Okay, read the full list of changes and some of them are quite nice. I would like to know why Vanish has been changed "when used to avoid incoming attacks" since Blizzard claimed just a few weeks ago it was the "world design" causing problems <_<. My most played classes have a combined three changes: an icon, a skill I don't have, and Vanish. It'll be nice when getting reputation for Ravenholdt actually means something ...
Also read a bunch of blue posts. Apparantly Warsong Gulch is a 10v10 CTF Battleground, for levels 21-60, at tiers of every 10 levels. If this is implemented well, it should be awesome :w00t: . Alterac Valley is 40v40 pure fighting for 51-60, it looks like.
Some other random bits:
Wands - The Shoot Wand ability is now a toggle. While active, it will continue attacking with the equipped wand until some other action is taken (movement, spellcasting, item use, etc...). I'm glad about this because as a Mage, I'd rather have an auto-attack as a wand then as my dagger.
Sitting characters will now stand up immediately after an attack, even if stunned. Good, makes drinking safer, and gives Mages their anti-Rogue defense (Blink) while drinking. I still think Blind should be changed in some way. Blind shouldn't be able to be used as part of a stunlock.
Volley - Damage increased. Heh, would have been nice in the Lyceum with my Hunter/Hunter/Priest/Priest/Rogue runs :) Helps make 5-manning more viable without true AoEers, depending on the damage increase.
Wicked Leather Bracers Plan is no longer bind on acquire. That's great, but I've still never seen a Wicked Leather recipe drop - ever. I doubt I'll ever complete this set.
Everyone's favorite Alliance quest, "Deep Ocean, Vast Sea" now gives a substantial coin reward in addition to the choice of item. Wonder if it's worth doing now :)
Innkeepers around the world now have a gossip option that lets you join a meeting stone directly from the innkeeper rather than going to the location of the meeting stone. Also these Innkeepers will now have background lore about each of the dungeons. Interesting way to handle use of Meeting Stones. I'll have to read all the lore, at least :)
Pets of other party members will now display in the party UI. You can see pet health and harmful effects on the pet. You can turn this functionality on and off in the Interface Options menu. Finally!
Players must now bind a bind-on-equip bag to put in into a purchased bank bag slot. I'm confused by this. Does this mean any bag is bound to you once it's in a bank slot?
Fixed bug causing all tailoring recipes to show up as "orange" That cannot be fixed soon enough!
Edit: Bah! Took too long to write and Boutros beat me to the 10v10 part :P
Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
