Patch 4.0.6, is a tooltip fix, and class adjustment patch. Hotfixes applied after 4.0.3a updated the actual spells in the game, but not the tooltips used to display them. This client-side patch fixes that, along with a few other balance tweaks.

Template:Patchnotesbox

General

  • Many tooltips have been updated to reflect any changes made via recent hotfixes.
  • The guild reward Inv misc babyarmadillopet [Armadillo Pup] now requires revered faction instead of exalted.

      • The Battleground Demolisher no longer has two additional seats and now only has room for the driver.
      • A PvP duration flag has been added to Battleground Demolishers. This should make it so crowd control effects cast on unmanned demolishers does not last an extended amount of time.
