General
- /timetest is a command that can be run to provide information
on game performance. /timetest 0 turns the command off. When the
command is issued, the next time a player uses a flight master to
travel, certain statistics will be measured and displayed at the end
of that flight. All weather effects and spawns are shutdown during
the test.
- Effects triggered from being critically hit: Many abilities and
talents were changed in 2.3.0 to allow them to trigger from critical
strikes that occurred while the player benefitting from them was
sitting.
- Quest givers with blue question marks no longer show up on the
minimap.
- NPC's who you have completed a quest for will display a question mark
on mouseover rather than an exclamation point.
- The bank controls for the guildmaster level of a guild is now grayed
out. A guildmaster always has full access to a guild bank and this
cannot be changed.
- A "Withdraw-Repair Only" button has been added to the guild bank
controls. If this is set for a guild rank, then that rank cannot
actually withdraw funds from the guild bank, but they can still use
that daily amount of money for repairs.
- You will now automatically stand up when attacked, even if the attack
doesn’t land.
- Boat and zeppelin vendors and NPCs are back on duty.

to cast.

mana cost, increased from 50%.

Rogues
- Ambush: The damage multiplier on this ability has been increased from
250% to 275%.
- Cheat Death: When multiple attacks land simultaenously, all those
resolved after the attack which triggered Cheat Death will now have
their damage reduced by 90% as intended. However, the combat log will
still report them doing full damage.
- Hemorrhage: Rank 4 of this ability no longer has its charges consumed
by non-physical attacks and spells.
- Hemorrhage weapon damage reduced from 125% to 110%, but the damage
debuff has been increased.

resets the cooldown of Adrenaline Rush.

all stances.
- Warriors no longer lose rage when using a macro to enter a stance
they’re already in.

Is this some patchtimer.org inside joke I'd need to be retarded to understand?

[xilsharn]

Hm. I guess the water shield change is good. *shrug*

[The Hiram Key]

The backstab and ambush boosts, as well as the repair to hemo damage while under the hemo debuff are definately steps in the right direction. Here's to hoping they push through a change to daggers versus plate and high R/D targets.

Did i miss it or no priest changes at all?

Whats the dealio with daggers in WoW? I have never played a rogue, but I know some and they are always going off about no one using daggers for anything.

Rogue's not using daggers EVER is kinda lore-sad.

Crusader Strike (Retribution) now causes 110% of weapon damage and no longer gains any bonus from spell damage.

Is this news? Seems like a pretty significant change to me.

This was discussed in the other thread but it boils down to the fact that daggers always relied on crits to be effective. In vanilla WoW this meant owning squishy classes and being able to outlast plate classes with stunlocks, gouges, vanishes etc. until you crit them down.

With TBC, resilience negates the strenght of the weapon by reducing crits and crit damage which means squishies don't die very quickly and plate classes laugh at you.

Who in their right mind is subtlety daggers? Combat and assassination daggers are what need the boost.

[The Ancient]

Can we keep this rogue shit in the other thread please? We've already had plenty of time to explore fucking daggers.

This is going to be real interesting. I'm gonna have a blast wasting scrub mages who respec to fire for arenas this week.

The mana gem change is *huge* for us, and definitely a good step for the class. Ultimately, I don't think mana will ever go away (unfortunately), but this is an effective extra 5k mana when I do arenas.

Icy Veins, fuck. I already have like 7 clicky cooldowns to manage in my head, do I need more? Whew, I'm really excited about this one.

The stone change is great for all situations, as it's now a net positive; mages can chain mana emeralds while grinding, for example.
