Patch 4.2 - PTR Build 14199, Patch 4.2 /roar emote sounds

New "/roar" Sounds Added in 4.2

Hey everyone!

As many of you who play goblins and worgen may have noticed, the sound usually associated with your characters' "/roar" emote was removed in patch 4.1. This was done to help resolve an issue that caused the sounds associated with the both the "/roar" and "/attack" emotes to play simultaneously whenever the "/attacktarget" command was used.

We know that many of you missed hearing your /roars, so we're happy to report that, in patch 4.2, goblin and worgen characters will once again have a sound associated with the emote. Even better, we're adding brand new sounds for "/roar" for all playable races.

We're excited to be able to introduce these new sounds and hope you have a roarin' good time with the updated emotes. (Yes, I went there. Rawr. :3)

Patch 4.2 - PTR Build 14199
A new build is being deployed on test realms.

A couple of new Firelands Raid loot and the addition of Drakehide Leg Armor and Murky's Little Soulstone used to summon Murkablo, a Diablo-themed Murloc.

Official Notes Update
Official notes have been updated and are awesome because they aren't the result of my crazy datamining, you know. Also these notes seems to be from a later build and any change listed there is most likely more up to date than datamined changes

Death Knight (Forums / Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)
Frost

Annihilation now increases Obliterate damage by 12/24/36%, down from 15/30/45%.

Glyphs

Glyph of Dark Succor has been redesigned. Rather than placing a 15% maximum health floor on Death Strike healing while in Frost or Unholy Presence, it causes the next Death Strike within 15 seconds after killing a foe that yields experience or Honor Points to heal for at least 20% of the death knight's maximum health (still requires Frost or Unholy Presence).

Druid (Forums / Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)
Feral

Marksmanship

Careful Aim now grants additional critical strike chance against targets over 90% health, up from 80% health.

Pets

8 new rare tamable beasts have been added, each of which provides a unique taming challenge. Will you be the first hunter to tame Deth'tilac, the rarest and most powerful of them all? Players will need to progress through the Hyjal Regrowth and Molten Front daily questing areas in order to unlock access to the full gamut of taming challenges.

Mage (Forums / Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)

Arcane Blast damage done has been reduced by 5%.

Priest (Forums / Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)

Arms

Two-Handed Weapon Specialization weapon damage increase has been lowered to 12%, down from 20%.

Fury

Dual Wield Specialization weapon damage increase has been lowered to 5%, down from 10%.

Items

If a player wins a Need roll under the Need Before Greed system on a Bind on Equip item, the item will become Soulbound to that player. The item will remain unbound if won via a Greed roll.

User Interface

The order in which characters are listed at the Character Selection screen can now be rearranged and saved.
Raid Profiles have been added which allow players to save the raid window user interface layout based on type of content (i.e. 10-player raids, 25-player raids, Battlegrounds, etc.) for future use.

Some are good, others are okay, and a couple could have been better but... Humans? Holy shit that's bad. Real bad. Gargle-y male, and nails on a chalkboard female...

Okay, this is just retarded.

The female Draenei and BE don't have roars, they have /attack battle cries. Unless there are two sound clips used between both /attack and /roar, that's just super lame. Also, the female Goblin sounds more like a /angry or something. The Worgen, however, sound amazing.

I watched the Alliance video first, and I recently really got into my female Draenei Paladin, and the pansy battle cry substitute for a roar felt like one of those slaps in the face you only get when you finally roll a class and watch it get nerfed into oblivion. lol

Revert the Cloak / Combat readiness or make it so you cant use them at the same time like this Recklessness and Deadly Calm can no longer be used at the same time. One cannot be used while the other is active, but using one does not put the other on its full cooldown.

If Murkablo isn't from BlizzCon I have no idea where it'd be.

Lul at the "new" /roar. Most of them sound like they're hacking up a lung. Apparently Burning Crusade females are above yelling?

Pretty obvious the expertise is going to be mastery, look at the heroic version.
