Patch 4.1 on PTR - Zul'aman and Zul'gurub are back!
Patch 4.1 is hitting the PTRs and is full of surprises!
Originally Posted by Blizzard (Blue Tracker)
That's right, folks. Development on the first major content patch for World of Warcraft: Cataclysm is well underway! We're currently making preparations to bring some of the initial content and updates we've been working on for this patch to the Public Test Realms. So you ask, "what will we find in the first 4.1 test client?" (You did ask that, right?) Well, let me tell you!

The Gurubashi Tribe Persists

Originally a 20-player dungeon released in patch 1.7, Zul'Gurub will once again open its gates, featuring updated lore, all-new encounters, achievements, and improved loot! Zul'Gurub is now a level-85 five-player Heroic difficulty dungeon. To provide a new tier above the current Cataclysm dungeons, players can expect to find epic-quality item level 353 loot. The minimum average item level to enter this Heroic dungeon is 346.

The Return of Zul'Aman

Ever a player favorite, the level-70 ten-player dungeon of Zul'Aman is being reintroduced as a level-85 Heroic five-player dungeon. Zul'Aman will join Zul'Gurub in a new Dungeon Finder tier of Heroic dungeons, providing epic-quality item level 353 loot. The minimum average item level to enter this Heroic dungeon is also 346. While Zul'Aman will be more of a throwback to the original dungeon featuring many of the same encounters, players can expect to find some updated gameplay mechanics, as well as new environment textures and lighting.

With the Zuls returning, you may be wondering about the unique mounts that were once contained therein. We're pleased to announce that new versions of the rare raptor, tiger, and bear mounts will be available, while the old versions of these mounts will remain unique to those who already have them. We'll reveal more about how these updated mounts can be obtained in the future.

Class Design
While we do intend to make fewer balance changes in patch 4.1, you can still expect to find a fair number of updates. Below are just a few we'd like to share with you right now. Keep in mind these changes don't encompass the entirety of the 4.1 changes, nor do the initial Public Test Realm patch notes.

To start, we want to do a better job of balancing the AoE power of the different damage-dealing specs. You can expect to see some changes to this end made throughout the testing process.

Inner Rage is now available at level 56. It was intended to solve an excess rage problem that largely isn’t affecting warriors anymore. We’ve added a replacement ability for warriors at level 83: Rallying Cry.

Colossus Smash now ignores 70% of an opponent's armor, down from 100%. We are compensating Fury and Arms warriors by increasing the damage of other attacks.

Word of Glory: We want Retribution and Protection paladins to have reasonable healing on themselves or others, but we know paladins sometimes feel like they can’t use their Holy Power on anything but their heals in some situations. We’d rather these two specs spend most of their Holy Power on damage-dealing abilities, with occasional healing.

More To Come

We're still hard at work on additional features, balance updates, and bug fixes for patch 4.1. We look forward to sharing more information with you in the days and weeks ahead as we release new content on the Public Test Realms. Until then, have a look at the patch notes we've prepared thus far. As always, these notes are not final and will continue to change as we go through the iterative development and testing processes.

  • Fire Nova has been redesigned and decoupled from shaman Fire totems. Instead, it now pulses that same area-of-effect from each target that is afflicted by the shaman's own Flame Shock debuff.

Guilds
  • The Guild Perk, Cash Flow, no longer prints out text to the Chat Log. Instead, the daily amount deposited is shown in the Guild Vault Money Log. In addition, players can view the weekly contribution in a new window at the bottom of the Money Log.
  • We have added two new custom guild tabards as Guild Rewards. The tabards are account bound and offer a bonus to gaining guild reputation.

Races
  • The gnomish racial ability, Escape Artist, is no longer affected by the global cooldowns triggered by other abilities.

Zul'aman and Zul'gurub are back!
Tons of changes indicate that Zul'aman and Zul'gurub are back as 5-man instances! I couldn't find anything about the Abyssal Maw dungeon mentioned briefly during Blizzcon for the moment, but Firelands seems there too.

This does make Therazane make more sense now and implys that all the Elemental Lords are infact Humanoid in form (shes no longer weird, well she is but still). Mechanically its exciting as a fight thinking about the possibilities and lore wise its interesting too, meaning we havent seen the true form of Neptulon, Al'Akir or the others if your theory is right.
    Except we did kill Al'Akir on his home plane.

    Didn't we?

    not only you have to hope it to drop after a much harder fight, than you'll have to roll on it against 4 others

    even if the mounts are different, your reasoning makes no sense
    Well, it will become harder for one person to obtain, but it doesn't matter who wins it for it to become more common. For a larger amount of mounts to drop every week from ZG New than from ZG Old at 80, you could argue that the amount of players running ZG New has to be five times greater than the amount of players who farmed the mounts in ZG Old, which in itself isn't hard to imagine. But you also have to take into account that you can run ZG New three times more often than you could run ZG Old. It's all up to RNG, but if the droprate remains the same as in ZG Old, it would statistically only reqiure 67% more people to run ZG New for there to drop a larger amount of mounts per week. I know people will say that "1% is always 1%, even if you run it 100 times!" and I agree, so I cannot stress enough that those 67% are statistical. It could very well turn out at 30% or 253%, but after an infinite amount of runs, the number would move towards 67%.

    Although all of this is redundant since the new mounts are, of course, different from the ones that dropped in ZG Old.

    It's almost like they lowered the damage because you can do other things while the damaging is ticking.

    stop being butthurt from return of ZG and ZA

    1. ZG stopped being theoretically atractive in dec 2006 and thats more than four years, practically much sooner (it's like if you claimed that you were still doing naxxramas in 3.4 ... :/ ). stop being so oldfag. and yes i raided ZG at 60 too. and know what? i'm happy to see its return

    2. ZG will have completely new encounters and trash. it is gonna be completely new dungeon but in familiar zone

    3. ZA was introduced in nov2007, wotlk was introduces in nov2008 (and at that time, as in #1, it was far from attractive dungeon, except that mount). so you want me tell me "wtf i was doing it for 2YEARS EVERY WEAK"?

    4. im in average guild, people comes and goes, we have around +/- 60 active players - newcomers and oldfags (founded 2006). two guildmates since than passed away (all young people) r.i.p., have seen so many newcomers and so many old friends leaving. now, in my guild, we are only three!!! active players that raided and progressed ZG and maybe around 10-15 that raided and progressed ZA. nowadays, most of active players are newcomers that come during expansions. and i will be happy for them to see ZA and mainly ZG. stop your faggotry

    Please drop the "So what`s next? BWL 5 man? LOL!" comments, it`s getting old fast. Apart from that I can`t avoid being excited, I have not visited these instances since they where relevant and it`s gonna be cool to run them as 5 man. Also, haters need to man up or visit Rift sites exclusively.

    ZG now a level 85 5 man? WITHOUT the original mounts dropping? Glad I quit this sh**e game back in January because Blizzard are just being lazy ass idiots re-hashing old content yet again. At least make ZG a raid if anything. And ZA becoming a 5 man is also a joke.

    Fury

    Awesome! They are redoing these instances for the MAJORITY of people, who did not manage to do them at intended level (60 and 70). That is indeed what I call caring for your customers!
