Cataclysm Beta - Build 13066 (Codename Bubbles)
A new beta build should hit the servers pretty soon, see the changes below.


Warlock Tier 11
The model of the Warlock's set is now available. I'm not really sure how the gloves are supposed to look, I'm just guessing and they either look like the screenshots below, or like that.

    Why would it? We knew about Cataclysm last year, before the 5th anniversary, and it didn't come out. More than likely it will just be added during a Tuesday maintenance or a patch, regardless of whether we're playing Cataclysm then or not.

    No, it isn't. A flyover version of the instance is being added, much like what several outside instances already have.
