New Icons
Not all of these are really new, these are just all of the icons included in the patch.

[moveth]

Probably one of the last real "build" we'll see.

[Lora]

Hooray for having my drakes account wide.

[frequency]

Hooray for having my drakes account wide.

Read again, the FoS Achievement is no longer account wide nothing about the drake

[Holy]

The removal of master riding from What a long, strange trip it's been is disappointing... if not expected.

[brothernads]

No more master riding rewarded from the Long Strange Trip achievement? Hmm...

[Ryme]

Good to see the PvP mounts BoA as they rightfully should be.

Re-read, I guess they're still hard balling on that one then.

[Zumacrume]

No more master riding from the violet proto-drake! gasp!

Also, I hope they fix the elevator problem with this build...having to run to Razor Hill to take the flight path to the top of Orgrimmar to take a blimp somewhere was a tad annoying for us sub-level 20 on the beta... (working on my Monk leveling strategy!)

[Trollhammer]

Hooray for having my drakes account wide.

But they aren't.. Nor should they be.

[blakex]

Good to see the PvP mounts BoA as they rightfully should be.

The red text is what was removed - they are not account wide - nor is the Feat of Strength account wide any more.

[pvrwizard]

No more master riding from the violet proto-drake! gasp!

Also, I hope they fix the elevator problem with this build...having to run to Razor Hill to take the flight path to the top of Orgrimmar to take a blimp somewhere was a tad annoying for us sub-level 20 on the beta... (working on my Monk leveling strategy!)

The acheivement itself never awarded master riding. Mounting the drake for the first time did if you already had 280%.

[TheMeII]

Hooray for having my drakes account wide.

They Removed the Feats of Strengths from being account wide since the drakes have been removed from account wide list a long time a go.

[Zumacrume]

The acheivement itself never awarded master riding. Mounting the drake for the first time did if you already had 280%.

Hmm, that's true - Think they're just cleaning up the wording on the achievement but still granting master riding upon mounting the purple proto-drake?

[everydaygamer]

hopefully they fix the alliance starting quest for pandaria in this build.

[Matutin]

Yet another post without any rogue love....

[Keile]

Is it just me or...are most of those "new" icons ones that have been in the game for years?

[pvrwizard]

hopefully they fix the alliance starting quest for pandaria in this build.

I hope so as i am literally 2 small acheivements away this year.. I have one to finish at Brewfest and One to finish at Winterveil.

[resare]

Is it just me or...are most of those "new" icons ones that have been in the game for years?

Yep, I don't see anything new about them

[Salaction160]

Are you kidding me? Up to 2 Targets to spread my D0Ts as Fire? Them screw that specc if that goes live, so /yawn. Already became lame with having Inferno Blast in the rotation, popping it everytime you had 1 crit. Shit Gameplay. Blergh.

[Gallahadd]

Am I being dense or has way of the monk not changed :P they've just made the tooltip longer

also nice change on HoTR, I never understood why it wasn't % weapon based anyway.
