Patch Notes Updates

The difference between the new patch notes and the old ones are very small, meaning there are many things undocumented.

Quote from: Blizzard (Source)

Druid

* Challenging Roar now has a 3 minute cooldown, reduced from 10 minutes.

User Interface

* New Calendar feature: Players will be able to access the new Calendar feature by clicking on the new icon located in the top right corner of their mini map. The calendar will track in game events, allow raid scheduling, and more.
* New Vanity Pet and Mount changes: Players will now be able to access their non-combat pets and mounts by clicking on the pets tab in the Character Info panel.  These pets and mounts will be now learnable much like spells or abilities.  Once a vanity pet or mount is learned, the icon will disappear from within a player’s inventory and reappear in the appropriate tab under the pet tab under Character Info.  Say goodbye to your vanity pets and mounts taking up bag and bank slots!

[Colenzo]

A few things I noticed when I just logged on my lvl77 pala on the Beta Server, below:


New Paladin Skill at level 71, 6 second channeled cast, haste has effect on it, similar to the Muru healing trinket




Divine Plea in Action, kneeling is part of it




DK Flying Mount shame the DK riding skill learning is still bugged, you can buy it in Ebon Hold




Begins of the Barbershop





A few other things:
- Paladin Seals last TWO minutes now as well,
- Most Paladin new WOTLK talents/skills have received a new icon o/,
- Illumination in Holy tree seems bugged at the moment, every rank is 60%, so rank 1 = 60%, rank 2 = 60%, etc. Either this means 60/70/80/90/100 , or just bugged
- Death Knight eyes glow,
- Death Knights on the Character Selection screen Background have been updated to reflect a more DK theme,
- Acherus: Ebon Hold got a Flight Path now,
- It feels like the Lightning effects have been updated, but that's more a feeling than confirmed, the atmosphere in a lot of places feel so good now,
- Alchemical Blood, new passive for Alchemists: 'You receive an increased effect when you drink an elixir, potion or flask that you can make.' Not sure if it stacks with the Alchemist Stone yet.
- Loads more

Currently Death Knights riding skill is bugged at 1/150, while they can ride their own Deathcharger mount (epic ground mount), it seems impossible to level the riding skill. However I am pretty sure the mount with the NPC on it, is the flying mount.

edit: This will be hotfixed in the next 24 hours. according to Tigole @ http://forums.worldo...764165&sid=2000

[QuiSiLoR]

Hope its a bit more "Death Knight" Like... cause the one that NPC is on .... is well crap lol looks plain, boring... VERY unmenaching

[pax85]

Blah, this flying mount sucks Just a bunch of bones.

[Calzone]

Oh my, well we all knew they would nerf the hell out of palas at some point, but taking 2 of the most promising talents and making one of them completly useless, and making the other just semiuseless

Seriously, Art of War is just AWEFUL now, not even PvP palas is gonna find that a good talent... they need something to reduce the gap to an opponent, not something to break a fricking stun..........

* Divine Storm: Mana cost changed to 20% of base mana up from 12%.

Also Seals are 2 min, but judgeing is now creating GCD

The DK mount looks like the Skeletal gryphons from Karazan. Iirc you can see them while standing on the tower near Prince Malchezaar.

AoW and RV is our biggest losses as i see it.

AoW they took a talent that was great (albeit very OP in certain situations) asn made it into a useless PVP talent.

RV, well it might have been too good also, but not having it on out normal hits is a really big nerf, since around 60-65% of our damage is from white hits alone...

Divine Storm, 8% more mana is not that big of a deal since the 2 min seal part.

Forberance, dont really see a problem with this tbh, since AW doesnt cause forberance anymore.

Now, the GCD on judgement is horrible we will need to change our rotation alot, and i dont have a problem with that, but as i see it this will make us judge less than we used to since we now have "way" more attacks that generate GCD
