Wrath Classic Patch Notes Version 3.4.2

New Raid: Trial of the Crusader and Trial of the Grand Crusader

• This con­tent beco­mes avai­la­ble on Thur­sday, June 22 at 3:00 p.m. PDT.
• Challen­ge the five boss encoun­ters in the Trial of the Crusa­der and Trial of the Grand Crusa­der 10 and 25-pla­yer raids on Nor­mal and Hero­ic difficulty.

• Trial of the Crusa­der (Nor­mal dif­ficul­ty) sha­res a lockout with Trial of the Grand Crusa­der (Hero­ic dif­ficul­ty), but you may dyna­mi­cally swap from Nor­mal to Hero­ic and back aga­in within the same raid size.

  • For exam­ple, if your raid group clears the raid up throu­gh Facti­on Cham­pi­ons on Hero­ic dif­ficul­ty, you may swap to Nor­mal dif­ficul­ty and com­ple­te the instan­ce on Normal.
  • You may also do this dif­ficul­ty swap­ping on a per-boss basis. Using the exam­ple abo­ve, you may clear up throu­gh Facti­on Cham­pi­ons on Hero­ic, then swap to Nor­mal for the Twin Val­kyr encoun­ter, and then swap back to Hero­ic for the Anub’arak encounter.
  • Ple­a­se note that to be eli­gi­ble for Tri­bu­te to Insa­ni­ty and the addi­ti­o­nal tri­bu­te chest and rewards, you must do the enti­re Trial of the Grand Crusa­der raid on Hero­ic dif­ficul­ty in that same lockout.
  • 10-pla­yer and 25-pla­yer ver­si­ons of the raid are still sepa­ra­te lockouts and do not impact one ano­ther at all.
  • The requi­re­ment to have clea­red Trial of the Crusa­der befo­re attempting Trial of the Grand Crusa­der has been removed.

• Adjust­ments have been made to the acqui­si­ti­on rate of both Emblems of Tri­um­ph and Tro­phy of the Crusa­de in Trial of the Crusa­der and Trial of the Grand Crusader:

  • 1 addi­ti­o­nal Tro­phy of the Crusa­de will now drop from each boss in 25-pla­yer raids.
  • The num­ber of Emblems of Tri­um­ph obta­i­ned from each boss in 25-pla­yer raids incre­a­sed by 2.
  • The num­ber of Emblems of Tri­um­ph obta­i­ned from each boss in 10-pla­yer raids incre­a­sed by 1.
  • Deve­lo­pers’ note: With Nor­mal and Hero­ic ver­si­ons of the Trial of the Crusa­der sha­ring a lockout in Wrath Clas­sic, the total num­ber of Tro­phies of the Crusa­de and Emblems of Tri­um­ph avai­la­ble each week decre­a­sed. These adjust­ments are meant to bring the acqui­si­ti­on rate of both resour­ces on par to what it would have been in ori­gi­nal Wrath of the Lich King. The num­ber of emblems drop­ped was not incre­a­sed to per­fect­ly match what was possi­ble to obta­in from the raid on a week­ly basis in 2009, as the­re are now other oppor­tu­ni­ties out­si­de the raid to obta­in these emblems, name­ly from the dai­ly hero­ic satchel when the dai­ly hero­ic dun­ge­on is com­ple­ted on Defen­se Pro­to­col Beta difficulty.

Level 80 Onyxia’s Lair

• This con­tent beco­mes avai­la­ble on Thur­sday, June 22 at 3:00pm PDT
• The Onyxia’s Lair encoun­ter has been upda­ted to level 80.
• The level 60 ver­si­on of Onyxia’s Lair can be acces­sed by spe­a­king to Zidor­mi near the Onyxia’s Lair sum­mo­ning sto­ne. Spe­ak with Zidor­mi aga­in to return to the level 80 ver­si­on of the raid.

New Boss in the Vault of Archavon

• Kora­lon the Fla­me Watcher beco­mes avai­la­ble after week­ly updates/main­te­nan­ce the week of June 27

Argent Tournament

• Join the Argent Tour­na­ment in the new quest hub loca­ted north of Sindragosa’s Fall in the Icecrown zone. You’ll under­ta­ke new quests and dai­ly quests whi­le showing off your jous­ting pro­wess to earn new rewards.

Titan Rune Dungeons – Defense Protocol Beta

• Titan Rune Dun­ge­ons now have a new dif­ficul­ty – Defen­se Pro­to­col Beta.
• To ini­ti­a­te Defen­se Pro­to­col Beta, the par­ty will need to inter­act with the Mys­te­ri­ous Devi­ce at the ent­ran­ce of a hero­ic dun­ge­on, select the Defen­se Pro­to­col Beta opti­on from the gos­sip text. All five mem­bers of the par­ty will need to chan­nel on the object until the cast bar com­ple­tes, and then Defen­se Pro­to­col Beta will beco­me active.
• Once acti­va­ted, the ene­mies and bos­ses in the dun­ge­on will have a vari­e­ty of dan­ge­rous new effects alon­g­si­de incre­a­sed heal­th and damage.
• Defen­se Pro­to­col Beta boss encoun­ters drop items from the 10-pla­yer Nor­mal Mode of Ulduar.
• The final boss of each Defen­se Pro­to­col Beta dun­ge­on gives a new curren­cy, Side­re­al Essen­ce. Exchan­ge Side­re­al Essen­ce at the Ani­ma­ted Con­stellati­on npc in your faction’s area of Dala­ran for rewards from 10-pla­yer Hard Mode Ulduar.

Player versus Player

• Pre­pa­re to take on all challen­gers when the new Wrath of the Lich King PvP Sea­son 7 begins.
• The new Isle of Conquest batt­le­ground beco­mes avai­la­ble, pit­ting pla­yers aga­inst each other in 40 vs. 40 epic battles.

Ulduar

• The por­tal to the Ante­cham­ber is now alwa­ys acti­ve even if Fla­me Levi­athan and XT-002 Decon­struc­tor have not been defeated.
• After Kolo­garn is defe­a­ted, Gene­ral Vezax and all the surroun­ding ene­mies in his encoun­ter area will now imme­di­a­te­ly spawn.

• Yogg-Saron now drops addi­ti­o­nal Frag­ments of Val’anyr depen­ding on how many Titan Kee­pers are assis­ting your raid:

  • With zero Kee­pers assis­ting, Yogg-Saron will now alwa­ys drop 3 Frag­ments of Val’anyr.
  • With one Kee­per assis­ting, Yogg-Saron will now alwa­ys drop 2 Frag­ments of Val’anyr.
  • With two or more Kee­pers assis­ting, Yogg-Saron will still drop 1 Frag­ment of Val’anyr as before.
• Alga­lon the Obser­ver now alwa­ys drops 2 Frag­ments of Val’anyr.
• The one-hour timer for defe­a­ting Alga­lon the Obser­ver has been removed.

• With the rele­a­se of Trial of the Crusa­der, Uldu­ar item drops will be adjusted:

  • Uldu­ar 10 Nor­mal Mode items now drop from Defen­se Pro­to­col Beta bos­ses in Titan Rune Dungeons
  • Uldu­ar 25 Nor­mal Mode items now drop from Uldu­ar 10.
  • Uldu­ar 10 Hard Mode items still drop from Uldu­ar 10 Hard Modes.
  • Uldu­ar 25 Hard Mode items still only drop from Uldu­ar 25 Hard Modes.

Classes

• Dru­id

  • Pre­vi­ous adjust­ments, spe­ci­fi­cally to Fae­rie Fire (Feral) and Omen of Cla­ri­ty pro­cs, have been rever­ted. This imple­men­tati­on has been repla­ced with a new Gly­ph of Omen of Cla­ri­ty major gly­ph which grants the same effect, causing Fae­rie Fire (Feral) to alwa­ys proc Omen of Clarity.
  • Deve­lo­pers’ note: This is going to be an extre­me­ly small loss in damage for the dru­id for repla­cing an exis­ting gly­ph, but the pre­vi­ous adjust­ments resul­ted in a lar­ger than inten­ded damage incre­a­se for Feral DPS, so this hel­ps to reta­in the bene­fits of that adjust­ment but does so at the cost of a Major Gly­ph slot instead.

• Warri­or

  • A new minor gly­ph has been added to the game: Gly­ph of Shat­te­ring Throw – Your Shat­te­ring Throw is now instant and may be used in any stan­ce, but no lon­ger remo­ves invul­ne­ra­bi­li­ties and can­not be used on pla­yers or pla­yer-con­t­rolled targets.
  • Deve­lo­pers’ note: This gly­ph is being added to smo­o­th out the usage of one of the clun­kier raid uti­li­ty cool­downs in Wrath Clas­sic. The usage of Shat­te­ring Throw was often a strict DPS loss for Warri­ors as you would need to chan­ge stan­ces and lose your poo­led rage, and using it had a cast time which left the warri­or immo­bi­le and vul­ne­ra­ble. The usage of this raid cool­down should now feel sig­ni­fi­cant­ly more natu­ral without most of the dra­wbacks and should not impact the usage of Shat­te­ring Throw in PvP at all.

Items and Rewards

• The Sons of Hodir have upped the­ir fashi­on game and the­re is now a Sons of Hodir tabard avai­la­ble from Lille­ho­ff in Dun Nif­fe­lem, Storm Peaks.
• A new ven­dor has been added in Dala­ran: Ani­ma­ted Con­stellati­on. This ven­dor will exchan­ge items from Uldu­ar 10-pla­yer Hard Mode for the new Side­re­al Essen­ce curren­cy ear­ned from Defen­se Pro­to­col Beta dungeons.

User Interface

• The Loo­king for Group tool has been upda­ted for a smo­o­ther expe­ri­en­ce with Titan Rune Dungeons
• The menu/setting UI has been updated

Bug Fixes

• Clas­ses

  • Death Kni­ght

    • Fixed an issue that some­ti­mes caused runes to not pro­per­ly be con­su­med when cer­ta­in abi­li­ties were used toge­ther in a macro.

    • Fixed seve­ral issu­es with the Death Kni­ght talent Dan­cing Rune Wea­pon that caused the damage to be cal­cu­la­ted incorrectly.

      • Resol­ved an issue causing the ver­si­on of Death Coil cast by Dan­cing Rune Wea­pon to do base damage and inhe­rit no stats from the Death Knight.
      • Resol­ved an issue whe­re Dan­cing Rune Wea­pon was not mimic­king the Slow Effect of Cha­ins of Ice.

      • Resol­ved an issue causing the melee damage done by Dan­cing Rune Wea­pon to be incorrect. The damage done will now be much clo­ser to 50% of the Death Knight’s damage, with some vari­ati­on due to exact gear con­fi­gu­rati­ons such as equip­ped wea­pon speed.
      • Gly­ph of Death Stri­ke now pro­per­ly incre­a­ses the damage of Dan­cing Rune Weapon’s Death Strike.
      • Dan­cing Rune Wea­pon now correct­ly inhe­rits the wea­pon damage of the wiel­der for spe­cial attacks.
      • Dan­cing Rune Wea­pon now gains a bene­fit from the Impro­ved Icy Touch talent.
      • Deve­lo­pers’ note: These fixes should bring the damage out­put of Dan­cing Rune Wea­pon much clo­ser to the indi­ca­ted 50% damage on the tool­tip. Ple­a­se note that whi­le Dan­cing Rune Wea­pon should be dea­ling clo­ser to 50% of your total damage, the­re are cer­ta­in secon­da­ry stats such as Armor Pene­trati­on that are not inhe­ri­ted by Pets which can impact this. This beha­vi­or is sys­te­mic to all pets, and intended.

    • Deve­lo­pers’ note: This has alwa­ys beha­ved this way and has alwa­ys been inten­ded to beha­ve this way but the tool­tip was mislea­ding. We’ve correc­ted the tool­tip to be more clear about what the talent actu­ally does.
    • Fixed an issue that caused the Earth­grab talent to not have PvP dimi­nishing returns.

  • War­lock

    • Unstable afflicti­on is now pro­per­ly affec­ted by Resilience.
