There’s a fog of anticipation hanging in the air around fortress Blizzard, it’s less than two weeks till the launch of Mists of Pandaria. By way of needing to look busy – by this point the patch has been loaded into its cage and suspended above the world… of warcraft and all it takes is for Michael Morhame to cut the rope securing the cage with his ceremonial knife – so they’ve released a patch to tweak a couple of spells and fix a number of bugs.
Details below.
The full details from Blizzardare copied in beneath, but don’t be expecting any major changes with so little time between now and the launch ceremony. What we’ve got here is all house cleaning:
Classes
- Many tooltips have been corrected to account for recent class balance adjustments.
- Druid
