===General===
−
A generally aloof creator race, the titans are now a subject of significant interest on [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]], at least for the [[dwarves]] — especially the [[Explorers' Guild]]. Their part in Azeroth’s history lies far, far back in time, although [[Sargeras]] has, of course, taken a more active role in recent conflicts through the [[Burning Legion]]. There are two known races of titans ([[aesir]] and [[vanir]]). The [[Pantheon]] are the leaders of the titans and some of the universe’s most powerful entities. Their figure is humanoid but gigantic, with gleaming metallic skin and a perfection of form that makes the heart ache.<ref name="S&L107">[[Shadows & Light]], pg. 107.</ref>
  
  +
*Permanent pets no longer despawn when mounting and riding on the ground, but despawn when the player takes flight. In addition, the last used hunter pet will always be shown on the login screen even if not at the master's side when the player logged out (possibly intended for at least warlocks as well, but not working).
   
  +
====Druid====
−
Very little is known about the titans save for scraps the dwarves have unearthed and some vague [[night elf]] folklore. Few human scholars actually believed the mighty [[demigods]] even existed. Legend holds that the great ones shaped the land when the world was young, then left the world to its own devices. The ruins and buried cities that remain on Azeroth — [[Uldum]] beneath the [[Tanaris]] Desert, [[Ulduar]] beneath the [[Storm Peaks]] of [[Northrend]], and [[Uldaman]] beneath the dwarven home of [[Khaz Modan]] — are known to a few to actually be "titanic" ruins. Most mortals believed that they were only ancient ruins. There are two presumed types of titan, the stronger, smarter, more agile aesir, and the tougher but less powerful vanir. One scholar has postulated that there are other subspecies of titans. No titans have ever been spotted, and it is believed that they live among the stars where they continue to this day shaping new worlds.<ref name="S&L107"/> ''In this passage, the majority of "scholars" and the "most mortals" refers primarily, if not entirely, to humans.''
  
  +
*[[Prowl]] now once again begins its cooldown once the druid leaves Prowl. (Note: for rogues' Stealth, this is indeed in the patchnotes, but not for Prowl).
  +
*Balance druids can now move change the direction of their [[Eclipse]] meter when starting fresh (either from zoning in, or having recently died) up until they reach their first Eclipse state, at which point the eclipse meter will only move in a single direction. [[Starsurge]] will continue to select the most advantageous Eclipse, but will always prefer Solar over Lunar when starting from exactly 0 energy.
   
  +
====Hunter====
−
Each titan cultivates specific interests that relate to particular elements or energy types — essentially, to some small aspect of creation over which the titan holds a measure of dominance. Some titans refer to the piece of creation upon which they focus as their "sphere of power".
  
  +
*The initial cast of [[Misdirection]] now produces a healing sound.
   
  +
====Paladin====
−
Titans generally believe they are invincible. They wade into the thickest of battles using their most powerful abilities, or even just swinging with massive, alloyed fists. Titans with well-defined spheres of power have wildly varying combat tactics, focusing primarily upon the strengths of their spheres.<ref>[[Shadows & Light]], pg. 109.</ref>
  
  +
*Rebuke will now cause the character to perform the uppercut-animation instead of the kick-animation.<ref>http://www.wowhead.com/spell=96231#comments:40</ref>
   
−
== Types ==
 +
====Priest====
  +
*[[Divine Aegis]] now uses the same spell effect as [[Power Word: Shield]].
−
*[[Aesir]] (platinum)
  
−
*[[Vanir]] (bronze)
 +
*[[Chakra]] has a new icon.
−
Aesir and vanir are two presumed types of titans.<ref name="S&L107"/> However, it is believed that there may be other subspecies.<ref name="S&L107"/> In the game files "titans" have skins for gold, silver, stone, and ivory, in addition to bronze and platinum. These may represent additional titan subspecies.

====Warlock====
  +
*Soul Shards no longer disappear if [[Mass Resurrection]] is cast and accepted after the warlock has released.
−
Most of the known titans come from the elite, ruling sect known as the [[Pantheon]]. Little is known of the names or details of the titans, beyond these few:
  
  +
*[[Rain of Fire]] has a new spell effect.

==Items==

Chris Metzen stated in [[BlizzCast]] 12 that "Will we see actual titans one day."<ref>http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/community/blizzcast/archive/episode12.html</ref> This implies that we have not yet see any.
  
  +
*Crafted gems now stack.
  +

  +
*[[Winged Guardian]] now has a unique icon.

*The MiniZep created by [[MiniZep Controller]] can no longer fly in areas where flight is restricted, such as battlegrounds and dungeons.

  +
*New Vicious Gladiator Season 10 gear, i371, has been added as of the start date of arena season 10 on July 5th, 2011. The new gear has increased statistics to maintain the alignment between conquest purchases, Ruthless Gladiator i384, and honor purchases, the new Vicious Gladiator Season 10 i371.
  +
**The undocumented change was questioned by many who spent honor and gold (for gems, enchants, and reforging) and would have saved for an additional week had they known of the changes. Blizzard has not yet determined if or how to compensate for this change.
  +
*The names of {{Quality|Heirloom}} items now incorrectly appear in white.

−
*"The Grand Architect" - According to [[Gearmaster Mechazod]], created the first gnomes, the [[mechagnomes]]. This could be a reference to [[Khaz'Goroth]] who is believed to be the titan behind dwarves, humans, and gnomes.<ref>[[Alliance Player's Guide]]</ref> Khaz'Goroth was the architect and shaper of the lands of Azeroth. It might also refer to Mimir, a possible titan whose library contains mechagnomes.

−
[[File:Titans.jpg|thumb|Titan models]]
  
  +
* The red glow at the top of the castle towers in [[Stormwind City]] doesn't glow as much as it used to, and the wood texture of the castle tower has a newer look to it.
−
* Titans brought the concept of [[Runic Magic]] into the world.{{fact}}
  
  +
** The mini-map in this area also has had some refinements, including orange for the castle towers.
−
* They are called "Travelers" in the [[Troll Legends]].
  
  +
* A new pub, [[The Shady Lady]] has been added to Stormwind's [[Dwarven District]]. Because really, you can never have too many of those.
−
* According to some statues scattered around [[Uldaman]], the original five races of the world were [[troll]]s, [[earthen]], [[tauren]], [[mountain giant]]s, and [[sea giant]]s. The giants and the earthen were direct creations of the titans, to aid them in shaping Azeroth. It appears [[mechagnome]]s (which later became [[gnomes]]) were also created by the titans to help shape the world, but as mechagnomes resemble machines more than living organisms it is possible that the titans didn't consider them an own race. This may be the case with [[iron vrykul]] (which apparently later became normal [[vrykul]]s and [[humans]]) as well, although iron vrukyl are much similar to earthen. The [[trolls]] and [[tauren]], it would seem, were the first races to evolve, or else the first creations of the titans not charged with assisting or defending Azeroth. However, the [[dragon]]s might well predate all of them- certain passages from ''[[War of the Ancients]]'' refers to them as (in the Old Gods' minds) the "Titan's hounds". This, along with the discovery of [[Galakrond]] and the [[proto-dragon]]s, seems to prove that the dragons were created by the titans to help safeguard Azeroth. [[Furbolgs]] also have legends of seeing the coming of the titans to the world from their homeland in Northrend, implying they predate the titans as well.<ref>[[Lands of Mystery]], pg. 85.</ref> [[Murlocs]] have also been implied to predate titans.{{fact}}
  
  +
** {{npc||Quincy Cutler}}, the owner and proprietor of the Shady Lady, now sells off-hand wine glasses that could previously only be found in [[Dalaran]]. And yet, somehow he could only afford to buy the top half of his outfit.
−
* According to some sources, such as the [[Warcraft Encyclopedia]], it is said that the titans are not actually [[gods]], though they are more powerful than a number of gods encountered in Azeroth.<ref>http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/encyclopedia/417.xml</ref> Other sources such as the [[Sunwell Trilogy]] claim that they are ''"gods from the far reaches of the cosmos"''.<ref>[[Dragon Hunt]]</ref> ''[[Alliance Player's Guide]]'' says that they are akin to gods. ''[[Shadows & Light]]'' states that they are [[demigods]].<ref name="S&L107"/>
  
  +
* The alley itself of [[Cut-Throat Alley]] is no longer part of the Cut-Throat Alley subzone, which now only encompasses the empty two-story building within it.
−
* When shaping Azeroth, the titans tried out and discarded various ideas. The different "layers" or "versions" of Azeroth this progress created can be observed within the [[Emerald Dream]], according to Cenarius and Malfurion Stormrage.
  
  +
* Smaller flying [[mount]]s with legs (such as [[gryphon mounts|gryphons]], [[wyvern mounts|wyverns]] and [[hippogryph mounts|hippogryphs]]) can now swim, and have been given ground mount abilities where flying is prohibited, or when a player has not yet purchased the required flight training. Comes with appropriate movement animations for swimming and jumping. This does not include drake/dragon mounts.
−
* It is implied that the Burning Legion fears the Titans.<ref>[[The Well of Eternity]], pg. 267.</ref>
  
  +
** [[Engineer]] [[Flying Machine Control|flying]] [[Turbo-Charged Flying Machine Control|machines]], [[Tailor]] [[flying carpets]] and rockets can also swim.
−
* Some accounts of the titans give them titles such as "Patron of All Life".
  
  +
** Other legless mounts such as [[Mimiron's Head]], [[Nether ray mounts|nether rays]], and [[phoenix]] mounts cannot.
−
* Two in-game models are called "titans" in the files.
  
  +
** The [[Winged Steed of the Ebon Blade]] cannot, but this may be an oversight, or to be implemented in a later patch.
  +
* All the [[molten giant]]s (such as [[Molten Destroyer]]s, [[Molten Giant]]s (mob) and [[Golemagg the Incinerator]]) have had their model updated.
  +
* The [[Ruins of Lordaeron]] has been populated with NPCs: [[Undercity Citizen]]s, [[Kor'kron Overseer]]s, [[Apothecary Initiate]]s and [[Forsaken Apothecary|Forsaken Apothecaries]].
  +
* Some Hero's Call! and similar breadcrumb quests automatically unlock the flight paths for the destination quest hub.
   
−
== Myth ==
 +
== User Interface ==
  +
* Added a Battle.net icon in the Social Pane.
−
* The original Titans are giants or proto-gods from {{wplink|Greek mythology}} who inhabited the world during the First Era, and later ruled it during the Second Era. Their leader was Kronos. Notable titans include Rhea, Atlas, and Prometheus. Unlike their Warcraft counterparts, most of them were inherently malevolent. They were defeated by Zeus and the Olympians at the start of the Third Era.
  
  +
* Flight Points
−
* The Æsir come from {{wplink|Norse mythology|Viking (Norse) mythology}}. They are the rulers of Asgard and the more altruistic force in the universe, the greatest of them being Odin and Thor. The Vanir come from Vanaheim and are allied with the Æsir. They mostly live apart from each other, but a few Vanir have been taken into Asgard and are considered as "one of the Æsir." Both have a common enemy in the Jotnar (giants). In an interesting contrast from Blizzard's direction, which places the dwarves close to the Titans, the Vanir of Norse myth had stronger ties to the elves.
  
  +
** The map's Flight Point icon has slightly changed to make them stand out a little better.
  +
** Missing Flight Point icons has been added in the game map to multiple locations including [[Azure Watch]], [[Blood Watch]], [[Exodar]], [[Booty Bay]], [[Karnum's Glade]], [[Nethergarde Keep]], [[Flamestar Post]], [[Shattered Sun Staging Area]], [[Theramore Isle]], [[Menethil Harbor]], [[Zul'Aman]], and all [[Outland]] and [[Northrend]] zones.
  +
** Flight Point icons which were previously shown as neutral where there were individual flight masters for each faction (such as [[Cenarion Hold]] and [[Gadgetzan]]) has been changed to the faction-colored Flight Point icon.
  +
** Alliance/Neutral Flight Point icons have been slightly realigned in many locations including [[Blackfathom Camp]], [[Dolanaar]], [[Rut'theran Village]], [[Windshear Hold]] and [[Wildheart Point]].
  +
** Flight Plan icons not for your faction no longer display on the map.
  +
** A new flight point has been added at the [[Sanctuary of Malorne]].
  +
** Added Swim Point icons and Flight Point icon in [[Vashj'ir]].
  +
** Re-added Flight Point icon in [[Badlands]].
  +
* Stormwind's banner on the Elwynn Forest and Stormwind City maps has had a slight text cleanup.
  +
* The location of the Track Quest check-box on the map has moved slightly to the right.
  +
* There is a new sound effect for changing talent specialization.
  +
* The Blizzard raid frames now show an icon on a dead character who is being resurrected.
  +
* Added a map of Black Temple.
  +
* Full-grown dragons, such as {{NPC||Vaelastrasz the Corrupt}} have new portraits.

Achievements

Classes

General

  • Permanent pets no longer despawn when mounting and riding on the ground, but despawn when the player takes flight. In addition, the last used hunter pet will always be shown on the login screen even if not at the master's side when the player logged out (possibly intended for at least warlocks as well, but not working).

Druid

  • Ability druid prowl [Prowl] now once again begins its cooldown once the druid leaves Prowl. (Note: for rogues' Stealth, this is indeed in the patchnotes, but not for Prowl).
  • Balance druids can now move change the direction of their Ability druid eclipseorange [Eclipse] meter when starting fresh (either from zoning in, or having recently died) up until they reach their first Eclipse state, at which point the eclipse meter will only move in a single direction. Spell arcane arcane03 [Starsurge] will continue to select the most advantageous Eclipse, but will always prefer Solar over Lunar when starting from exactly 0 energy.

Hunter

Paladin

  • Rebuke will now cause the character to perform the uppercut-animation instead of the kick-animation.[1]

Priest

Warlock

Dungeons & Raids

Throne of the Tides

  • Medusa-lift is waiting group at shaft bottom (early group was waiting when it had down).

  • Inv mount wingedlion [Winged Guardian] now has a unique icon.
  • The MiniZep created by Inv gizmo goblingtonkcontroller [MiniZep Controller] can no longer fly in areas where flight is restricted, such as battlegrounds and dungeons. It can still fly in areas that allow flight, even if the controlling player has not learned the appropriate flight skill for the area. MiniZeps that cannot fly can still jump.
  • New Vicious Gladiator Season 10 gear, i371, has been added as of the start date of arena season 10 on July 5th, 2011. The new gear has increased statistics to maintain the alignment between conquest purchases, Ruthless Gladiator i384, and honor purchases, the new Vicious Gladiator Season 10 i371.
    • The undocumented change was questioned by many who spent honor and gold (for gems, enchants, and reforging) and would have saved for an additional week had they known of the changes. Blizzard has not yet determined if or how to compensate for this change.
  • The names of Heirloom items now incorrectly appear in white.

Professions
