Classes: General
Crowd Control
Many crowd control abilities no longer cause creatures to attack players when they are cast. The creature will not attack the player when the crowd control wears off, and nearby creatures will not become hostile to the player either. However, if a visible player gets too close to the target creature, the creature will remember and attack the player when the crowd control effect wears off. The intent is to make it easier for dungeon groups to manage crowd control assignments and pulling packs of hostile NPCs. The abilities affected by this change are: Hibernate, Entangling Roots, Wyvern Sting (will still cause hostility when it begins to deal damage), Freezing Trap, Polymorph, Repentance, Shackle Undead, Blind, Hex, Bind Elemental, Banish, Seduction.
Druid (Forums / Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)
Druids now gain 1 attack power per point of Strength, down from 2. They continue to gain 2 attack power per point of Agility while in Cat Form or Bear Form.
Entangling Roots and the equivalent spell triggered by Nature's Grasp no longer deal damage.
Innervate now grants an ally target 5% of his or her maximum mana over 10 seconds, but still grants 20% of the druid's maximum mana over 10 seconds when self-cast.
Balance
Insect Swarm now generates 8 Lunar Energy for druids with Eclipse.
Moonfire now generates 8 Solar Power for druids with Eclipse.
Sunfire now generates 8 Lunar Energy for druids with Eclipse.
Glyphs
Glyph of Innervate now causes the druid to gain 10% of his or her maximum mana over 10 seconds when Innervate is used on a friendly target, in addition to Innervate's base effect.
Mage (Forums / Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)
Ring of Frost now has a 1.5-second cast time.
Paladin (Forums / Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)
Holy
Beacon of Light can no longer be dispelled.
Speed of Light now increases movement speed when Holy Radiance or Divine Protection are cast.
Priest (Forums / Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)
Priest Bug Fixes
Players will no longer prematurely cancel a channeled spell when clicking on the Lightwell.
Rogue (Forums / Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)
Blind duration against enemy NPCs is now 1 minute, while the duration against players remains 8 seconds.
Stealth now once again begins its cooldown once the rogue leaves Stealth.
Warlock (Forums / Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)
Warlock Bug Fixes
It is no longer possible to leave combat while channeling Drain Soul.
Warrior (Forums / Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)
Overpower now has a 1.5-second cooldown and global cooldown (Taste for Blood's Overpower cooldown has not changed).
Retaliation, Recklessness and Shield Wall no longer have stance requirements.
Dungeons & Raids
Dungeon Journal is in the process of being implemented. While some UI elements may exist in the current Public Test Realm build, the feature is not yet complete.
Guilds
The Reins of the Dark Phoenix, purchased from the Guild Vendor, has had its art improved. It's now less transparent and indisputably more awesome.
PvP
Battlegrounds
Eye of the Storm has been added into the rotation as a 10-man Rated Battleground. The tug-of-war style capture points have been replaced with Arathi Basin style capture points to better support 10v10 competition. This change applies only to Rated Battlegrounds. Eye of the Storm is otherwise still a 15-player Battleground with tug-of-war style capture points.
War Games
Many improvements are being made to the War Games interface, though the changes are not yet fully functional.
User Interface
Characters can now be reorganized at the Character Selection screen. This feature not yet fully functional and the reorganization of characters doesn't save at this time.
The cast bar can now be moved to display below the Character frame.
Move Pad is a mouse-click interface for movement which is now built into the base interface.
Eine sehr passendes Statement zu den Änderungen im CC habe ich auf http://wownoob.blog.de/ gelesen
Es ist halt mal wieder eine Änderung für Deppen: [Ironie] Es ist ja wirklich zu viel verlangt, erst dann zu sheepen, wenn Sap und Eisfalle sitzen, oder darauf zu achten, dass man möglichst gleichzeitig seine CC-Casts spricht. [/Ironie]
Ich stelle mir da gerade so den typischen Mob vor: "Oh, Billy ist plötzlich ein Eisblock. Ach ja, sowas passiert halt. Und warum ist Mike jetzt plötzlich ein Schaf? Egal, wird schon nichts passieren. Hm, jetzt ist Jack ein Frosch. Was ist hier los? Hm, lieber mal abwarten. He, da steht ein Krieger 10 Meter weiter, jetzt renn ich mal los!"
Bisher waren die Mobs ja intelligent. "Da macht wer was mit meinem Kumpel, datt darf der nich'! Angriff!"
Ich habe das Gefühl, dass Blizzard die Intelligenz der Mobs auf den Wert der durchschnittlichen PvP-Spieler herunterpatcht: "Leute, macht mal mehr Damage auf den Krieger mit den zwei Priestern dahinter ...!"
Ich persönlich empfinde diese Änderung als sehr peinlich. Ich bin überrascht, dass dies wirklich nötig ist, damit scheinbar einige endlich auch CC ordentlich nutzen können.
Wenn ich nicht dazu in der Lage bin, einen Cast mit einem anderen Mitspieler auf circa 2 Sekunden! zu synchronisieren (keine Ausrede bei kleinen Lags), dann sollte ich doch lieber bei 1vs1 Spielen oder Offline gegen den Computer bleiben.
