  • All abilities that have base cooldowns of 10 minutes or longer cannot be used in Arenas, down from 15 minutes.

Battlegrounds

  • Battleground Experience: Battleground experience gained is now based on the level of the player gaining experience, rather than the highest possible player level in that Battleground.

User Interface

  • Group Disenchanting Option: In addition to rolling Need or Greed on items, players now have the option to elect for an item to be disenchanted if an enchanter of the appropriate skill level is in the group. Disenchant works exactly like Greed except if a player wins the Greed roll, they will receive the disenchanted materials instead. Players who choose Need will always win the item and will always beat those that choose Greed or Disenchant.

    The changes to meeting stones is awesome. LoH giving forbearance is a better alternative then not being able to cast it on yourself.

    Well, it accomplishes the same thing as not allowing it to be cast on self: Pallys only get one definite full heal.

    I dont mind the forbearance on loh, but as a tank its gonna suck for 2 reasons, a pally healing could mess up your cd use. also as a healer wouldnt want to use it on a tank, (I never use loh when healing but maybe for mana on my self and I rarely go below 15k mana anyways)
