||
| − | |||
| − | ==General== |
||
| − | * Flying mounts can now be used in [[Ghostlands]]. |
||
| − | * [[Resilience]] scaling has been modified for linear returns, as opposed to increasing returns. Under the new formula, going from 30 resilience to 40 resilience gives players the same increase to survivability as going from 0 to 10. Resilience now scales in the same way armor and magic resistances do. A player with 32.5% damage reduction from resilience in 4.0.6 should see their damage reduction unchanged in 4.1. Those with less than 32.5% will gain slightly. Those with more will lose some damage reduction, increasingly so as their resilience climbs. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Classes: General == |
||
| − | * All non-damaging interrupts off the [[global cooldown]] will now always hit the target. This includes [[Pummel]], [[Shield Bash]], [[Kick]], [[Mind Freeze]], [[Rebuke]], [[Skull Bash]], [[Counterspell]], [[Wind Shear]], [[Solar Beam]], [[Silencing Shot]], and related player pet abilities. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Death Knights=== |
||
| − | * [[Dark Simulacrum]] now works on numerous additional spells in dungeon encounters. |
||
| − | * [[Raise Ally]] has been redesigned to be a battle resurrection, analogous to [[Rebirth]]. It is instant cast, but costs 50 Runic Power to use, and has a 10-minute cooldown. It shares the same global battle resurrection cap with Rebirth and Soulstone. |
||
| − | * Talent Specializations |
||
| − | ** Blood |
||
| − | *** [[Blood Shield]] now only works while in [[Blood Presence]]. |
||
| − | *** [[Death Strike]] self-healing no longer generates threat. |
||
| − | ** Frost |
||
| − | *** [[Blood of the North]] (passive) now permanently converts both [[Blood Rune]]s into [[Death Rune]]s. There is no longer any proc interaction with [[Blood Strike]] required to activate Death Runes. |
||
| − | *** [[Frost Strike]] now deals 130% of weapon damage, up from 110%. |
||
| − | *** [[Howling Blast]] damage has been increased by 20%. To compensate, the area-of-effect splash now does 50% of the single-target damage, down from 60%. The net result of this change leaves the area-of-effect damage roughly the same as 4.0.6 numbers. |
||
| − | *Glyphs |
||
| − | **[[Glyph of Raise Ally]] is now [[Glyph of Death Gate]], and makes [[Death Gate]] cast 60% faster. |
||
| − | |||

| − | ** Restoration |
||
| − | *** [[Gift of Nature]] (passive) also reduces [[Tranquility]]'s cooldown by 2.5/5 minutes. |
||
| − | |||

||
| − | |||
| − | ===Priests === |
||
| − | * [[Divine Aegis]] duration has been increased to 15 seconds, up from 12. |
||
| − | * [[Dispel Magic]] can only be used on the casting priest as a baseline effect. |
||
| − | * [[Holy Word: Sanctuary]] has a new spell effect. |
||
| − | * [[Inner Will]] and [[Inner Fire]] now last until canceled. |
||
| − | * [[Power Word: Shield]] duration has been reduced to 15 seconds, down from 30. |
||
| − | * Talent Specializations |
||
| − | ** Discipline |
||
| − | *** [[Absolution]] (new passive) enables priests to use Dispel Magic on up to 2 harmful effects on friendly targets. |
||
| − | *** [[Power Word: Barrier]]'s cooldown has been increased to 3 minutes, up from 2, and its effect has been reduced to 25%, down from 30%. |
||
| − | *** It is now possible to remove [[Weakened Soul]] effects that were a result of another priest's Power Word: Shield through [[Strength of Soul]]. |
||
| − | ** Holy |
||
| − | *** [[Absolution]] (new passive) enables priests to use Dispel Magic on up to 2 harmful effects on friendly targets. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Rogues === |
||
| − | * [[Recuperate]] base effect now heals 3% per tick, up from 2%. |

||
| − | ** Subtlety |
||
| − | *** [[Nightstalker]] now reduces the cooldown of Stealth by 2/4 seconds, and instead of negating the movement penalty from Stealth, it adds a 5/10% movement speed bonus (stacking with other effects) while Stealthed. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Shaman === |
||
| − | * [[Fire Nova]] has been redesigned and decoupled from shaman Fire totems. Instead, it now pulses the Fire Nova effect from each target that is afflicted by the shaman's own [[Flame Shock]] debuff. It now damages all enemies except the target hit by Flame Shock. The ability's cooldown has been reduced to 4 seconds, down from 10. |
||
| − | * [[Magma Totem]] now lasts for 60 seconds, up from 21. |
||
| − | * [[Stoneclaw Totem]]'s area-of-effect threat pulse no longer affects critters. |
||
| − | * Talent Specializations |
||
| − | ** Elemental Combat |
||
| − | *** [[Earthquake]] is no longer a channeled spell. It now has a 2-second cast time, lasts for 10 seconds, and has a 10-second cooldown. Its damage has been reduced by 40% from its channeled version. |
||
| − | ** Enhancement |
||
| − | *** [[Improved Fire Nova]] has been redesigned and replaced by a talent called [[Seasoned Winds]]. When an enemy spell cast is successfully prevented with [[Wind Shear]] or [[Grounding Totem]], the shaman gains magical resistance (in an amount equal to what a protection totem/aura would grant, stacking with such buffs) to the spell school(s) of the interrupted spell (except for Holy spells), lasting 10 seconds. |
||
| − | |||
| − | === Warlocks === |
||
| − | * Talent Specializations |
||
| − | ** Affliction |
||
| − | *** [[Haunt]] damage has been increased by 30%. |
||
| − | *** [[Shadow Mastery]] (passive) has been increased to 30%, up from 25%. |
||
| − | ** Demonology |
||
| − | *** [[Mana Feed]] now restores more mana (four times as much) when the warlock is using a Felguard or Felhunter. |
||
| − | * Pets |
||
| − | ** Doomguard's damage has been increased by 50%. The Doomguard is intended to be the best guardian for single-target damage, and the Infernal the best when there are multiple targets. |
||
| − | ** [[Shadow Bite]] (Felhunter) damage and effect has doubled. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Warriors === |
||
| − | * [[Charge]] and [[Intercept]] no longer have diminishing returns on their stun effects. |
||
| − | * [[Colossus Smash]] now ignores 70% of an opponent's armor, down from 100%. |
||
| − | * [[Heroic Throw]] is now available from trainers at level 20. |
||
| − | * [[Inner Rage]] is now available at level 56. |
||
| − | * [[Intercept]] now has a 1.5-second stun, down from 3 seconds. |
||
| − | * [[Overpower]] damage has been increased to 140% weapon damage, up from 125%. |
||
| − | * [[Pummel]] is now usable in all stances. |
||
| − | * [[Rallying Cry]] (new ability) is available from trainers at level 83. It temporarily grants the warrior and all party or raid members within 30 yards 20% of maximum health for 10 seconds. After the effect expires, the health is lost. It has no cost, no stance requirements, and is not on the global cooldown. It has a 3-minute cooldown, but also shares a cooldown with [[Last Stand]]. |
||
| − | * [[Shield Bash]] has been removed from the game. |
||
| − | * [[Spell Reflection]] cooldown has been increased to 25 seconds, up from 10. |
||
| − | * [[Whirlwind]] now has its cooldown reduced by 6 seconds when it deals damage to 4 or more targets. The Whirlwind effect caused by [[Bladestorm]] remains unchanged. |
||
| − | * Talent Specializations |
||
| − | ** Arms |
||
| − | *** [[Improved Hamstring]] now reduces the global cooldown on [[Hamstring]] by 0.5/1 seconds in addition to its current effects. |
||
| − | *** [[Improved Slam]] increases [[Slam]] damage by 20/40%, up from 10/20%. |
||
| − | *** [[Juggernaut (warrior talent)]] no longer adds 2 seconds to the [[Charge]] stun, but instead lowers the cooldown of Charge by 2 seconds (to 13 seconds total without the glyph). |
||
| − | *** [[Lambs to the Slaughter]] now causes Mortal Strike to refresh [[Rend]] in addition to its current effects. |
||
| − | *** [[Mortal Strike]] damage has been increased to 175% weapon damage, up from 150%. |
||
| − | *** [[Strikes of Opportunity]] damage has been increased by 10% to keep stat parity with other strike changes. |
||
| − | ** Fury |
||
| − | *** [[Flurry (warrior talent)]] haste bonus has been doubled to 16/32/50%. |
||
| − | *** [[Raging Blow]] damage has been increased back to 120% weapon damage, up from 100%. |
||
| − | *** [[Unshackled Fury]] now only grants 2 base points of [[mastery]], down from 8. This change offsets the Flurry boost to better control Fury burst damage. |
||
| − | ** Protection |
||
| − | *** [[Shield Mastery]] no longer affects the cooldown of Spell Reflection, however, it now allows [[Shield Block]] to proc a second aura that reduces magic damage by 7/14/20% for 6 seconds. |
||
| − | *** [[Gag Order]] now only affects [[Heroic Throw]]. |
||
| − | * Glyphs |
