General
Icecrown Citadel
- The Forge of Souls, the first wing of the 5-player dungeon, is currently available for testing.
- Additional Icecrown Citadel dungeon and raid content will be made available in future test builds.
- Dazed: Creatures attacking a player from behind can no longer cause players level 1-5 to be dazed, and have a reduced chance to cause players level 6-10 to be dazed.
- Copied Test Realm characters will no longer be copied with their achievement history in order to better facilitate the character copy process.
Classes Generall
- Default Equipment: Starting weapons are now more uniform. Rogues now start with a pair of daggers equipped. All other classes except shamans start with a 2-handed weapon equipped and the required skill already known. Shamans start with a 1-handed weapon and a shield, as they benefit more from the shield than they would from a 2-handed weapon.
- Glancing Blows: The mage, warlock, and priest classes no longer have an increased chance for their melee attacks to be glancing blows; and the damage penalty due to their glancing blows is the same as for other classes.
- Health and Mana Regeneration: These regeneration rates have been increased by up to 200% for low level characters. As a player's level increases, the regeneration rates gradually reduce, returning to normal rates at level 15.
- Spell Mana Costs: These costs have been reduced for almost all lower level spell ranks. In general, if a spell decreased in cost with a higher level rank in patch 3.2.0, that spell now has the decreased cost at all ranks. In addition, spells learned before level 20 with reduced cast times and/or durations have even further reduced mana costs, proportionate to their reduction in cast time or damage.
Races General
- Racial Attribute Bonuses: These bonuses have been recalibrated to even out the amount of starting health on the various races. All races start with a standardized level of stamina, except for orcs, dwarves, and tauren who now start with 1 extra point of stamina. For each class, bonuses and penalties to all attributes have been adjusted so that each race has an equal attribute total.
Paladin
Holy
- Holy Shock, Holy Light , Consecration, Exorcism, Greater Blessing of Wisdom, Holy Wrath, Flash of Light, Blessing of Wisdom had the mana cost of their lower ranks reduced.
Protection
- Avenger's Shield, Holy Shield had the mana cost of their lower ranks reduced.
Retribution
- Blessing of Might, Greater Blessing of Might, Hammer of Wrath had the mana cost of their lower ranks reduced.
- Seal of Corruption/Vengeance now deals [ 13% of AP + 6.5% of Spell Power ] instead of [ 15% of AP + 7.8% of Spell Power ]
"Seal of Corruption's tooltip incorrectly stated that it did higher damage than it actually did. It actually did (and still does) the same damage as Seal of Vengeance. Vengeance's tooltip did not have the error. We changed Corruption's tooltip to be correct. Actual damage did not change. You were not nerfed. " -Ghostcrawler
