Update - Patch Notes now available. Also added a few mages undocumented changes from yesterday.

Patch 3.0.8a on live servers
Patch 3.0.8a is being deployed on live servers, for the moment it looks like it's only here to fix most of the bugs mentionned earlier and a few other things.

Quote from Blizzard staff
Mage (Skills List / Talent + Glyph Calc.)
Arcane Spec changes
It looks like the mage was hotfixed yesterday to make a few changes to the Arcane tree
  • The Arcane Blast buff is now instantly consumed by Arcane Missile to prevent people from clipping their cast to get a boosted Arcane Barrage too.
  • The Glyph of Arcane Blast now gives 3% additional damage and doesn't work on Arcane Missiles anymore.

Death Knight (Skills List / Talent + Glyph Calc.)
Howling Blast 5 seconds cooldown not displayed on tooltip
Assuming nothing comes up at the last minute, this should be fixed tomorrow (Tue, Jan 27). (Source)

Hunter (Skills List / Talent + Glyph Calc.)
Hunter Aspects still behaving as if they still have a GCD
Assuming nothing comes up at the last minute, this should be fixed tomorrow (Tue, Jan 27). (Source)

Warlock (Skills List / Talent + Glyph Calc.)
Ritual of Summoning on a 2 minutes cooldown
Assuming nothing comes up at the last minute, this should be fixed tomorrow (Tue, Jan 27). (Source)

I'll never understand why they do Forum Maintenance on Tuesdays.

If by faster you mean taking servers down for the day for a few cosmetics and some issues they should have worked out before launching to being with [wintergrasp crashes, client crashing bugs etc]. World of 'Down All Tuesday' if you must. ;P - Will admit, I like the new incarnation of Frost Presence though. After 1 week, it's hot.

Agreed on that point. It's true but still good that they fix it "fast" (For blizzard standards) :p

Are warlocks getting the "summon stone" in this patch as well?

To avoid massive trolling while the servers are off.

First, and interesting fixes. It seems that they are getting faster with the smaller patches and not waiting for the bigger patches anymore Smiley

First what? First fix? Or are you trying to be lame and post what everybody else can already see (since it appears at the top?)

On topic: Lets hope summoning is fixed like the say and hopefully they wont break a lot of things now the game is finally stable again (at least for our battle group).

wasn't meant lame, but more as a joke/boredom at work Smiley

And summoning should be fixed Sad Now all we need is more raiding warlocks on my server

God damn I'm convinecd Samwise's group smokes a big bag of crack when it comes time to design hunter tier sets.   I mean this as a compliment as well as a critique.     They always get some really bold, bizarre head and shoulders.. for like 4 tiers now Cheesy

That's the whole point, even if the risk is minor, downloading from MMO-Champion will never be as safe as the Blizzard Downloader.

the Blizzard Downloader if you have the choice


That sounds like "downloading a pirated copy of a videogame is illegal -> click here to download now".

Sometimes people can't use the Blizzard downloader because of their Firewall, but are we seriously going to argue about that? ^^

Don't let people hate on you, B.  While I never need more than the downloader, I know of folks who can't access bittorrent/etc and need links like this.   Thank you for helping out.
