Spell haste and Armor Penetration will now display on the character sheet. (Armor Penetration displays in the hit rating section). Spell Penetration now displays under the spell hit section.

From the first 2.4 Notes.

Ummm.. are you sure the Druid healing set is for Healing Touch? I haven't had a chance to get on the PTR yet today, but Nethaera posted:

Thanks for the feedback. The Restoration 4-piece Gladiator set bonus has been changed in the next PTR build. It is now the old Stormrage set-bonus, which is -.2 seconds off Regrowth. In addition, the speed bonus to Cheetah will remain on the Feral 4-piece Gladiator set bonus.

From patch notes:
The casting bar will now display properly when casting Blizzard (mage) or Rain of Fire (warlock) with spell haste.

Hired!

A lot of Trolls talking about lock mana drain, if u r a lock, with dots, fear and LIFE TAP, why in the F@CK r u going to mana drain in PvP?

Tell me Troll... I doubt u ever played a lock on ur life.

Maybe in PvE i'm going to use mana Drain... Better drain life and Tap than mana drain.

Stop trolling plz. Go play.

Btw, Windcape u r a master troll. Congratz.

It appears Badge of justice will also drop from 25 man bosses:

Hunter: Stings the target, draining 1368 mana over 8 sec. 15s CD
Wlock: 200 x5 sec channeled

The hunter being instant, i would still argue is better than a channeled spell.

The change just brings the 3 diffrent manadrains closer in perfomance.

Sure in the worst case scenario now the wlock is better off, if the person being drained is in LOS the whole duration. In most cases it evens out alot more tbh.

warlock-always drain if gets out of range/vision some mana ticks will drain(if got dispelled can be count as a extra tick)
priest- if get out of range/vision is cancelled(2 secs if is improved)
hunter- if u play against druids pallys or shamans is dispelled really fast, dwarfs can remove it one time
personally i think isnt a nerf to locks 50% increase - 20% reduced by resilence gear = 30% more than live servers

Drain Mana is a primary Warlock spell in arena, Warlock is a primary member of drain teams in 5v5..... How can people be so vapid about this stuff at this point?

Also, Drain Mana was the best drain then, it's the best drain now by an absurd amount. No cooldown, ignores LOS. Mana Burn can be LOS'd with ease, Viper can be easily cleansed and has a lengthy cooldown.

The Drain Mana buff was absurd, there's no logic for it whatsoever outside of favoritism, period. If they made LOS clip it then added the buff, I could understnad, but this is just bullshit, really.

Warlocks get off scott free from the Drain nerf, Priests have to spend over half of what the actually burn burns now, and Hunters basically just got hit by a sledge hammer.

A new quest hub just opened on the island.

You can trade in Tier 4 for Gladiator Season 1 and Tier 5/6 for Gladiator Season 2 gear.

In addition all PvP gear is now purchasable with badges of justice.
