Seen this on multiple set bonuses, wondering if anybody actually knows what it means?

It means they don't have the duration set yet.

Draenei warlocks or Cataclysm is a waste.

it means blizzard hasn't actually properly thrown a number on it in the game files
and apparently they copy pasted their plans post out of the game files

"Until cancelled" is what a spell shows as a duration if no duration is set and the spell is not instantaneous.

For set bonuses this generally means someone misread the data or the set bonus just isn't done.

This. The PTR just came out bro.



I'm aware of that. Did you not see the "T10 set bonus feedback" thread? If you wanna ask for feedback on something it should probably be able to be interpreted. I wasn't complaining was merely curious, bro.

Red text. Thanks GC :)

Q u o t e:
Think Trueshot Aura or Righteous Fury.


You can't possibly think it's going to work that way...

"BRB guys, we just wiped and i need to go outside and autoshoot critters until i get my OP 15% damage buff again so I'll have it for the whole fight."

It will obviously have a duration of a few seconds, and yet they asked for feedback on it without us knowing exactly what that will be, or if it has an internal cooldown.

Given the strength of the buffs involved, it'll most likely have an internal cooldown and I wouldn't expect it to last longer than 15 seconds (similar to a number of the other set bonuses). It'll probably be even shorter than that.

Looking at the hunter one, as long as the cooldown is at least 6 seconds or so, I don't care much what the cooldown is, it'll still be damn sexy. With no cooldown it could be a huge boost to BM.

It means that the buff lasts from the moment it procs until the moment a player of your class threatens to cancel their subscription on the forums. For warriors, this averages to about 10 seconds. =)

I noticed none of the shadow bonuses were until canceled, does that mean they want ours to have an uptime?

Obviously, although a Shadow proc that occured every "for until cancelled" would be nice. Does this mean you're coming back on the Priest for a bit? Or are ya planning on Dual Boxxing the Priest and the lock?

I am cautiously optimisitc about the direction shadows are heading in at the moment. If the haste change plays out nicely and the t10 set is well itemised I probably will switch back.
