The Druid Epic Flight Form is now available through a series of quests.īarkskin now reduces all damage taken, with its duration reduced to 12 seconds and cooldown reduced to 1 minute. However, the parameters will be adjusted as necessary when more organized teams become active in the battlegrounds. For now, the system will be very forgiving about creating matchups in order to keep queue times low. This system allows the battleground to select teams of similar equipment quality and organizational level to battle each other. The new battleground matchmaking system is now implemented and active. The Shadow Sight buff now allows players to see other stealthed players at a greater range. The Ruins of Lordaeron Arena is now available for play. Shattrath orphans have a whole new line of sight-seeing requests across both Outland and Azeroth and three new pets to offer to their mentors. The negative effect of the orc racial ability Blood Fury no longer stacks with other effects that reduce healing (Mortal Strike, Wounding Poison, etc.)Ĭharacters can now speak with Orphan Matron Mercy in Shattrath City during Children's Week to mentor a draenei (Alliance) or blood elf (Horde) orphan. Taunts: The taunt system has been adjusted so that Warrior Taunt, Druid Growl, and Paladin Righteous Defense will now grant the player the correct amount of threat even when the creature or its target is crowd controlled.ĭodge Rating: Low level players now calculate dodge from dodge rating at the same rate as level 34 players. That issue has been corrected on all set bonuses. Many set bonuses did not work properly when combined with an item or enchantment that had the exact same effect at the exact same magnitude. The amount of parry rating needed to get 1% parry has been reduced by 25%. Inspect distance has been increased to 30 yards (from 10 yards). Screenshots captured using the Print Screen key are now saved in JPG format. Instead, all targets over level 60 have a slightly larger chance to break out of crowd-controlling effects when they take damage. The same amount of damage/healing per casting will occur, but will take less time.Ĭhance to break crowd control from damage: The increased chance for a spell to break from taking a critical strike has been removed. However, spell haste will now affect channeled spells, increasing the rate of their effects and decreasing their total duration. Spell Haste: The amount of spell haste rating needed per percentage of haste has been increased substantially. Magtheridon and Kael'thas now drop items that may be turned in for rewards. Glancing Blows have significantly less of a chance to occur during a player's melee attacks when targets are near the player's level. Level 70 players can find this new quest line in Blade's Edge Mountains. Nether Drakes are now in the game and can be gained by continuing the Netherwing faction and quest line. Players will need a flying mount to reach this new area.
