Patch notes!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- World of Warcraft Client Patch 1.9.3 (2006-02-07)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Love is in the Air!
Are you looking for love? All of Azeroth soon will be! As winter
draws to a close the races are starting to seek that special someone.
Be on the lookout for amorous individuals! Put on that special
perfume or cologne, express your love, and receive gifts in return!
Prepare yourself... love will soon be in the air!


Mac
- Added native support for Intel-powered Macs such as the iMac (Core
Duo) and MacBook Pro. World of Warcraft is now a Universal
Application. Be advised that the minimum supported MacOS X version
has been changed to 10.3.9; World of Warcraft version 1.9.3 and later
will not launch on older revisions of MacOS X.


Battlegrounds
- The default graveyards in Alterac Valley for each side were moved
further up the tunnels away from the battlegroud exit. This should
prevent accidentally leaving the battleground.


Paladin
- Eye for an Eye - This talent will now still do damage when the
paladin is stunned. In addition, if the critical hit kills the
paladin, damage will still be dealt to the spellcaster.
- Greater Blessing of Sanctuary - Paladins with Righteous Fury will now
generate extra threat correctly when this Blessing procs.


Rogue
- Deadly Poison V - The charges were inadvertently not increased with
the new rank of the ability. Increased from 105 to 120 charges.
- Slice and Dice - This ability should no longer miss.


Warrior
- Shield Block - This aura will now correctly be removed when the
charges are all consumed. However, it is still possible when fighting
multiple opponents to get extra blocks due to technical restrictions.


Items
- Arcanist Gloves were not receiving the intended spell damage bonus;
this has been corrected.
- The Stamina and Intellect on Kezan's Unstoppable Taint were
inadvertently flipped; this has been corrected.
- The Enigma's Answer and Stormcaller's Wrath effects now have tooltips.
- The mana regeneration effect from food no longer causes threat.
- Quicksand Waders are now Bind on Pickup.
- The Slime-coated Leggings now have their proper nature resistance.
- Prophetic Aura, Mageblood Potion, Wizard Oils, and the Mana
Regeneration bracer enchant no longer generate threat for the wearer,
and should also provide the increased mana regeneration on normal
ticks instead of every 5 seconds.
- The Ancient Hakkari Manslayer has the proper icon again.


Professions
- The Engineering schematic for the Tranquil Mechanical Yeti now
requires a Cured Rugged Hide rather than Ice Thistle E'ko so that
both Horde and Alliance Engineers can make the recipe.
- Stormshroud Gloves are now Bind on Equip.


Quests & Reputation
- Grammar fixed for gossip associated with the quest "Trial of the Sea
Lion" in Moonglade.
- Fixed a bug with the quest "Glyphed Oaken Branch" that was having the
quest become available sooner than it should have.
- The reputation modifier of Squire Leoren Mal'derath has been reduced.
- Zandalar Tribe reputation rewards for killing mobs in Zul’Gurub have
been increased.
- Winterfall Spirit Beads and Deadwood Headdress Feathers now stack in
quantities of 250.


Raid & Dungeons
- Various bugs have been rectified in the Ahn'Qiraj dungeons.
Molten Core
* It should now be very difficult to remain out of combat while
fighting the bosses in Molten Core.
Zul'Gurub
* A small number of spawns have been removed from Zul'Gurub to allow
for a slightly faster clearing time.
* Increased cooldown on Poison Bolt Volley of High Priestess Mar'li.
* Slightly reduced the melee damage of High Priestess Mar'li.
* The vengance effect gained by the death of the raptor Ohgan during
the Bloodlord Mandokir fight has been increased in power.
* Reduced the overall damage of High Priest Thekal.
* Slowed the rate at which the panthers spawn during the High
Priestess Arlokk fight.
* Hakkar:
Melee damage reduced.
Cause Insanity should now correctly target Hakkar's current target,
rather than closest.
Cause Insanity will no longer remove all threat gained.
Reduced the damage dealt by Poisonous Blood Siphon.
Increased cooldown on Blood Siphon.
Gained an Enrage ability after 10 minutes in combat.
No longer has the Slow ability.
Corrupted Blood now deals direct damage with a following damage
over time effect and no longer spreads to others in the raid.
Fixed a bug that was causing Corrupted Blood to target the current
target rather than the intended random target.
* Increased duration of Poisonous Cloud emitted by Sons of Hakkar.
* Shades of Jin'do are now considered Undead.
- Slightly increased the movement of Lethon's Spirit Shades.
- Reduced the duration of Lethon's Draw Spirit from 7 seconds to 5
seconds.
- Fixed a bug that would cause Lethon's Draw Spirit to spawn two
spirits per person instead of one.
- King Gordok can no longer be seperated from Cho'Rush the Observer in
Dire Maul.


World Environment
- Royal Dreadguards, Undercity Guardians, and Ironforge Guards will now
detect enemy players at the same distance as the other cities' guards.
- Fixed a bug that would cause you to dismount in certain areas within
the Undercity.

D'oh! Right after I spend good money for Ice Thistle. Oh well, it'll give me something to use my Cured Rugged Hides on.
At first I thought, "Mind control satellites? No way!" But now I can't remember how we lived without them.

Two comments...

1) What could be SO hard about allowing Ice Thistle E'ko to drop on both sides that it was changed to cured rugged hide instead? I know Blizzard stated that Alliance inability to obtain the E'ko, save via auction house, was a bug that was going to be addressed. I wonder why they couldn't do so.

2) Where in Azeroth did Stormshroud Gloves come from? Did I miss something?
See you in Town,

Wasn't the thistle part of a quest series for the Horde? I imagine it would be easier to change one recipe's requirements and a few tooltips, than to open a new quest series to a whole new faction and do all the associated testing.

Bingo. You get some shards off the giants in the southern part of WS, then the troll gives you a dohicky you keep in your inventory. Then you kill various critters in WS, and get their Eko, which you turn in for Juju, which gives you various buffs.

As usual, the Blizzard downloader sucks. Get the patch from filefront here.

That's the same thing it's always been, item database.

Personally, I prefer the change. Farming those E'kos is a royal pain in the bum. I like the idea of strolling to the auction house instead of slogging through the snow, farmers and gankers in winterspring. (Ok, so the farmers and gankers are fun, but the snow not so much. :w00t: )

Shame I've already built mine.

Well, it would have been nice to have the +15 FR Embers, which are from E'kos, available to the Alliance. :)

I use the +30 str ones all the time too. 4 more DPS on the warriors, 2 more DPS on rogues. I like it. :) Besides you get tons of winterfall eko grinding furby rep so you end up with 40, 50, 100 juju why not str buff the party. They stack higher than scrolls do. :)

I keep forgetting to check if the 15FR juju stacks with the shaman totem/paly aura or MotW though.

It's all just zeroes and ones and duct tape in the end.

Did they fix the asymetrical shoulderpads of Dwarven females?

Although everyone logging onto the server sees the message, it should be noted that there's a bug preventing cloth items from being disenchanted right now. Blizzard is working on a fix. I just don't understand is how could such a bug be introduced in the first place. Oh, well.
