Argent Tournament

• Players who are Champions of Exodar should now display the appropriate Exodar banner.

Children's Week

• If a player loses their Orphan Whistle at any time during the in-game Children's Week event they can speak to a Matron in cities to receive a replacement.

Ulduar

• Mimiron should no longer continue to cast Heat Wave after phase 2 is completed.
• The Pollinate spell cast by the Forest Swarmer inside of the Conservatory of Life in Ulduar should no longer be spell stealable.
• The NPCs in the Hodir encounter will now cast Storm Power and Toasty Fire more quickly after being freed from Flash Freeze at the start of the encounter. Toasty Fire will also be cast more consistently throughout the fight.

Priest

• Mana Burn has been reduced to 10% mana burned (up to a maximum of 20% of the Priests mana), down from 13% (max 26%).
• Mana Burn now causes Fear, Hex and Psychic Scream to break early when used.

Rogue

• Blind (Rogue) is now in the same diminishing returns category as Fear effects, but no longer shares diminishing returns with Cyclone (Druid).

Warlock

• The Warlock ability Death Coil now heals you for 300% of the damage done, up from 100%.
• The Warlock ability Nether Protection will reduce spell damage by 30% instead of 60%.

PTR Patch 3.1.2 - Argent Tournament Mounts
The official screenshots were nice but I did a few more of them.

100 Champion Seals Mounts (New Models)
Alliance

Horde


5 Champion Seals + 500 Gold Mounts (Old Models)
Alliance

Horde

How are those new models? They are just the old models with new textures.

new mount skins suck BALLZ. why did they give us the blue undead war hourse? i want the white one. the new orc wolf sucks too the old raptor is better colored.

the only modle that needed to be changed was the human pally mount. that was incredibly disrespectful to all those pallys that worked SO hard on that mount only for it to be given to some crack noob gnome player.

I cant actually believe that those are the new mounts. I was highly looking forward to some cool and innovative (even if just small things) additions to the mounts...They are just recolored...with perhaps a couple new textures across the board. The most hilarious part is that half of the new ones look worse than the original. What was the point of this even?

I can see why they would put it on DR with psychic scream but all fear effects? Thats just terrible and totally kills my comp while leaving mage/rogue (as dual dps) untouched.

FIX: Make blind share DRs with Psychic Scream ONLY and still share DRs with cyclone.

The current way its changed is just terrible. ToL druid will totally OWN the way priest+rogue is owning atm and warlock + rogue comps will no longer work :/

and you think lock + rogue isnt a little bit too overpowered? Its worse than mage\rogue.

Aff lock is fine - the spec that uses fear. Destro is being nerfed afaik.

I'm not a lock, priest, rogue, or mage and that blatant nerf to priest/rogue is just bullshit. There are so many ways they could have handled that. I have never seen blizzard nerf key class abilities based on who they play with. Rogue, lock, or priest arent overpowered at all. Just because they choose to play with a certain class and have a better matchup with that one and not another doesnt make a comp overpowered, it makes it a smart matchup. Thats just fucking stupid all the way around. Blizzard apparently is full of fuckups. Where were the nerfs last season to all the dk/pally/hunter lineups? With this post Blizzard is saying to our faces that Rogues and Druids need to play together. Wow Blizzard, just wow.

Well apparently last season they were too busy with Ulduar and this season they have nothing better to do than screw a bunch of rogue comps over badly.

I lol'd. Obviously the dk/pally/hunter lineups didn't need nerfs because they were just choosing the best matchup. Guess Blizzard changed their minds this season.

but wtf i want the horde blood elf mount the bird... -.-' ( im ally ) we just get old one that are recolored seriously..

ouch. priest rogue nerfs =P

Sry, but these mounts are lame as hell. Only people this really benefits are the collectors and those trying to get the mount achievement. What happened to this 'pimp my mount' thing I read about? I would think it would save Blizzard time from having to do all that time consuming re-skinning *photoshop 5 seconds cough* and allow players to personalize mounts how they see fit...

Well, at least they're paying more attention to PvP. Whether that's a good or bad thing, I don't know.

I like that 300% healing on Deathcoil though. Brings it more in line with it's 2 minute cooldown.

On mounts, idk, I can't let go of my faithful ol' frostwolf. He mah budday! They ought to add some other bonus to having a unique mount though (if they haven't already). Maybe a pumpkin mount that does AoE pumpkin damage with it's Pumpkin Pie Explosion. Just me daydreaming again, though.

pwnd@priestrogue.com Finally blizzard cares about their pvp game and hopefully this will put the combo more in line with a normal setup instead of a 30% setup

Cyclone-> cyclone-> cyclone-> blind-> vanish to sap-> cyclone-> cyclone-> cyclone-> bash
