Patch 3.0.8 - More changes!A few additional changes from the 3.0.8 PTRs ReputationYou can now get full reputation gains from grey monsters, for exemple you will get 20 Reputation points for killing normal monsters while grinding your Timbermaw Hold reputation. Item changesI think I newsed a few of them in previous news, but most of them should be new. Blue posts Death Knight ( Skills List / Talent + Glyph Calc.) Tanking as frostWe adjusted Frost Presence to make up for the nerfs to Icebound Fortitude, Bone Shield and the change to bonus armor from jewelry etc. (Most raiding DK tanks were Unholy at the time, though they have begun to branch out a little.) Both of those abilities are intended to be more like Shield Block or Last Stand, not something that is up all the time like Frost Presence itself. In most of the estimates I have seen that figure this is a huge nerf use pretty unrealistic estimates of how much Bone Shield is up (thinking their avoidance can make up for the charges). But we can check out numbers again. ( Source) Cooldown removed on Howling Blast in the latest PTR patchIt is an intended change. We're going to try it without a cooldown. ( Source)  Druid ( Skills List / Talent + Glyph Calc.) Allow Wild Growth to count towards Nourish bonusYeah, there is a good chance we'll do this. ( Source)  Hunter ( Skills List / Talent + Glyph Calc.) Better scaling on hunter's pets to compensate the recent nerfs?That scaling idea is interesting. We'll talk about it some more. ( Source) This issue is resolved according to Blizzard, but a lot of players are still experiencing problems. If you're one of them you might want to check the original post. Update: We have received confirmation that the issues affecting Comcast player's connectivity to World of Warcraft are now resolved. If you are still having trouble playing World of Warcraft and are Comcast user, please visit our technical support forums and provide the information instructed in the appropriate Comcast sticky thread so that we can work to resolve any issues that may be outstanding.
We have been in communication with Comcast and several other internet backbone and service providers in efforts to isolate and bring to resolution the connectivity issues that have impacted the ability for some Comcast players to play World of Warcraft. As of this morning a 3rd party network who resides between Blizzard's network and Comcast's network informed us that they were experiencing an issue which may be the cause of problems that Comcast players have been experiencing.
We remain in contact with this provider and at this time do not have an ETA but this issue is being looked into by all parties involved. We will continue provide updates as they become available. is out.

They now gives "Whenever you cast Chains of Ice, the Frost Rune used becomes a Death Rune when it activates".
Awesome, i was just wondering like how can we get death knights to spam chains of ice even more? Now we have our answer!

Sigh @ the change to Spiked Titansteel Helm. I liked the pure stats which could affected by Kings, but now it's crit rating, less strength and a blue socket. I'll have to gem a +16 str just to get that back.

seems like you dont know to much about DKs. since this in now way will make dks able to spam chains of ice MORE. either it will be as much as now, or less since they will use the death rune for something else. |

Hunter:
Better scaling on hunter's pets to compensate the recent nerfs?
That scaling idea is interesting. We'll talk about it some more. Your interpretation is off. The problem with pets is they scale too well -- raid-buffed, pets do amazing damage (while without buffs they can't hold aggro over their hunter). An example of how broken pet scaling is: Blessing of Might on a pet provides a bigger raid DPS increase than BoM on a Rogue. The theory put forth by players is that if pets scaled more appropriately (in line with their hunter, for instance), they could be both useful solo/5manning and not overpowered in a full-raid-buff situation. |

So now that the BS tanking helm got buffed, will the engineering tanking goggles get buffed as well or do we just get shafted as usual?

They'll probably do like they did last time and let you craft a better pair using the original goggles as one of the mats. |
