WoW patch 2.4.2: Undocomented changes - Image 1


As some of the players here will recall, World of Warcraft's public realms recently received its much-awaited patch 2.4.2. Now, if you're among the guys who's busily reading over the patch note changes, you might want to listen in.

We've picked up a couple of the currently undocumented changes that for WoW's new patch, gathered from player reports from the WoW forums. For one, it appears that the new main-hand to one-hand weapon classification won't be affecting caster weapons.

There's also the matter of Bloodfury, Bloodlust Brooch, Bloodrage and Berserker Rage now sharing the same sound effects. It's not a bug - this appears to be an intentional change by Blizzard's developers.

We've posted the current undocumented changes for WoW patch 2.4.2 below for your reading. Given that the patch just launched, however, we advise the readers to keep on the lookout for any future updates. 
  • Hunter
    • Scare beast isn't instant and still have its 1.5sec cast time, even if the tooltip still says "Instant" this is an intended change and the tooltip will be reverted back to 1.5 sec in a later patch.
    • There is still a bug with Growl that is allowing it to scale with some pet attack power buffs as well as the hunter's attack power. This will be fixed in a future patch, until then enjoy the extra threat from these buffs.
  • Spells
    • Bloodfury, Bloodlust Brooch, Bloodrage and Berserker Rage all use Bloodlust's sound effect now. Most of these changes are intended.
  • Raids & Dungeons
    • Hyjal Summit - Archimonde (Possibly bugged)
      • Fire will now spawn -much- closer to Archimonde, and the pathing is entirely random.
      • Fire can target and chase Melee. Never possible pre 2.4.2.
      • Archimonde's hit box size has been increased
      • MT's are now able to be targetted by Air Burst.
  • Quests changes
    • The Quest "The Multiphase Survey", where you retrieve surveys from Nagrand, no longer gives a [Shattered Sun Supplies]
  • Professions
    • If you did a Void Shatter before the patch, you will have to wait for the end of the cooldown before you can do "cooldown-free" transmutations. (This isn't really a bug actually, but it will probably save a few questions)
  • Powerleveling
    • According to a few reports, you cannot powerlevel anymore by DOTing mobs with a level 70 player and leaving the instance before they die. The XP of each mob has been greatly lowered. (Still need to be confirmed)
  • Items
    • [Medallion of the Alliance] and [Medallion of the Horde] are already available for 40 000 from the honor vendors and you won't have to wait for the beginning of Season 4.
    • [Medallion of the Alliance] and [Medallion of the Horde] price has been lowered to 8 000
    • [Shard of Contempt] has been renamed to "Disdain" instead of "Heroism".
    • [Shifting Naaru Sliver] has been fixed and now affects the caster only.
    • Caster weapons were not changed from Main-hand to One-hand intentionally.  Naturalist's Preserving Cinch and Borderland Fortress Grips have been upgraded.
    • [Nightfall] now has a chance to fail for targets above level 60
    • [Wushoolay's Charm of Nature] now grants 70 (instead of 400) spell haste rating, and reduces the mana cost of Rejuvenation, Healing Touch, Regrowth, and Tranquility by -5 for 15 seconds.
    • [Hazza'rah's Charm of Healing] now grants 70 (instead of 400) spell haste rating and reduces the mana cost of your healing spells by -5 for 15 seconds.
    • [Renataki's Charm of Trickery] energy bonus is now reduced by 4 points by level after level 60, lowering the energy bonus to 20 at level 70 instead of 40.
