"In order to preserve the
challenge of these dungeons, they have had their instance caps
lowered. Stratholme, Scholomance, and Blackrock Depths now allow a
maximum of five players inside, and Blackrock Spire allows a maximum
of ten."
Interesting. . .
"In this patch, any quests done at maximum level will have
their experience reward converted to a healthy amount of gold, thus
adding additional incentive to completing those quests in your log
once you hit 60."
Well, this is only about a year late.
"If you're making several jumps to get to your destination, you will
now be able to choose that flight path from your initial Flight
Master. The costs will remain the same, but you no longer need to
manually click on each path. The UI has also been improved
significantly."
NICE.
"You will no longer lose your current target when affected by a crowd
control spell (e.g. Fear, Polymorph etc...)."
NICE.
"Frostwolf and Stormpike faction will now be gained by killing
players of the opposite faction. Reputation will no longer be split
up among the entire raid group."
NICE! No more freakin' idlers!
"The reputation gain in Warsong Gulch and Arathi Basin has been
significantly increased."
Better and better...
"Druids
All shapeshift forms can now use equipped items."
That looks interesting.
"Paladins
Blessing of Sacrifice - This Blessing can no longer be used to
prevent the death of a target that is supposed to die for a spell
effect (e.g.: Sacrifice, Demonic Sacrifice, Divine Intervention,
Ritual of Doom)."
Appropriate change.
"Warlocks
Creatures immune to fear are now also properly immune to the fear
effect of Death Coil."
Darian: YES!
Caerdwyn: NOOOOO!
"Warriors
- Execute - This ability will now work with Sweeping Strikes again. If
the second victim is below 20% health, they will be hit with the full
Execute amount. If the second victim is not below 20% health, they
will be hit with normal melee swing damage.
- Whirlwind - When this ability is used with Sweeping Strikes, it will
burn only one charge of Sweeping Strikes and will generate only one
additional attack.
- Flurry - Ranks 1 through 4 of this talent will now activate correctly
again.
- Retaliation - This ability will now function correctly at full melee
range."
...good...
"Intimidating Shout - The cowering in fear effect will no longer be
applied when the target resists this shout. In addition, this shout
will now affect a maximum of 5 targets.
- Flurry - Your haste will now last only the intended next 3 swings.
- Sweeping Strikes - The additonal attacks generated by this ability
will now properly take into account the armor of the second target."
...bad. =P
"Items
- Relics have been introduced to the game. These are class specific
items for Druids, Paladins, and Shaman which can be equipped in the
ranged slot. Currently there are a handful for each class which can
be found scattered throughout Blackrock Depths, Blackrock Spire, Dire
Maul, Scholomance, Stratholme, and The Temple of Ahn'Qiraj. We hope
that you enjoy the first round of available relics and we will
continue to add more in future patches."
Good add, long overdue.
"The value of Health per 5 seconds items was re-evaluated and has been
changed to be the same as Mana per 5 items. As a result most items
that restore Health per 5 seconds will see an increase in
effectiveness."
Oh, sweet! I have so many +health items it's not even funny...
"Green Whelp Armor no longer affects targets above level 50 and the
sleep duration was reduced to 10 seconds."
ohthankgod.
"Professions
Engineering
Fused Wiring now stacks to 5."
thankyouthankyouthankyou.
"Quests & Reputation
The Hexxer's Head is no longer a requirement for the Collection of
Heads quest in Zul'Gurub."
Hmmmmm.
"Raids & Dungeons
Dire Maul
Tendris Warpwood will now call upon any protectors still alive to
aid him."
Oh, now that's interesting. So's this:
"Magister Kalendris has been moved in to the middle of the hall."
"Blackrock Spire
Some monsters were removed to reduce the time it takes to run the
dungeon.
Mother's Milk off Mother Smolderweb will now only affect players.
Spire Spiderlings now have fewer hitpoints."
Maybe 5-manning LBRS won't SUCK now.
"Blackrock Depths
Pick lock and Seaforium now work on the Shadowforge Gates Mechanism."
Eh. Kinda lame. This means rogues or druid engineers can now just walk through bar-side BRD.
"The difficulty of the Lord Incendius and Ambassador Flamelash
encounters has been increased."
So now, it'll take us 25 seconds to kill Incendius instead of 10? =P
"User Interface
All Set bonuses for a set now display even if you do not have all the
required items for that set. The set bonuses that you do not have yet
display in gray and also show in parenthesis the number of pieces of
the set required for that bonus."
Nice convenient change. I approve.
"World Environment
- New flight paths have been added between:
Ironforge and Light's Hope Chapel
Stonetalon Peak and Astranaar
Talendris Point and Everlook
Theramore and Talendris Point
Sepulcher and Tarren Mill"
WOOT!
