World of Warcraft Client Patch 1.11.0
Shadow of the Necropolis
Floating above the Plaguelands, the necropolis known as Naxxramas serves as the
seat of one of the Lich King's most powerful officers, the dreaded lich
Kel'Thuzad. Horrors of the past and new terrors yet to be unleashed are
gathering inside the necropolis as the Lich King's servants prepare their
assault. The Scourge marches again...
Naxxramas is the new 40-man raid dungeon that will present even the most
experienced and powerful players with an epic challenge.
General
* The cost to unlearn talents will now decay over time. This cost will be
reduced by a rate of 5 gold per month to a minimum of 10 gold.
* Logging back in after a disconnect from the server has been greatly improved,
and players should now rarely receive the message "A character with that name
already exists."
* Temporary item buffs (e.g. poisons, sharpening stones and shaman weapon buffs)
will persist through zoning or logging out.
* Fear: The calculations to determine if Fear effects should break due to
receiving damage have been changed. The old calculation used the base damage of
the ability. The new calculation uses the final amount of damage dealt, after
all modifiers. In addition, the chance for a damage over time spell to break
Fear is now significantly lower. Note that Fear continues to be roughly three
times as likely to break on player targets as on non-player targets. In
addition, Intimidating Shout now follows that player versus non-player
distinction, while previously it did not.
* Periodic Healing: Spells which do periodic healing will now have their
strength determined at the moment they are cast. Changing the amount of bonus
healing you have during the duration of the periodic spell will have no impact
on how much it heals for.
* Reflection: Effects which cause reflection will no longer reflect triggered
effects separately from their base effects (e.g. Impact, Improved Shadow Bolt,
Aftermath, etc.)
* Spell and Item Auras with Charges: These auras will now correctly remember
their number of charges when you enter or leave an instance, change continents,
or log out.
* All controlled units will now be titled based on the creature type. All beasts
will be referred to as Pets, for example (no matter how they are controlled).
Previously, there were several inconsistencies.
* Beneficial spells and abilities that target multiple units will no longer
consume resources (i.e. mana, rage etc...) if they fail to affect anyone.
* Chain targeted spells and abilities (e.g. Multi-shot, Cleave, Chain Lightning)
will no longer land if target cannot be seen by the caster due to stealth or
invisibility.
* Character model transparency has been modified to fix an issue where PC's
would appear to have a large hole in their model (be on the lookout!).
* Optimization code known as "M2Faster" is now enabled by default. M2Faster can
improve performance in crowded scenes when "Vertex Animation Shaders" is turned
on. This function can be turned off by setting M2Faster to "0" in the
config.wtg.
- Reduces the unique number of vertex shader permutations that we will choose to
use in rendering
- Sorts the drawing of items in the scene a little differently to reduce the
number of times we re-program the vertex shader hardware.
PVP
* In an effort to keep their armies better outfitted the Horde and Alliance have
both taken it upon themselves to update their available rewards.
- An updated set of armor rewards have been added to vendors for Honor ranks 7,
8, and 10.
- The armor rewards for Honor ranks 12 and 13 have been increased in level and
stat point allocation.
- New rank 14 weapons have been added! In order to give casters the same
diversity of selection that melee currently enjoy we have added new caster items
that are available to be purchased by Grand Marshals and High Warlords.
Battlegrounds
* Alterac Valley
- Most of the NPC guard units have been removed.
- Players now drop more quest items.
- Creatures that remain in Alterac Valley have had their hit points reduced.
- The buff that is periodically cast by each faction's Captain has been changed
to a flat 20% hit point buff.
- Upgrading troops through armor scrap turn-ins will also now result in your
team's General enabling a periodic buff to your melee and spell damage.
* This buff scales from 10% at the Seasoned unit level, 20% at the Veteran unit
level, and 30% at the Champion unit level.
* Warsong Gulch - Epic leggings have been added to the Warsong Outrider and
Silverwing Sentinel supply officers for all armor types. These items require
Exalted status with their respective reputations.
Druids
* Innervate: This spell is now a base ability for all Druids, trainable at level
40. Any Druid who formerly had the Innervate talent now has the Swiftmend talent
instead.
* Nature's Grace: You will no longer consume this effect when casting a spell
which was made instant by Nature's Swiftness.
* Swiftmend: This new talent has been added to the Druid Restoration tree,
replacing Innervate as the 31 point ultimate talent. It consumes a Rejuvenation
or Regrowth aura to produce an instant heal.
* Enrage: Tooltip edited to clarify functionality.
Hunters
* Counterattack (Survival Talent) - All ranks of this talent will now share the
same cooldown.
* Scorpid Poison: Duration slightly lengthened.
* Changed the way hunter pet family armor bonuses and penalties are applied to
allow the exact value from the Natural Armor talent to be applied correctly.
This may result in a very slight loss of armor to some pets (less than a third
of a percent).
* Improved Scorpid Sting: The aura from this Sting will now be removed (as
intended) when a different Sting aura is placed on the victim.
Mages
* Due to significant talent changes, mages will have all talent points refunded
and can be respent. Training costs for all talent spell replacements have been
significantly reduced.

damage has been increased.
* Fire Ward: The amount of damage absorbed by this ward was increased
substantially on all ranks.

* Fire Ruby now has a sell value and can be disenchanted.
Paladins
* Benediction: This talent will no longer incorrectly provide a double discount
to Seal of Justice.
* Blessing of Light: It is no longer possible for a target to appear to have
multiple ranks of Blessing of Light. These multiple auras had no beneficial
effect, merely causing confusion. Problems with targeting the spell when the
caster has Blessing of Light effect on them have also been fixed.
* Divine Favor: It is no longer possible to cast this immediately after a
healing spell and "retroactively" make it a critical hit.
* Illumination: When several critical effect healing spells are cast very
quickly, you will now receive the correct mana refund for each one.
* Judgement of Command: Now consumes a charge of the Zandalarian Hero Charm. In
addition, when this spell is resisted it will no longer erroneously still do
damage.
* Judgement of Righteousness: Now consumes a charge of the Zandalarian Hero
Charm.
* Seal of Command: Clarified tooltip.
* Vengeance: Seal of Command critical hits can now trigger this ability.
* Vindication: This effect will no longer be absorbed by Grounding Totem.
Priests
* Lightwell - Casting time reduced. Lightwell object increased in size to make
it easier to click; relative click radius decreased slightly.
* Mind Control: If you cast Power Word: Shield while Mind Controlling a target,
the Recently Shielded aura will now appear on the correct target instead of
yourself.
* Spirit of Redemption: This spell has a number of fixes: Spirit of Redemption
form now has casting animations. Priests prematurely leaving battlegrounds with
this aura on will now receive the Deserter debuff (as intended); Priests in
Spirit of Redemption form at the completion of a battleground will have the aura
removed without dying; It will now work correctly with the Darkmoon Card
Twisting Nether item, resurrecting you after Spirit of Redemption has run its
course; If you should die underwater the Spirit of Redemption will no longer
have a breath bar appear; the Warlock Drain Soul spell will terminate producing
1 shard when the Priest switches to Spirit of Redemption form; You will no
longer have to wait 30 seconds for graveyard resurrection upon your first death
while using Spirit of Redemption.
* Vampiric Embrace: This ability will no longer heal for damage caused when the
target had no life remaining.
* Shadowguard: This Troll Priest racial spell now works with Vampiric Embrace,
Blackout, and Shadow Weaving. In addition, the damage from Shadowguard will now
consume charges of the Zandalarian Hero Charm's Unstable Power aura. The range
on Shadowguard has been extended to hit anyone within vision range.

The amount of damage absorbed by this ward was increased substantially on all

indicate it only works with your imp, voidwalker, succubus, or felhunter.

caster dies or leaves the area.

takes from Hellfire.

back onto the Mage.
* Healing Stream Totem: This totem now receives increased healing from effects
that increase the Shaman's healing.

Lightning Shield has been extended to hit anyone within vision range.

increase the Shaman's spell damage.
* Searing Totem: This totem now receives increased damage from effects that
increase the Shaman's spell damage.
Warriors

is used.

rank. Chance to stun at each rank changed to 15/30/45%.

health.
* Flurry: The tooltip for this talent has been adjusted to indicate it only
works on normal melee swings.
* Shield Slam: This ability has received a redesign. It now costs 20 rage to use
and the damage it does is modified by your shield block value. However, the base
damage has been reduced. It generates more threat per rage and more damage per
rage than it did previously.
* Sweeping Strikes: This spell has a number of fixes: When used in conjunction
with Execute and the second victim is below 20% health, they will be hit with
the full Execute amount. If the second victim is not below 20% health, they will
be hit with normal melee swing damage; If the ability you are using does not
deal damage, it will not use a charge of Sweeping Strikes; The extra attack it
generates when used with Whirlwind now has the correct damage range; The
additional attacks generated by this ability will now properly take into account
the armor of the second target.

- Stacks of 10
- Hides (Light, Medium, etc.)
* We have re-evaluated the mechanics of consumable items in the game and
concluded that these should work in a more intuitive manner. As such, most items
that can not be equipped with right click abilities have been streamlined into
one of three categories. Using an item of a particular category will trigger a
shared cooldown among all other items in the same category. The categories break
down as follows with category cooldowns as listed.
- Potions 2 minutes: This includes items such as Health Potion, Mana Potion,
Invisibility Potion and Mighty Rage Potion.
- Aggressive 1 minute: This includes items such as explosives, Really Sticky
Glue and Discombobulator Ray.
- Non-Aggresive 2 minutes: This includes items such as Healthstone, Night
Dragon's Breath, Whipper Root Tuber and Target Dummy.
* Many items that can be equipped have had their cooldown category removed and
will be controlled exclusively by the item's self cooldown. For example, the
Gnomish Mind Control Cap should no longer trigger the cooldown of the Talisman
of Arathor.
* We have re-evaluated the class specific quest rewards for both Zul'Gurub and
Ahn'Qiraj Ruins. To bring them more in line with the effort required to attain
them we have upgraded the superior items to epic quality.

now been changed to the intended Bind on Acquire.

have been fixed. In addition, totems which now benefit from increased damage and

using grenades in conjunction with other stuns (such as Hammer of Justice) may
give you diminishing returns.
- The materials used in sapper charges have become less stable and now on
occasion sapper charges will only affect the user lighting them on fire for a
period of time.
- A player is now much more likely to break out of the The Reckless Charge
effect of the Rocket Helmet early. This is to maintain consistency with all
other effects that take control away from a player (Sheep, Stun, Hibernate,

against monsters.

bosses). These encounters will prevent people from zoning into the instance
while that encounter is engaged. If you attempt to zone into the instance while
that encounter is engaged, you will be resurrected at the outside entrance. We

accommodate this change. Combat resurrections, soulstones, reincarnate, etc.
will still work fine. This is primarily to combat graveyard rushing in
instances.

longer require Bijous or coins for completion. Armor quests now only require a
Primal Hakkari piece and appropriate faction with Zandalar.

their hit points reduced considerably.

from the Paragons of Power quests, the trolls of Yojamba Isle will now offer to
replace pieces of armor that have been lost or deleted.

the High Priests of Zul'Gurub. Players should now see two items in addition to
the tokens when slaying these bosses.

instead of emoting that he is enraged.

the encounter begins. Players can use this crystal just like any other crystal
in the encounter, but it cannot come back up during the encounter.
- Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj Class Set Reward Replacement - Due to the changes made to

color and will have the [Raid Leader] label.

assistants. Text that is sent to this channel will appear in the center of the
screen for all players in the raid. The channel is called Raid Warning and text
can be sent to it with "/rw"
* Raid leaders now have a Ready Check button on their raid interface. This can
also be sent with /readycheck from the chat line. A Ready Check sends an "Are
you ready?" window with Yes/No buttons to all players in the raid. The raid
leader will get feedback in 30 seconds on all the players who were not ready or
who did not respond.
* Players now have a Raid Info button on their raid interface that functions the
same way /raidinfo worked before. This function will display a pane showing all
of the raid instances that a player is saved to, rather than displaying it to
the chat window.
* Players in a party may now select an option that allows them to reset all
currently open instances.
- You only get the reset all instances option if you are a party leader.

party/raid will see the selected symbol over the head of the target as well as
on the portrait of that target.
* Players can now turn on the "Target of Target" in the Raid and Party section
of the interface options. When this is turned on, anytime a player is in a party
or raid, it will show the portrait and health of whatever your current target
has targeted. You can click on that portrait to target that thing directly or if
you have the spell glove up you can cast spells on the target of target without
targeting it directly.

that are in your bank have a gray background when opened. This will allow a

one that is in their bank.

instance) that text will be displayed to the chat log instead of to the combat
log.

selected all non raid instances will be reset for the party.

they will automatically acquire a keyring that can only hold permanent dungeon
keys. The size of the keyring will increase as the player goes up in level up to
12 key slots at level 60.

of a players additional action bars has a range component, it will display a red
dot when a target is out of range.

selecting the "Target" option.
* Spells that have a lasting effect on a player and have charges such as the
Shaman's Lightning Shield spell will now display how many charges are left on
spell icon.
* The icons of negative effects on that appear on the player now have a color to
indicate their type. Curses are purple, disease is yellow, poison is green and
magic is blue. In addition when a party member is struck by one of these four
types of negative effects, their portrait will pulse the appropriate color for
30 seconds or until the effect is removed.
* Using B at the bank will now toggle open/closed all of your bags and all of
your bank bags.

bank pane, your bags will scale down to a smaller size so you can access all of
your bags and the bank at the same time.
