Patches • Patches category

This article lists all undocumented changes for patch 3.1.0. All documented changes should be listed on the main article.

General

  • Creature armor has been globally reduced so that debuffed targets should take about the same damage from physical attacks that they did before this change.[1]
  • DoT spells that land a critical hit will be reduced with resilience like a normal (non-DoT) spell. The damage will be reduced from the critical hit, but not from the DoT effect.[2]
  • DoT crits will "likely" be raised to a 200% crit bonus, up from the 150% currently.[2]

Achievements

PvP

Classes

Below is a listing of changes to the tooltips of talents and skills for each class. Please note that these may conflict with the official patch notes.[7]

Death knight

Druid

Hunter

  • Ability whirlwind [Auto Shot] now gives 15% haste to all attacks fired by a Hunter.
  • Ability hunter explosiveshot [Explosive Shot] damage reduced, rank 4 now deals [ 14% of RAP + 386 ] - [ 14% of RAP + 464 ] fire damage. (down from [ 16% of RAP + 428 ] - [ 16% of RAP + 516 ])
  • Ability hunter pet gorilla [Pummel] cooldown has been increased to 30 sec (Up from 10 sec.) and silence effect duration lowered to 2 sec. (Down from 4 sec)
  • Ability hunter longshots [Sniper Training] has been changed to increase the critical strike chance of your Kill Shot ability by 5/10/15%, and while standing still for 6 sec., you gain Sniper Training increasing the damage done by your Ability hunter steadyshot [Steady Shot], Inv spear 07 [Aimed Shot], Black Arrow and Ability hunter explosiveshot [Explosive Shot] by 2/4/6% Lasts 15 sec. (Previously increased damage and critical strike chance based on your range to the target.)

Mage

  • Ability mage burnout [Burnout] now only affects fire spells (previously affected all spells).
  • Ability mage hotstreak [Hot Streak]'s sound has been changed (previously used the sound which played upon earning a new achievement).
  • A new polymorph variant, Polymorph: Rabbit, will be available from the Noblegarden world event.

Paladin

Priest

  • Spell holy blessedresillience [Blessed Resilience] increases the effectiveness of your healing spells by 1/2/3% along with its previous effect.
  • Spell holy borrowedtime [Borrowed Time] has a new icon.
  • Spell arcane mindmastery [Enlightenment] is now a 3 point (down from 5 points) talent and increases your total spirit by 2/4/6% and your spell haste by 2/4/6%.
  • Ability priest focusedwill [Focused Will] now increases spell critical strike chance by 1/2/3% in addition to its previous effect.
  • Spell holy rapture [Rapture] is now a 3 point talent. When your Spell holy powerwordshield [Power Word: Shield] is completely absorbed or dispelled you are instantly energized with 1.5%/2%/2.5% of your total mana, and you have a 33%/66%/100% chance to energize your shielded target with 2% total mana, 8 rage, 16 energy or 32 runic power. This effect can occur once every 12 seconds.
  • Ability priest reflectiveshield [Reflective Shield] has been moved from tier 7 to tier 5. It is now a 2 point talent and causes 22/45% of the damage you absorb with Power Word: Shield to reflect back at the attacker.

Rogue

  • Ability rogue disembowel [Envenom] now gives an additional 15% chance to apply Ability rogue dualweild [Deadly Poison] and a 75% increased frequency of applying Ability poisons [Instant Poison] for 1 sec. plus an additional 1 sec. per combo point. (Previously gave a 15% chance to apply both deadly and instant poison.)
  • Ability warrior riposte [Expose Armor] now reduces armor by 20%, lasting longer per combo point.
  • Ability rogue hungerforblood [Hunger for Blood] now has a 30 yard range.
  • Ability poisons [Improved Poisons] changed to increases the chance to apply Deadly Poison to your target by 2/4/6/8/10% and the frequency of applying Instant Poison to your target by 10/20/30/40/50%. (Previously increased chance to apply Deadly and Instant poison by 2/4/6/8/10%.)

Shaman

Warlock

Warrior

  • Arms warriors: Increased damage, possibly through Ability meleedamage [Overpower] or Ability warrior decisivestrike [Slam].[1]
  • Ability warrior sunder [Sunder Armor] now reduces target's armor by 4% per application and stacks up to 5 times. (Previously reduced armor by a set amount.) Since creature armor has been reduced, the net effect should be that this debuff is slightly less mandatory in PvE and is not disproportionately more powerful against cloth targets in PvP.[1]

Alchemy

  • Inv potion 112 [Mixology] - increases flask duration by 1 hour instead of the previous 2 hours.
