||
| − | What was to be an auspicious event at the ancient World Tree [[Nordrassil]] has ended in tragedy. There, members of the [[Cenarion Circle]] and [[Earthen Ring]], including former warchief [[Thrall]], had gathered with the noble [[Dragon Aspect]]s to unite their powers and restore Nordrassil for the good of [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]]. Yet word has now spread that a shadowy [[Twilight's Hammer]] agent interrupted the ceremony and struck down Thrall with dark magics... casting his spirit into the four domains of the [[Elemental Plane]]. If these terrible rumors hold true, the Earthen Ring--indeed, all of Azeroth--has lost one of its greatest champions. |

||
| − | Although the night elves and their allies repelled [[Ragnaros]]'s initial invasion of [[Mount Hyjal|Hyjal]], their work on the sacred mount is far from over. Archdruid [[Malfurion Stormrage]] has gathered his comrades at the [[Sanctuary of Malorne]] within the newly healed [[the Regrowth|Regrowth]] to invade Ragnaros's domain: the [[Firelands]]. Once inside the Elemental Plane, Hyjal's defenders hope to establish a permanent stronghold. Yet these plans have come under threat by a ferocious new elemental assault that has swept through the Regrowth. Despite this setback, Hyjal's protectors remain steadfast in their mission, for they know that it is in the molten heart of the Firelands that the fate of Mount Hyjal will be decided. |

| − | ==The Firelands== |
||
| + | The [[recipe]] is sold by [[Almaador]] in [[Shattrath City]] for {{cost|8}}. You need to be {{reputation|revered}} with the [[Sha'tar]]. |
||
| − | The time to strike at Ragnaros draws near. The battle to protect Mount Hyjal now rages in the depths of Ragnaros's smoldering realm. As territory is gained by Azeroth's defenders and they draw closer to the inner sanctums of the [[Firelands (instance)|Firelands]], a monumental task awaits. Ragnaros's lair--[[Sulfuron Keep]]--is closely guarded by his most loyal servants, including the traitorous [[Druids of the Flame]] and their mysterious leader. Yet the brave heroes who have ventured into this ash-choked domain cannot afford to shy away from any danger. The outcome of the battles that lie ahead will determine the very survival of Azeroth. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest== |
||
| − | Uncertainty looms over the [[blue dragonflight]]'s domain, the [[Nexus]], as its members struggle to appoint a new leader. Split between the two likeliest successors--[[Kalecgos]] and [[Arygos]]--the flight has agreed to meet during a rare celestial event known as the Embrace in the hopes that a new Aspect will finally be chosen. The bronze dragon [[Anachronos]], however, has detected something sinister at work around the Nexus, threatening to compromise the ceremony. If a hero does not rise to investigate these dark forces and uncover their intentions, Anachronos believes that Azeroth's doom is imminent. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==General== |
||
| − | * All character races now have a /roar sound. |
||
| − | * All existing [[Valor Points]] in the Currency tab have been converted to [[Justice Points]]. |
||
| − | * The [[Keyring]] bag slot has been removed to make room in the user interface for new features. |
||
| − | ** [[Key]]s which no longer serve a purpose in the game will be removed from player inventories. Compensation for the keys will be automatically provided in the form of each key's vendor sell price in gold. |
||
| − | ** Keys which are obsolete [[quest item]]s will be removed from player inventories. |
||
| − | ** Keys which may still be of use to players will be transferred to regular inventory space. If a player's bags are full, these keys will sit in a backlogged inventory until sufficient space is made available. Once space is opened, the keys will appear in regular inventory upon the player logging out or switching zones. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Achievements== |
||
| − | * [[Bear-ly Made It]] (new achievement): Save all four prisoners before they are sacrificed in [[Zul'Aman]] on Heroic difficulty. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Classes== |
||
| − | ===General=== |
||
| − | *All [[spell critical strike|healing critical strikes]] now heal for 2 times a normal heal (+100%), up from 1.5 times a normal heal (+50%). |
||
| − | *Players are once again free to [[dancing|dance]] in combat (without causing graphic errors). Other animations, such as attacks, will take precedence over dancing. The dance animation will be suppressed until the higher priority animation is complete. Fun has been unnerfed. |
||
| − | *Buffs |
||
| − | **All class abilities which place a buff on friendly targets no longer generate any threat. This goes for raid-wide buffs like [[Mark of the Wild]] and [[Power Word: Fortitude]], as well as triggered effects such as [[Blessed Resilience]] or [[Fingers of Frost]], and single-target buffs like [[Dark Intent]] and [[Hysteria]]. The exception is buffs which directly cause healing or damage, such as [[Thorns]] or [[Renew]]. Abilities such as these still generate normal threat. |
||
| − | *Crowd Control |
||
| − | **Many crowd control abilities no longer cause creatures to attack players when they are cast. The creature will not attack the player when the crowd control wears off, and nearby creatures will not become hostile to the player either. However, if a visible player gets too close to the target creature, the creature will remember and attack the player when the crowd control effect wears off. The intent is to make it easier for dungeon groups to manage crowd control assignments and pulling packs of hostile NPCs. The abilities affected by this change are: [[Hibernate]], [[Entangling Roots]], [[Wyvern Sting]] (will still cause hostility when it begins to deal damage), [[Freezing Trap]], [[Polymorph]], [[Repentance]], [[Shackle Undead]], [[Blind]], [[Hex]], [[Bind Elemental]], [[Banish]], [[Seduction]]. |
||
| − | *Pets |
||
| − | **The [[Aggressive]] pet stance has been removed and replaced with the [[Assist]] stance. This stance will cause the player's pet to attack the player's target. The pet will not change targets unless the master attacks a new target for a few seconds. |
||
| − | ** The [[Defensive]] pet stance will now only cause the player's pet to attack enemies which attack the pet or the master. |
||
| − | * Spell Interrupts |
||
| − | ** When [[interrupt]]ed while casting a single-school spell such as [[Mind Flay]] or [[Frostbolt]], players will now be able to cast dual-school spells such as [[Mind Spike]] (Frost and Shadow schools) or [[Frostfire Bolt]] (Frost and Fire schools). However, being interrupted while casting a dual-school spell will still interrupt all respective schools as intended. |
||
| − | * Stats |
||
| − | ** [[Death knight]]s, [[paladin]]s, and [[warrior]]s no longer receive any bonus to their chance to [[dodge]] from [[Agility]]. Their base chance to dodge is now a fixed 5%. |
||
| − | ** Death knights, paladins, and warriors now receive 27% of their [[Strength]] bonuses as [[parry rating]], up from 25%. This conversion still only applies to Strength above and beyond their base Strength. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==={{ClassIcon|Death Knight|Large}} Death Knights=== |
||
| − | * [[Obliterate]] base damage has been reduced to 150% weapon damage, down from 160%. |
||
| − | * Talent Specializations |
||
| − | ** Frost |
||
| − | *** [[Hungering Cold]] now has a 1.5-second cast time. |
||
| − | ** Unholy |
||
| − | *** [[Unholy Might]] now increases Strength by 10%, up from 5%. |
||
| − | * Glyphs |
||
| − | ** [[Glyph of Dark Succor]] has been redesigned. Rather than placing a 15% maximum health floor on [[Death Strike]] healing while in [[Frost Presence|Frost]] or [[Unholy Presence]], it causes the next Death Strike within 15 seconds after killing a foe that yields [[experience]] or [[Honor Points]] to heal for at least 20% of the death knight's maximum health (still requires Frost or Unholy Presence). |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==={{ClassIcon|Druid|Large}} Druids=== |
||
| − | * Druids now gain 1 [[attack power]] per point of [[Strength]], down from 2. They continue to gain 2 attack power per point of [[Agility]] while in [[Cat Form]] or [[Bear Form]]. |
||
| − | * [[Entangling Roots]] and the equivalent spell triggered by [[Nature's Grasp]] no longer deal damage. |
||
| − | * [[Ferocious Bite]] damage has been increased by 15%. In addition, its base cost has been reduced to 25 energy and it can use up to 25 energy, for up to a 100% damage increase. |
||
| − | * [[Innervate]] now grants an ally target 5% of his or her maximum mana over 10 seconds, but still grants 20% of the druid's maximum mana over 10 seconds when self-cast. |
||
| − | *[[Mangle (Cat Form)]] (Cat) damage at level 80 and above has been increased to 530% weapon damage, up from 460%. |
||
| − | *[[Omen of Clarity]] clearcasting buff from now lasts 15 seconds, up from 8 seconds. |
||
| − | *[[Ravage]] damage at level 80 and above has been increased to 975% weapon damage, up from 850%. |
||
| − | *[[Shred]] damage at level 80 and above has been increased to 520% weapon damage, up from 450%. |
||
| − | *[[Swipe (Cat Form)]] (Cat) now deals 600% weapon damage at level 80 or higher, down from 670%. |
||
| − | * Talent Specializations |
||
| − | **[[Balance]] |
||
| − | ***[[Earth and Moon]]'s duration has been increased to 15 seconds, up from 12. |
||
| − | ***[[Fungal Growth]] spell visual effect has been updated to be less visually intrusive and more aesthetic. |
||
| − | ***[[Lunar Shower]] has been redesigned. When casting [[Moonfire]], the druid gains Lunar Shower. Lunar Shower increases the direct damage done by Moonfire by 15/30/45%, and reduces the mana cost by 10/20/30%. This effect stacks up to 3 times and lasts 3 seconds. While under the effects of Lunar Shower, Moonfire generates 8 Solar Energy, and [[Sunfire]] generates 8 Lunar Energy. The amount of Lunar/Solar Energy gained does not change based on the number of points spent in the talent, or stacks of Lunar Shower. Those druids who wish to delay transition in or out of an [[Eclipse]] state should now cast the one of their two basic attacks which will not move the Eclipse bar (either [[Starfire]] or [[Wrath]]). |
||
| − | ***[[Solar Beam]] has a new spell effect. |
||
| − | ***[[Wild Mushroom: Detonate]] can now also trigger Earth and Moon, in addition to Starfire and Wrath. |
||
| − | ** Feral |
||
| − | *** Bear damage abilities were scaling too fast with higher gear levels compared to other tanks, so the following balance changes have been made. All the numbers cited are for level 85 characters; numbers will be lower for lower-level characters. |
||
| − | **** [[Faerie Fire (Feral)]] base damage has been raised to 2950, up from 679. Attack power scaling has been decreased to 10.8%, down from 15%. |
||
| − | **** [[Maul]] base damage has been raised to 35, up from 8. Attack power scaling has been decreased to 19%, down from 26.4%. |
||
| − | **** [[Pulverize]] weapon damage percent has been decreased to 60%, down from 80%. Damage per Lacerate application has been increased to 1623, up from 361. |
||
| − | **** [[Mangle (Bear Form)]] (Bear) weapon damage percent has been decreased to 190%, down from 260%. Bonus damage has been increased to 3306, down from 754. |
||
| − | **** [[Swipe]] base damage has been increased to 929, up from 215. Attack power scaling has been decreased to 12.3%, down from 17.1%. |
||
| − | **** [[Thrash]] initial base damage has been increased to 1042, up from 339. Initial damage attack power scaling has been decreased to 9.82%, down from 19.2%. Periodic base damage has been increased to 581, up from 189. Periodic damage attack power scaling has been decreased to 1.67%, down from 3.26%. In addition, a bug was corrected where armor decreased the periodic damage done by this ability. |
||
| − | **** [[Lacerate]] initial base damage has been increased to 3608, up from 2089. Initial damage attack power scaling has been decreased to 5.52%, down from 7.66%. Periodic base damage has been increased to 69, up from 16. Periodic damage attack power scaling has been decreased to 0.369%, down from 0.512%. |
||
| − | *** [[Natural Reaction]] damage reduction has been increased to 9/18%, up from 6/12%. |
||
| − | **Restoration |
||
| − | ***[[Symbiosis]] (Mastery) has been removed and replaced with [[Harmony]]. Harmony increases direct healing by an additional 10%, and casting direct healing spells grants an additional 10% bonus to periodic healing for 10 seconds. Each point of mastery increases each bonus by an additional 1.25%. [[Healing Touch]], [[Nourish]], [[Swiftmend]], and the initial heal from [[Regrowth]] are considered direct healing spells for the purposes of this Mastery. All other healing from druid spells is considered periodic. |
||
| − | *Glyphs |
||
| − | **[[Glyph of Berserk]] duration increase is now 10 seconds, up from 5. |
||
| − | **[[Glyph of Ferocious Bite]] has been redesigned. It now causes [[Ferocious Bite]] to heal the caster for 1% of maximum health for each 10 energy used. |
||
| − | **[[Glyph of Innervate]] now causes the druid to gain 10% of his or her maximum mana over 10 seconds when [[Innervate]] is used on a friendly target, in addition to Innervate's base effect. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==={{ClassIcon|Hunter|Large}} Hunters=== |
||
| − | *[[Multi-Shot]] damage has been reduced. It now deals 120% weapon damage at level 80 or higher, down from 137%. |
||
| − | *[[Hunter trap|Traps]] now scale with hunter stats such as [[hit]], [[expertise]], [[spell penetration]] and [[attack power]] as intended. |
||
| − | * Talent Specializations |
||
| − | ** Marksmanship |
||
| − | *** [[Careful Aim]] now grants additional critical strike chance against targets over 90% health, up from 80% health. |
||
| − | * Pets |
||
| − | ** 8 new rare tamable beasts have been added, each of which provides a unique taming challenge. Will you be the first hunter to tame [[Deth'tilac]], the rarest and most powerful of them all? Players will need to [[Firelands Invasion|progress through]] the [[Mount Hyjal|Hyjal]] [[The Regrowth|Regrowth]] and [[Molten Front]] daily questing areas in order to unlock access to the full gamut of taming challenges. |
||
| − | ** [[Intervene (pet)]] (Pet Tenacity) has been redesigned. The pet runs at high speed toward a group member, reducing the damage done by the next melee or ranged attack made against them equal to 50% of the pet's total health. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==={{ClassIcon|Mage|Large}} Mages=== |
||
| − | * [[Arcane Blast]] damage done has been reduced by 5%. |
||
| − | * [[Pyroblast]] cast when [[Hot Streak]] is not active was doing slightly less damage than the Hot Streak version. Its damage has been increased so that both versions of Pyroblast now do the same amount of damage. |
||
| − | * [[Spellsteal]] mana cost has been increased by 100%. |
||
| − | * Talent Specializations |
||
| − | ** Fire |
||
| − | *** When [[Impact]] spreads [[Living Bomb]], it will only be spread to two additional targets. The net effect is that if the mage's most recent Living Bomb target is the same as their Impact target, that target will no longer lose the Living Bomb effect. If Living Bomb is active on multiple targets when the Impact effect is cast, Living Bomb will remain active on the most recent Living Bomb target, and will be added to two other nearby targets. |
||
| − | **Frost |
||
| − | ***[[Deep Freeze]] and [[Ring of Frost]] will cause diminishing returns on each other, in addition to the spells they normally share diminishing returns with. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==={{ClassIcon|Paladin}} Paladins=== |
||
| − | *[[Divine Light]] mana cost has been increased to 35% of base mana, up from 30%. |
||
| − | *[[Flash of Light]] mana cost has been increased to 31% of base mana, up from 27%. |
||
| − | * [[Guardian of Ancient Kings]] uses the new [[Assist]] pet stance functionality. |
||
| − | *[[Holy Light]] mana cost has been increased to 12% of base mana, up from 10%. |
||
| − | *[[Rebuke]], [[Divine Shield]] and [[Divine Protection]] have new icons. |
||
| − | *[[Seal of Righteousness]] now can be activated by any melee ability, not just single target melee abilities. This adds [[Hammer of the Righteous]] (the physical component) and [[Divine Storm]] to the list of abilities that can activate this seal. In addition, Seal of Righteousness procs can now be critical effects. |
||
| − | *Talent Specializations |
||
| − | **Holy |
||
| − | ***[[Beacon of Light]] can no longer be dispelled. In addition, it now transfers 100% of the heal from Holy Light, but still 50% of the heal from other spells. |
||
| − | ***[[Denounce]] has been redesigned. It still reduces the mana cost of [[Exorcism]]. However, it no longer has a chance on Holy Shock of making Exorcism free and instant. Instead, it has a 50/100% chance to prevent the Exorcism target from causing critical effects for the next 6 seconds. This effect can be dispelled. |
||
| − | ***[[Holy Shock]] mana cost has been decreased to 7% of base mana, down from 8%. |
||
| − | ***[[Infusion of Light]] can now lower the cast time of Flash of Light by 0.75/1.5 seconds, in addition to Holy Light and [[Divine Light]]. In addition, the old Denounce spell overlay effect has been transferred to Infusion of Light since Denounce is no longer a proc. |
||
| − | ***[[Speed of Light]] now increases movement speed when [[Holy Radiance]] or [[Divine Protection]] are cast. In addition, this talent now reduces the cooldown of [[Holy Radiance]] by 13/26/40 seconds, up from 10/20/30. |
||
| − | ***[[Walk in the Light]] now improves [[Word of Glory]] healing by 30%, in addition to its current effects. |
||
| − | **Protection |
||
| − | ***[[Ardent Defender]] has a new spell effect. |
||
| − | ***[[Guarded by the Light]] no longer interacts with Holy Shield in any way. |
||
| − | ***[[Hammer of the Righteous]] mana cost has been lowered to 10%, down from 12% to match [[Crusader Strike]]. |
||
| − | ***[[Holy Shield]] has been redesigned. This talent is now an activated ability off the [[global cooldown]]. It grants 20% increased block amount to a paladin's [[block|shield block]]s for 10 seconds, with a 30-second cooldown. |
||
| − | ***[[Judgements of the Wise]] now procs on attempt rather than on strike, which means judgements that miss can still grant mana. This is to help ensure Protection paladins are not starved for mana if they aren't capped on hit rating. |
||
| − | **Retribution |
||
| − | ***The [[Seals of Command]] talent now makes [[Seal of Righteousness]] hit an unlimited number of melee targets, instead of only 2 additional targets. |
||
| − | ***[[Selfless Healer]] can no longer be dispelled and cannot be stolen via [[Spellsteal]]; and, in addition to its current effects, it lowers the cooldown of [[Word of Glory]] by 5/10 seconds. |
||
| − | *Glyphs |
||
| − | **[[Glyph of Seal of Truth]] [[expertise]] bonus now also works when [[Seal of Righteousness]] is active. |

||
| − | *** [[Psychic Horror]] no longer has a forward facing requirement, making it consistent with other non-projectile-based crowd control spells. |
||
| − | ***[[Sin and Punishment]]'s [[Vampiric Touch]] backlash fear effect no longer has diminishing returns. |
||
| − | ***[[Vampiric Touch]] damage done has been decreased by 12%. |

| − | **Players will no longer prematurely cancel a channeled spell when clicking on the [[Lightwell]]. |

| − | *Battlegrounds |
||
| − | **[[Eye of the Storm]] has been added into the rotation as a 10-man [[Rated Battleground]]. The tug-of-war style capture points have been replaced with Arathi Basin style capture points to better support 10v10 competition. This change applies only to Rated Battlegrounds. Eye of the Storm is otherwise still a 15-player Battleground with tug-of-war style capture points. |
||
| − | **War Games |
||
| − | ***Many improvements are being made to the War Games interface, though the changes are not yet fully functional. |
||
| − | *Conquest Points |

| − | **The minimum cap on Conquest Points earned per week is now 1500 at 1500 or less Battleground rating. The maximum cap remains 3000 at 3000 or more Battleground rating. The cap continues to scale non-linearly between those two points. |
||
| − | **The game now separately tracks different Conquest Point caps for Battlegrounds and Arenas. The cap for Arena rating will always be 2/3 of the cap for Battleground rating at any given Arena rating. Players may earn a total number of Conquest Points per week equal to the higher of these two caps, but once players have reached the cap for either Arenas or Battlegrounds, they can no longer earn Conquest Points from that source. Conquest Points from Battleground holidays only count toward the total Conquest Point cap. |
||
| + | ==Notes== |
||
| − | ==Quests & Creatures== |
||
| + | * Crafting this item requires an [[Alchemy Lab]]. |
||
| − | *There are no longer oddities in the critical strike and dodge chance of lower-level creatures. |
||
| + | * If the alchemist did the transmutes for the diamonds and {{loot|rare|Primal Might}} himself, the item would take seven days to make, due to the 20 hour cooldowns on the Primal Might and the 20 hour cooldown on the two diamonds. Alchemists with the Transmute specialization may be able to make it more quickly, however. |
||
| + | * Note that it is +40% to healing potions and mana potions, not +40% to healing done. |
||
| + | * To save money on {{loot|uncommon|Primal Water}} alchemist can transform {{loot|Uncommon|Recipe: Transmute Primal Earth to Water}} |
||
| + | The usefulness of this item becomes more obvious when put into comparison with a regular ''+XX mana every 5 seconds'' bonus effect. Consider a long boss fight where you have to spend several {{loot|common|Super Mana Potion|Super Mana Potions}} each time their cooldown (2 min) allows for. As the mana potion will normally replenish an average of 2400 mana and another 960 more with this Stone equipped, this basically translates into the equivalent of ''+40 mana every 5 seconds''. However, since patch 3.0.2 '''potion cooldown does not start until combat is over''', making the stone considerably less useful. |

| − | * Raid Profiles have been added which allow players to save the raid window user interface layout based on type of content (i.e. 10-player raids, 25-player raids, Battlegrounds, etc.) for future use. |
||
| + | Using this trinket in conjunction with {{item|Fel Mana Potion}} grants a restoration of 4480 mana over time at the cost of a slight debuff.

Alternate Alchemist's Stones
- 350 Alchemy skill (converted from a basic Alchemist's Stone)
- 400 Alchemy skill (made separately from lower level Stones)
Notes
- Crafting this item requires an Alchemy Lab.
- If the alchemist did the transmutes for the diamonds and [Primal Might] himself, the item would take seven days to make, due to the 20 hour cooldowns on the Primal Might and the 20 hour cooldown on the two diamonds. Alchemists with the Transmute specialization may be able to make it more quickly, however.
- Note that it is +40% to healing potions and mana potions, not +40% to healing done.
- To save money on [Primal Water] alchemist can transform [Recipe: Transmute Primal Earth to Water]
The usefulness of this item becomes more obvious when put into comparison with a regular +XX mana every 5 seconds bonus effect. Consider a long boss fight where you have to spend several [Super Mana Potions] each time their cooldown (2 min) allows for. As the mana potion will normally replenish an average of 2400 mana and another 960 more with this Stone equipped, this basically translates into the equivalent of +40 mana every 5 seconds. However, since patch 3.0.2 potion cooldown does not start until combat is over, making the stone considerably less useful.
Using this trinket in conjunction with 
[Fel Mana Potion] grants a restoration of 4480 mana over time at the cost of a slight debuff. Also notable is the 
[Fel Regeneration Potion] where the debuff will negate the stat bonus of the trinket in exchange for 4480 health restored over time.
