Bornakk must read Sunfyre’s Nest…
by Sunfyre on Nov.14, 2009, under General
Thanks to the Blue Tracker on MMO-Champion, I was alerted to the following post from Bornakk:
“The main focus for the Quel’Delar was for it to fit for dps specs. Yes, this excludes tanks but if we added it for tanks then it would probably lead to tailoring for other specs like boomkin (sorry, just an example, not meaning to pick on you) and leads to bloating the rewards more and more than they already are.
Based on my experiences too, a weapon for a warrior or paladin tank isn’t quite as much of a lifeblood as it is for dps classes. Try swapping weapons around randomly some time and you will find that almost nobody will notice as long as you stay defense capped and put out good threat.
Of note: Internally we have made a change that removes the mp5 from the main hand mace and changed that to haste to match the sword to make it more dps-worthy. ”
Apparently they read about our distaste with the mace, and apparently he’s wrong, they did tailor it for moonkin.
Maybe next he can respond to multiple suggestion I (and you) have had regarding needed changes for our class.

Latest on Thu, 09:38 pm: They just updated the 4pc T13 again. 10% Bonus damage and 5 seconds reduced CD.
: Btw, it's not worth it to acctually refresh your dot when it proc...just play as if it's a normal weap... The 2,5 sec you loose refreshing your dot could have been used to get more eclipse utpime and thus benefiting from Nature's grace, which is more important.
: It pretty much averages out to 300 haste all the time, which isnt bad, but you're right it's hard to predict when it'll proc and casting dots accordingly. I feel the extra haste to the raid is worth it though.
: our 4 set bonus has been changed to 10% increased starsurge dmg
: Buffing T13 4 piece set bonus! Yay we can finally use our new tier set.

Awesome! Though I’m not usually one to push my suggestions for this game, I hope he glances at the new toys I suggested in one of your earlier posts — the one where I introduced “Moonharvest” and “Starfury”. We’re in dire need of an RNG-independent alternative to Eclipse and some new toys to play with.
