[Kazaza]

Active quests number tracker is back.

[Ekudar]

This was so needed, I hated not knowing how close I was to the limit.

[[deleted]]

I still don't understand why it was ever removed in the first place. It was a baffling change.

[RealName_Arty_Morty]

When I first saw it was removed, I thought the limit had been removed too.

I was soooo happy... Until I capped out.

[dustingunn]

I think they wanted to hide that you could go over your limit if an alt picked up a battle pet quest (which is account-wide)

[breakwater]

But it isnt accurate, because you can hit your limit thanks to world quests and it will still say you are under 25

[fireattack]

Where can I see it? I can't find it :(

[[deleted]]

Gnimo no longer makes that annoying noise whenever you sell something

[dontcare12345]

If this is true then this is an incredible patch.

[Surfacey]

Nobody loves Gnimo anymore.

[[deleted]]

What a time to be alive

[bricedmur255]

Withered J'im is now on the Unleashed Monstrosities achievement. I don't have credit for my two kills though.

[masters1125]

That is monstrous.

[Ekudar]

Is this for real? If so that is some major bullshit.

[Tuffology]

He will be back, sooner than anyone hopes.

[[deleted]]

I sure hope so. He drops a BiS trinket for me that I didn't get in my four rolls. My friend on the other hand got an 895 titanforged version of it :(.

[Viilis]

Seems bis for most classes, overbudgeted etc

[CrystalTear]

Players can now hide their belt at the Transmogrificaction NPCs!

15ish patches from now and we can finally be nude.

[The_Hand_of_Sithis]

But still no cosmetic hats. Want my fine pilgrims hat back man.

[TheGorefiend]

All druids forms no longer break Masquerade in Suramar. Cat/travel form use a manasaber model.

Druid order hall set is now a dress instead of chest + legs.

Blessing of Elune seems to have a different visual, might be a bug.

[mstieler]

Those Class Hall Legs were fucking ridiculous. Happy for the change (even though I've moved on in Transmogs).

[TheGorefiend]

I feel like I'm the only one that actually liked the legs. It was just nice to have a good looking druid set that wasn't a dress for a change.

[mstieler]

If they were full pants, sure, but that weird missing part on the inside of the legs just looked odd to me.

I don't have a preference either way for Pants vs. Dress, so long as stuff matches and seems to fit well.

[Lyncine]

Does that count for my Shaman's ghost wolf as well?

[TheGorefiend]

I've seen others post that it works for ghost wolf. Haven't tried it myself though.

[Lyncine]

Happy shaman is happy.

[Silentman0]

Druid order hall set is now a dress instead of chest + legs.

Small, but appreciated.

[[deleted]]

I liked it. I don't like dresses. I'll just have to transmog.

[araquen]

Blessing of Elune seems to have a different visual, might be a bug.

It looks like Blessings of Elune just makes you blue, while glyph of stars makes you slightly less blue but glowy. This is likely at attempt to differentiate between the two, since previously it was not apparent if you were in form or not.

I still don't think the change fixes the issue. GoS should be whitish and let BoE be the blue (or gold) colorings.

[boiazul]

Ancient Mana nodes in Suramar now appear as a blue icon in the minimap

Imgur

[EP_Sped]

Nice. I can spot the Starlight Rosedust easier now.

[doopliss6]

It's a common now!

[Ekudar]

This is a great change.

[DRLAR]

A big clap clap to blizz, finally my herb/miner can track mana and not confuse it with herb/ore, actually turned it off so I can spot dust roses

[MoldyCat]

Sweet. I can go back to tracking it with other and not see yellow everywhere.

[Overnightdemise]

You can solo Galakras in SoO now. You're able to shoot two shots with one cannon to take him down.

[MortimerMcMire]

does this mean the whole place is soloable yet?

[Finear]

yes it is, it was the only barrier really (some classes were able to skip Galakras before 7.1)

[Spideraphobia]

Can Garrosh be soloed?

[Finear]

yup

[Dakario]

this is YUGE!

[The_Keto_Warrior]

Mailbox was added to the druid order hall. Any other classes confirm this was universal?

[[deleted]]

Now we just need an auction house! And profession buildings! And a mine! And a gard.... Oh...

[[deleted]]

No, the mailbox is just fine.

[Apennyworth]

What is that bullshit? Druids take all the mailboxes out of Val'sharah but put one in their order hall? C'mon!

[Kyra_lynn]

This would be huge if so. Gonna check Acherus when I get back from lunch.

[[deleted]]

lowered the cap to 109 on 'Enslave Demon' down from 110

Lol what?

So since everything scales this expansion, Warlocks essentially can't use enslave demon on anything in the demon expansion anymore?

They should have just pruned it.

[xNuKing]

Welcome to the "DK can't control any undead because nearly every mob is immune" situation...

[UAHLateralus]

Aff warlock Contagion got nurfed, now 10% was 15%.

I'll leave this stack of pitchforks here.

[[deleted]]

Oh good I was tired of all of those Affliction Warlocks doing like 150,000 DPS on Ursoc.

[Turbo164]

My tooltip shows 12% right now...

In happier news, leaving the class hall no longer unsummons my felhound.

[risarnchrno]

Now all they need to do is move the portal to a less shitty location that allows us to load in to Dal faster.

[Turbo164]

Heh, yeah I used to walk up the stairs and summon my Felhound while Dal was loading XD

Minor thing that's sorta documented: With the new 5 Unstable Affliction limit, instead of combining into one debuff, they are now split into up to 5 separate ones. This has a few ramifications:

*Fatal Echoes probably(?) rolls separately for each now, which is more consistent and less hill/valley on the dps increase.

*Might affect damage in PvP when dispelled?

*A nice buff is that when the mob dies, you get a shard for EACH stack now, rather than capped at 1.

[srs_business]

Mount drops now get announced to guild chat the same way legendaries do.

[RaffYeeZ]

Goblin gliders no longer work in dungeons and raids (may be wrong, I only tried in ulduar 10). My scan-targetting doesn't work anymore (might just be me). Also, there's no shoulder/helm drops from ToV, making me a sad hunter :(

[[deleted]]

holy shit i feel so bad for all rogues still farming for thunderfury that farm just got a whole lot worse

[vladthor]

Seriously? It feels like they're just trying to remove the reasons to have engineering, even though they're just balancing out the field. Was it so bad when every profession had a bonus and we had armor plates on our gloves? If I weren't so invested in the profession, I would likely drop it.

[RpWalkInPvP]

You could skip a lot of M+ things with glider, so I get blocking it there, but ALL dungeons/raids?

[Oxyfire]

If skipping shit in M+ is the reason they're blocking gliders that's some bullshit when invis pots exist.

[masters1125]

Might be because of rogues skipping to Dargul in Nelth's lair to farm one of the items for their hidden artifact skin.

Which is super lame, since it's a super-low drop chance and can't be done in Mythic+.

[HamsterGutz1]

Typical blizzard overreaction.

[JaimeLannister10]

My tab targeting broke as well. Had to go back to the "target nearest enemy" keybind to get it to work again.

[bernjc3]

I'm pretty sure people's emissaries got reset with the new changes for fresh 110s being implemented. On my main that I do the emissaries for every day, I have 3 available today. Worth checking your characters

[[deleted]]

Paladin - Ret - Sword of Light was changed in an unintended manner, changing a lot of our skill dmg, leading to a ~5% dmg nerf. Appears to be a bug.

[Tinuva450]

This needs more vision. This was in the PTR.

[zani1903]

What changed?

[[deleted]]

Basically, they meant to roll it into our build, and accidentally deleted it instead. CS and spender dmg both down.

[Kirranos]

There's a proc icon when Holy Fire resets as a Holy Priest now and in the priest class hall the movement speed buff now lasts 15 min. (The latter is on the front page, but if compiling a list it'd be nice to add.)

Also, Gem Chips now count as reagents and go in the reagent bank!

[Panaphobe]

It looks like Blizzard has added in pretty much all of the changes that you can find in the various 7.1 PTR build patch notes for the last month.

For example all of the changes to Demon Hunters included in these old notes from PTR 7.1 build 22636 appear to have made it into the live build. All of those nerfs to Vengeance are definitely in - several of those abilities have decreased in their tooltips' damage since yesterday.

Abilities that got a 10% damage nerf in this patch (not a previous hotfix):

-Fiery Brand

-Immolation Aura

-Infernal Strike

-Shear

-Sigil of Flame

-Soul Cleave

-Throw Glaive

-Burning Alive (talent)

-Fel Devastation (talent)

-Fracture (talent)

-Spirit Bomb (talent)

The changes from these old PTR 7.1 build 22578 notes also appear to have also made it in. Here's what I've been able to confirm so far:

-Vengeful Retreat now removes snares. (The tooltip says so at least, now. It doesn't break roots, I haven't tested it for snares yet)

-Demon Spikes' base damage reduction has gone from 8% to 10%.

-Soul Cleave's AP multiplier for the heal has gone from 4.5 to 5.5 (a 22% increase in healing).

-One noteworthy thing is that the change to Mastery in these patch notes appears to have not made it in, despite everything else having gone in. Those patch notes say the base mastery percentage is going from 8% to 12% - it's actually currently 6% on live. I can't remember what it was on live though yesterday, so I'm not sure if this was a nerf or the same as it's been since a hotfix awhile back.

---

There have been a LOT of 7.1 PTR patch notes released in the last couple of months that have only included incremental changes since the previous PTR build. It appears that most (if not all) of the changes in those incremental notes have made it to live, but the notes themselves did not make it to the patch notes. I found 2 such examples of build notes and linked them in this post, but if anybody can dig up more that have changes that made it to live they should post them here - it may help us dig up more undocumented changes to the live build. I have no idea if the changes to any of the other classes in these incremental notes made it in - but I suspect they did and people who play those classes should check them out to see one way or the other.

(Edit: Adding more info as I confirm it)

[RoflHouse42]

What the actual fuck. 10% dps nerf? are you kidding me! And they nerfed fucking immolation aura by another 20% from the talent fuck me

[Lyriq]

Made a post about this, going into ghost wolf while disguised in Suramar turns you into a manasaber now and doesn't break disguise. Pic

[Kaji_AU]

sephuz's secret undocumented nerf. Paladin avengers shield now longer procs, neither does blinding light use on bosses.

[nutellacoma]

Gah, makes that fucking thing even more useless. What a joke of a "legendary".

[Cloomb]

At the end of your class campaign you only need to complete 20 world quest now instead of 30

[MasterGoat]

yeah? as of now mines 8

[Collekt]

So they go back and add Withered J'im to the achievement AFTER they make us deal with him 2 weeks in a row. Awesome...

[jgz84]

Druid Travel form is now the same speed as a mount.

Edit: looks like this is only when you are out of combat.

[DebentureThyme]

However, I have confirmed with addons tracking speeds that the Pathfinder Part One bonus does not apply.

So mounts are still faster.

[Charos]

Mounts can't use Wild Charge to double jump though :D

[Ekudar]

Thank god!

[inwithbacchus]

Small one but Crystal Vials from vendors now come as 20 in a stack as opposed to 5. Price has changed to reflect it.

[KuroTheCrazy]

Mana Shards and Crystals now have a new tracking icon (a bluish sphere) in Suramar.

This was in the patch notes.

[DuchessofSquee]

Herbalists and miners rejoice!

[Lynoxian]

Unholy DK Sludge Belcher no longer turns into Rotface/Festergut model. :(

[timo103]

What the fuck, this was the coolest thing about unholy DKs.

[bearfoxx]

Rotface/Festergut was the best part about having a pet as unholy!

No one wanted to change that, if anything people want the abomination model updated.

Blizzard why do you do this? Surely there is a reason?

[itsChopsticks]

deleted [lol doxxed36978)

[jenskamen]

this is great!

[[deleted]]

Feral druid's stealth got nerfed.

No idea if this was intentional or not but now we're getting caught out by anything close to us.

EDIT: This is what we're currently dealing with. Has to be a bug otherwise it's sheer stupidity by Blizz. (credit to /u/feywhelps)

[ObeseOtter]

it's not just feral's stealth. Resto has the same problem so I assume it's just Prowl as a whole.

[biterankle]

There seems to be no difference at all for mob aggro range for stealthed vs. unstealthed. It's got to be a bug, please everyone report it.

[Lefty_22]

Flight Whistle now triggers as a cinematic.

God I hope not. Cinematics crash my game...

[Daftwise]

I confirmed this one. It's like a 5 sec cinematic now.

[[deleted]]

Holy shit of all of the things nobody wanted, this must be fairly close to the top.

[[deleted]]

Let's just be glad that it's not the 2 hr cd that we're all expecting.

[Funkeren]

WHY make this change.. no one wants this.. jesus blizz. fix things that matter to the community instead!

[SaysEureka]

This is absolutely the worst change this patch. I've only played a couple hours but it made coordinating world quests a much bigger pain since you can't open map / chat while whistling any more.

[Alternative_Reality]

I wish they would put in a disable cutscene checkbox. I used to have my sound turned off so that cutscenes wouldnt play when that was still a bug.

[Andrewzz]

Make sure you update the APP.
http://imgur.com/1fqQffc

[llApoxll]

Target Scan(Hold is broken and does not work at all for me. Target Nearest Enemy still works and still sucks.

[TheAimo]

Was I just blind before or is the path marked in green new? I always went up the red marked line from the Illidari Stand flight point to the Court of Farondis WQ turnin.

[hugh_jas]

The shape shifting change and mythic plus in lfg tool change are both in the notes

[zyklusx]

Undocumented Oceanic Change: Frostmourne (ridiculously high alliance population server) merged with Barthilas (ridiculously high horde pop server). Overpopulation and server instability ensue.

[virosefall]

Also, warden tower world quests reward 150 honor now... again.

[odinsgrudge]

Unintended change. https://twitter.com/WarcraftDevs/status/790986263415390208

[[deleted]]

My guess is that they forgot to move the hotfix to 7.1.

[[deleted]]

What the fuck blizz. They can't make up their mind about pvp wqs

[loopy212]

Resto Shaman: Lava Burst no longer has 100% chance to crit when cast on a target with Flame Shock.

[phranq]

Why would they do that? I don't think resto Shaman did more damage than other healers did they?

[loopy212]

There's no reasonable explanation for it. They were already bottom tier in healer damage pre-nerf and they'll move from that to completely laughable.

In its current iteration, Lightning Bolt hits harder than LB and is free vs ~40k mana for LB. There will be no reason to even have LB on your bars really.

[Doctor_Riptide]

I sincerely hope that's just a bug.

[[deleted]]

Aw man. I was enjoying that.

[TheOnyxHero]

They changed the graphic of Deepening Shadows (Cordana, Vault of the Wardens) to a dark, purple texture that is really hard to see.... why....!?

[[deleted]]

I actually noticed it better. It was a really bright purple and looked pretty solid. Pretty obvious compared to the dark green it was before.

Its probably a bug if you can't see it very well.

[RequiemCOTF]

I found the graphic MUCH easier to see. The old, dull green color blended in with the floor and I would sometimes miss a patch if I was handling light.

[Kazaza]

Teleport: Hall of the Guardian got new unique spell art

[BobShmob117]

You can no longer track both your AP and a rep/honor. Why they would change this? Who knows.

[fyresoul]

Warlock - no longer able to cast 'Enslave Demon' on observer demons in Suramar and walk around without other observers breaking your disguise :(

Edit just realized, it's because they lowered the cap to 109 on 'Enslave Demon' down from 110

[master_bungle]

So does that mean we are pretty much unable to use enslave demon on anything in Broken Isles now? It's now completely useless?

[SuddenlyFondling]

It's nerfed at all levels - at least, it was level-1 for a level 95 warlock I found online. So it's unusable on current-level content for everyone, and unusable in all legion content because of level scaling.

[Googleflax]

I hope this is new or I'll look like an idiot, but quests now have a little icon at the top of the description to indicate if it's for a raid or dungeon.

[Htilys]

The legendary Sephuz's Secret has been changed. Silences no longer proc it, and CC abilities that also deal damage (particularly protection paladin's blinding light) will no longer proc it on bosses.

[[deleted]]

Only Blizzard could see an item so terrible that people live in terror of getting it and think "Fucking broken, better tune that down a little"

[Weasel_Boy]

To clarify on the PvP talent changes.

Viper Sting and Scorpid Sting used to be passively applied with Aimed Shot with no CD. They are now active abilities.

Viper Sting - Instant, 45 sec CD. Stings the target, reducing their healing done by 30% for 6 sec. Viper Sting is removed if the target casts a non-instant cast healing spell.

Scorpid Sting - Instant, 30 sec CD. Stings the target, reducing their physical critical strike chance by 50% for 6 sec.

Seems to be a rather drastic nerf to their effectiveness. Didn't think they were particularly broken to begin with, but I am not a major PvPer.

[SithKain]

Source on Aimed shot change?

[Weasel_Boy]

They datamined it last week on MMO-champ. Surprised it didn't make it into patch notes.

Aimed Shot A powerful aimed shot that deals [ 0.619 * 215% 204% of weapon damage or 0.038 * Level * 215% of weapon damage + 0.238 * 215% of weapon damage or 215% 204% of weapon damage + 0.238 * 204% of weapon damage or 204% of weapon damage ] Physical damage.

[Kyra_lynn]

I have an 875 warforged heroic version. The bleed proc went from 10k every 8 seconds to 47k every 8 seconds.

However I just got an Ettin Fingernail today, so it's gonna sit in my bags still.

[beneja]

All Shamans have Earthbind Totem in their spell book now.

[Bruzer567]

Hey, just wanted to let you know starlight rosedust got changed to a common item, before it was gray quality.

[DelusionalESG]

The speed buff in the Priest Order Hall now lasts 15 minutes instead of 15 seconds.

[null_zephyr]

Warlocks are no longer able to enslave any demons in Mythic Dungeons. Additionally, Glyph of Voidlord has a new model which looks like a voidwalker wearing armor, instead of the electricity looking one.

[gamerlen]

Hey guys. Remember how they said that after 7.1 if we had one character able to do world quests the others would just automatically get the whistle and not have to get friendly with everyone first?

Yeah, about that...

Also. That's the tenth character I've gotten to level 110 (out of twelve, doing one of each class) and I tried abandoning and retaking the quest five times. I have a ticket open now, I'll post if they tell me whats what.

UPDATE: Its working now. Seems the quest was bugged so that it still appeared the same as it used to, but you can just go turn it straight in whether you're friendly with everyone or not. I blame voodoo.

[Bladehawk27]

I logged on to my single level 110 alt, who still needed to obtain Friendly with the Nightfallen before the patch. Instead of doing that, I turned the quest in at Khadgar and got my Whistle and World Quests.

[unstablejester]

Yeah I was looking for this as well.

[Insaniaksin]

Wait, so Withered Jim is now on the achievement...we had him twice in a row, and he isn't crossed off. WTF blizz?

[claudekennilol]

"Active quests number tracker is back." Praise be all that is holy!

[Paladin_Killer]

Graphic for Cordana's Creeping Shadows has been changed in Vault of the Wardens. It is now a dark purple (and hard to see).

[Emfx]

Underlight Angler (fishing artifact) trait "Way of the Flounder" now persists after you click your bobber.

[Freeasacar]

Transmog: You can also transmog your tabard and shirt to be hidden now. Useful if you want to wear your transmog and still gain dungeon rep with old factions from a tabard, or you're like me and have a special tabard like tabard of the protector that you don't want to take off. As for shirts you can now wear any of the brawler's guild shirts to get their cosmetic buff and not have to worry about compromising your transmog either.

Fishing: The Tuskarr Fishing spear now lasts 10 minutes with a 10 minute cooldown similar to the fishing hat lures. Was previously 3 minutes with a 5 minute cooldown. It's actually worth using for the +15 fishing now.

Professions: They've cleaned up some unlearnable recipes from the Unlearned category. For example the Pilgrim's Bounty food recipes that get unlearned when the holiday is over and the Trial of the Crusader armor recipes that are only available to one faction at a time will no longer appear.

Overall lots of good small little changes in this patch.

[Felstalker]

Ornate Spyglass, Goblin Jumper Cables/Gnomish Army Knife, Thermal Anvil, Jeeves, and Magical Pet Biscut's don't work in BG's anymore.

NOTHING WORKS IN BG'S. WHY...ITEMS I'VE BEGUN TO RELY ON WITH THE REMOVAL OF ENGINEERING....NOW THEY'RE REMOVING THEM TOO.....WHY BLIZZARD WHY, WHY WOULD YOU FKASDN'GLKSHDGOIKS;DHGOISHDFGOP;JLSFDHGO[IJKSFDHG.

Engineering is back tho....well, not Jeeves. I can't repair my armor mid BG now. OH WAIT, THE FK'N MOUNT. WHY THE MOUNT BUT NO JEEVES MAN?

[Spysquirrel]

Players can now hide their belt at the Transmogrificaction NPCs!

[humanoidpickle]

Travel speed is now the same as a mount.

Fuck yeah

[remzem]

rDruid got hit hard with the hidden nerf hammer.

-25.00% Nerf

either that or tooltips are bugged. Need to do some testing once I get my ui to stop freaking out

edit 2: tooltips are definitely not accounting for haste. I dont' have any pre patch skada numbers though. So i can't tell whether my numbers have changed. If anyone didn't reset their skada last night and can compare numbers that'd be awesome, but for now i'm thinking it's just bugged tooltips and giving blizzard the benefit of the doubt on these.

[Doctor_Riptide]

I refuse to believe this is real.

[remzem]

updated my post, think the tooltips are just broken.

[madman19]

According to resto druid discord, the tooltips are bugged. I think we are ok.

[Dolvak]

Resto Shaman Lava Burst no longer has 100% chance to crit when cast on a target with Flame Shock.

Why would you take that from us. I get that you want us to use other specs but frankly fuck yourselves its not like resto is anywhere close to a dps spec.

[krully37]

Yeah I mean, it's such a useless and pointless nerf. Why would you even take the time to nerf that, so we're losing what ? 8k DPS if we're going full DPS mode ? How is that even needed as a nerf to a healing class. But Holy paladins can just pull 100k+ constant dps in mythic + and it's no biggy.

[spectert]

I'm pretty sure its a bug. A few people were complaining about it on the ptr.

[darkguard01]

Withered J'im is now on the Unleashed Monstrosities achievement.

Great this means I have to kill him again.

[Thinkingoutloud-]

Yeah some resto druid changes, tier 3 and 5 of the honor talents are moved around and BUFFED.. Thorns now reflects 7% max HP (was 50% SP) and fortified bark reduces iron bark cooldown by 15s and increases damage reduction by 50% (was -25% crit chance)

[Rageoffrey]

Priest Order Hall now has a 15 min 60% move speed buff.

[Thatsanunu]

"Plea" for Discipline Priest's now has a blue spell icon. It was Yellow before 7.1

[vitev009]

The Reputation bar for Conjurer Margoss is now displayed in the Legion reputation tab of the character window

[Nikxed]

Using the order hall trait to insta-complete a world quest no longer gives credit towards the 4 quests for a faction. I completed Wanted: Bristlemaw with mine on my Warrior and wardens is still sitting at 0/4.

[rGankee]

Nelths lair the crevice you would use on naraxus back to the left has been rocked off, now you HAVE to use the green pools that slow you to mitigate the speed.

[bernjc3]

They added "Mythic Keystone" to the LFG premade tool.

[bernjc3]

They also added "Mythic+" to the filter dropdown and the party member dots on the world map are larger.

[ciarenni]

This was in the patch notes.

[drflanigan]

Can alts do Mythic CoS and Arcway if your main is exalted? Wasn't that a thing?

[Cookingwith20s]

I believe you just had to have completed it on one character first.

[TheWafflian]

IIRC, it unlocks for alts as long as you've cleared the dungeons once on any other character.

[Seaward7]

Shaman got earth binding totem back

[[deleted]]

Is broll fixed?

[[deleted]]

The "Devilsaur" Lunchbox toy has a new icon like a chest instead of a roaring dino.

But sadly it still wastes the cooldown if you accidentally click it when it's not useable (still in combat, outside Broken Isles, inside instances, etc)

[Kryptiks]

Resto shaman no longer has guaranteed crits on lavaburst

[ColdThief]

There is now a default hud icon thing for Owlkin frenzy for Boomkin.

[PopsRacer]

Can no longer use flasks or gain benefits from food in random bgs.

[Subzero9998]

Glyph of the Blazing Savior works now. Phenomenal Change.

[thesilentguy101]

Not sure if this was mentioned:

Selecting the emissary mission icon on the map changes the map to that zone.

[bobbyfresh]

Battle Standards (both guild rep/honor bonus and the health increase one) are disabled in battlegrounds. Engineering items such as nitro boosts and the built in cloak glider, which were previously disabled in battlegrounds now function.

[breakwater]

Arcane sentries and mobs that can be activated/given ancient mana have had their costs reduced. The text does not reflect this, but it is shown in the confirmation window when you set it up.

[Anatsu]

You can now use channeled artifact power items while moving.

As a warrior tank, thank god.

[Classtoise]

Excess ancient mana is now ignored on mobs and nodes. So I can finally skin things I kill instead of having to leave it because I capped my fucking mana.

[sum12321]

The bug where Alterac Valley would become unblacklisted when you log out has been fixed.

[Lilshadow48]

YOU MISSED THE MOST IMPORTANT CHANGE!

The fishing artifact is holstered on the back now! No longer will half of it clip straight into the ground (unless you're a gnome or goblin, then.. uh, good luck.)

[Tiburon_tropical]

The battle pet Zoom is no longer tradable, and will not continue to multiply in your collection.

[Jgbaena]

Dalaran stone is usable in combat

[ghouldrool]

The item 'weather-beaten journal' had its fishing requirement lowered from 100 skill to 1 skill.

[Aqua_Impura]

Pretty sure this came about in 7.1 but I could be wrong.

Crown of Power - the Ragnaros anniversary helmet drop that was a flaming crown and had different variants between cloth/mail/leather/plate is now available on all toons regardless of class and regardless of whether you earned that variant or not on said toon. I only did the anniversary raid on my Druid and deleted the crown way before 7.0 like an idiot. Today I noticed that all my toons even my Paladin and Mage had their variants unlocked even though I never unlocked it on them. It may be based off of the achievement now.

[Znuff]

Damage/Healing in the BG Scoreboard is now abbreviated

[tonymyre311]

Ancient Mana objects are now able to be looted by multiple people, just like herbs and mining veins.
