Patch observations so far:
I updated some of my mods, but not all of them. Haven't noticed any major errors so far, although some things seem to have moved around a bit (I guess settings didn't get saved across the patch).
Meditation change: Mana, glorious, glorious mana. I think I gained about 60-70 mp5 post-patch. Of the 4 fights in TK, Void Reaver was the only one where I was struggling for mana (mainly due to chain casting Circle of Healing on the melee group) but a Earring of Soulful Meditation-enhanced Innervate fixed that.
Mad Alchemists Potion: I stocked up on Ragveil pre-patch when it was cheap, and as a result I was drinking them like water last night. The "side effects" are random elixir buffs: you can have two at once (1 battle/1 guardian) but they won't replace an existing elixir/flask buff.
Kael'Thas: The reduction in life of the advisors and weapons was very noticeable. Phase 1 seemed to fly by in the blink of an eye (barring the 1 attempt where we spent 5 minutes on Telonicus waiting for a disconnected player to log back on). Phase 2 and 3 were previous major DPS checks. Pre-patch, we usually had 5 of the 7 weapons down by the time phase 3 started, and there was always a bit of panic grabbing the weapons and moving into position for the advisers' return.
Last night, most of the weapons were dead with 30-35 seconds to go, giving us plenty of time to loot and prepare for phase 3. In phase 3, we had all the advisors down by the time Kael'Thas spawned. (Previously Sanguinar would die just before phase 4 started, and Capernian would still be at around half health).
I'm pretty optimistic that we should be able to kill him tonight. The changes improved what was already a fun and unique fight.
