Drums of War

Cross-Realm Battlegrounds

- For the first time in the history of World of Warcraft, you will be

able to face off against players from other realms in the

Battlegrounds. PvP Battlegrounds link Alterac Valley, Warsong Gulch,

and Arathi Basin so that players from several realms will be

combined into one huge matchmaking pool. Replenish your mana,

sharpen your blades, and get ready for some brand-new challengers!

World PvP

- The stage is set for intense, objective-based land battles as Horde

and Alliance vie for control over important strategic positions and

resources around Azeroth. Head out for Silithus and Eastern

Plaguelands to engage the enemy on the field!

General

- Threat Reduction Effects

This system has been redesigned to eliminate inconsistency in how

the effects work. Previously, some were additive (for example: 30%

reduction + 20% reduction = 50% reduction) while others were

multiplicative (30% reduction and 20% reduction made 44% reduction,

from 0.7*0.8). They are now all multiplicative. This also prevents

unpredictable behavior when the total reduction percentage was equal

to or greater than 100%. Please note that in almost all cases, when

stacking multiple threat reduction effects you will experience less

threat reduction than previously.

- Haste and Slow effects

Previously Haste and Slow effects worked inconsistently, with spells

working differently from weapons, and hastes and slows not acting as

inverses of each other. We have revised the system so that all haste

and slow effects work the same way, and haste and slow percentages

of the same magnitude perfectly cancel each other out (30% haste and

30% slow combine to no change). As a result, we had to change the

tooltip numbers on all spell haste effects, and on all melee and

range slow effects. The numbers in the tooltips are different, but

the game functionality is unchanged (other than slight rounding

errors). Those tooltips that changed will now display larger numbers

than they used to display. Conceptually, haste values indicate how

much more of that activity you can perform in a given time. 30%

melee haste means 30% more swings in a given time. Slow values

indicate how much longer an activity takes to complete. 30% slow

means an action takes 30% longer to finish.

- The deserter debuff will now continue to expire even while you are

offline.

- Honorable Kills now diminish at a rate 10% per kill rather than 25%

per kill.

- Temporary item buffs (e.g. poisons, sharpening stones and shaman

weapon buffs) will no longer persist through zoning or logging out

due to technical issues. This feature is anticipated to be

activated once more with the expansion.

Druids

- Barkskin: The tooltip has been changed to 25% due to the haste effect

change.

- Cat Form: This form now has an innate threat reduction component.

- Ferocious Bite: Book of Ferocious Bite (Rank 5) now drops off The

Beast in Black Rock Spire. In addition, Ferocious Bite now increases

in potency with greater attack power.

- Improved Shred: The discounted cost for Shred will now be displayed

correctly even when you are not in Cat Form.

- Rip: Lesser potency Rips will no longer overwrite greater potency

ones.

attack.

Hunters

- Spirit Bond: This ability will now be correctly reapplied when you

resurrect in a battleground and your pet is polymorphed or otherwise

unable to act normally.

be placed on the victim if the hunter is killed before their shot

reaches the target.

- Growl now correctly initiates combat when used by a pet in passive

mode.

abilities such as Lightning Breath and Thunderstomp.

on the victim if the caster is killed before their spell reaches the

changed to 25%.

points refunded and can be re-spent. Training costs for all talent

spell replacements have been significantly reduced.

aware of their target (currently Hunter's Mark and Mind Vision).

- Chain Heal - After the initial target is healed, the healing effect

will jump to the most damaged target (by absolute health) within

range. In addition, if a raid member is the initial target it will

look for valid raid targets to jump to rather than non-raid targets

as a priority, making it consistent with group targeted Chain Heals.

longer consume a charge from this spell.

placed on the victim if the caster is killed before their spell

reaches the target.

spell damage. At rank 3 and above, the base amount of health lost

and mana gained will increase by 80% of your bonus spell damage

effects. Talents and items can further modify those values. Rank

Warriors

- Bloodthirst: This ability will now correctly benefit from attack

power bonuses versus specific creature types.

triggers on all types of attacks.

- Shield Slam: This ability will sometimes no longer remove more than

one beneficial effect from the target.

changes. This means its potency has been reduced slightly.

Items

which was preventing it from benefiting healing spells.

- Blade of Eternal Darkness: The triggered effect from this weapon

will no longer occur when the spell being cast has its effect broken

by causing damage.

longer break Gouge.

you lose the set bonus.

- Eye of the Dead: Holy Shock now interacts properly with this item.

- Ranged Elemental Damage: Our ranged combat system does not allow a

ranged weapon to do a mix of Elemental (Fire, Frost, Arcane, etc.)

and Physical damage. Many ranged weapons existed which were listed

as doing Elemental damage and did not function properly (the damage

was dealt, but was treated as Physical). All of those weapons have

been changed to deliver the Elemental damage as a chance on hit

effect. Hurricane was previously changed this way in 1.11. The

following ranged weapons are also fixed in 1.12: Bow of Searing

Arrows, Dwarven Hand Cannon, Heartseeking Crossbow, Dark Iron Rifle,

Galgann's Fireblaster, Quillshooter, Shell Launcher Shotgun,

Venomstrike, and Verdant Keeper's Aim.

from this trinket.

tooltip.

(superior)items and items that summon swift mounts are now purple

(epic) items.

mana while you were already full health or mana.

trigger a category cooldown for a duration longer than intended.

- Wrath of Cenarius: This item will now trigger from Arcane Missiles.

Revenge to explain that they deal Nature damage.

hair.

either hand.

overall DPS of the charges should not be significantly altered from

what it currently is.

- Engineering: Explosive sheep do fire damage instead of physical

damage.

- Goblin Land Mines and Compact Harvest Reapers will no longer lock

out using other engineering devices until the land mine/reaper dies.

Harvest Reaper was given a 10 min self cooldown to prevent too many

reapers from being summoned at once.

Raids and Dungeons

looting the quest chest.

no longer able to cast shadow bolt.

- Maraudon

Noxxious Scions will no longer spawn when you cleanse Celebrian

Vines.

Lightning Shield.

It should no longer be possible for Emperor Vek'lor and Vek'nilash

your head. You can find the option in the interface options screen.

5 minutes before fading. You can turn this option off from the
