- World of Warcraft Client Patch 1.11.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shadow of the Necropolis
Floating above the Plaguelands, the necropolis known as Naxxramas
serves as the seat of one of the Lich King's most powerful officers,
the dreaded lich Kel'Thuzad. Horrors of the past and new terrors yet
to be unleashed are gathering inside the necropolis as the Lich
King's servants prepare their assault. The Scourge marches again...
Naxxramas is the new 40-man raid dungeon that will present even the
most experienced and powerful players with an epic challenge.
General
- The cost to unlearn talents will now decay over time. This cost will
be reduced by a rate of 5 gold per month to a minimum of 10 gold.
- After a disconnect from the server, it is now possible to log back
in immediately, instead of receiving the message, "A character with
that name already exists."
- Chain targeted spells and abilities (e.g. Multi-shot, Cleave, Chain
Lightning) will no longer hit stealthed or invisible units unless
visible to the caster.
- Fear: The calculations to determine if Fear effects should break due
to receiving damage have been changed. The old calculation used the
base damage of the ability. The new calculation uses the final amount
of damage dealt, after all modifiers. In addition, the chance for a
damage over time spell to break Fear is now significantly lower. Note
that Fear continues to be roughly three times as likely to break on
player targets as on non-player targets. In addition, Intimidating
Shout now follows that player versus non-player distinction, while
previously it did not.
- Periodic Healing: Spells which do periodic healing will now have
their strength determined at the moment they are cast. Changing the
amount of bonus healing you have during the duration of the periodic
spell will have no impact on how much it heals for.
- Reflection: Effects which cause reflection will no longer reflect
triggered effects separately from their base effects (eg. Impact,
Improved Shadow Bolt, Aftermath, etc.)
- Optimization code known as "M2Faster" is now enabled by default.
M2Faster can improve performance in crowded scenes when "Vertex
Animation Shaders" is turned on.
Battlegrounds
- Alterac Valley
Most of the NPC guard units have been removed.
Players now drop more quest items.
Creatures that remain in Alterac Valley have had their hit points
reduced.
The buff that is periodically cast by each faction's Captain has
been changed to a flat 20% hit point buff.
Upgrading troops through armor scrap turn-ins will also now result
in your team's General enabling a periodic buff to your melee and
spell damage.
This buff scales from 10% at the Seasoned unit level, 20% at the
Veteran unit level, and 30% at the Champion unit level.
Druids
- Innervate: This spell is now a base ability for all Druids, trainable
at level 40. Any Druid who formerly had the Innervate talent now has
the Swiftmend talent instead.
- Nature's Grace: You will no longer consume this effect when casting a
spell which was made instant by Nature's Swiftness.
- Swiftmend: This new talent has been added to the Druid Restoration
tree, replacing Innervate as the 31 point ultimate talent. It
consumes a Rejuvenation or Regrowth aura to produce an instant heal.
- Enrage: Tooltip edited to clarify functionality.
Hunters
- Counterattack (Survival Talent) - All ranks of this talent will now
share the same cooldown.
- Scorpid Poison: Duration slightly lengthened.
- Changed the way hunter pet family armor bonuses and penalties are
applied to allow the exact value from the Natural Armor talent to be
applied correctly. This may result in a very slight loss of armor to
some pets (less than a third of a percent).
- Improved Scorpid Sting: The aura from this Sting will now be removed
(as intended) when a different Sting aura is placed on the victim.
Mages
- Due to significant talent changes, mages will have all talent points
refunded and can be respent. Training costs for all talent spell
replacements have been significantly reduced.
- Arcane Explosion is now instant cast and will no longer remove the
Presence of Mind effect when used.
- Evocation - Is now available to all mages (via trainer), starting at
level 20.
- Conjure Food now has a new rank (Rank 7) available in Stratholme.
- Frost Ward now has a new rank (Rank 5) available as item loot in
dungeons.
- Mana Shield - Damage taken will now be absorbed by other absorb
spells (e.g. Ice Barrier, Power Word: Shield) before being absorbed
by Mana Shield.
- Dampen Magic - Damage and healing reduction increased on ranks 3
through 5.
- Amplify Magic - Damage and healing bonus increased on ranks 2
through 4.
- Counterspell - Fixed a bug that made Counterspell unresistable.
- Winter's Chill - Changed to increase crit chance by 1% per stack, but
stacks up to 10 times (previously 2% max 5 times).
- Improved Scorch - Duration of Fire Vulnerability increased to 30
seconds (previously 15 secs).
- Blast Wave: The bonus this spell receives from effects that increase
spell damage has been increased.
- Cold Snap: This talent will now always clear the cooldown for Frost
Ward, even if the cooldown was triggered by casting Fire Ward.
- Cone of Cold: The bonus this spell receives from effects that
increase spell damage has been increased.
- Fire Ward: The amount of damage absorbed by this ward was increased
substantially on all ranks.
- Frost Ward: The amount of damage absorbed by this ward was increased
substantially on all ranks.
- Arcane Power: This ability will no longer stack with Power Infusion.
If you gain both at the same time, Arcane Power will take precedence.
- Added a new level 60 quest available from Archmage Xylem in Azshara
for mages.
- Fire Ruby now has a sell value and can be disenchanted.
