- World of Warcraft Client Patch 1.5.0 (2005-06-07)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Battlegrounds arrive!
The Warsong Gulch and Alterac Valley battlegrounds are now available.
The Warsong Gulch entrances may be found in the northern Barrens near
the Mor'Shan Rampart (Horde) and south of Silverwing Outpost in
Ashenvale (Alliance). The Alterac Valley entrances may be found east
of Sofera's Naze in Alterac (Horde), and in the Headlands of Alterac
(Alliance).
General
- Wands - The Shoot Wand ability is now a toggle. While active, it will
continue attacking with the equipped wand until some other action is
taken (movement, spellcasting, item use, etc...).
- Pet speed has been increased when out of combat and following their
master.
- Berserking (Troll Racial) - Updated tooltip to clarify ability only
usable following a melee critical.
- Hardiness (Orc Racial) - Fixed a bug that caused many abilities to
ignore the additional resistance.
- It should no longer be possible to disarm traps created by friendly
players.
PvP
- Honor system
Dishonorable kills - gained by killing a trivial Civilian NPC - now
has a negative impact on a player's honor. Enough dishonorable kills
will reduce a player's rank all the way to zero.
Players may now see an "estimated contribution point value" in the
combat log for an honorable kill. Note that this value does not
take diminishing returns against the same player into account, and
is therefore "estimated".
"Team Contribution Points" has been renamed to "Honor"
Added tooltips to the different elements of the Honor System UI.
Players will see their last week's kill data in the "Last Week"
section of the Honor System UI even if they did not achieve the 25
honorable kills required to gain standing or rank.
Fixed a bug where the PvP trinket rewards were not always removing
the effects they were designed to remove (e.g. Polymorph, Fear,
Stun).
- Sitting characters will now stand up immediately after an attack,
even if stunned.
- Players can no longer swap inventory gear while dueling.
- Dueling is now allowed within Everlook.

It should also be noted that Hunters that attempt to bypass the
single player portion of the encounter by using another class to do
their tasks will fail the quest in a most glorious fashion.
- Tranquilizing Shot - Is now properly affected by Efficiency and Hawk
Eye talents.
- Unleashed Fury - Fixed a bug where the damage increase was lower than
stated in the tooltip. It should now increase damage by the listed
amount.

- Volley - Damage increased.
- Pet speed has been increased when out of combat and following their
master.
- Spirit Guides in Battlegrounds will now summon/resurrect your current

where their pet only partially exists. Unstabled dead pets can now be
properly revived, and players can no longer train more pets than
their stable can hold.
- Fixed a bug where magic shots were missing too frequently when used
on a target with Blessing of Protection active.
Mages
- Mage Armor - Now has a new, unique icon.
Paladins
- Fixed a bug where a Hunter's magic shots were missing too frequently
when used on a target with Blessing of Protection active.
Priests
- Inner Fire - Now stacks with other effects that increase attack power
and armor.
- Holy Nova - Cooldown decreased.
- Feedback - Casting a higher rank of the spell will now replace an
existing, lower level effect.
- Unbreakable Will - Fixed a bug that caused many abilities to ignore
the additional resistance.
Rogues
- Riposte - Fixed a bug where the ability was not usable against a
disarmed or unarmed target.
- Vanish - Should be a lot more responsive when used to avoid incoming
attacks.
Shaman
- Fixed a bug where Fire Nova, Flametongue, Stoneclaw and Windfury
Totems had incorrect level caps when cast by higher level shaman.
All totems should now be summoned at the level of the caster.
- Flametongue Totem - Tooltip updated to clarify that only the
main-hand weapon is enchanted.
- Windfury Totem - Tooltip updated to clarify that only the main-hand
weapon is enchanted.
- Fire Resistance Totem - New icon.
- Frost Resistance Totem - New icon.

to be "grounded" and/or destroy the totem.
Warlocks
- Improved Drain Mana - Damage caused is now considered Shadow damage
and is no longer reduced by armor.
- Improved Voidwalker - Now increases all Voidwalker spells (now also
including Sacrifice) by 10/20/30%.
- Improved Succubus - Now increases Succubus spells by 10/20/30%.
- Master Summoner - In addition to decreasing casting time of summoning
the Imp, Voidwalker, Succubus and Felhunter, it now reduces mana cost
by 20/40%.
- Improved Enslave Demon - In addition to reducing the attack speed and
casting speed penalty of enslaved demons, it now reduces the resist
chance of Enslave Demon by 2/4/6/8/10%.
- Demonic Sacrifice - Is now instant cast.
- Improved Firestone - Now also improves the bonus Fire spell damage of
Firestones by 15/30%.
- Inferno - The summoned Infernal will now be enslaved for 5 minutes
before turning on its summoner.

Mana (Rank 4), making it consistent with all other ranks of the spell.

master.
- Honorable kills will now generate a Soul Shard when Drain Soul and
Shadowburn are used.

Voidwalker, Succubus or Felhunter. If the Doomguard or Infernal were
the last active pet or the previous pet was killed before the Warlock,
an Imp will be summoned.
- Improved Curse of Agony - Fixed a bug where Curse of Agony (rank 1)
was not improved by the talent. The talent will now work properly
with all ranks of Curse of Agony.
Warriors
- Overpower - Fixed a bug where the ability was sometimes blocked.
- Improved Cleave - Now increases damage bonus by 40/80/120%.
- Blood Craze - Talent design changed. It now regenerates 1/2/3% of
the warrior's total health over 6 seconds after being the victim of a
critical strike.
- New Fury Talent: Dual Wield Specialization - Increases damage with
the off-hand weapon by 5/10/15/20/25%. Note: the additional damage
also increases rage generation significantly.
- Iron Will - Fixed a bug that caused many abilities to ignore the
additional resistance.
- Enrage - Increased the number of charges to 12. Decreased the
duration to 12 seconds. The new duration is the limiting factor for
slower weapons (e.g. Arcanite Reaper will typically get one less
swing), while dual wielding and faster weapons will make better use
of all of the charges over the duration of the ability.
- Concussion Blow - Changed to an instant, stunning attack and removed
the damage portion.
- Shield Specialization - In addition to increasing % chance to block,
it now gives the warrior a 20/40/60/80/100% chance to generate 1 rage
on a successful block.

one for goblin engineers. Gnomish engineers can get their recipe
from Gadgetzan, Goblin engineers from Everlook.

to relearn what you once knew!

Raids & Dungeons

quite enraged until they move closer to Garr.
The eruptions from the lava in Ragnaros's Lair will now always
happen while Ragnaros is in combat. However, these lava eruptions
occur less frequently, do less damage, and the damage they inflict
is now resistable.
The maximum range of the Wrath of Ragnaros spell has been increased.
- Additional new raid items have been added to the treasure lists for
Azuregos, Lord Kazzak, and bosses in Molten Core.
- Onyxia - Fixed a bug that was causing Onyxia's Tail sweep to no
longer cause knockback.
Quests

will be happy to know that the Thorium Brotherhood has opened up many
new opportunities to gain favor amongst their clan (even for level
60 players).

located on the eastern coastline. Horde players level 44-52 are
encouraged to visit Revantusk Village and assist the Revantusk with
their myriad problems and tasks!

stockpiles of various textile resources! Donations of cloth are now

join a meeting stone directly from the innkeeper rather than going to
the location of the meeting stone. Also these Innkeepers will now
have background lore about each of the dungeons.
- Levels Required for meeting stones have been increased. The intent is
that a group will not receive party members from a meeting stone that
don't really have a chance of completing the dungeon.
- Meeting Stones have had their rules for what players are grouped with
what other players relaxed. This means groups who use meeting stones
(or innkeepers) should have their groups formed much more quickly
than they were previously.

disenchanted.

full, they no longer come to life wherever their ghost happens to be
standing. Instead, they get ported to the closest graveyard.

bank bags without any mysterious error messages.

window and remove the borders for a fullscreen experience which
allows popup windows.
- Trying to use a hearthstone, consumable, etc. while logging out now
displays a more appropriate message: "Another action is in progress."

been tampered with or corrupted. This is to improve account security
in public game rooms.

system.

to war with them.

ensure that the spirits of dead characters go to the closest

PvP Honor System
The Player versus Player Honor System is now active. Players will be
able to gain rankings based on their PvP performance, with lucrative
rewards for those who distinguish themselves on the field of battle!
Read more about the PvP Honor system.
Children's Week
Children's Week is celebrated in Orgrimmar and Stormwind City at the
start of May and lasts for a week. It is a time to give back to the
innocents of war: the orphans!
Gurubashi Arena event
There is now a regular event in Gurubashi Arena in Stranglethorn
Vale. Every three hours starting at midnight, a pirate with too
much treasure on his hands will drop a chest in the center of the
arena. Whoever can open the chest first gets the contents! Of course,
the arena is a PvP Free for All area, so there might be other players
who are trying to open it first...
Elemental invasions!
Invasions by elementals at different locations on Kalimdor have
reportedly been occurring sporadically every few days. Concerned
adventurers should investigate Silithus, Un'Goro Crater, Azshara,
and Winterspring to counter these incursions.
General
- Charm and Polymorph mechanics can now be reactively countered by
spells and abilities (e.g. Druid Shapeshifting will now cancel
Polymorph effects).
- Mana regeneration is now disrupted when a spell has completed casting
rather than at the start of casting. It will resume normally five
seconds after the last spell cast. This change increases the total
time spent regenerating mana and therefore increases the total
contribution from Spirit for mana-based classes.
- Level 60 mounts purchased at vendors now have a whole new look.
Faster undead mounts already have a different look and so have not
changed. The new mounts can be seen standing near the mount vendors.
If you have one of the old fast mounts, you can exchange it for one
with a new look at the mount vendor.
- Healing-over-time spells should now be improved by "+Healing" items
when cast on other players.
- Mind Controlled characters will no longer receive a durability
penalty when they die.
- When a non-Hunter resurrects a pet, the pet will no longer receive
resurrection sickness.
PvP
- A handful of spells were added to the list of spells subject to
diminishing returns in PvP. It is our goal to set as few spells as
possible to be diminished. We've identified this short list of spells
as having durations and cooldowns sufficient to almost permanently
slow or immobilize targets but without adequate controls or other
limiting factors. When a spell with diminishing returns is used
against a target in PvP, the first effect has full duration. On the
second use of the same category of spell (e.g. slowing), that spell's
duration is reduced by 50%. On the third use, the duration is reduced
by 75%. On the fourth attempt, the target becomes immune to the
spell. Spells must be used on the same target within 15 seconds of the
*end* of the duration in order to be diminished. In other words, if a
target hasn't had a slowing spell active on them for more than 15
seconds, the next slowing spell will have full effect. The list of
affected spells is:
Frost Shock
Entangling Roots
Frost Nova
- Guard directions, signs and signposts have been added to point you
toward the PvP Officer Lounges in Stormwind City (Champions' Hall)
and Orgrimmar (Hall of Legends).

seconds. When it fades base melee attack power is reduced by 25% for

by the percent modifier.
- Shapeshifting into an animal form will now remove Polymorph effects.
- Feral Charge - Fixed a bug where the ability cost 10 rage instead of

- Entangling Roots - Now subject to diminishing returns in PvP. This is
considered an immobilizing effect.
Hunters
- A new Hunter epic quest series is now in the game and waiting to be
found.
- Scatter Shot (Talent) - Now usable while moving and no longer
interrupts ranged combat. Now properly reduces the ranged attack
power contribution by the percent modifier.

duration.
- New Pet Ability: Dash - Increases movement speed for a short duration.

can now be removed by poison curing effects.
- Aspect of the Cheetah/Pack - These Aspects will now be canceled when
mounted.
- Viper Sting - This spell can no longer be used on warrior and rogue
targets. In addition, while it can be used on a druid target at any
time it will only drain mana when the druid is in caster form.
Mages
- Amplify Magic and Dampen Magic effects should now replace each other
properly.
- Improved Scorch (Talent) - Redesign. Scorch spells have a
20/40/60/80/100% chance to cause your target to be vulnerable to Fire
damage. This vulnerability increases the Fire damage dealt to your
target by 2% and can be stacked up to 5 times for a total of 10%
increased Fire damage.
- New Spell: Arcane Brilliance (available at level 56 - Loot) - Infuses
the target's party with brilliance, increasing their Intellect.
- Improved Mana Shield - Design changed. Instead of increasing the
amount absorbed, it now decreases the mana lost per point of damage
taken by 10/20%.
- An error message is now displayed if you try to use Blink on boats
and zeppelins.
- Wand Specialization - Fixed a bug where the damage increase with this
talent was higher than the listed amount.
- Frost Nova - Now subject to diminishing returns in PvP. This is
considered an immobilizing effect.
- Pyroblast and Fireball damage over time will now stack together.
Paladins

final event in Scholomance for fun (and loot) by speaking with Lord

after logging out if learned before level 40.
- Resistance Auras - Paladins should now be able to switch from a

- Improved Seal of Justice - Fixed a bug that caused the talent to
have no effect. It will now increase the frequency that the stun
effect will land.
Priests
- A new Priest epic quest series is now in the game and waiting to
be found.

talents.
- Vampiric Embrace - Active icon tooltip rewritten to be more clear.
- Holy Nova - Now causes an explosion of holy light around the caster,
causing Holy damage to all enemy targets within 10 yards and healing
all party members within 10 yards. These effects now cause no threat
as opposed to reducing threat temporarily.
- Holy Fire - Several changes were made to Holy Fire in an effort to
make this a more usable and efficient damage spell. The cast time was
reduced from five seconds to four seconds, which reduces the damage
caused. Therefore, the damage was increased and more of the spell's
potency was shifted into the damage-over-time portion. The duration
was also increased and mana cost and cooldown were both decreased.
While the direct damage portion was reduced slightly from the
previous version, each tick of damage should be unchanged, and the
spell now delivers one additional tick of damage. In total, the
relative damage and efficiency of the spell has been increased.
- Wand Specialization - Fixed a bug where the damage increase with this
talent was too high.
Rogues
- Combo points will no longer be removed if the target is deselected.
They will only be removed if a different target is selected.
- Fixed a bug where combo points were not always being applied to the
target when using Cheap Shot, Ambush and Garrote.

- Ambush, Backstab, Ghostly Strike, and Riposte now properly increase
the attack power contribution by the percent modifier.
- The Kick ability prevents the target from casting spells in the same
school when channeled casting is interrupted.

Gouge effect will no longer be instantly interrupted.
- The Rogue trainers will now point the player to an appropriate area
with boxes to unlock depending on the lockpicking skill of the player.

- Riposte - Fixed a bug that prevented the ability from being used when
the target had no weapon or was already disarmed.
Shaman
- Earth Shock - The visual for ranks two through seven has been changed
to be consistent with rank one.
- Windfury - Fixed a bug that caused an additional attack beyond what
was intended. In addition, fixed a bug that caused the next normal
melee attack to happen sooner than intended.
- Level 58+ Shaman should talk to Sagorne Creststrider in Orgrimmar;
there is a special quest for them involving a dreaded death knight
who dwells in the depths of the Scholomance.
- Frost Shock - Now subject to diminishing returns in PvP. This is
considered a slowing effect.
- Grounding Totem - Should no longer redirect area effect spells or
be destroyed by area effects spells.
Warlocks
- Warlock Epic Mount quest added. To begin, speak with a demon trainer
in any of the capital cities: Kurgal, Martha Strain, Spackle
Thornberry, or Jubahl Corpseeker.

Felwood.
- The Warlock Ritual of Doom quest is now available and can be found in
the Tainted Scar.

of diminishing returns.

Items
- The following set items have had their art updated:
- Devout Crown and Mantle, Magister's Crown, Circlet of Prophecy, all

should they attempt to re-engage Azuregos. Mark of Frost is extremely
powerful and will persist through death and resurrection.
- Bael'gar, Lord Incendius, and Golem Lord Argelmach are now slightly
lower level than previously. This will provide a much better
progression of creature and boss levels in Blackrock Depths.
- The Baroness Anastari encounter has been changed. Players who become
unpossessed will now have full health, and after the Baroness
unpossesses a player there will be a much longer cooldown before she
can cast possess again. These changes should make her a more balanced
encounter for a 5 man group.
- Lava Surgers no longer respawn once you kill Garr.

chest should only spawn the FIRST time he is defeated in a saved

Onyxia have had their effective levels increased, resulting in
higher DPS weapons, and/or better stats and effects.

rewarded with new epic items. This reward will only be granted the
first time the encounter is defeated during the 6 day lifespan of
a Molten Core instance.

improved so they drop an additional epic item per kill.
* World bosses such as Onyxia, Azuregos, and Lord Kazzak will no
longer drop random blue items of a level lower than 50.
* Prior to this patch, Molten Core boss creatures could drop items
from one of two different tiered sets for every character class.
The loot tables have been changed so Molten Core bosses will now
only drop items from the lower tier class sets. However, some of
the items from those sets were not previously dropping in Molten
Core. These missing class set items will now drop in Molten Core,
allowing players to complete their lower tier class sets. The
higher tier class set pieces that once dropped in Molten Core will
be found once again in Blackwing Lair, the next raiding zone
scheduled for release in a future patch.
* Future patches will include even more item rewards for these raid
encounters, as well as improvements to the statistics, effects,
and set bonuses for both tiers of the raid armor sets.

Diremaul
Diremaul, a new dungeon for players level 56-60, is now open and
ready for business. Diremaul is populated by a fierce tribe of ogres
and is located in the western region of Feralas. Diremaul will be
limited groups of no more than five players each.
New Outdoor Raid Bosses
Two new outdoor raid bosses have been introduced to Azeroth.
Azuregos, a monstrous blue dragon, has landed in Azshara, while
Lord Kazzak the demon can be found in the Tainted Scar of the Blasted
Lands.
Meeting Stones
Meeting Stones are located outside of each dungeon to help players
find a group to adventure with in the dungeon. The meeting stone will
try to find you a viable five-person group by looking for a tank, a
healer, and so on. As time passes and you are unable to find a group,
the meeting stone will become less picky about who it groups you with.
Dungeon Player Caps
All dungeons now have a cap on group size to limit the number of
players that may enter the dungeon. It was necessary to add this cap
as raiding these dungeons trivialized much of the content. Because of
this change we can now look to adding better loot to them during future
content patches.
With that in mind, the dungeons below now have the following caps:
Onyxia/Molten Core - 40 members
Blackrock Spire - 15 members
Diremaul - 5 members
All other dungeons in the game will be capped at 10 members.
Several dungeons will be re-examined for balancing in light of this
change. In addition, will have their loot improved significatnly for
the next content patch.
General
- Previously, in many cases, a Block, Parry, or Dodge was translated
into a "Miss," thus causing confusion over actual miss rates. We've
made the following changes in an attempt to be more clear as to what
is actually happening in combat:
* Block: All creatures will now report a Block on attacks from the
front, reducing damage caused instead of converting the attack into
a "Miss." Creatures will no longer be able to Block attacks from
behind.
* Dodge: Every time a creature Dodges, it will report a Dodge. We
will no longer translate a creature's Dodge of a rear attack to a
"Miss."
* Parry: All creatures will now report a Parry on attacks from the
front instead of translating them into a "Miss." Creatures will no
longer be able to Parry attacks from behind.

normal amount of damage instead of all of it.

PvP

to members of the opposing faction.

spells and ranged attacks.

Control in duels.

main outposts are now harder to kill. Additionally, when they die,

Hawk Eye talents.

Mage
- Training costs adjusted. Total training cost was decreased.
