2.1 PTR: 4/25/2007 Test Patch Changes

Yesterday's patch brought some undocumented changes - mostly because they're simply bug fixes for problems that cropped up on test - they don't appear to be new additions to the patch itself.

PvP

  • The cost of the level 60 PvP items have been reduced.

Hunter

  • Viewing Pet Details no longer results in a fatal error
  • Using aimed shot and steady shot no longer results in turning 180 degrees

Paladin

  • Illumination now returns 60% of base mana cost, up from 50%. (NOTE: Tooltip does not properly state this yet.)

Rogue
