A bunch of news: new epic JC only trinkets. Primal nethers and nether votexes are BOE (wow). Nether vortexes are purchasable with badges. Resil affects mana drain, with 450 resil knocking off 23%. Druids heavily nerfed by changing the 4pc bonus to a -cast time to healing touch.
That last one stings. A lot. While druids need some sort of 2's and 3's nerf, it's a pretty heavy one, and the new bonus is trash. No druid at any sort of competitve level is going to just stand around in caster and get off a bunch of 2.75 second casts. It's a big nerf to 5's, where druids already need help.
15 badges for a nether vortex seems low. I don't disagree with the idea though. Unboping them (and the primal nethers) I'm less sure about. I think having them be bop was a way for crafters to earn a nice bit of cash - if the change goes through they will be forced to just accept 5-10g for the combine.
And 20$ gets you entry to a pvp only server, where you can choose 3 fully geared toons. Tournament prize package is 200k. This is for 3v3.\
Vashj, but not the other bosses in SSC dropped essence of immortals. Still unknown are T6 bosses such as Rage, etc. Probably safe to assume that Illadin and Archi drop them. Also, 3 badges from her.
