It's good to see Blizzard add the AQ enchants in to normal reputation vendors. I personally haven't sought one out, but I've seen plenty of people in trade channels asking for the old enchants as they are still quite viable. I'm curious if it would've just been better to simply update them to make 'em a bit better overall (not by much, but enough to make a difference).

Wow, that was a bit sudden..and there is no "feature" in this patch (new dungeon, arena etc.)...that is really weird...or really stupid :D

A) The next major patch will have the new instance Zuk'Aman B) i think there will be more added to the list at a later date.

Blizz: GUYS HOLD THE PATCH Blizz #2: Why? Blizz: WE NEED A NEW DUNGEON OR ARENA MAP OR WE CAN'T FIX ANYTHING! Blizz #2: OMG How could we forget!? Blizz: Good thing I remembered man; we would of been doomed for sure.

"Meeting Stones can no longer be used to summon players that do not meet the level requirements."

Isn't this a bit redundant? You already couldn't summon other people that didn't meet the level requirement.

Wow. HUGE Rogue PvP buff, a Warlock PvP nerf (and coming from a Warlock, I think it is about time), a nice Paladin PvE buff, and a lot of fixes. Not bad...

A major non-content patch!

Is this a first?

i really don't think that rogues deserved any sort of a buff, but oh well just one more thing to ensure i cant kill them :( anyways some of the reductions of limits on various types of cc seem odd, for instance the time of freezing trap has been reduced to 10 seconds, but since when did a freezing trap last longer than 10 seconds in pvp anyways. The other thing i was wondering about was the part about pets not chasing after rogues when they vanish, does that mean when they stealth also, or just vanish?

Tree of Life: The party aura from this shapeshift now extends the full 40-yard radius as stated in the tooltip.

The tooltip states 45 so I wonder. It was more like 35 before though, so even 40 would be nice.

there will be content its going to have Zul'Aman in it, it might not say it but as there is heaps of buzz about ZA i think it will and seeing as the patch notes are not on the ptr page yet then i think that these notes are only a fraction of what the full version is going to have.

10 min on normal blessings and 30 min. on greater blessings WoOt nice.

The nexus crystal to SMALL prismatic shard is laughable...

@ Lothaer: Blizz confirmed at E3 that Zul'Aman will not be in the next few patches. They stated that the patch containing voice chat and guild banks will be coming out before the content patch.

I never heard WHEN the ZA instance or the chat/banks stuff would actually be implemented, but it's freaking awesome to now know that it WILL be (and not just "we think it would be cool...")

I'm a bit confused about the whole "Area damage cap" stuff, but over all I very much like this patch. It's about bleeping time they upped the durations on pally blessings!! 5-min buffs were very close to useless, and the symbols don't come cheap. Overall many classes needing a bit of buffing got at least something useful, and, thank the gods, Warlocks FINALLY got a PvP nerf.

Overall, VERY happy with the changes, and can't wait for guild banks!!!

"Warlocks FINALLY got a PvP nerf." You have got to be kidding me. The Nerf is quite honestly out of proportion too.
