    Patch 3.0.8a on live servers

    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.

    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

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

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

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

    To avoid massive trolling while the servers are off.

    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).

    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

    Seriously, imagine you're 5 years old, playing with Legos in your room, and dad comes in and slaps you around a little bit and tells you that you're grounded. What do you learn from the experience? Just that dad is an asshole.

    Don't be an asshole, dad.

    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? ^^

    This is "teh intarwebs", sadly we can argue about anything/everything.

    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.

    My post got removed, but the quote lives on.

    Re: Patch 3.0.8a on live servers

    As for 3rd party patch mirrors:
    Download the patch from the 3rd party site and place it in same folder as wow
    run wow - it should download the downloader for the patch
    the downloader will now verify the authenticity of the patch you downloaded
    If the patch from the 3rd party site was valid, it will start patching, if not the blizzard downloader will try to fix it and download the broken pieces.

    Edit:
    And as for patches for Windows - check if the digital signature for the file is OK.
