Dragon Soul Power of the Aspects buff to increase next week

by Adam Holisky on Feb 22nd 2012 (14 hours ago)

Starting at server maintenance next Tuesday, the Power of the Aspects buff will increase in Dragon Soul. This means that the health and damage output from enemies will be reduced by 10%. Remember that this only applies to normal and heroic versions and that it can always be shut off.

The Power of the Aspects buff currently stands at 5%, which went into effect on Jan. 31, 2011. So it took about a month for the buff to increase to the next level. Blizzard has said the spell will continue to increase but not at a set interval, as was done in Icecrown Citadel.

The full blue post is as follows:

Blizzard Entertainment
During the scheduled server maintenance on the week of February 28, the "Power of the Aspects" spell will grow more powerful, reducing the health and damage dealt of all enemies in the Dragon Soul raid by 10%. This spell will grow progressively stronger over time to reduce the difficulty and make the encounters more accessible. The spell will affect both normal and Heroic difficulties, but it will not affect the Raid Finder difficulty.

Don't need the help of the Dragon Aspects? The spell can be disabled by talking to Lord Afrasastrasz at the beginning of Dragon Soul.

We hope you continue to enjoy Dragon Soul, and that these changes encourage you to attempt a higher difficulty, or just keep pushing to down that next boss.

The Queue: Pandaren dance

by Adam Holisky on Feb 21st 2012 (1 day ago)

Welcome back to The Queue, the daily Q&A column in which the WoW Insider team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft. Adam Holisky (@adamholisky) will be your host today.

I'm getting pretty excited to see what MoP is going to bring for us. I think it's really just a short while until we get into beta territory, and after that, the release is soon to follow.

I'm already getting pretty bored of Dragon Soul -- I mean, we've got many of the hard modes to do still, but that's only so interesting. It's time for some Mists.

Tanddori asked:

Do you think the Toxic Wastling is going to go the same route as the Sinister Squashling? ie, go Bind on use?

The Queue: Creepiest class combo

by Adam Holisky on Feb 16th 2012 (6 days ago)

Welcome back to The Queue, the daily Q&A column in which the WoW Insider team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft. Adam Holisky (@adamholisky) will be your host today.

An alternative title for today's Queue would be "I Hate Heroic Hagara." Why? Because everyone standing in a cross pattern and being perfect at their positioning is damn hard. That, and I have to click off stamina buffs just to live through the Watery Enchantment, because 12k ticks of damage is a lot easier to live through than 20k ticks. For some reason, that just makes me rage.

Anyway, these are all first-world problems, and I really don't hate heroic Hagara. I love her.

Discol asked:

I am wanting to use the new Real ID raiding feature to organize and lead old-school raids (Molton Core through Icecrown) but the issue is that I don't know where to find people who are willing to do this. Are there Real ID raiding communities springing up anywhere?
