2.3 unofficial patch notes
Update 3 : Update 3 is here, let's hope I won't run out of colors. Huge update about dungeons quests, cenarion expedition mount is 280% speed and added a factions category.
Update : Second update is here, also added a different color for it along with the new number.

Well, they're not really patch notes, but we've seen tons of posts concerning class changes in 2.3 lately (probably because the 2.2 went live), and it's way easier to list them like patch notes instead of doing 300 blue posts report. I planned to do them myself but bumped into this post in the way, which means that these notes are heavily based on it.

Anything with a (1) next to it has been updated during the first update, (2) will be the 2nd one ... etc. New updates are posted at the top of each category to make them easier to find

Quote from Blizzard staffGeneral

• (4) Escape Artist has now a 1:45 minutes cooldown.
• (4) All Disarm immunity effects in the game were changed to 50% disarm duration reduction (non stacking).
• (3) Auction's duration have been changed to 12, 24 or 48 hours. Also deposit prices for all duration will be the same.
• (3) You can now ctrl+click recipes to get a preview of the crafted item in the dressing room.
• (3) All items of the auction house will be sorted server side, basically it means that when you'll try to sort a particular item by price, it will sort it through all page, not only the current one.
• Healing Reduction effects now affect all Drain spells and abilities (i.e. Mortal Strike will affect Drain Life) (Source)
• Level 20-60 Quest EXP has been increased, while EXP to Level has been decreased (Source)
• Guild Banks are being added to the game. (Source)
• New relics are added to support all talent trees in patch 2.3 for Shaman, Paladins and Druids. Most of the arena-system existing Relics have been renamed to create a more consistent naming convention (Source)
• +Healing bonus will give 33% of spell damage as well (1500 Healing bonus will give you 500 Spell damage) (Source)

Raids & Dungeons

• (3) New daily quests are available in the Lower City for 5 man heroic and non-heroic dungeons (Once at a time, a bit like battlegroundw weekends, each day you will get quests for a different dungeons). The following non-heroic dungeons are concerned : Shattered Halls, Steamvault, Shadow Labyrinth, Black Morass, Botanica, Mechanar, and Arcatraz. All dungeons will get quests in Heroic mode. If you're getting the non-heroic and the heroic quest on the same day for the same dungeon, you can complete both by running it in heroic mode once. Non heroic quests will reward you with a Ethereum Prison Key (various reputation), gold, and reputation with the Consortium. Heroic quests will give you 2 Badges of Justice, gold, and reputation with the Consortium.
• (2) Mobs inside Sethekk Halls will now continue to award Lower City reputation all the way into Exalted. Previously they stopped giving reputation in non-heroic mode just before players hit revered.
• (2) The number of creatures that must be killed in the Karazhan Servants Quarters area before a miniboss spawns has been reduced.
• New Title - Champion of the Naaru: Awarded to those who complete the Tempest Keep attunement quest at level 70. (Won't be available anymore at lvl 80) (Source)
• Heroic Badges drop from Zul'aman and Karazhan bosses.
• The amount of items available from the Heroic Badges vendor has been considerably increased.
• New 10-Man Raid - Zul'Aman!

Zul'aman

• Zul'Aman will be a 10-person raid zone
• Zul'Aman will be on a quicker reset than 7 days (some might call this "casual")
• Zul'Aman will be MORE difficult than Karazhan and drop better loot (some might call this hardcore)
• Zul'Aman will feature 6 bosses and it's our goal that you can kill them all in one night -- perhaps 2-3 hour clear times (some might call this casual)
• Zul'Aman will not have a key requirement. Nor will it have an attunement quest\ (some might call this casual)
• Zul'Aman will have a VERY challenging timed quest for those who choose to participate in it. This *will be* hardcore and will be very rewarding. Players do not have to engage in the timed run (very similar to the Baron run in Stratholme)
• We're tuning the first boss in Zul'Aman to require less raid coordination than some other raid bosses. He will still hit very hard so you'll need to be geared properly but it won't take 15 minutes to explain the fight. It will be a simple yet challenging fight. The other boss fights get more complex and challenging from there. If players want a basis of comparison, imagine the tuning of ZA started around Nightbane/Prince difficulty and ramped up from there.

Arena and personal rating requirements in 2.3
Finally got some values and information about the new "personal rating"
Quote from: Drysc (Source) Well to start we'll just let everyone know that the arena RATINGS (not the number of points they'll cost) required to purchase the season 3 items will be 1850 for the weapons, and 2000 for shoulders. The rating will not be required to continue using the item, only to initially purchase it.

Now, most people have expected the weapon rating since we announced it at BlizzCon, and it's a bit lower than we had initially said, but the shoulders are obviously going to raise some questions. The shoulders for any set are commonly the most visually representative, they're the most visible at any distance, and as they allow a lot of space compared to say a leg or bracer item, we commonly take them and really create something visually impressive. We want that visually impressive item to represent what a player has achieved, and so the achievement of being a contender in the arena at a higher level will be visually distinguished. The shoulders are also average in the benefit they provide, as compared to a chest or leg item for example, and without them the set bonuses can still be completed.

This raises the question of a player finding a team that is of a skill level higher than their own, and simply buying the item with points they've gained at a lower rating. To restrict this we're implementing a personal rating system in patch 2.3. This is an additional arena rating that is unique to each character for each team they belong to. This rating rises and declines using the same formula as the arena team rating, but only in games that character participates in. You'll also be able to track this rating through the PvP interface. The personal rating will be used for purchasing items that require a specific rating, and also be used to determine eligibility for the end of season rewards. So, a player will have to achieve a specific rating, and not just get into a team to see the rewards that are meant to visually distinguish the high-rated players.

Battlegrounds daily quest
We've got more details on battleground daily quests now.
Quote from: Drysc (Source) We have some new daily quests targeting a random battleground each day. You'll want to keep an eye out for Alliance Brigadier Generals and Horde Warbringers near your faction's battlemasters in all major capitals. The battleground daily quests will reward gold, experience, and honor. You'll be able to begin these as soon as you're able to enter the battlegrounds themselves. So if it's a WSG day, and you're level 11, you can take the quest.

New PvP trinkets in 2.3, PvP items available from heroic vendors
Kalgan posted (again) very interesting details about the new PvP rewards in 2.3.
Quote from: Kalgan (Source)There are a few new pvp oriented trinkets for 2.3.

All versions of the trinket have a click effect to gain 1750 max health (kind of like the old lifegiving gem effect), along with a passive effect (your choice of 47 spell damage, 40 spell crit rating, 80 attack power, 40 melee crit rating, or 88 healing).

Q: Any resilience?
A: Nope, we did the clicky max health instead of resilience in this case (some players are at or nearing the resilience cap already).

They're open to all classes. The click effects share a cooldown though, so you won't be able to stack that effect.
And now the best part.
Quote from: Kalgan (Source)Actually, they cost badges of justice, which will also be available off Kara and Zul Aman bosses.

We like to encourage players to mix it up a little to a reasonable extent. Obviously, I can't argue that you personally will have more total fun if you also do a little PvE to go along with your PvP, but we do feel that for most players it adds up to a better overall play experience.

That being said, you certainly can tank heroics in s2 gear.

2.3 Paladin changes
I'm adding this at the end because this is possibly a fake, this post is rumored to be official (and supposed to have been deleted during the weekend shortly after a blue posted it), but I'd say that the fake-o-meter is going as high as 50%. The post was popular on the general forums so ... why not moving it here after all.

• The Tier 4, Tier 5, Tier6 and all Gladiator Sets have had their Spell Damage removed and the points have been reinvested in other stats, such as Strength and Critical Strike Rating.
• Exorcism mana cost reduced.
• Holy Wrath mana cost reduced.

• Sanctified Crusader (Retribution) is renamed to Sanctified Seals, and now increases your chance to critically hit with all spells and melee attacks by 1/2/3% and reduces the chance your Seals will be dispelled by 33/66/100%.
• Two-Handed Weapon Specialization (Retribution) now also reduces threat caused while wielding a Two-Handed Weapon by 8/16/25%.
• Weapon Expertise(Protection): In addiction to current effect now Increase Paladin Total hit points by 3/6/9/12/15 per level and convert 1/2/3/4/5% of all damage received in mana.

Cenarion Expedition mount (2.3)
Quote from: Bornakk (Source)It's a hippogryph.

Engineering mount (2.3)
There won't be any droppable plans, you will just learn it from the trainer.
Quote from: Bornakk (Source)The Flying Machine design should be ready and waiting on an Engineering trainer for anybody who wants to put it all together.

Spell damage bonus on +healing (2.3)
It will affect everything, items, enchants, gems.
Quote from: Drysc (Source)It includes enchants, gems, and all other items. The only exceptions are temporary buffs, and some BC leveling greens with "of the..." stats, and some Zul'Gurub items, as there is a current limitation on how many different stats can be distributed on an item, which we're working to extend for the future.

Fury/Arms Warrior tanking changes (2.3)
I guess it will make tons of warriors (and groups) happy.
Quote from: Bornakk (Source)While we don't currently plan to add new healer options, we plan to make the Death Knight a viable tanking option and changes are coming to Warriors soon that should allow Arms/Fury warriors to be more viable tanks.

(2.3) Alterac Valley changes
We're finally getting a summary of AV changes in 2.3, hurray ?
Quote from: Nethaera (Source)
As a continuing part of our improvements, we will be implementing the following changes in the next patch.

Strategy can be an important element of any battleground. We want to emphasize this in Alterac Valley more and give players additional meaning to both defending and attacking. To push the strategic element of the battleground to the next level we have changed how players maintain their reinforcements or deprive the other team of theirs.

Each team will have a starting reinforcement count. Reinforcements can be lost in significant amounts if a tower is destroyed or if Captain Galvangar or Belinda Stonehearth is killed. For each team member death, an additional reinforcement will be lost. On the death of General Drek’Thar or Vanndar Stormpike, all reinforcements are lost and the team is defeated. At any point in time, if a team is reduced to zero reinforcements, the opposing team will win the battle. Defending your own teammates, towers, and key NPCs will be an important aspect of maintaining team resources and achieving victory in Alterac Valley.

Warmasters can be the boon or the bane of any team. They are an important element for the defense of your general or the defeat of the opposing general. Warlords and their general will be more closely linked in the next patch. Pulling one is a guarantee the other will come as well. Each team begins with four Warmasters. Destroying a tower will eliminate the associated Warmaster. Unlike the current game play, however, destroying the enemy tower will not add a Warmaster to your own side.

We will be changing the pace of the battle slightly with a reduction in the time needed to control a tower or graveyard. Where it currently takes five minutes to gain control, the time will be reduced to four minutes. The honor for capturing a tower will also be increased.

Graveyards can be an important resource for getting your teammates back into the battle more quickly. Currently, players can sometimes be sent to their starting tunnels far from the battlefront. This can often be an inconvenient location to respawn and more out of the way from the action than we would like, to correct this, players will instead respawn at a team-controlled graveyard. Should the team not have a graveyard under their control, they will respawn in the starting tunnel.

Players will only be awarded bonus honor during the battle for destroying enemy towers and slaying the enemy Captain. Once the battle is concluded, bonus honor will be awarded for intact towers, a surviving Captain, and for victory in battle. The bonus honor awarded should be similar to previous totals, but will reward players for taking more active roles in Alterac Valley toward defending or attacking key locations and NPCs.

Lastly, we are changing NPC interactions within Alterac Valley. We have reduced the number of elite NPCs in Stormpike and Frostwolf holds as well as sent all Commanders and Lieutenants out of Alterac Valley. They are currently in search of other battle opportunities. This should reduce the amount of NPCs that players will have to fight and place more focus on PvP combat over key locations on the map.

Strategy is the name of the game in Alterac Valley, and these changes will bring out the need for more teamwork and coordination from both the Horde and the Alliance as they vie for domination of this battleground.

(2.3) Tactical Mastery
So, why did they change it ?
Quote from: Salthem (Source)I look at it like this: we took a talent that was very desirable to Fury and Arms warriors, but not quite desirable enough for them to take, made it more desirable and gave it a reason to be in the Protection tree. Stance dancing always has been important to PvE and will become more so for Alliance players with the change to Fear Ward so while the talent is very useful in PvP I think it's wrong to call it a PvP talent per se. Bear in mind though that none of these changes are set in stone and we will want to see how everything pans out on the PTR before any changes go live, but personally, I think it would be nice to see a bit more experimentation and variety in PvP builds.

(2.3) Arena season 3 : Titles wiping, weapon arts, mount
3 Blue posts about the arena today.

• You will lose your old arena titles at the end of Season 2, if you had one during the season 1 but couldn't reach the same level during season 2, bye bye.
• Season 3 weapons will have new arts but they won't have new models, they're just recolored raid weapons.
• The Season 2 Armored Netherdrake will have a different color than the one from Season 1.

Quote from: DryscWe plan to use the same titles of Challenger, Rival, Duelist and Gladiator to give to players when season 2 completes. The players with titles from season 1 will have them removed and the titles will be redistributed to the people who win them at the completion of season 2. (Source)

They won't be "released" until 2.3 goes up on the PTRs. No sneak peeks for you. I can however tell you that they do in fact have new art. It's different colored raid weapons. So the weapons exist as raid weapons, but they'll have new colors. (Source)

Yes, it will be a different color Armored Nether Drake. (Source)


(2.3) Warrior changes
Less threat in berserk stance.
Quote from: Bornakk (Source)Not a lot is finalized right now, but we are currently planning to make Improved Berserker Stance provide threat reduction by 2/4/6/8/10% while in Berserker Stance.

Roflmao

Quote from: Vaneras (Source)As many of you already know we've been working on changes designed to improve various aspects of leveling for those making their way to level 60. These improvements, available in patch 2.3 will come in many forms and should significantly contribute to a more fluid and enjoyable leveling experience .

The first notable change was to simply reduce the amount of experience needed each level by approximately 15% between levels 20 and 60. Please note that when the patch is released, characters affected by this change will remain at their current level percentage. For example, if a character had exactly 50% of the current level's total experience before this change went into effect, the character would still have exactly 50% of the current level's total experience; only now fewer points would be needed to level.

Questing plays a very large role in World of Warcraft, especially while leveling and we felt that improvements to this front were necessary as well. Experience gained for completing quests (on average) between levels 30 and 60 is being increased. The increase becomes more substantial as you make your way towards 60. Additionally, many outdoor elite mobs will become non-elites, making many quests which were previously too difficult or required a group much easier and offer the same rewards (in some cases better!). A good example of this change would be Stromgarde Keep in Arathi Highlands, which will become a solo friendly environment when patch 2.3 goes live.

We've also added approximately 60 new quests in Dustwallow Marsh. This should help players who find themselves lacking quests in the 30-40 range. The Steamwheedle Cartel is building the new town of Mudsprocket in south-west Dustwallow Marsh, so you'll have to wait until construction is complete to learn more about these changes.

We're making other improvements to pre-bc leveling dungeons that players will likely find most agreeable. The level range for most every dungeon is being adjusted so that there is a much smaller range between the level of mobs found early in the dungeon to those found towards the end. For example, Shadowfang Keep is currently designed for levels 18-25 which means that right now, players who are towards the bottom of that range (18) will find it nearly impossible to complete the dungeon, while players towards the top of the range (25) will find most of the dungeon trivial. Using our new model (similar to what you'll notice with Burning Crusade leveling dungeons), Shadowfang Keep is being retuned for levels 18-21.

We also want to make running a leveling up dungeon more worth while. In addition to increasing quest experience for dungeon quests, we're also upgrading all pre-bc dungeon boss drops to blue quality items. Some examples are listed below:

Ragefire Chasm
Robe of Evocation old: +3 Stamina, + 4 Intelligence
Robe of Evocation new: +4 Stamina, +5 Intelligence, and +5 Spell Critical Strike Rating

Deadmines
Smite's Reaver old: +2 Strength, +1 Stamina, +1 Spirit, 11.1 dps
Smite's Reaver new: +2 Strength, +3 Stamina, +2 Hit Rating, 14.5 dps

Shadowfang Keep
Robes of Arugal old: +3 Agility, +5 Stamina, +9 Intelligence, +10 Spirit
Robes of Arugal new: +3 Spirit, +5 Stamina, +9 Intelligence, +12 Spell Damage

As you can see there is much in-store for the next major content patch, particularly a number of changes designed to benefit players who are leveling a character. Though we've given you a few examples of the things to come, we think everyone will pleasantly surprised when they see the full extent of the changes discussed above.

Quote from: Vaneras (Source)This is indeed true... Heart of the Wild in cat form will be changed from 20% STR to 10% AP.

In addition there will be changes to Items that granted bonus attack power in Cat, Bear, Dire Bear, and Moonkin forms. These items have been re-evaluated and in almost all cases, the attack power on the item has been increased. This change corrects an issue where feral weapon damage was not keeping up with other classes in its rate of increase.

Zul’Aman
Zul'Aman is a 10-player, level 70 outdoor instance located in the Ghostlands. Players will be able to confront six new bosses including the Forest Troll Warlord Zul'jin.

Guild Banks Introduced
The Guild Bank is a shared repository for an entire guild and will be accessible through new NPC’s called guild bankers. The Guild Bank will allow players with the appropriate permissions to store items and money for use by the rest of the guild. Permissions to withdraw and deposit money and items are controlled by the guild leader through the guild controls menu. The Guild Bank is divided up into separate tabs so that the guild leader may restrict access or group items into distinct categories.

* Up to 6 purchasable tabs each containing 98 item slots
* Permissions to view/deposit/withdraw per tab
* You may use your Guild Bank withdraw limits to pay for item repairs (now enabled on all merchants)
* Transaction logs of the last 50 actions in the bank viewable on a per tab basis


General

* Experience: The amount of experience needed to gain a level has been decreased between levels 20 and 60. In addition, the amount of experience granted by quests has been increased between levels 30 and 60.
* Expertise: We have added a new stat and associated rating called expertise and expertise rating. Expertise rating converts to expertise at the same rate that weapon skill rating formerly converted at. Each point of expertise reduces the chance for your attacks to be dodged or parried by 0.25%.
* Healing reduction effects will now affect all health drain spells and abilities (e.g. Mortal Strike will reduce health gained from Drain Life).
* Healing: Almost all items and enchantments that provide bonus healing now also provide a smaller number (approximately 1/3) of bonus spell damage. There are a few items and enchantments where this was not possible, such as random-stat items and Zul'Gurub enchantments, but this is now the case on virtually all other items.
* On Kill Effects: Items and abilities that trigger on killing an enemy will no longer trigger on using an ability that kills your pet.
* Weapon Skill: All items and abilities that granted weapon skill have been changed. In most cases, they were converted to expertise or expertise rating. Ranged attacks do not benefit from expertise, so ranged weapon skill has generally been replaced by critical strike bonuses or hit bonuses. In a few cases, talents have been changed toother effects to avoid granting players excessive amounts of expertise.
* A new flight path has been added to the Rebel Camp in northern Stranglethorn Vale.
* Flying units can see ground units and vice versa at any altitude.
* Players no longer gain the moving AOE radius bonus if they are jumping.
* Client spell cast requests are now sent to the server even if your player is already casting another spell. This eliminates the need for /stopcasting in macros to compensate for latency.

Friendly: 5% discount
Honored: 10% discount
Revered: 15% discount
Exalted: 20% discount

* Quest givers who have available daily quests will have a blue exclamation point instead of a yellow one.

The number of reinforcements available is reduced upon player death, loss of towers, and death of Captain Galvangar or Belinda Stonehearth.

Quote from Blizzard staffLive servers
If I'm not wrong, the Hallow's end should be available on all servers tomorrow at 04:00 AM server time, prepare yourself to run to the Scarlet Monastery's Graveyard with a lvl 70 5 man group and kill the Headless Horseman for tons of shiny loots

Interface

• (1) Sorting of auction house searches has been simplified so you can only sort by one column, and automatic sub-sorts have been created for those columns to be as useful as possible. In addition, sorting is now done on the server so as you page thru results, items will appear to be sorted across the entire results instead of just the page you’re looking at.
• (1) If you get a message "Interface action failed because of an AddOn", this means that an AddOn interfered with the Blizzard UI in some way. To diagnose this, enter the following into chat "/console taintLog 1" and restart the game and try to reproduce it. If you reproduce it, you can quit the game and search through the file Logs\taint.log for the word "blocked" and mail the log to the author of the AddOn listed there. Once you have done this you can turn off logging by entering the following into chat "/console taintLog 0”
• All players now have a tracking bubble on their minimap. From that menu you can select a specific type of vendor or npc to look for or you can select a specific tracking type if your character has tracking.

• If a player is looting a corpse and there are one or more items on it that player cannot loot, the player will still be able to see those items (although not able to loot them). This only is for green or better quality items. The cases this should affect are for the profession recipes that only a player of that profession can loot or when master looter is on and there is a threshold or better item on the corpse.
• NPC's with level appropriate quests will now always appear on your minimap as yellow exclamation points. NPC's that have quests that you have completed will now display as yellow question marks instead of yellow dots. In addition flight masters that you have not yet gotten the flight point for will display on the minimap as a green exclamation point.
• Npc's will display an icon on mouseover that gives a more specific indicator of their function rather than just a gossip bubble. Questgivers will now show a question mark as their in game mouseover, Innkeepers will show a hearthstone as their in game mouseover and so on.
• You can now pull the list of players in a channel out into the gamefield by clicking and dragging the channel name onto the gamefield. This list will show all the players in the channel sorted by voice chat status.

2.3 Testing

Best trinket ever.

Dispell de masse pour hunter (sisi ça marche xD)

Frequently asked questions

* Shaman Tier 6 sets were temporarily available for free. This has been fixed and Blizzard is aggressively deleting all gear and void crystals obtained using the bug. People who purchased the gear appear to be getting warnings, while the idiots who tried to exploit the bug for void crystals and gold profits appear to be receiving 48-hour (or longer) suspensions from the game. Moral of the story? Don't be a moron.
* Yes, Kael'thas was nerfed. It's in the patch notes. Get over it.
* The new buff highlighting feature of Bongos is apparently causing massive frame rate issues during raids. Disable it for improved performance.
* The patch notes originally posted here were out of date because the updater sucks. The current post should be the accurate notes for the latest build.
* The regular dungeon daily is 16g 39s and one [Ethereum Prison Key]
* The heroic daily is 24g 60s and 2 [Badge of Justice]
* If you are still seeing 2,8,24 as the Auction House time options, it's due to your not-up-to-date UI mods.
* Chests now despawn as soon as all non-Badge items in them have been looted. This means that if a chest (Mechanar, Ramparts, Karazhan) contains Badges of Justice, those should be looted first before other epic loot is distributed.

Undocumented changes and interesting factoids

* Disenchanting now auto-loots the disenchanted materials.
* The introduction of a Personal Arena Rating system appears to not be documented. It may be that Season 3 comes as part of Patch 2.3.1 and that these patch notes will document the system in more detail.
* Hunter shot ranges were reduced to a minimum range of either 1 yd. or 4 yds. Exact value is not yet confirmed.
* All players have had their video settings -- all of them -- reset to their default values. This is announced upon first booting up the newest version of the game client but is not fully documented in the patch notes. Please see the newly reconfigured Video Settings menu screen to fix your video configuration.
* Hunters can no longer Feign Death to drop combat and swap gear or drink during raid boss encounters.
* Various scripted bosses (Akama, Illidan, Nalorakk, Solarian, Naj'entus) appear to not reset properly for reasons which are not well-understood.
* Some pet scripting changes are causing pets to despawn as they search for paths to raid bosses in unique and unusual ways.
* The drop rate of Hearts of Darkness -- anecdotally -- appears to have been increased. (Seeking confirmation on this.)
* The cost of listing gems on the auction house has been lowered to a 90s deposit for blue gems and a 1g80s deposit for epic gems.
* The priest Shadow Weaving debuff proc will no longer add extra charges from Darkmoon Card: Crusade.
* Shaman and priests are prevented from refreshing their own Earth Shields and Prayers of Mending -- apparently even if the new spell has a higher +heal attached to it.
* Arcane Shot now also dispels all manner of non-Magic buffs. Flag carriers, shadow form, Find Minerals: Nothing is safe!
* Nexus Transformation -- the enchanting recipe to transform Nexus Crystals into Small Prismatic Shards -- has had the previous 48-hour cooldown removed.
* Game emotes now announce which variety of alcohol the local drunkard is imbibing.
* While a ghost, zoning into an instance where your corpse is not will no longer teleport you back to the graveyard.
* Shade of Akama's channelers are bugged, resulting in a ~30 second boss fight.
* Talent inspection is buggy for warriors and rogues with multiple-rank talents. If a warrior has Bloodthirst Rank 2, they no longer have Bloodthirst Rank 1 and so the inspectable talent tree will show them as not having Bloodthirst at all.
* Wanted posters now display a ! if they have a quest available for you, just like NPC's.
* Trying to sell items to vendors via drag-and-drop is now broken for stacked items. This has broken various UI mods and Blizzard is aware of the issue.
* The change to mob AI regarding prioritizing feared targets also affects horror effects such as Olm the Summoner's Death Coil.
* A ridiculously good new throwing weapon appears to be a BoE world drop. [Spinesever]
* Spellhaste now affects Starshards, but only shortens the time of the spell without reducing the time in between ticks.
* Void Reaver's Arcane Orbs now follow a curved trajectory, making them slightly harder to see.
* Twin Blades of Azzinoth now have a 45s hidden internal cooldown.

* Arcane Shot now also dispels all manner of non-Magic buffs. Flag carriers, shadow form, Find Minerals: Nothing is safe!

* Nexus Transformation -- the enchanting recipe to transform Nexus Crystals into Small Prismatic Shards -- has had the previous 48-hour cooldown removed.

* Hunters can no longer Feign Death to drop combat and swap gear or drink during raid boss encounters.
