The pre-Wrath patch is here!

Too bad Blizzard didn't, I don't know... fix some of the fucking bugs before pushing it through.

Edit: Just so you know I'm not bitching at pointless things, when the world server crashes six times in an hour... something is wrong. I don't think it would have killed them to keep this on the PTR for another week.

Good things:

Pets/mounts tab, so that your mounts and pets no longer take up inventory space.
Free respec due to all the talent changes.
Feral druids no longer needing much, if anything in the way of +defense gear.
Inscriptions.


Bad things:
Losing 7K armor in dire bear form.
Losing two of my pets due to a server crash.
Chuckle-heads not realizing that everyone is going to grind inscriptions and putting glyphs on the AH for 100+ gold.

Well, the pets tab is not showing up, so that's a bad thing.
Several glyphs either have an incorrect tool-tip, or incorrect modifiers. (But hey, Blizzard let the incorrect tool-tip for Evasion sit for over a year before they could be bothered to change it...)

Rogues pretty much lost around 3-5% Dodge. The Rogue Glyphs are mostly meh. And the one major glyph I really want is one that can't be learned until skill 440. Glyph of Hemorrhage.

You actually have to 'use' a pet or mount before the pets tab shows up.

And everyone lost something, warriors, paladins and druids lost armor. Rogues lost dodge. It's to make up for the fact that raid mobs 30% of their hp.

I don't think Hunters lost anything.

Hunters had a few cooldowns increased and have a lot more training of pets to do.

Arcane Shot: No longer dispels magic effects.
Wingclip: No longer does damage.

Yeah, otherwise you are pretty much correct. For some classes, it wasn't a huge loss, others it was.

The pet training for Hunters is actually a bonus, if you think about it.
