World of Warcraft v1.11.2 to v1.12.0 US Patch

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - World of Warcraft Client Patch 1.12.0 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 percentagesof 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.

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. - Improved Concussive Shot: The effect of this talent will now still 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. - The Ferocity talent now correctly applies to non-physical hunter pet abilities such as Lightning Breath and Thunderstomp. - If a hunter has tamed one of the following creature types, they will no longer potentially change colors if resummoned: Son of Hakkar - Red Frenzied Bloodseeker Bat - Brown Deep Stinger - Red Dark Screecher - Gray Cave Creeper - Brown Bloodaxe Worg - Black Scarshield Worg -Brown Mages - Arcane Missiles: It is no longer possible to cast this spell on an evading mob.

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. - Talisman of Ascendance: This item will no longer trigger from physical damage effects.

The 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.

Sandfury Cretins who engage the party during the pyramid event are no longer able to cast shadow bolt. - Maraudon Noxxious Scions will no longer spawn when you cleanse Celebrian Vines. - Ahn'Qiraj Lieutenant General Andronov's Aura of Command should no longer generate threat.

Egg Explosion will no longer burn charges from spells such as Lightning Shield. It should no longer be possible for Emperor Vek'lor and Vek'nilash to Unbalancing Strike or Arcane Burst immediately after a teleport.

The combined length of "prefix" and "message" must be less than or equal to 254 bytes. Added UnitPlayerOrPetInParty() and UnitPlayerOrPetInRaid().
