DeathTheKid 130 Posted April 15, 2009 World of Warcraft Patch 3.1.0 Command (Orc Racial): Applies to shaman pets, and now correctly applies to death knight pets. Gift of the Naaru (Draenei Racial): The heal has been changed to an instant-cast heal-over-time. Stoneform (Dwarf Racial): No longer makes you immune to poison, disease and bleed effects for 8 seconds. Instead, using Stoneform will clear those effects when cast. Cooldown reduced to 2 minutes from 3 minutes. Classes: General Armor Penetration Rating: All classes now receive 25% more benefit from Armor Penetration Rating. The damage threshold for Fear, Psychic Scream, Hex, Intimidating Shout, and Turn Evil to break early has been significantly reduced. Haste Rating: shamans, paladins, druids, and death knights now receive 30% more melee haste from Haste Rating. Hysteria, Tricks of the Trade, Enrage, Wrecking Crew, Death Wish, Arcane Power, Owlkin Frenzy, Beast Within, and Avenging Wrath damage bonuses no longer stack together. Mana Regeneration: The amount of mana regeneration derived from intellect and spirit has been reduced by 40%; however, talents that allow for mana regeneration while in combat have been increased. As a result, in-combat regeneration for classes with those talents will stay the same, while out-of-combat regeneration will be lower. The shaman’s Fire Elemental and Spirit Wolves, mage’s Water Elemental and Mirror Images, and druid’s Treants have all gained avoidance from area-of-effect damage similar to what warlock and hunter pets already have. Taunts: All player or pet-generated taunts now have a shared diminish category. In addition, Taunt-type effects from pets and from classes other than death knight, druid, paladin, and warrior have been set such that bosses can be made immune to them while still affected by death knight, druid, paladin, and warrior taunts. Death Knights Anti-magic Shell: The amount of damage this ability can absorb is now limited to 50% of the death knight’s health. Blood Boil’s damage increased to make up for Pestilence no longer doing damage. Blood Boil now does some damage to undiseased targets and extra damage to diseased targets.

Obliterate: Bonus damage for diseases now increases damage done by a percentage rather than a flat amount. Pestilence does no damage and has only 1 rank. Plague Strike and Blood Plague no longer remove heal-over-time effects. Plague Strike’s damage increased quite a bit to compensate. Raise Ally now has a cooldown greater than 15 minutes and can no longer be used in Arenas. Raise Dead: Duration lowered to 60 seconds and cooldown lowered to 3 minutes. The cooldown on this ability now begins when the pet dies rather than when it is summoned. Rune of Cinderglacier now procs per minute instead of a 5% chance. Rune of the Fallen Crusader: This weapon enchant now provides only 15% strength, but its chance to proc is doubled. Rune of Razorice now affects Frost damage done by the death knight only, but stacks up to 10%. Strangulate no longer does damage and has been reduced to 1 rank. TalentsBlood Abomination’s Might: This effect can now also be caused by Death Strike. Blade Barrier: Now grants 1/2/3/4/5% damage reduction instead of 2/4/6/8/10% parry. Blood Aura: Replaced with Improved Blood Presence. This allows the death knight to keep the healing-from-damage-done bonus of Blood Presence in any presence, and increases healing received while in Blood Presence. Blood-Gorged now grants armor penetration instead of expertise. Bloody Strikes: The bonus damage this talent grants to Blood Boil has been reduced to 10/20/30%. Bloodworms now heal more. Dancing Rune Weapon: Damage done by, and duration of this pet is reduced by 50%, but the cooldown is reduced to 90 seconds. Attack speed of pet increased from 2.0 to 3.5. New talent: Improved Death Strike: Increases Death Strike damage by 10/20%, and critical strike chance by 3/6%. Heart Strike: Bonus damage for diseases is now a multiplier rather than a flat bonus. No longer affected by Glyph of Blood Strike. Hysteria: This ability now causes the target to lose health rather than take damage. Might of Mograine: No longer affects Obliterate.

Ranks reduced from 5 to 3. Vampiric Blood: Cooldown increased to 2 minutes from 1 minute. Will of the Necropolis: This ability now has a 15 second cooldown on how often it can occur. No longer triggers from damage amounts less than 5% of the player’s health. [*]Frost The following talents have moved in the Frost tree: Runic Power Mastery, Glacier Rot, Killing Machine, Chilblains, and Endless Winter. Black Ice: This talent now provides a 2/4/6/8/10% bonus to Frost and Shadow damage instead of 4/8/12/16/20% to Frost.
