--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- World of Warcraft Client Patch 1.11.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shadow of the Necropolis
Floating above the Plaguelands, the necropolis known as Naxxramas
serves as the seat of one of the Lich King's most powerful officers,
the dreaded lich Kel'Thuzad. Horrors of the past and new terrors yet
to be unleashed are gathering inside the necropolis as the Lich
King's servants prepare their assault. The Scourge marches again...
Naxxramas is the new 40-man raid dungeon that will present even the
most experienced and powerful players with an epic challenge.

General
- The cost to unlearn talents will now decay over time. This cost will
be reduced by a rate of 5 gold per month to a minimum of 10 gold.
- Logging back in after a disconnect from the server has been greatly
improved, and players should now rarely receive the message "A
character with that name already exists."
- Fear: The calculations to determine if Fear effects should break due
to receiving damage have been changed. The old calculation used the
base damage of the ability. The new calculation uses the final amount
of damage dealt, after all modifiers. In addition, the chance for a
damage over time spell to break Fear is now significantly lower. Note
that Fear continues to be roughly three times as likely to break on
player targets as on non-player targets. In addition, Intimidating
Shout now follows that player versus non-player distinction, while
previously it did not.
- Periodic Healing: Spells which do periodic healing will now have
their strength determined at the moment they are cast. Changing the
amount of bonus healing you have during the duration of the periodic
spell will have no impact on how much it heals for.
- Reflection: Effects which cause reflection will no longer reflect
triggered effects separately from their base effects (e.g. Impact,
Improved Shadow Bolt, Aftermath, etc.)
- Spell and Item Auras with Charges: These auras will now correctly
remember their number of charges when you enter or leave an instance,
change continents, or log out.
- All controlled units will now be titled based on the creature type.
All beasts will be referred to as Pets, for example (no matter how
they are controlled). Previously, there were several inconsistencies.
- Beneficial spells and abilities that target multiple units will no
longer consume resources (i.e. mana, rage etc...) if they fail to
affect anyone.
- Chain targeted spells and abilities (e.g. Multi-shot, Cleave, Chain
Lightning) will no longer land if target cannot be seen by the caster
due to stealth or invisibility.
- Character model transparency has been modified to fix an issue where
PC's would appear to have a large hole in their model (be on the
lookout!).
- Optimization code known as "M2Faster" is now enabled by default.
M2Faster can improve performance in crowded scenes when "Vertex
Animation Shaders" is turned on. This function can be turned off by
setting M2Faster to "0" in the config.wtf.
Reduces the unique number of vertex shader permutations that we will
choose to use in rendering
Sorts the drawing of items in the scene a little differently to
reduce the number of times we re-program the vertex shader hardware.

PVP
- In an effort to keep their armies better outfitted the Horde and
Alliance have both taken it upon themselves to update their available
rewards.
An updated set of armor rewards have been added to vendors for Honor
ranks 7, 8, and 10.
The armor rewards for Honor ranks 12 and 13 have been increased in
level and stat point allocation.
New rank 14 weapons have been added! In order to give casters the
same diversity of selection that melee currently enjoy we have added
new caster items that are available to be purchased by Grand
Marshals and High Warlords.

Battlegrounds
- Alterac Valley
Most of the NPC guard units have been removed.
Players now drop more quest items.
Creatures that remain in Alterac Valley have had their hit points
reduced.
The buff that is periodically cast by each faction's Captain has
been changed to a flat 20% hit point buff.
Upgrading troops through armor scrap turn-ins will also now result
in your team's General enabling a periodic buff to your melee and
spell damage.
- This buff scales from 10% at the Seasoned unit level, 20% at the
Veteran unit level, and 30% at the Champion unit level.
- Warsong Gulch - Epic leggings have been added to the Warsong Outrider
and Silverwing Sentinel supply officers for all armor types. These
items require Exalted status with their respective reputations.

Druids
- Innervate: This spell is now a base ability for all Druids, trainable
at level 40. Any Druid who formerly had the Innervate talent now has
the Swiftmend talent instead.
- Nature's Grace: You will no longer consume this effect when casting a
spell which was made instant by Nature's Swiftness.
- Swiftmend: This new talent has been added to the Druid Restoration
tree, replacing Innervate as the 31 point ultimate talent. It
consumes a Rejuvenation or Regrowth aura to produce an instant heal.
- Enrage: Tooltip edited to clarify functionality.

Hunters
- Counterattack (Survival Talent) - All ranks of this talent will now
share the same cooldown.
- Scorpid Poison: Duration slightly lengthened.
- Changed the way hunter pet family armor bonuses and penalties are
applied to allow the exact value from the Natural Armor talent to be
applied correctly. This may result in a very slight loss of armor to
some pets (less than a third of a percent).
- Improved Scorpid Sting: The aura from this Sting will now be removed
(as intended) when a different Sting aura is placed on the victim.

Mages
- Due to significant talent changes, mages will have all talent points
refunded and can be respent. Training costs for all talent spell
replacements have been significantly reduced.

Paladins
- Benediction: This talent will no longer incorrectly provide a double
discount to Seal of Justice.
- Blessing of Light: It is no longer possible for a target to appear to
have multiple ranks of Blessing of Light. These multiple auras had no
beneficial effect, merely causing confusion. Problems with targeting
the spell when the caster has Blessing of Light effect on them have
also been fixed.
- Divine Favor: It is no longer possible to cast this immediately after
a healing spell and "retroactively" make it a critical hit.

target, the Recently Shielded aura will now appear on the correct
target instead of yourself.

Redemption form now has casting animations. Priests prematurely
leaving battlegrounds with this aura on will now receive the Deserter
debuff (as intended); Priests in Spirit of Redemption form at the
completion of a battleground will have the aura removed without
dying; It will now work correctly with the Darkmoon Card Twisting
Nether item, resurrecting you after Spirit of Redemption has run its
course; If you should die underwater the Spirit of Redemption will no
longer have a breath bar appear; the Warlock Drain Soul spell will
terminate producing 1 shard when the Priest switches to Spirit of
Redemption form; You will no longer have to wait 30 seconds for
graveyard resurrection upon your first death while using Spirit of
Redemption.
- Vampiric Embrace: This ability will no longer heal for damage caused
when the target had no life remaining.

the final rank. Chance to stun at each rank changed to 15/30/45%.

did previously.
- Sweeping Strikes: This spell has a number of fixes: When used in
conjunction with Execute and 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; If the ability you are using does not deal damage, it will
not use a charge of Sweeping Strikes; The extra attack it generates
when used with Whirlwind now has the correct damage range; The
additional attacks generated by this ability will now properly take
into account the armor of the second target.

- We have re-evaluated the mechanics of consumable items in the game
and concluded that these should work in a more intuitive manner. As
such, most items that can not be equipped with right click abilities
have been streamlined into one of three categories. Using an item of
a particular category will trigger a shared cooldown among all other
items in the same category. The categories break down as follows with
category cooldowns as listed.
Potions 2 minutes: This includes items such as Health Potion, Mana
Potion, Invisibility Potion and Mighty Rage Potion.
Aggressive 1 minute: This includes items such as explosives, Really
Sticky Glue and Discombobulator Ray.
Non-Aggresive 2 minutes: This includes items such as Healthstone,
Night Dragon's Breath, Whipper Root Tuber and Target Dummy.
- Many items that can be equipped have had their cooldown category
removed and will be controlled exclusively by the item's self
cooldown. For example, the Gnomish Mind Control Cap should no longer
trigger the cooldown of the Talisman of Arathor.
- We have re-evaluated the class specific quest rewards for both
Zul'Gurub and Ahn'Qiraj Ruins. To bring them more in line with the
effort required to attain them we have upgraded the superior items to
epic quality.

on those weapons.

The materials used in sapper charges have become less stable and now
on occasion sapper charges will only affect the user lighting them
on fire for a period of time.
A player is now much more likely to break out of the The Reckless
Charge effect of the Rocket Helmet early. This is to maintain
consistency with all other effects that take control away from a
player (Sheep, Stun, Hibernate, etc...). This change only affects
players, there is no change in using it against monsters.
When a Paladin is replaced by their Evil Twin due to transporter
malfunction, they can no longer revert to their normal self using

Raids and Dungeons
- Release timers have been be removed from instances. This includes
dungeons, battlegrounds, and raid instances.
- Instituted an anti-exploit measure on certain encounters (almost
entirely raid bosses). These encounters will prevent people from
zoning into the instance while that encounter is engaged. If you
attempt to zone into the instance while that encounter is engaged,
you will be resurrected at the outside entrance. We will be making
adjustments to the entrances to Molten Core and Blackwing Lair to
accommodate this change. Combat resurrections, soulstones,
reincarnate, etc. will still work fine. This is primarily to combat
graveyard rushing in instances.

Class specific armor quests given by the Zandalarian trolls of
Yojamba Isle no longer require Bijous or coins for completion. Armor
quests now only require a Primal Hakkari piece and appropriate
faction with Zandalar.

require Arcanum (Librams) from Dire Maul. The requirements have been
changed to items found within Zul'Gurub. Speak with Zanza the

The various clan speakers (Bloodscalp Speaker, Sandfury Speaker,
etc) have had their hit points reduced considerably.
Zandalarian Armor Replacement - Due to the changes made to the armor
rewards from the Paragons of Power quests, the trolls of Yojamba
Isle will now offer to replace pieces of armor that have been lost
or deleted.
After careful consideration we have decided to add an additional
loot table to the High Priests of Zul'Gurub. Players should now see
two items in addition to the tokens when slaying these bosses.
When Hakkar gains the Berserk effect, Hakkar will now emote that he
is berserk instead of emoting that he is enraged.
- Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj
Ossirian the Unscarred - There is a new crystal that will be visible
before the encounter begins. Players can use this crystal just like
any other crystal in the encounter, but it cannot come back up
during the encounter.
Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj Class Set Reward Replacement - Due to the changes
made to the rewards from the Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj class set quests,

will get an error message and be able to reassign the loot
- Text that a raid leader sends to chat will now be displayed in a
different color and will have the [Raid Leader] label.

leaders and assistants. Text that is sent to this channel will appear
in the center of the screen for all players in the raid. The channel
is called Raid Warning and text can be sent to it with "/rw"
- Raid leaders now have a Ready Check button on their raid interface.
This can also be sent with /readycheck from the chat line. A Ready
Check sends an "Are you ready?" window with Yes/No buttons to all
players in the raid. The raid leader will get feedback in 30 seconds
on all the players who were not ready or who did not respond.
- Players now have a Raid Info button on their raid interface that
functions the same way /raidinfo worked before. This function will
display a pane showing all of the raid instances that a player is
saved to, rather than displaying it to the chat window.
- Players in a party may now select an option that allows them to all
currently open instances.
You only get the reset all instances option if you are a party
leader.

more instances open, and you are not currently in an instance.
The UI option is a right-click option off of your own portrait (like
party loot options).
You get a warning dialogue when you select this option asking if you
really want to reset all instances.
If you select reset all instances, all non-raid instances will be
reset to their starting condition.

portrait of their target to select a symbol to associate with that
target. All players in the party/raid will see the selected symbol
over the head of the target as well as on the portrait of that target.
- Players can now turn on the "Target of Target" in the Raid and Party
section of the interface options. When this is turned on, anytime a
player is in a party or raid, it will show the portrait and health of
whatever your current target has targeted. You can click on that
portrait to target that thing directly or if you have the spell glove
up you can cast spells on the target of target without targeting it
directly.

and bags that are in your bank have a gray background when opened.
This will allow a player to more easily tell the difference between a
bag they are carrying and one that is in their bank.

Honored for instance) that text will be displayed to the chat log
instead of to the combat log.

their own portrait (where you select the loot UI preference) that is
"Reset all Instances". If this is selected all non raid instances will
be reset for the party.
- Players now automatically have Keyrings. When a player first acquires
a key, they will automatically acquire a keyring that can only hold
permanent dungeon keys. The size of the keyring will increase as the
player goes up in level up to 12 key slots at level 60.
- Additional action bars now have range indicators on them. If a button
in one of a players additional action bars has a range component, it
will display a red dot when a target is out of range.

and selecting the "Target" option.
- Spells that have a lasting effect on a player and have charges such
as the Shaman's Lightning Shield spell will now display how many
charges are left on spell icon.
- The icons of negative effects on that appear on the player now have
a color to indicate their type. Curses are purple, disease is yellow,
poison is green and magic is blue. In addition when a party member is
struck by one of these four types of negative effects, their portrait
will pulse the appropriate color for 30 seconds or until the effect
is removed.
- Using B at the bank will now toggle open/closed all of your bags and
all of your bank bags.

with your bank pane, your bags will scale down to a smaller size so
you can access all of your bags and the bank at the same time.

UI Scripting
- Frame XML Change - There is a new "clampToScreen" attribute, which
will prevent the frame from being dragged off the screen.
- Button XML Changes
The button implementation has been changed from three fontstrings
to a single fontstring with three font objects. This is more
efficient, uses less memory, and reduces the complexity of defining
a button. To support this, the existing NormalText, HighlightText,
and DisabledText elements have been deprecated (though they will
still work in 1.11 for backwards compatibility), and new elements
ButtonText, NormalFont, HighlightFont, and DisabledFont are defined
to replace them.
- New API Functions
SetCursor() can now be passed a 32x32 texture filename, as well as a
cursor mode, or nil to reset the cursor.
GetAddOnMetadata("addon", "field") - returns the value of the
following fields in the addon TOC file: Title, Notes, Author,
Version, and any field starting with X-
- Region Script Object - Region is the base object type for all frames,
textures and fontstrings. Region is also the type of object returned
by the new Frame:GetTitleRegion() method. Region:GetObjectType() returns
"Region", and Region:IsObjectType("type") returns true if "type" is
"Region".
All regions have the following member functions:
type = Region:GetObjectType()
isType = Region:IsObjectType("type")
