File Instructions:: General

# All players will have their talent points reimbursed and will have access to new talents throughout their trees; this includes the 41-point talents. Several new abilities have also been added for all classes.
# All pets will now receive a percentage of their master's armor, spell damage, spell resistances, attack power, and stamina.
# Low-level spells cast by high-level players will receive smaller bonuses from+healing and +spell damage.
# HoTs, DoTs, and channeled spells have been re-balanced to receive a more appropriate (higher) percentage of +spell damage and +healing.
# HoTs from different sources will now stack (i.e. multiple druids can cast the Rejuvenation spell on 1 target).
# New item property "Resilience" has been introduced. Resilience reduces your chance to be the victim of a critical strike, and reduces the amount of damage
critical strikes do to you.
# Weapon Skill now does the following:
# Weapon skill will no longer reduce the percentage damage lost due to glancing.
# The player will gain 0.1% to their critical strike rating per weapon skill against monsters above their level.
# When casting a buff on a low level target, the appropriate rank of the buff will automatically be applied.
# In PvP, Crowd Control effects will last no longer than 12 seconds instead of the full duration, with a chance of a heartbeat resist.
# Players will no longer lose faction when under the influence of "Mind Control" or the Gnomish Mind Control Cap.
# Several improvements have been made to the Macintosh client, including support for Multi-Threaded OpenGL on Intel Macs running OS X 10.4.8 or higher.

PvP

# Players may display their highest lifetime rank title (accessible from character sheet).
# Honor points earned each day may now be spent as a form of currency.
# Check the PvP tab of your character sheet to see your honor information.
# PvP rewards are no longer unique.
# Marks of Honor earned from battlegrounds are no longer turned in for reputation or honor. They are now used in addition to honor points in order to
purchase rewards.
# Two New Arenas are now available in three different modes.
# 2v2, 3v3, and 5v5 matches
# Players may queue up at Goblin NPC's in Stormwind, Ironforge, Orgrimmar, Undercity, and Gadgetzan

Druids

# The talent "Swiftmend" will now include bonus healing from the talents "Improved Rejuvenation" and "Empowered Rejuvenation".
# "Feline Swiftness" has been renamed "Feral Swiftness". Dodge % increase now also applies to Bear and Dire Bear Forms.
# "Improved Moonfire" has been reduced to 2 ranks, for a 5/10% bonus.
# "Insect Swarm" has had damage on all ranks increased. Mana cost of ranks 1,3 increased. Mana cost of ranks 4,5,6 decreased.
# "Nurturing Instinct" now grants the benefit at all times, but the bonus has been reduced to 25/50% of Strength.
# "Omen of Clarity's" duration has been increased to 30 min.
# "Improved Starfire" has been renamed to "Celestial Focus". It now also increases the chance to resist pushback when casting Wrath by 25/50/70%.
# "Blood Frenzy's" benefits have now merged with "Primal Fury".
# "Improved Leader of the Pack" has been reduced to 2 ranks for 2/4% total health healed.
# "Pounce" no longer requires the druid to be behind the target.
# "Barkskin" is now usable while stunned.

Hunters

# Traps can be set while in combat, but require a 2 second arming time.

# 1 Agility will now grant 1 Ranged Attack Power.
# "Auto shot" is now reset when casting Aimed Shot.

# Freezing Traps will now cancel combat when cast.

Mages

# "Frost Nova" (Water Elemental Spell) has now been renamed "Freeze".

Shaman

# Shaman with the appropriate talent spec are now able to dual wield.
# Self-weapon buffs such as Windfury Weapon can be applied to both main and off-hand weapons.
# Rockbiter's weapon functionality has been changed. It is now a damage proc instead of a flat attack power bonus.
# Windfury Weapon and Rockbiter Weapon enchantments will only benefit the weapon with the enchantment on it.

Warlocks

# The range of "Drain Life" and "Drain Mana" spells have been increased.

Warriors

# Rage generation from dealing damage has been normalized.
# All Rage awards are averaged with our expected rage per swing (adjusted for weapon speed).

Items

# The "Far Sight" effect has changed so that the camera now zooms in to a distant location, rather than instantly showing the distant view. This also
affects the items: Ultra-Spectropic Vision Goggles, the Ornate Spyglass, and the Hunter ability "Eagle Eye."
# Spells can now require either a totem item or a totem category item to cast a spell. This means that the Enchanting Rods now count as all of the lower level enchanting rods as well, so you only need a single enchanting rod instead of all six. This also means that "Finkle's Skinner" now counts as a Skinning Knife. Several weapons that are picks have been flagged as counting as a Mining pick as well.
# Items that give bonuses, such as critical strike percentage, have been modified to adhere to a combat rating system.
# All current items will provide the exact same benefit from ratings at level 60 as they provided before the ratings system.
# Thrown weapon items no longer stack, but use durability instead. One unit of durability is lost per throw, and these items can be repaired.
# The tool tip for the Great Staff of the Guardian now shows the proper increase of 28 to the party spell critical rating.
# Items that are useable from player inventory with a cooldown will now update the cooldown in real-time.
# Players will no longer be able to sell the "Blue Skeletal Horse" to vendors.
# The damage Proc from the item "Misplaced Servo Arm" will no longer break the Rogue ability "Gouge".
# The "Skull of Impending Doom" has been changed and will now increase run speed by 60% for 10 seconds, but deals damage equal to 60% of your maximum health and drains 60% of your maximum mana for over 10 seconds.
# The Backfire effect on the "Net-O-Matic" will no longer break on damage.

Professions

# All of the profession-made items that have been created up to now have been given proper stats based on the current expansion item level progression table.
# Most of the items made by Tailoring/Leatherworking/Blacksmithing have had their creation time reduced. Now the cap on time required to make an item in
those professions is based on quality and level.
# New Max times required.
# Level 31+ Green Items at least 8 sec
# Level 31+ Blue Items at least 15 sec
# Level 31+ Purple Items at least 25 sec
# Skill level now determines what items you can disenchant.

# Skill 25= Level 20-25
# Skill 50= Level 25-30
# Skill 75= Level 30-35
