Epic Gems for Badges

##NOLIGHTBOX##
Finally! The patterns were already added to Shattered Sun rep vendors, and all that was missing were gems. These gems and recipes were for months a thorn in my jewelcrafter’s eye, and buying them from the auction house is painful even for my budget.
I’m sure there’s a lot of guilds out there unhappy about this, [...]


New Class Changes in 2.4

##NOLIGHTBOX##It looks like those fake 2.4 patch notes weren’t completely fake after all.
Here’s the recent class changes from mmo-champion:
Druid

Lifebloom healing coefficient has been reduced.
Many shapeshift form tooltips have been updated to be consistent with each other.
Nurturing Instinct increases your healing spells by up to 50/100% of your Agility, and increases healing done to you [...]


Warlock’s Pet No Longer Scales

##NOLIGHTBOX##It seems warlock and hunter pets are currently not scaling with their master’s stats anymore. The only stats which they get are spell damage, intellect and armor, but no stamina or attack power.
What this means, other than being the biggest warlock nerf ever, is that your Felhunter will have about 3000 health, which will make [...]


Patch 2.4 - PvP Additions

##NOLIGHTBOX##It doesn’t look like patch 2.4 will change much about class (im)balance, but there are some interesting changes so far. Looks like we’ll be doing the same thing again: farm reputation, Badges of Justice, and honor.
Here’s what awaits those of us on the frontlines.
New PvP cloaks, this time with spell haste:

Battlemaster’s Alacrity is a new [...]


2.4 Patch notes

##NOLIGHTBOX##It’s probably fake, but still there are some stuff here that should (not) be changed in near future.
I won’t list all of them, but only those I find particularly good or dumb.

Silence and Interrupt effects are now subject to diminishing returns.

Won’t happen.

The Backpack has been redesigned. It will now start as a 10 slot bag, [...]


Thou shall be banned

##NOLIGHTBOX##We can all agree the afk reporting feature in 2.2 patch didn’t help much - in the first few days after the patch hit everyone was eager to report people and it did help a bit. If nothing else, I felt like I could finally do something about the afkers except live with it. You [...]


2.3 Second Impressions

I finally had some time to check out the new patch myself, so here’s some things I noticed.
New cooking daily quest ain’t that bad - I can finally get some Golden Fish Sticks without actually having fishing. You wouldn’t believe but I actually had a hard time finding Monstrous Kaliri; usually they are the ones [...]


2.3 Impressions

World of Raids reports about undocumented changes. I especially like the one about T6 Resto Shaman gear not having token cost.

You can read about 2.3 from a warrior’s perspective on Warriorpwns and The Positive Warrior.

Jagoex from Warlock Therapy got Azure Whelping. Grats!

Karthis talks about addon issues and Karazhan.

Frostbolt.com has some Zul’Aman screenshots. Among other things.

Laser [...]


2.3 Auction House Changes

There are some new categories added to the auction house interface, consumables and trade goods.
You will be able to search consumables for food & drink, flasks, potions, bandages, scrolls, elixirs, and other misc items like various drums made by leatherworkers.
For trade goods, the categories are elemental (essences, primals), cloth, leather, metal and stone (ore, bars [...]
