    • Most of the major changes to the discipline tree shouldn't happen before WotLK (Source)
    2.3 Patch testing
    • The arena season state is not persisting after a server reset, this is why the arena vendors keep disappearing. Also, the new arena UI is not displaying when Season 3 starts so you can not see your personal rating. Both of these issues will be fixed in an upcoming PTR build. (Source)
    Headless Horseman
    • All the epic loot from the Headless Horseman is permanent, except the mounts. (Source)
    • The broom mount only have a 14 days duration to let people get it without having to worry about keeping it as a special rare mount, this is also why the droprate is so high. (Source)
    Interface
    Wrath of the Lich King
    • We're mostly seeing screenshots of landscape because it's a good way to show the variety and feel of the new zones. (Source)
    Wrath of the Lich King
    Two new screenshots again.


    Patch 2.3 Changes
    The [iurl=http://www.mmo-champion.com/index.php?topic=1629.0][b]2.3 Changes post[/iurl] has been slightly updated.

    • The screenshots of Zul'aman plate armor are available again (was changed to wowhead links at some point)
    • The new crafts have (finally) been updated with the new leatherworking ammo pouchs/quivers.
    • Added the [item=34129] screenshot to the new mounts, also added all the item links.

    Also, an undocumented (well, technically it is, but not specifically) rogue change, the mace specialization +mace bonus has been changed to increased critical damage.

    with 5/5 on mace spec,
    It Give you 6% to stun for 3 sec (Not 5% as we can think )
    and increase crit damage with mace by 5%.

    It's the last point who'll give you 2% more of stun

    IMO, with this rogue change they want to boost rogues in the arena again by "killing" (replacing) a PvE talent...
    Let's see how PvE-rogues respond to this.

    It's just stupid. If you compare the iceblock of a mage with something similar like the palabubble you'll see that there are some differents who really make the iceblock more inefficient than a bubble.
    In bubble:
    - you can still cast
    - you can still move
    - BUT you have a CD
    - It's dispellable

    In iceblock:
    - you can't cast
    - you can't move
    - CD is getting higher and higher each patch, why even skill CD reset?
    - It's dispellable (as far as I know)

    ... iceblock is fine, l2patch blizz.

    Edit: Fixed my text :P

    What? Maces aren't exactly for PVE, and have never been.

    I just love the new mace speciliazation but i would like to see something new with dagger and fist speciliazation. I think with the new mace speciliazation none will ever have fists. And I just love the look of them

    I can only imagine the threads in the official forums... mages will qq into the sky. With quite some reason on this one. Saying a player is not supposed to use a skill twice against the same opponent is a bit ridiculous, particularly a purely defensive skill, regardless on whether its current CD was OP or not.

    Well, Blizzard shooting themselves in the foot as usual. Out of the top of my mind I can't remember a company with such "deathwish" tendency.

    Another change coming for shapeshifting classes (e.g. Druids, Shadowpriests,...)
