worgen racials will mostly be related to their appearance and animalistic tendencies. Worgen will have a sprint-like racial talent as well as advantages when it comes to disease and other skills. Stay tuned for more info about them.

- WoW Cataclysm will also introduce new professions, including the much talked about Archaeology secondary profession which will be available to all Cataclysm players and will lead to huge changes in gameplay for all WoW players. Get ready for a big change!

- We heard that there are some new zones and areas in WoW Cataclism…Well now are finally able to explore Uldum, Hyjal and Gilneas! There will surely be some new Warcraft secrets revealed from these places! Maybe some artifact items too? Let’s wait and see!

- There will be lots of new WoW cataclysm racial talents as well as race and class combinations available! Look at this list: Human Hunter, Orc Mage, Dwarf Mage, Blood Elf Warrior, Tauren Paladin, Tauren Priest, Dwarf Shaman, Undead Hunter, Gnome Priest, Night Elf Mage and Troll Druid just to name a few..and we’ve already mentioned the biggest Cataclysm change, the two new races!

Anyway, keep it here for more WoW Cataclysm info and news!
