New cauldron recipes can now be discovered when making most major protection potions. Cauldrons can provide an entire raid with a major protection potion.

O_O cool.

Patch Notes 2.2 (Near Future)

Shadow Priests All Damage reduced by 75%. New Talent added: Dirty Look, increases threat by 200%.

I am not one to complain but, damn... A little love every once in a while would be nice.

Nothing like a 5% damage reduction to make you feel all warm and cozy.

Reading though the whole release notes it seems that the Nethereal escort quest (the one with the small forge camp sabotage) still isn't fixed. That quest is bugged since TBC went live...

"You are now able to right click a player name to report them to GMs."

So if you're not using a spam blocker of some sort, you will STILL see the spam. Thank you Blizzard for ignoring the basic problem people have with spam.

Hypythermia is a CD on Ice Block, when i mage uses Ice Block they get Hypothermia witch stops them casting Ice BLock for about 10secs.

Yeah, it's similar to the debuff caused by Divine Shield and Blessing of Protection.

Some very cool, if minor, changes in this set! I'm greatly looking forward to not dieing because I don't notice the message that says I can't cast Divine Shield on myself (because I cast Avenging Wrath already and had forgotten), and sit there wondering why I'm still getting hit... lol

Anyway, the new alchemy plans idea is cool, as are several of the Interface additions (Thank god items from mail will FINALLY stack automatically!).

Now if only they'd actually make the blacksmithing BoPs worth making for a pally *grumbles*

"Hypythermia is a CD on Ice Block, when i mage uses Ice Block they get Hypothermia witch stops them casting Ice BLock for about 10secs."

"pretty sure hypothermia is 30 sec. ?"

It is, quoted from the patch notes:

"Ice Block: This ability no longer makes mages immune to Weakened Soul from Power Word: Shield. However, using this ability now causes Hypothermia, making the mage unable to cast Ice Block again for 30 sec"

Checked both the normal patchnotes url and the testream url. On the first one there is NO mention WHATSOEVER of 2.1.0 CLIENT patchnotes, and on the testrealm notes it still sais PTR notes. So might wanna change that /* One of the major changes: the "World of Warcraft PTR Patch 2.1.0" was changed to read "World of Warcraft Client Patch 2.1.0" */. Dont give ppl false hope.

The patch notes may not be live on the website yet, but the patch notes included with the latest PTR client did change their title from "PTR Patch 2.1.0" to "Client Patch 2.1.0" and a link to the URL that normally contains the latest client patch notes.

It's not "false hope;" it's just not yet reflected in the live website.
