The Enigma Order

January 8-18

General

    * Broiled Dragon Feast is correctly being tracked by the guild achievement, Set the Oven to "Cataclysmic".
    * The guild achievement Lower Blackrock Spire Guild Run can now only be earned in a group of at least 4 players from the same guild in a 5-player party.
    * The achievement Sunwell Plateau Guild Run now requires a guild group to complete. This achievement can no longer be completed without the requirement of having 75% of the raid be guild members.
    * Guild experience daily resets should no longer sometimes fail to occur.


Classes
Death Knight (Forums / Cataclysm Talent Calculator / Beta Skills/Talents)

    * Necrotic Strike is now affected by resilience.


Druid (Forums / Cataclysm Talent Calculator / Beta Skills/Talents)

    * Druids previously unable to learn Nature's Grasp will be able to learn that spell now.
    * Rejuvenation now consumes 16% of base mana, down from 26%, but still requires 26% of base mana in order to be cast.


Mage (Forums / Cataclysm Talent Calculator / Beta Skills/Talents)

    * Rank 1 of Pyromaniac no longer improperly gives 5% passive haste.
    * The mana costs of the following mage spells have been reduced, but they still require the previous percentage of base mana in order to be cast: Arcane Barrage (11% of base mana), Arcane Blast (7% of base mana), and Fireball (12% of base mana). As an example, Fireball requires 16% base mana to cast, but only consumes 12% of base mana.


Priest (Forums / Cataclysm Talent Calculator / Beta Skills/Talents)

    * Sin and Punishment is now properly causing its terror affect when dispelled. In addition, it no longer shares diminishing returns with fear effects. It now shares diminishing returns with horrify effects.
    * Priests who were unable to learn Holy Nova will now be able to train the spell.


Warlock (Forums / Cataclysm Talent Calculator / Beta Skills/Talents)

    * While Nightfall is active, Doomguards will not instantly cast Doom Bolt.


Warrior (Forums / Cataclysm Talent Calculator / Beta Skills/Talents)

    * A bug has been fixed where the Shield Block ability granted 25% more critical block chance than was intended for Protection warriors with very high total chance to avoid attacks.


Dungeons & Raids

    * It should no longer be possible for players to inadvertently be locked out of killing a raid boss depending on whether or not they were online when the boss was killed.
    * The battle resurrection counter will now correctly reset if players are not inside the dungeon when an encounter resets.


The Bastion of Twilight

    * Many adjustments to the behavior of various mechanics in the Sinestra encounter have been made.
    * Fester Blood now hits everyone in the room instead of having a 20-yard radius on Heroic difficulty during the Cho'gall encounter. No more kiting he who has too many eyeballs.
    * Valiona's Blackout can no longer be absorbed by Grounding Totem or reflected. Its healing absorption effect has also been increased for 10-player normal difficulty.


Blackwing Descent

    * Atramedes will now reset if the players targeted by Sonic Breath or Obnoxious Fiends attempt to leave the room.
    * Zoning into the dungeon after a soft reset now causes all Atramedes-related objects and creatures to reset completely. The introduction event will replay once the dwarves have been cleared. Entering combat with Atramedes forces the gongs to become usable and the fight will function normally from this point.
    * Atramedes will no longer despawn when his tail passes through the area trigger in the entrance to his room. He will no longer despawn randomly during the fight. Pulling him out of his room will now cause him to reset.
    * The damage of Chimaeron's Caustic Slime has been reduced for both raid sizes and dungeon difficulties.
    * Chimaeron will not cast Caustic Slime on Feral tanks in Bear Form unless there aren't enough non-tank specialized targets available. This fix applies to Magmaw's targeting functionality as well.
    * Rip and Bane of Doom damage is no longer affected by the damage increase of Stolen Power when engaging Nefarian.
    * Abberrations spawned during the Maloriak encounter were displaying inappropriately high health values on Heroic difficulty. This has been corrected.


Items

    * Bloodthirsty Gladiator's Badge of Dominance and Vicious Gladiator's Insignia of Dominance on-use effects now properly modify healing done.
    * Darkmoon Card: Volcano now triggers from periodic damage.
    * Divine Shield and Blessing of Protection no longer remove the Blind Spot debuff from the normal and Heroic versions of the Jar of Ancient Remedies. When targeting an ally at very close range (2-3 yards) when using this item, it will still energize them instead of the user. This will be fixed in an upcoming patch.
    * Free Action Potions now cannot be used above level 80.


Professions

    * Archaeology keystone fragments can no longer be prospected.
    * Lifebound Alchemist Stones can no longer be disenchanted.


PvP
Arenas

    * Ring of Valor has been temporarily disabled until select bugs can be fixed in an upcoming patch.


Battlegrounds

    * Teams who are in the rated Battleground queue and have a member disconnect are now removed from the queue after 10 minutes if the player does not come back. The team is still at the top of the queue if the player comes back and the Battleground will pop almost instantly.
    * Battleground ratings, wins, and losses should now always update after every game when playing in rated Battlegrounds. Certain conditions were not causing this to happen previously.
    * Players who do not show up to a Rated Battleground, either by leaving the queue or letting the Battleground queue time out, are not being credited for a win.
    * Players who are removed from a Battleground when it closes due to a lack of players will not receive the Deserter debuff.
    * Players are again able to queue for more than one Battleground at a time without issue.


Quests & Creatures
Darnassus

    * Worgen character hearthstone location is now set to the Craftsmen's Terrace in Darnassus upon completing the quest "Ruh'theran Village".


Deepholm

    * Fungalmancer Glop no longer grants experience and now rewards quest kill credit to all players who have damaged him.


Tol Barad Peninsula

    * Players will receive quest credit for killing any quest boss, regardless of party status, so long as they participate in killing these bosses.
    * Problim can now be seen from a much larger distance.
    * Cell Watchers in D-Block are no longer incorrectly tagged as elite.
    * "The Leftovers", "Swamp Bait" and "A Huge Problim" can now be shared between members of the Alliance. In addition, these quests now award the correct amount of gold and faction for the Horde and Alliance as well.
    * Darkwood Broodmothers no longer flee at 25% and periodically inflict targets with Reckless Toxin instead.
    * Hungry Ghouls and Skeletal Beastmasters now drop the Cursed Femur quest item when on the quest "Salvaging the Remains", and the tooltip also indicates these creatures drop the quest item.
    * Restless Infantry and Restless Soldiers now spawn more quickly.


Twilight Highlands

    * If reinforcements are not called after 60 seconds, Skullcrusher will now despawn. When reinforcements are called, Skullcrusher no longer improperly despawns.


Uldum

    * Titanic Guardian's Burning Gaze ability should no longer put everyone in the zone in combat.

General

    * Escape Artist again correctly removes movement impairing effects.
    * Players who have used the Paid Race Change service to transfer to a goblin or worgen character post-patch 4.0.6 can properly use the Dungeon Finder again.
    * Love Is in the Air has been extended by 48 hours. The in-game Calendar should now reflect it runs through February 20.


Druid (Forums / Cataclysm Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)

    * Disentanglement (new passive specialization) is now properly functioning for Restoration druids, allowing them to get out of root effects by using Shapeshift. Logging out or changing zones no longer causes the spell to be unlearned.
    * Attempting to use Warstomp while in Tree of Life form returns a "You can't do that yet" error and does not cast the spell.


Mage (Forums / Cataclysm Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)

    * Rank 2 of Fingers of Frost now has the correct proc chance.


Shaman (Forums / Cataclysm Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)

    * Elemental Overload (Mastery) procs of Lightning Bolt or Chain Lightning correctly generate Rolling Thunder charges.
    * Stormstrike is now correctly proccing Maelstrom Weapon.


Warlock (Forums / Cataclysm Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)

    * Refreshing Immolate with Hand of Gul'dan is now correctly augmented by the Inferno talent, refreshing Immolate to a 21-second duration instead of 15.


Dungeons & Raids

    * Blackwing Descent
          o Maloriak's Aberrations should correctly spawn even if Vile Swills are still alive from the previous phase.
    * Shadowfang Keep
          o Lord Walden again correctly uses Ice Shards and Toxic Catalyst.
    * Throne of the Four Winds
          o Conclave of Wind bosses now correctly regenerate health out of combat.


Items

    * The Fire-Etched Dagger swing speed was too slow and has been updated. The tooltip will not reflect the updated time of 1.7 seconds until a client-side patch can be applied.
    * Heroic and normal versions of Magma Plated Handguards did not have enough Strength and have been updated.
    * Heroic and normal version of Sapphirium Handguards did not have enough Strength and have been updated.

Hm good point, my bad!

Not to mention that if I try to post them here, the forum craps out and doesn't post shit.

February 11 (Patch 4.0.6a)

General

    * Players are no longer encountering errors when having their items bid on in the Auction House. The Auctions tab also updates appropriately reflecting the bid.
    * The South Island Iced Tea recipe no longer awards credit toward the Set the Oven to "Cataclysmic" or Time To Open A Restaurant guild achievements.
    * Players can now Ignore other characters from different realms or battlegroups when queuing for Battlegrounds or dungeons using the command: /ignore playername-servername(region). Note that the user interface Ignore function and "/ignore playername" command still do not work correctly for players on different battlegroups and will require a future patch to correct.
    * Releasing one's spirit after dying while on a transport or in a vehicle should no longer cause the player to disconnect.


Classes

    * Area-of-effect abilities such as Consecration, Efflorescence, Healing Rain, Holy Word: Sanctuary, Ring of Frost, and Smoke Bomb now function correctly when cast on any trapdoors (ala Cho'gall) or transports even while the caster is not standing on one of those same objects.


Death Knight (Forums / Cataclysm Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)

    * Death's Advance may now not allow movement-impairing effects to reduce the death knight below 60/75% of normal movement speed, down from 75/100%.

Druid (Forums / Cataclysm Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)

    * Starfall no longer exceeds 20 stars within its duration.
    * Moonfury (Balance druid passive) now increases Arcane and Nature damage by 10%, down from 15%. More information can be found here.
    * Mangle (Bear) and Maul (Bear) damage has been increased by approximately 10%.
    * Frost Nova, Tranquility, War Stomp, and Starfire are all properly scaled when used by or on a druid in Tree of Life form. The previous temporary hotfix which removed the ability to use War Stomp while in Tree of Life form has been reverted.


Hunter (Forums / Cataclysm Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)

    * Auto Shot was not firing while the hunter was moving under certain conditions. Auto Shot should now always function correctly while the hunter is moving.
    * Having a melee weapon equipped no longer causes the tooltips for Cobra Shot and Steady Shot to incorrectly display extra benefit from haste.
    * The cooldown for Master's Call has been increased to 45 seconds, up from 35. In addition, it can now be dispelled.
    * The Warp Stalker ability Time Warp can no longer be used on paladins with the Divine Shield buff active.


Mage (Forums / Cataclysm Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)

    * The Quad Core buff provided by the Sanctified Bloodmage 4-piece set bonus is now properly removed as soon as a spell is cast if the mage does not have 4 pieces of the set equipped.


Paladin (Forums / Cataclysm Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)

    * Beacon of Light no longer triggers from Light of Dawn.
    * Glyph of Dazing Shield correctly causes Avenger's Shield to daze the target, and only allows Avenger's Shield to trigger the dazed effect.
    * The area-of-effect attack of Hammer of the Righteous no longer has a chance to miss secondary targets when the primary attack hits the paladin's target. If the primary attack of Hammer of the Righteous fails to hit the target due to miss/dodge/parry/block, no enemies will be affected by the area-of-effect attack. Rogues who are under Cloak of Shadows, however, are able to resist this damage.
    * The Warp Stalker ability Time Warp can no longer be used on paladins with the Divine Shield buff active.


Priest (Forums / Cataclysm Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)

    * Inner Focus can no longer be cast before the effect of its preceding spell completes (Inner Focus will only be applied to spells that are cast after it).
    * Shadow Power (Shadow priest passive) now increases Shadow damage by 15%, down from 25%. More information can be found here.
    * Sin and Punishment now works properly when two players of the same faction are fighting each other (including in Arenas). A string error may appear when the opponent is feared even though the talent functions correctly.


Rogue (Forums / Cataclysm Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)

    * Combat Readiness now triggers from all ranged attacks.
    * Gouge is now breaking properly from spell and ability damage.

    * All Vicious Gladiator's weapons (item level 372) have been temporarily removed from the Glorious Conquest Quartermasters until the time is right to officially introduce them into Azerothian society.


PvP

    * Many items incorrectly rendered unusable in rated Battlegrounds and Arenas have been made usable again.


Battlegrounds

    * Players should no longer sometimes gets stuck in the world and unable to login upon completing a rated Battleground.
    * Under certain conditions after queuing for Battlegrounds, players were still able to enter the Dungeon Finder queue. While this made it appear as though players were not actually queued properly for Battlegrounds, that wasn't the case. This issue has been fixed so that players cannot queue for both Battlegrounds and via the Dungeon Finder under these select circumstances.


Battle for Gilneas

    * The banners at each capture point now take 8 seconds to capture, up from 5. Note that when the banners are neutral and have not yet been captured by either faction at the start of a battle, they will display the wrong location names (Mine says Farm, Waterworks says Blacksmith, and Lighthouse says Stables).


Races

    * Gift of the Naaru now has a maximum limit to the amount healed when used on friendly NPCs with large amounts of health.

    * The hotfix to Beacon of Light and Light of Dawn on February 11 did not produce the intended results and has been reverted. Light of Dawn should still trigger Beacon of Light.


Raids & Dungeons
Blackwing Descent

    * The Atramedes achievement Silence is Golden was incorrectly failing when any raid member's sound bar went over 30%. The achievement now requires no one's sound bar to go over 50% as advertised.

February 16
Druid (Forums / Cataclysm Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)

Shaman (Forums / Cataclysm Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)

    * Purification (Restoration passive) now grants a 25% bonus to healing effects, up from 10%. More information can be found here.


Priest (Forums / Cataclysm Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)

    * In addition to its current effects, the Body and Soul talent now grants 12.5%/25% reduction to the base mana cost of Power Word: Shield. This is not reflected in the tooltip, but is reflected in the amount of mana used when Power Word: Shield is cast by Holy priests who have this talent. The tooltip update will require a client-side patch.
    * Power Word: Shield now costs roughly 34% of base mana, up from 25%. This is not reflected in the tooltip, but is reflected in the amount of mana used when the spell is cast. The tooltip update will require a client-side patch.

    * Aspect of the Hawk now provides around an additional 2000 attack power at level 85.

Warlock (Forums / Cataclysm Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)

    * Instant-cast Shadowbolts from Shadow Trance (both the talent and Glyph of Corruption versions) should no longer consume charges of Backdraft if both procs are available. Shadow Trance will always take priority and be consumed first when Backdraft is active. Subsequent Shadowbolts will consume Backdraft stacks.


Warrior (Forums / Cataclysm Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)

    * Two-Handed Weapon Specialization (Arms passive) now gives 20% bonus damage with two-handed weapons, up from 10%.


Dungeon Finder

    * If a party member remains outside of a dungeon for more than 3 minutes, they become eligible for removal, regardless of other Vote Kick restrictions.
    * When players queue as a group with a tank or a healer, and the tank or healer drops group (or is kicked) within the first 5 minutes, all of the other players who queued with them are removed from the group as well.
    * If there is a group of 3 or more friends and someone in that group initiates a Vote Kick of a random party member, it now requires 4 votes to kick the player, instead of the standard 3 votes.
    * The penalty for using the Vote Kick feature too often is not issued to a player who kicks someone with whom they queued for a dungeon (i.e. the party member being selected for removal is not a player randomly selected via the Dungeon Finder).
    * The penalty for using the Vote Kick feature too often will be issued much more quickly to players who join as a party of 4 and kick the randomly selected 5th player.
    * The penalty for using the Vote Kick feature too often will now not allow the player to initiate a Vote Kick for 2 hours, up from 45 minutes.
    * These changes will require realm restarts to take effect. More information can be found here.


Dungeons & Raids

    * When switching a normal raid dungeon over to Heroic difficulty, players were instantly becoming saved without warning. There is now a warning dialog box which will appear before the difficulty is changed.

February 25
Dungeons & Raids

    * Blackout will no longer hit players sent down to the Twilight Zone by either Valiona or Theralion.
    * Collapsing Twilight Portal should no longer close faster when a person uses it while on Heroic difficulty. It now has a set duration.

Quest & Creatures
Tol Barad Peninsula

    * The quest "Walk A Mile In Their Shoes" has not always been correctly awarding players with quest credit after completing the escort event. This quest is being temporarily disabled and removed from the achievement criteria for Just Another Day in Tol Barad. This fix will require a realm restart to take effect.
