read where it says no more BT oh hyjal attunements! *yay* and it also says we can try that Vashj lady and kael in TK without fighting the other bunch of bosses too! i don thtink thats too smart.. but heyyy its nice   i heard the 1st 2 bosses in Hyjal were super easy too, i think we could have fun with this patch O.o!

I encourage everyone to read the entire list.  There are some really cool things in there.

Some are good to know right now so that you can prepare for them:
-Gems obtained through Heroic difficulty instances are no longer Unique-equipped.


Yay Dixxie: Items intended for Retribution Paladins have had their stats adjusted. Retribution Paladins should see an increase in dps as a result.

"Creature versions of Intimidating Shout have been changed to Frightening Shout, and the primary target of the ability is now feared instead of stunned." -> I think this could be very good for us tanks!

This didn't make it to the patch notes, but Drysc (Blizzard poster) claims there will be BT/MH equivalent Badge of Justice loot in 2.4 as well.

p.s. I had some trouble logging on to WoW just now, but then opened up a Command Prompt and typed "ipconfig /flushdns" and that fixed it.  Yes, I know this is off-topic but I didn't feel like making a new thread.

They hand out epics like ketchup at McDonald's.  I hate how wow enables retards self gratification.

What do you mean?  I think the attunements are a good thing - great for alts/new members in deep BT/Hyjal guilds, and the boss skipping.  Do you remember back pre-bc how much we wished we didn't have to kill a bunch of trash bosses to get to the drops we needed at the end of MC?
