Thread: Patch 3.3.3 - PTR Build 11643

Patch 3.3.3 - PTR Build 11643
A new build has been deployed on test realms. So far it doesn't look like there are a lot of changes out there but stay tuned, test realms can be full of surprises!

Pets / Mounts
Lil' XT finally got its own model, the name is VERY similar to Lil' K.T. and it wouldn't be surprising to see this pet appear on the Blizzard Store at some point.

On a sidenote, both Celestial Steed and X-53 Touring Rocket got their own spell and are confirmed to be 310% flying mount.

Spell Comparison
These changes are generated by comparing the data available in the client, keep in mind that they could be temporary (or just wrong) if they are not in the official notes.

Technical

• Frame Rate: A maximum capacity of 200 frames per second has been added. To disable the frame rate limit, the following line should be added to the Config.wtf file: SET maxFPS "0".

Interesting dark pact change? I don't really get why though.

I'm happy to see that priests got what they wanted.

I hope lil XT talks occasionally so that everyone in dalaran can get annoyed.

Take for instance the Blood Council. Now, I'm not a Warlock myself, but we generally have our Warlock send his Imp after one Kinetic Bomb, so we don't have to worry about that one.

Now, if the Warlock is running out of mana, he would then have to run aaaall the way to the imp to get mana, or Life Tap, if he was across the room. Bad things happen.

Just an example though.



Love the lil' XT, and glad to see Discipline Priests won't be left out, or my Sacred Shield \o/

finally they buff the icc buff even more...

lil XT is gonna be gonig all like "NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO" in a even HIGHER pitched voice

Why are they even bothering with buffing glyphs no one uses. And by no one I mean NO ONE AT ALL…

So they can increase the range on a dark pact so that GOD FORBID warlocks have to move within 30 yards of melee, yet they cant increase the range of Searing totem above 20 yards

Not really a buff so much as a correction that allows Disc. Preists to gain the 5% advantage.
