Live Patch Precautions..
by Sunfyre on Oct.12, 2010, under Cataclysm, General
The 4.0.1 live build is the exact same build number as PTR. As such, we can expect a few bugs, and there’s a few precautions.
- Sunfire will most likely be bugged and not scaling with haste, and ticking at 3 second intervals.
Many people experienced problems with training mastery, where training mastery did not infact GIVE you mastery. (The spellbook still said to go see your trainer). I figured out a way to make it work, using the following method. I suggest you do the same just as a precaution.
- When you first load into 4.0, before you talent, head to Moonglade. At the trainer, learn mastery and leather specialization before any other ability.
There was also issues with existing character copies to PTR where they weren’t properly learning their profession. A rumored fix that I can’t confirm is to learn a new profession recipe/pattern/etc before you change to a new server (ie from Kalimdor to Eastern Kingdom, or to Northrend, etc). I can’t confirm this. I’ll post more when I get on live and see if my professions work.

Latest on Mon, 08:03 pm: When you hit 0 energy, in 5.1, you'd go to 20 energy. + 40 energy from one cast to 60 energy, + 40 energy from cast #2, that's 100 energy. Now you go from 0 energy to 40 energy. Cast #1 brings you to 80. Cast #2 is still required, and it brings you to 100 energy (which is really 120 but you get nothing for that extra energy). The amount of casts did not change. 2.
: Wait, what you just said doesn't make sense. What makes us go straight to 20 energy? With SotF it takes 2 casts to reach lunar. 2 casts to reach solar. Without SotF it takes 3, correct me if i'm wrong.
: Sorry, I don't understand where your getting the 20 from, 100 80 60 40 20 0 40 80 100 or sotf 100 80 60 40 20 0 (40 sf + 40 sotf) 80 120 ??
: Hi sunfyre, how would you say the 4p t15 will be with SoTF? Does that also maybe make mastery more valuable?
: Hey Sunfyre. I'm trying to wrap my head around what you've been saying about SotF. How exactly does it not reduce Starfire casts by 1?
: Started a Druid....3 days ago or something like that.... Anyways i got to lvl 60 and im not using gear SETS so much as im using the things that look especially helpful such as Int and Spir Stacke, Occasionally with some 14-15 haste involved..... Im not one of those guys who go out and get the best pve/pvp gear But i really need some help..... im a resto balance mix and well my hits are only doing about 5K at lvl 60 :/ what sohuld i do?
: Hi Sunfyre! Have you tried SotF+NV/HoTW vs Inv+NV/HoTW on PTR? If not, will you do this?

I logged in Dire Bear form and had to go take a swim in the Stormwind Canal for a few minutes before I could, ahem, release myself from bear form. …at least it was a quick corpse run.
I then went and trained, got Mastery no problem, but instead lost Insect Swarm to the bug.
