New Vehicle Combat Unitframe & Action Bar

Among the graphical upgrades introduced by the latest build (8714), we forgot to mention the new vehicle combat uniframe/action bar (click on pic below). In case you wonder what kind of vehicle The Etymidian is, it's a colossal weapon created by the titans and used in Freya questline that you can ride in The Avalanche (Sholazar Basin subzone) to destroy the Scourge Minions and their leaders (elites 80+).

Official talent calculator updated - Warlock Changes

The official talent calculator has been updated with new warlock changes. We compared Wowhead talent calculator (build 8714) with the official talent calculator (build ????).

Affliction

• Curse of Exhaustion range increased from 30 to 36 yards.
• Haunt casting time decreased to 1.5 sec (was 2 sec).

Demonology

• Unholy Power: Soul Link requirement removed.
• Demonic Empathy: When you or your pet is critically hit, the other has a 33/66/100% chance to have their casting or attack speed increased by 30% for 8 sec.
• Metamorphosis cooldown increased from 3 min to 5 minutes. (New description: You transform into a Demon, with full health and mana. While in Demon Form, you gain Demonic abilities and your armor is increased to 360%, but your pet is no longer summoned. When leaving Demon Form, your health and mana is returned back to normal and your pet is re-summoned. Lasts 45 sec.)

Destruction

WotLK Beta - Quest Maps

Beta tester Jaiom uploaded his latest work to the gallery, you might want to bookmark the following quest maps for a later use.




WotLK Beta - Underwater Breath lenght increased

Here is a change not mentioned in the official patch notes, you know that on TBC servers you cannot stay under water more than 1 minute before taking drowning damage (unless you are undead - 3 min racial), well on beta servers the underwater breath lenght was increased from 1 minute to 3 minutes for all races but undead (they can stay under water for 9 minutes now). The reason to that change could be that WotLK has more underwater quests than TBC. Tigole just confirmed they are experimenting with increased breath duration underwater.

Quote from: Tigole (Source)

We are experimenting with increased breath duration underwater. Currently, in the beta, most players can stay under for three times as long. Forsaken can stay under 10 times as long as an old, normal character (used to be 4).
