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 [...]


Sorry Mate, You Have to PvE

##NOLIGHTBOX##First, they added PvP cloaks which you can buy for 60 Badges of Justice (BoJ). Then there’s items like Hex Shrunken Head, Warglaives of Azzinoth, Berserkers Call and many more which are far better for PvP then some Shankers or Slicers. Tidewalker in SSC drops this ring which is pretty good actually; here’s one from [...]


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, [...]


Ming sucks!

The latest 2.3.2 news surprised me today. I didn’t expect a rogue nerf at least till 2.4, but AR/Prep was more ez-mode than SL/SL.

* Ambush: The damage multiplier on this ability has been increased from 250% to 275%.
* Hemorrhage: This ability now correctly does additional damage when its debuff has already been applied.
* Preparation now [...]


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 [...]
