Updates19:10 CET - Black Arrow isn't intended to be in game for hunters. 06:10 CET - Alextrasza the Life-Binder also got a new model in her human form. 06:00 CET - Varimathras got a shiny new model. 02:40 CET - Added Glyphs changes in class changes. 02:25 CET - Added a very important about honor reset in WotLK at the top of the page. 02:15 CET - Skills and Talents list are now up to date. 02:00 CET - Added Death Knight changes, also a new spell for hunters it seems. No Honor reset at the release of WotLKWe had hoped that the introduction of some new Honor rewards in the upcoming patch would give players a great opportunity to spend any of their remaining Honor. However, many players would still be surprised by an Honor and token reset as it isn’t something we’ve done in the past. As such, we've decided to not reset Honor or tokens upon the release of Wrath of the Lich King. Players who save their Honor will be able to spend it on level 80 rewards, although those rewards will be significantly more expensive than their level 70 counterparts. The talent calculator has been updated to build 9014. Class Skills and Talents list - Build 9014The lists of all skills and talents for each class have been updated.

Infusion of the Light now reduces the cast time of your next Holy Light spell by 0.5/1sec. (Down from 1.25/2.5 sec)
So long to what was quite possibly the only really fun change to the Paladin's Holy tree. Its back to standing still and spamming Flash of Light again, mobility is gone. I was even reserving judgement on the way holy paladin survivability for PvP was totally gutted, bubble being penetrated by every second class, blessing of sacrifice totally nerfed, rank1 consecration gone. It made some sense to give up survivability in PvP for mobility but now that the mobility is gone there isn't much left. Curse of Doom now summons a Doomguard only if the target yields experience or honor.
Lol, because spending an hour killing lvl 5 wolves in Dun Morogh to try to proc a Doomguard was overpowered. |

Sad to see the Maelstrom Weapon nerf, but to be honest it was damn overpowered. Once you had decent gear, you could pretty much keep a permanent +9% crit up, which pretty much meant it was self-sustainable.

Is this the new build that Blizzard will put all of the Glyphs on a vendor for testing? I'm interested in seeing these new druid forms from the glyphs.
Anyone know?

I'm concerned with mages now. They lost a big amount of burst from deep freeze, and fire and arcane are still aren't as competitive as other classes in PvE terms.

Usable in bg's now..?
I can't see any purpose whatsoever to the spell. In BGs the odds of a player surviving for 1 minute while curse of doom ticks away and still being within range of the warlock when he does die so they can enslave the thing are miniscule. In PvE, grinding normal mobs they won't take a minute to die making curse of doom a waste of time, on boss fights the odds of the curse of doom delivering the killing blow are also remote, nevermind the very crappy proc chance if it does happen to do the killing blow. The only time most warlocks even used the spell trying to summon was when somebody asked them to summon a doomguard just to see and they have prevented it. The spell used be able to proc from mobs that gave no experience or honor, now that is removed. Not really worth complaining though, it's just funny that they nerf that side affect in a manner that pretty much prevents the only actual use it ever had even though that use was just a gimmick to begin with. |

If Blizzard ever announced that they were going to reduce the monthly subscription cost, I swear half of y'all would complain "It's not low enough." and the other half will complain "The lower cost will let more noobs in."

Whine whine whine, make sure you're up to EVERY updates to the ever changing beta. Here are the last TWO changes made to Curse of Doom: Curse of Doom now summons a Doomguard only if the target yields experience or honor.
( Source) Curse of Doom now gives 100% chance to spawn a doomguard if the target dies to curse of doom. Other than that, check the new tooltip: Curses the target with impending doom, causing 7300 Shadow damage after 1 min. If the target yields experience or honor when it dies from this damage, a Doomguard will be summoned. Cannot be cast on players. So this change is a good one. Warlocks can't go around, throw CoD on a critter and see a Doomguard spawn 1min after. |
