New High-Level Armor Sets!

Adventurers of Azeroth can now quest to upgrade their previous Rare-quality Dungeon set to a new, higher-quality set, including epic gear! These tasks include all-new boss encounters, so prepare your finest group of dungeon-delvers and prepare for a challenge!

Click here to see the new armor and their stats.

Based on High Level Armor Sets page on the Official site.
Class Dungeon Set 1 → Dungeon Set 2
Druid Wildheart Raiment → Feralheart Raiment
Hunter Beaststalker Armor → Beastmaster Armor
Mage Magister's Regalia → Sorcerer's Regalia
Paladin Lightforge Armor → Soulforge Armor
Priest Vestments of the Devout → Vestments of the Virtuous
Rogue Shadowcraft Armor → Darkmantle Armor
Shaman The Elements → The Five Thunders
Warlock Dreadmist Raiment → Deathmist Raiment
Warrior Battlegear of Valor → Battlegear of Heroism

Weather!

Weather has been introduced in the following areas around Azeroth:

  • Elwynn Forest
  • Tirisfal Glades
  • Dun Morogh
  • Darkshore
  • Alterac Mountains
  • Stranglethorn Vale
  • Feralas
  • Un'Goro Crater
  • Tanaris
  • Winterspring
  • Ahn'Qiraj

We will be adding more weather to the world as time progresses; this is simply the beginning!

High-Level Instance Changes

Along with the new Armor Sets, the high-level 5-10 man dungeons have received some changes regarding loot. Many items have been improved in quality and use. In addition, several epic items, such as Headmaster's Charge and the Runeblade of Baron Rivendare, have had their drop rates significantly increased. In order to preserve the challenge of these dungeons, they have had their instance caps lowered. Stratholme, Scholomance, and Blackrock Depths now allow a maximum of five players inside, and Blackrock Spire allows a maximum of ten.

Quest Experience to Gold Conversion at Level 60

Previously, quest experience was wasted if one completed a quest at level 60. In this patch, any quests done at maximum level will have their experience reward converted to a healthy amount of gold, thus adding additional incentive to completing those quests in your log once you hit 60.

New Final Destination Flight Paths!

If you're making several jumps to get to your destination, you will now be able to choose that flight path from your initial Flight Master. The costs will remain the same, but you no longer need to manually click on each path. The UI has also been improved significantly.

This means that the attack power contribution from all ranged weapons will be the same, no matter what their speed. All weapons will contribute attack power as if they were 2.8 speed. Weapons slower than 2.8 speed will do slightly less damage than previously; weapons faster than 2.8 speed will do slightly more damage.

  • Spell nature ravenform [Improved Aspect of the Hawk] - The buff from this talent has had its duration increased from 8 seconds to 12 seconds. Note that the haste it provides does not begin until the second shot after the triggering shot. This change is to compensate for that delay.

  • Ability druid ferociousbite [Bestial Wrath] - No longer generates threat for the Hunter.

  • Fixed problem where a tamed pet would be lost if the hunter died as the tame completed.

  • Spell fire firearmor [Improved Fire Ward] - This ability now functions properly again.
  • Spell holy dizzy [Detect Magic] - This spell no longer triggers procs on the spell caster. This was being abused to land debuffs without getting on the creature's hate list.

  • All racial priest spell replacements have had their training costs reduced.
  • Spell holy prayeroffortitude [Prayer of Fortitude] - Range and area of effect increased.
  • Spell holy searinglight [Holy Fire] - Is now available to all priests, starting at level 20.
  • Spell holy mindsooth [Mind Soothe] - Is now instant cast.
  • Spell shadow shadowform [Shadowform] - Now reduces all physical damage taken (melee and ranged), as the tooltip suggests.
  • Feedback (Human) - Redesigned. The priest surrounds himself with anti-magic energy. Any successful spell cast against the priest will burn mana from the attacker and cause Shadow damage.
  • Spell holy elunesgrace [Elune's Grace] (Night Elf) - Now also increases chance to dodge. Ranged damage reduction increased, duration decreased, mana cost decreased, now has a cooldown.
  • Shadowguard (Troll) - Is now instant cast. Updated tooltip to reflect that damage caused by Shadowguard causes no threat. This was previously the case, but was undocumented.

  • Spell holy testoffaith [Desperate Prayer] (Dwarf/Human) - Cooldown reduced.
  • Spell shadow deadofnight [Touch of Weakness] (Undead) - Now a 10 min. buff on the caster that is triggered when they are struck in melee. The effect is otherwise the same. Mana cost decreased substantially.
  • Spell shadow fingerofdeath [Hex of Weakness] (Troll) - Now also applies a -20% healing modifier in addition to its normal effect. The healing debuff does not stack with the warrior's Mortal Strike ability, although the damage penalty now stacks with either Touch of Weakness or Curse of Weakness. Mana cost decreased substantially.
  • Spell arcane starfire [Starshards] (Night Elf) - This spell now works like Curse of Agony, with lower initial damage which increases as the duration continues. Mana cost dropped approximately 30% on all ranks. Ranks 1 and 2 increased to 6 second duration. Damage increased approximately 17%.
  • Spell holy lesserheal [Lesser Heal] - Mana cost dropped approximately 9%.
  • Spell holy greaterheal [Heal] - Ranks 2, 3, and 4, cast time reduced to 3 seconds. Rank 1 mana cost dropped approximately 9%. Rank 2, 3, and 4 the healing amount has been reduced to generate the same amount of healing per cast time as before the cast time was reduced. Rank 2, 3, and 4, the mana cost was reduced to cost approximately 9% less mana per point of healing generated. The net effect on all ranks is that the healing per mana is 10% higher, the cast time is limited to 3 seconds, and the healing per second is unchanged. Note that spells with less than 3.5 second cast time will not receive the full bonus from plus healing items.
  • Spell holy heal [Greater Heal] - Cast time reduced to 3 seconds. Healing and Mana cost reduced so that the healing per second is unchanged, but the healing per mana is increased approximately 10%. Note that spells with less than 3.5 second cast time will not receive the full bonus from plus healing items.
  • Spell shadow unsummonbuilding [Vampiric Embrace] - Damage resisted by the target will no longer be counted as damage caused for the purposes of the healing from this ability.

  • Spell shadow rainoffire [Rain of Fire] - This ability will correctly trigger Pyroclasm again.
  • Spell shadow shadowpact [Master Demonologist] - Pets that were crowd controlled at the moment of summon prevented you from receiving the buff from this talent. That has been fixed.

Items

  • Relics have been introduced to the game. These are class specific items for Druids, Paladins, and Shaman which can be equipped in the ranged slot. Currently there are a handful for each class which can be found scattered throughout Blackrock Depths, Blackrock Spire, Dire Maul, Scholomance, Stratholme, and The Temple of Ahn'Qiraj. We hope that you enjoy the first round of available relics and we will continue to add more in future patches.
  • Many items in Blackrock Depths, Stratholme, Scholomance, and Blackrock Spire have been re-evaluated and adjusted to make them more appealing. In addition several new items have been added to all of these instances.
  • The following item sets have had their set bonuses adjusted: Valor, Magister's, Lightforge, Shadowcraft, Dreadmist, Devout, Wildheart, Beaststalker, and Elements.
  • The locations of some of the waist, wrist, and hand slot pieces of the dungeon armor sets have been moved from their old creatures, including the Inv gauntlets 19 [Lightforge Gauntlets] and the Inv boots 02 [Magister's Boots].

  • The Lightning Shield bonus on the Ten Storms set will now work the same way as all other Lightning Shield auras, including increased damage from bonus spell damage effects.
  • The tooltip on Thunderfury has been clarified to indicate that only the primary target will receive the slowing effect. In addition, the two effects have been broken down into two different debuffs to prevent incorrect information from appearing in the debuff tooltip for secondary targets (previously secondary targets were told they were slowed when they were not actually slowed).
  • Inv jewelry ring 40 [Wrath of Cenarius] will now trigger off all damaging spells.
  • The charges from the Zandalarian Hero Charm will now be consumed by melee and ranged abilities and spells which do non-physical damage. This includes: Hammer of Wrath, Judgement of Righteousness, Seal of Command, Judgement of Command, Volley, and Arcane Shot. The trinket will also now burn charges from each casting of a damage over time spell, heal over time spell, and area aura spells such as Blizzard and Consecration. Only one charge will be burned per area spell cast, rather than multiple charges per target hit as was previously the case.
  • The Panther Hide Bag from High Priestess Arlokk will no longer take the place of other items. Instead, this item will now sometimes drop in addition to the normal loot.
  • The following items were found to be more powerful than intended and have been tuned to be more in line with their level: Inv weapon bow 03 [Satyr's Bow], Inv sword 14 [Inventor's Focal Sword], and Inv mace 07 [Scepter of the Unholy].
  • Inv chest chain 09 [Green Whelp Armor] no longer affects targets above level 50 and the sleep duration was reduced to 10 seconds.
  • Many Recipes now have different icons. Recipe icons should correspond with the item color; a green-glowing scroll is a green recipe, and a blue-glowing scroll is a blue recipe, for example. As a reminder, white recipes can be purchased from a vendor somewhere in the world, so players should not pay too much for them at the Auction House.
  • The Inv sword 40 [Phantom Blade]'s effect will now prevent players from trying to become stealthed or invisible.
  • The Inv fabric wool 01 [Luffa] and Inv misc stonetablet 11 [Talisman of Ephemeral Power] now have sell prices.

  • The duration of the Inv misc ahnqirajtrinket 03 [Fetish of the Sand Reaver]'s effect has been increased, but the effect lowered.
  • Many trinkets will now trigger a cooldown equal to the duration of their effects that will prevent simultaneous use of more than one of these trinkets. The Trinkets affected include the Inv jewelry necklace 13 [Zandalarian Hero Charm], Inv jewelry necklace 13 [Zandalarian Hero Badge], Inv jewelry necklace 13 [Zandalarian Hero Medallion], and most all the other Trinkets available from Zul'Gurub, Earthstrike, the Inv misc stonetablet 11 [Talisman of Ephemeral Power], and the level 50 class quest trinkets such as the Inv misc eye 01 [Devilsaur Eye].

  • Clarified the Inv jewelry talisman 01 [Hand of Justice] and Inv jewelry amulet 01 [Force of Will] tooltips to better describe their functionalities.

  • Players will no longer be stuck in zoomed vision if they zone while using the Inv misc spyglass 01 [Ornate Spyglass].

User Interface

  • The Reputation UI has gotten a significant overhaul:
    • You can now click on a faction in the reputation pane to get additional details/options.
    • You can display one of your reputations on your main display where your experience bar currently displays. If you are not level 60 it displays two thin bars - experience and reputation.
    • You can mark any of your factions as "Inactive". These factions will be moved to the bottom of your reputation pane in a callout that is closed by default.
  • Your experience bar will no longer display when you are level 60. The primary benefit of this relates to the improvements to the Reputation systems.
  • Shift-R will now reply to the last person that you sent a tell to rather than the last person who sent a tell to you.
  • Purchasing Bank Slots now has a confirmation dialogue to prevent accidental purchase.
  • All Set bonuses for a set now display even if you do not have all the required items for that set. The set bonuses that you do not have yet display in gray and also show in parenthesis the number of pieces of the set required for that bonus.
  • You can now mouseover items in your mailbox and get item mouseover information without opening the mail.
  • The raid option to "Show Castable Buffs" should now work correctly.
  • If a /who search brings up few enough names that those names are displayed to the chat interface, those names will be right clickable for invite/whisper purposes.
  • Fixed a bug that would prevent health and mana display in group or raid from updating properly.
  • Fixed problem where character specific macros could be overwritten by account-wide macros.
  • You are no longer able to modify the Blizzard XML and Lua files.
  • Addons and macros may not call or hook functions that initiate movement.
  • Addons can no longer use RegisterForSave().
  • SpellStopCasting() requires input to work, like spell casting does.
  • Toggling autocast for pet actions requires input to work, like commanding your pet does.
