Patch 1.11

[Maube]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- 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.

- Logging back in after a disconnect from the server has been greatly

improved, and players should now rarely receive the message "A

character with that name already exists."

- 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 (e.g. Impact,

Improved Shadow Bolt, Aftermath, etc.)

- Spell and Item Auras with Charges: These auras will now correctly

remember their number of charges when you enter or leave an instance,

change continents, or log out.

- All controlled units will now be titled based on the creature type.

All beasts will be referred to as Pets, for example (no matter how

they are controlled). Previously, there were several inconsistencies.

- Beneficial spells and abilities that target multiple units will no

longer consume resources (i.e. mana, rage etc...) if they fail to

affect anyone.

- Chain targeted spells and abilities (e.g. Multi-shot, Cleave, Chain

Lightning) will no longer land if target cannot be seen by the caster

due to stealth or invisibility.

- Character model transparency has been modified to fix an issue where

PC's would appear to have a large hole in their model (be on the

lookout!).

- Optimization code known as "M2Faster" is now enabled by default.

M2Faster can improve performance in crowded scenes when "Vertex

Animation Shaders" is turned on. This function can be turned off by

setting M2Faster to "0" in the config.wtf.

Reduces the unique number of vertex shader permutations that we will

choose to use in rendering

Sorts the drawing of items in the scene a little differently to

reduce the number of times we re-program the vertex shader hardware.

PVP

- In an effort to keep their armies better outfitted the Horde and

Alliance have both taken it upon themselves to update their available

rewards.

An updated set of armor rewards have been added to vendors for Honor

ranks 7, 8, and 10.

The armor rewards for Honor ranks 12 and 13 have been increased in

level and stat point allocation.

New rank 14 weapons have been added! In order to give casters the

same diversity of selection that melee currently enjoy we have added

new caster items that are available to be purchased by Grand

Marshals and High Warlords.

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.

- Warsong Gulch - Epic leggings have been added to the Warsong Outrider

and Silverwing Sentinel supply officers for all armor types. These

items require Exalted status with their respective reputations.

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.

for mages.

Paladins

- Benediction: This talent will no longer incorrectly provide a double

discount to Seal of Justice.

- Blessing of Light: It is no longer possible for a target to appear to

have multiple ranks of Blessing of Light. These multiple auras had no

beneficial effect, merely causing confusion. Problems with targeting

the spell when the caster has Blessing of Light effect on them have

also been fixed.

- Divine Favor: It is no longer possible to cast this immediately after

a healing spell and "retroactively" make it a critical hit.

- Illumination: When several critical effect healing spells are cast

very quickly, you will now receive the correct mana refund for each

one.

Charm. In addition, when this spell is resisted it will no longer

erroneously still do damage.

target, the Recently Shielded aura will now appear on the correct

target instead of yourself.

- Spirit of Redemption: This spell has a number of fixes: Spirit of

Redemption form now has casting animations. Priests prematurely

leaving battlegrounds with this aura on will now receive the Deserter

debuff (as intended); Priests in Spirit of Redemption form at the

completion of a battleground will have the aura removed without

dying; It will now work correctly with the Darkmoon Card Twisting

Nether item, resurrecting you after Spirit of Redemption has run its

course; If you should die underwater the Spirit of Redemption will no

longer have a breath bar appear; the Warlock Drain Soul spell will

terminate producing 1 shard when the Priest switches to Spirit of

Redemption form; You will no longer have to wait 30 seconds for

graveyard resurrection upon your first death while using Spirit of

Redemption.

- Vampiric Embrace: This ability will no longer heal for damage caused

when the target had no life remaining.

- Shadowguard: This Troll Priest racial spell now works with Vampiric

- Searing Totem: This totem now receives increased damage from effects

Warriors

the ability is used.

the final rank. Chance to stun at each rank changed to 15/30/45%.

It generates more threat per rage and more damage per rage than it

did previously.

- Sweeping Strikes: This spell has a number of fixes: When used in

conjunction with Execute and the second victim is below 20% health,

they will be hit with the full Execute amount. If the second victim

is not below 20% health, they will be hit with normal melee swing

damage; If the ability you are using does not deal damage, it will

not use a charge of Sweeping Strikes; The extra attack it generates

when used with Whirlwind now has the correct damage range; The

additional attacks generated by this ability will now properly take

into account the armor of the second target.

Items

- We have re-evaluated the mechanics of consumable items in the game

and concluded that these should work in a more intuitive manner. As

such, most items that can not be equipped with right click abilities

have been streamlined into one of three categories. Using an item of

a particular category will trigger a shared cooldown among all other

items in the same category. The categories break down as follows with

category cooldowns as listed.

Potions 2 minutes: This includes items such as Health Potion, Mana

Potion, Invisibility Potion and Mighty Rage Potion.

Aggressive 1 minute: This includes items such as explosives, Really

Sticky Glue and Discombobulator Ray.

Non-Aggresive 2 minutes: This includes items such as Healthstone,

Night Dragon's Breath, Whipper Root Tuber and Target Dummy.

- Many items that can be equipped have had their cooldown category

removed and will be controlled exclusively by the item's self

cooldown. For example, the Gnomish Mind Control Cap should no longer

trigger the cooldown of the Talisman of Arathor.

- We have re-evaluated the class specific quest rewards for both

Zul'Gurub and Ahn'Qiraj Ruins. To bring them more in line with the

effort required to attain them we have upgraded the superior items to

epic quality.

set to better explain it's function

the ghost leatherworker of Silithus for those with high Cenarion

Circle reputation.

on those weapons.

mechanic so using grenades in conjunction with other stuns (such as

Hammer of Justice) may give you diminishing returns.

The materials used in sapper charges have become less stable and now

on occasion sapper charges will only affect the user lighting them

on fire for a period of time.

A player is now much more likely to break out of the The Reckless

Charge effect of the Rocket Helmet early. This is to maintain

consistency with all other effects that take control away from a

player (Sheep, Stun, Hibernate, etc...). This change only affects

players, there is no change in using it against monsters.

When a Paladin is replaced by their Evil Twin due to transporter

malfunction, they can no longer revert to their normal self using

Raids and Dungeons

- Release timers have been be removed from instances. This includes

dungeons, battlegrounds, and raid instances.

- Instituted an anti-exploit measure on certain encounters (almost

entirely raid bosses). These encounters will prevent people from

zoning into the instance while that encounter is engaged. If you

attempt to zone into the instance while that encounter is engaged,

you will be resurrected at the outside entrance. We will be making

adjustments to the entrances to Molten Core and Blackwing Lair to

accommodate this change. Combat resurrections, soulstones,

reincarnate, etc. will still work fine. This is primarily to combat

graveyard rushing in instances.

- Zul'Gurub

Class specific armor quests given by the Zandalarian trolls of

Yojamba Isle no longer require Bijous or coins for completion. Armor

quests now only require a Primal Hakkari piece and appropriate

faction with Zandalar.

Class specific enchantments given by Zanza the Restless no longer

require Arcanum (Librams) from Dire Maul. The requirements have been

changed to items found within Zul'Gurub. Speak with Zanza the

Restless for more information.

The various clan speakers (Bloodscalp Speaker, Sandfury Speaker,

etc) have had their hit points reduced considerably.

Zandalarian Armor Replacement - Due to the changes made to the armor

rewards from the Paragons of Power quests, the trolls of Yojamba

Isle will now offer to replace pieces of armor that have been lost

or deleted.

After careful consideration we have decided to add an additional

loot table to the High Priests of Zul'Gurub. Players should now see

two items in addition to the tokens when slaying these bosses.

When Hakkar gains the Berserk effect, Hakkar will now emote that he

is berserk instead of emoting that he is enraged.

- Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj

Ossirian the Unscarred - There is a new crystal that will be visible

before the encounter begins. Players can use this crystal just like

any other crystal in the encounter, but it cannot come back up

during the encounter.

Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj Class Set Reward Replacement - Due to the changes

made to the rewards from the Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj class set quests,

players can obtain replacements for lost or deleted quest rewards

less predictable than before

will get an error message and be able to reassign the loot

- Text that a raid leader sends to chat will now be displayed in a

different color and will have the [Raid Leader] label.

leaders and assistants. Text that is sent to this channel will appear

in the center of the screen for all players in the raid. The channel

is called Raid Warning and text can be sent to it with "/rw"

- Raid leaders now have a Ready Check button on their raid interface.

This can also be sent with /readycheck from the chat line. A Ready

Check sends an "Are you ready?" window with Yes/No buttons to all

players in the raid. The raid leader will get feedback in 30 seconds

on all the players who were not ready or who did not respond.

- Players now have a Raid Info button on their raid interface that

functions the same way /raidinfo worked before. This function will

display a pane showing all of the raid instances that a player is

saved to, rather than displaying it to the chat window.

- Players in a party may now select an option that allows them to all

currently open instances.

You only get the reset all instances option if you are a party

leader.

The UI option appears if you are a party leader, you have one or

more instances open, and you are not currently in an instance.

The UI option is a right-click option off of your own portrait (like

party loot options).

You get a warning dialogue when you select this option asking if you

really want to reset all instances.

If you select reset all instances, all non-raid instances will be

reset to their starting condition.

- Auction Search Results.

It should say "Searching for Items" when it is still seeking results.

It should only say "No Items Found" when it has completed a search

and not gotten any hits from your criteria.

items that you are carrying whether you have them equipped or not.

- Parties and Raids now can mark targets for their party/raid in the

gamefield. A party leader or raid leader/assistant can right-click the

portrait of their target to select a symbol to associate with that

target. All players in the party/raid will see the selected symbol

over the head of the target as well as on the portrait of that target.

- Players can now turn on the "Target of Target" in the Raid and Party

section of the interface options. When this is turned on, anytime a

player is in a party or raid, it will show the portrait and health of

up you can cast spells on the target of target without targeting it

directly.

will pulse the appropriate color for 30 seconds or until the effect

is removed.

UI Scripting

- Frame XML Change - There is a new "clampToScreen" attribute, which

will prevent the frame from being dragged off the screen.

- Button XML Changes

The button implementation has been changed from three fontstrings

to a single fontstring with three font objects. This is more

efficient, uses less memory, and reduces the complexity of defining

a button. To support this, the existing NormalText, HighlightText,

and DisabledText elements have been deprecated (though they will

still work in 1.11 for backwards compatibility), and new elements

ButtonText, NormalFont, HighlightFont, and DisabledFont are defined

to replace them.

- New API Functions

SetCursor() can now be passed a 32x32 texture filename, as well as a

cursor mode, or nil to reset the cursor.

GetAddOnMetadata("addon", "field") - returns the value of the

following fields in the addon TOC file: Title, Notes, Author,

Version, and any field starting with X-

- Region Script Object - Region is the base object type for all frames,

textures and fontstrings. Region is also the type of object returned

"Region".

All regions have the following member functions:

Hey I just saw these additions on the WoW site?!

World of Warcraft Client Patch 1.11.0 (web-only notes)

General

The Looking For Group channel is now global.

Escape Artist now displays a message in the combat log when it fails.

PvP

Significant changes to the battleground Deserter debuff. The debuff should no longer be applied to characters incorrectly.

Mage

Evocation - Cool down reduced to 8 minutes.

Pyroblast - Cool down removed.

Shaman

Frostbrand and Flametongue weapon buffs are benefited by +spell damage.

Edited June 20, 2006 by Chrysalia

[Fomor]

Now if only priests could get one single instant damage(non channeled) spell... like hey! If our blast spell worked like everyone else's!

[Huato]

I'm happy so far with the patch...lots of cool new stuff, and the Shaman review for my build was great!

My flametongue and frost brand wepon buffs plus my totems all benefit from + damage now...windfury nerf? No problem. I'll just do fire or frost damage on swings instead...and I'm seeing fire damage in the 230 to 260 range with flametongue.

[Maube]

yeah... feels like mages were nerfed...

I dont Crit as much... and my damage seems dampened

[Huato]

I hope they weren't nerfed...I'm really enjoying my mage, even at level 13.

Our run in Strath last night was crit city for me...I couldn't believe it. Not sure if it was just a lot of luck or what.

[Houli]

*prays for a decent rogue review*

[Chrysalia]

My numbers have gone up actually, but only because I cant complete the new pvp set until I get rank 10 again, so I have enough set pieces to get the 2 piece bonus from the old set, the 2 piece bonus from the new set and the 3 piece bonus from Arcanist!

I just dont think I can ever grind back up to 10. But well see...

[Huato]

You've got a few of us that are willing to make that grind with ya Chrys!
