• Touch of the Dead no longer suffers from a decreased multiplier when a lower ranked spell is used.Undead source

  Developers’ notes: This shouldn’t have been in place because it’s a racial, not a Class spell or ability.

• Leader of the Pack now only increases Melee and Ranged Critical Strike chance, and is Raid wide.Druid source

• Auto Shot now requires you to stand still for 0.5 seconds before shooting, matching early versions of World of Warcraft.Hunter source

  Developers’ notes: Your character will still fire Auto Shot while casting spells like Aimed Shot or Sniper Shot.

• Arrows should now be visible when a character has their bow drawn back.Hunter source

• Fixed an issue where Sniper Shot was not benefitting from a few Marksmanship talents.Hunterfix source

• Resourcefulness now correctly reduces the Mana cost of Strider Kick.Hunter source
• Resourcefulness now correctly activates when landing a critical strike, but it has been changed to only activating on melee and ranged ability critical strikes to prevent spamming.Hunter source

  Developers’ notes: Is not activated by Traps.

• Updated the tooltip for Predator’s Edge changed to better convey that it only increases the critical strike damage of your abilities.Hunter source
• Frost Blast: This new spell is learned at level 24. It deals damage and slows the target’s movement by 40%. It has a 1.5 second cast time, and is affected by all talents that affect Frostbolt.Mage source

  Developers’ notes: The purpose of this spell is to provide the functionality formerly granted by Rank 1 Frostbolt despite the penalization of “down-ranking”. It does have a higher Mana cost and deals a little more damage as well.

• Fixed an issue where Presence of Mind would not be consumed by spell casts.Magefix source
• Fixed an issue where Missile Barrage could reduce the cost and duration of a second Arcane Missiles cast.Magefix source
• Missile Barrage: This talent has moved to the first row and become a 2-point talent. It now also grants a chance for Arcane Missiles hits to trigger Missile Barrage.Mage source
• Arcane Blast: Redesigned. This spell is now a 1.5 second cast, and each time it is cast it grants the casting Mage 15% of their Intellect as additional Spell Damage. This effect also increases the cost of Arcane Blast as before and still stacks to 4 times. However, the effect now lasts 15 seconds from when it is first applied, instead of just until the next spell cast. Mana cost unchanged, but damage done and Spell Damage coefficients both reduced 40%.Mage source
• Arcane Wrath: New 16-point gold medal talent. This new spell deals base damage similar to Fireball, with a 3.5 second cast, but also deals damage as if the Mage had additional Spell Power equal to 5% of the Mage’s maximum Mana. 6 second cooldown.Mage source
• Heating Up is no longer consumed if the Mage also had Presence of Mind active for the Pyroblast cast. Heating up also always gains an additional charge each time the Mage casts Fire Blast. This does mean Fire Blast critical strikes generate 2 charges.Mage source
• Wake of Fire: Talent reverted back to Improved Fire Blast and no longer grants a bonus when the Mage kills a target. It also now increases the range of Fireblast by 8/15 yards.Mage source
• Critical Mass: Mages can now spend up to 5 points in this talent for 10% total critical strike increase.Mage source
• Fire Power: Redesigned. Now only 3 talent points. Increases damage done by Fire spells by 1/2/3% per the Mage’s Fire effects on the target, up to a maximum increase of 12%. Spells that mix multiple schools of magic do not grant this bonus.Mage source

  Developers’ notes: Specifically, the effects which can grant increased Fire damage from this talent are Ignite, Improved Scorch, Fireball, and Pyroblast, and Impact. Frostfire Bolt does not grant the damage increase but can benefit from it.

• Frost Channeling now correctly reduces the Mage’s threat.Mage source
• Fixed an issue where Ice Block was too transparent.Magefix source
• Fixed various issues around Clearcasting. Clearingcast now correctly does not roll for every target struck by a spell. Clearcasting no longer has a chance to activate off of Dampen Magic and Amplify Magic. Clearcasting no longer has a chance to be activated by abilities cast when not in combat.Magefix source
• Fixed an issue preventing Frostbite and Fingers of Frost from activating from your Ice Armor and Frost Armor spells.Magefix source
• Ice Lance damage against Frozen targets changed to a 200% increase (Was 300%).Mage source
• Cone of Cold: Movement speed of the first 4 targets hit is decreased by an additional 10% and the slow lasts an additional 3 seconds on those targets.Mage source

  Developers’ notes: The ability of this spell to control massive number of targets was the primary reason it was previously reduced in effectiveness and duration. It feels reasonable to let it retain this level of power when used against 4 or fewer targets.

• Winter’s Chill: Redesigned. No longer increases critical strike chance. Instead, it causes Cone of Cold to deal 40% increase damage per stack of Winter’s Chill on the target, consumed by next Cone of Cold.Mage source
• Slightly changed the positioning of the spell visual for Cone of Cold.Mage source
• New spell Frost Blast. 1.5 second cast. Deals low frost damage. Slows/chills. Benefits from talents that benefit Frostbolt.Mage source
• Winter’s Chill change to: Gives your Frostbolt, Frost Blast, and Fingers of Frost empowered Ice Lance spells a 20/40/60/80/100% chance to apply Winter’s Chill, increasing the target’s damage taken from your next Cone of Cold by 5% and it gains an additional 7% of your spell damage, stacking up to 5 times.Mage source
• Seal of Fury is no longer overwritten by Power Word: Shield.Paladin source
• Blessing of Salvation and Greater Blessing of Salvation have been replaced with Salvation and Mass Salvation. These are applied in the same manner as the blessings were, but are not exclusive with blessings.Paladin source
• Paladins now also learn Revoke when Salvation is learned. Revoke removes target party or raid member’s Salvation or Mass Salvation.Paladin source

  Developers’ notes: This is to restore the functionality of giving the Paladin more finesse and control over who has Salvation active and who doesn’t.

• Judgement of Righteousness and Judgement of Fury now have the correct spell power coefficients for instant cast spells.Paladin source
• Fixed an issue causing Seal of Righteousness to gain almost twice as much benefit from Spell Damage than intended.Paladinfix source
• Fixed an issue where Judgement of Righteousness had an incorrect Spell Damage coefficient.Paladinfix source
• Consecration’s Spell Power Coefficient per tick has been changed to 0.042 (was 0.095).Paladin source

• Shield Specialization Mana restored to the Paladin lowered to 4% with a 3 second internal cooldown (was 6% with a 3 second internal cooldown).Paladin source
• Reckoning: This talent has been adjusted so you gain a charge of Reckoning each time it triggers. Your next melee swing (auto attack) will trigger all accumulated charges for 1 extra attack each. You may have a maximum of 4 charges.Paladin source
• This restores the Classic Era functionality of storing up to 4 charges and delays all the triggers until your next swing so that it does not cause the auto attack timer to be reset by instant attacks.Paladin source
• Champion of the Light now increases your spell damage by 10/20/30% of your Intellect (was 20/40/60%).Paladin source
• Sanctified Judgement’s Mana restore effect no longer generates threat.Paladin source

• Shadow Word: Death cooldown increased to 18 seconds (was 12 seconds).Priest source
