Blizzard released the first patch for this year 2012 yesterday. A number of fixes that could not be implemented through hotfixes such as inter-realm raids, some class balance fixes, and more.
Below we inform you of the changes that this patch has brought with it.
Quote from: Blizzard (Source)
Classes: General
- Vengeance no longer triggers when taking damage from other players.
Druids
- The Balance Druid level 4 13-piece set bonus now also increases the damage of Starsurge by 10% in addition to its current effect.
Hunters
- Aspect of the Falcon now grants approximately 35% bonus attack power.
- Deterrence now also reduces damage taken while active by 30%.
- Black Arrow now pulses every 2 seconds for 20 seconds, up from every 3 seconds for 15 seconds. The total damage dealt by this ability has not changed.
- Arcane Shot no longer benefits or consumes Block and Charge.
Magi
- Fireball's damage has been reduced by approximately 6%.
- Pyroblast's initial damage has been reduced by approximately 6%. The damage over time has not changed.
Paladins
- Holy Radiance now consumes 40% of base mana, up from 35%.
Priests
- Mass Dispel should once again prefer to dispel targets that have dispellable magic effects.
Rogues
- Adrenaline Rush no longer triggers a global cooldown.
Dungeons and Raids
- You can now form bands of the same faction with friends with real ID, allowing you to enter the band finder with groups of more than 5 players, make old bands in normal or heroic mode, and participate in battlefields. Cannot perform Dragon Soul in normal or heroic mode with raids between realms of real ID friends.
- Fixed various misprints and improved some descriptions in the Dragon Soul texts of the dungeon guide.
- Players can no longer obtain multiple copies of the same item by killing a boss only once in Raid Finder. For example, a player who out of necessity rolls for two set piece marks or two weapons and wins the first, will not be eligible for the second with that particular boss.
- Baradin Bastion
- Hideous creatures serving Alizabal have replaced Occu'thar's wandering eyes.
- Dragon soul
- Yor'sahj the Watchman
- The Unleash Life shaman spell now works correctly and triggers Profound Corruption only on its target. It used to affect both the caster and the target.
- Blackhorn Warmaster
- Twilight elite units' Blade Charge visual warning should be easier to see.
- Spine of Deathwing
- Burning Sinew health reduced by 15% in 10- and 25-player Heroic Mode. This change reduces the damage spike required to complete the encounter, allowing players to form raids with more varied builds.
- Deathwing Madness
- The Leap of Faith Priest spell can no longer be used while under the effects of Transporter Winds.
- Yor'sahj the Watchman
Objects
- Shadow Vial (Lightning Strike) damage has been reduced to approximately one third of its previous damage. However, it will now activate approximately 3 times as often. The intention is to keep the overall damage the same while reducing the instant damage spike, especially in PvP.
- The effect of Maw of the Dragonlord can now be activated when using Holy Word: Sanctuary.
User interface
- Fixed a bug that caused the Adult Language Filter to reset when exiting.
- A prompt is now displayed 15 minutes before the player is disconnected using parental controls.
Objects
Demon Hunter Appearance: Gain the appearance of a Demon Hunter for 5 min. 30min of cd. (TCG reward).
Let's see what design it is, because I see the Illidan of WoE a little deformed xD

Joer, they had even taken an addon and everything for this xD
