New Expansion Not Being Announced This Weekend
Town Hall Heroes Ep. 112, Into the Nexus #116- "Get Your Gul'dan"Legion - Havoc Demon Hunter and Frost Death Knight Spell Animations
With the pre-expansion patch approaching and new spell animations mostly finalized, we are going back and finishing up our series of previews.
Preview: Wardrobe Updates
The World of Warcraft: Legion pre-expansion patch is coming soon, and that means a great number of changes and improvements to the game are on their way. We’ve recently outlined several reasons to get ready for it all here and here.
Today, we’re opening up the walk-in closet of wardrobe updates and looking around at what’s in store for your character’s looks.
Bound to Look Good
With the Legion pre-expansion patch, every piece of gear that is bound to your character permanently unlocks that item’s appearance for you. Even if you sell or destroy the item, you’ll always be able to look through the new Appearances tab in the Collections window to find its look.
There are several ways to look through all of the Appearances—take note of the icons across the top of the window, and select any of them to narrow the displayed looks. As you page through the looks you’ve unlocked, you’ll also see looks that you haven’t unlocked yet with a grey frame around them. Right-click on any look that you have unlocked to set it as a favorite, which promotes it to the first page of your collection.
Above the item-type icons, there’s a handy search field.
Type anything you like in the search field to filter the items displayed even further.
Trying Things On
To put change how you look, you’ll need to visit a Transmogrification vendor. You’ll notice that the Transmogrification vendor’s interface has been completely updated with a new look and new features.
Now, when you select a gear slot, you’ll see a preview of all of the different looking gear that your character can apply to the look of that slot. Go through as many as you like, then select ‘Apply’, and you’re done. You can save different looks as ‘Outfits’, so you can return later and change into a different Outfit anytime. Save a different Outfit for each of your different specializations, and when you change specs, your Outfit will automatically change, too!
A Beautifully Big Adventure
Now that you know how you want to look, don’t forget that the Adventure Journal is there for you. The Loot tab in the Adventure Journal is the place to look for full sets of gear, or amazing Legendary items, and where to find them.
Don’t overlook the buttons on the top right of the Loot tab. You can click on them and then drop down to filter the item sets by specialization, and the Legendary items by class, specialization, and slot. Hold down the control key and click on each of the parts of an item set to open a Dressing Room window and see how you’ll look once you’ve collected that set.
As you mouseover each item, a message at the bottom of that item’s tooltip will tell you whether you’ve collected it yet. From anywhere in the Adventure Guide, you can type the name of a piece of gear into the search bar, and you’ll be taken right to the page of the guide for the Dungeon and Boss that drops that item.
It feels good to look good.

But some of us would like to know what is happening, when it happens. We don't see template changes, we don't see ability changes.
Things like the interrupt reduction for shadow and shaman are invisible and unkown to any player that hasn't read the forum post back in alpha and probably wonders why interrupts last shorter on these specs. And this is just an example. There is no UI element or passive buff or anything. It is invisible.
I know this is still beta but are there any plans to make these things more visible?
I'm preparing a very large post for these forums on this issue. Stay tuned. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
Stealth Breaking
We've added a combat log line when Stealth breaks, and it should show what spell or ability caused Stealth to be removed. If you run into abilities that you feel shouldn't break Stealth and do, please create a bug report with the ability.
This is considered an 'Aura Dispel' in the combat log filter settings, so the easiest way to look for these is to create a new filter, and only have 'Done To: Me', and 'Aura' 'Dispels' selected.
...and yes, keep your eyes open for Demon Hunters (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

A recent hotfix should have made Fel Eruption's damage bonus against stun-immune targets work correctly. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
Shaman (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator)
Restoration Shaman -- Legion Beta Feedback
Tidal Pools targeting should be fixed on beta. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
