Weekly build up on the beta realms. Details of new stuff here.
This one was big, because they did a total reworking of buff/debuff stacking. A lot of buffs were tweaked so that different classes provided exactly the same effect (eg, Blessing of Might gives same attack power now as Commanding Shout), and they made things giving the same effect non-stacking. This is apparently so that there's less stacking of raid groups specifically to get as many buffs/debuffs as possible.
Rogues have been given a Misdirect-like skill, which gives a target the threat of the next 6 attacks and increases the target's damage by 15% for the duration.
And they changed Blessing of Sanctuary, making it something much more useful--3% damage reduction and rage/runic power/mana on dodge/block/parry.

Added a PvP section the guild board.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Virus alert. 
I got kicked off in the middle of a session and had over 6K latency when I signed back on. Rebooting didn't help, so I ran my security scan.
Turn up this: www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/virusencyclo/d ... eneric.ADV - generic description of a low threat, but it was in my WoW and D2 files. Though my virus program thinks it was successfully quarantined, I still have almost 7K latency.
Don't know where it can from since about all I do on the web is play WoW and visit the Watch.
[edit] I *think* I have it working again, but I don't know if it's safe to use. Virus scan can't find anything else, but I am not convinced that it got everything.

Oh, a change is coming, feel these doors now closing
Is there no world for tomorrow, if we wait for today?

I deleted the infected files and reinstalled, but it's still unplayable. I don't know what else to try. Any advice?Sorus wrote:Virus alert.

How about uninstalling completely. Run full virus scan. Run full spyware removal. full reinstall WoW / BC w/ no add-ins. Hopefully joy.

That's what I'm doing now, thanks.
Very annoyed that it happened in the first place. I have not downloaded anything recently or visited any suspicious sites. I do not use add-ons. My anti-virus is up-to-date, and I had run a full scan two days before it happened. My firewall is on the second-highest setting.
