Patch 4.0.6 is a tooltip display fix and class adjustment patch. Hotfixes applied after 4.0.3a updated the actual spells in the game, but not the tooltips used to display them in the client. This patch fixes that, and makes a few other balance tweaks.

Last Blizzard update: January 28, 7:20 PM PST

Template:Patchnotesbox

General

  • Many tooltips have been updated to reflect any changes made via recent hotfixes.
  • Many rare creatures that went into hiding upon Deathwing's emergence into Azeroth have made a return! In addition to finding new homes in a post-Cataclysm world, they drop new, improved loot, provide a healthy experience bonus, and respawn much more quickly when killed. Happy hunting!
  • Human Illusion: This affect is no longer applied to worgen who travel into the Caverns of Time.

Guilds

  • The guild reward Inv misc babyarmadillopet [Armadillo Pup] now requires revered faction instead of exalted.
  • All guild banners now reward bonus reputation in addition to honor and experience.
  • Guild bank vouchers that players unlock as guild rewards now correctly state that they can only be used by Guild Leaders.
  • Once a guild hits level 23, the daily cap on experience gained is removed.
  • Additional animations have been added to the Armadillo Pet guild reward.
  • The guild faction requirement on the Guild Herald has been lowered to Revered reputation.
  • We have redefined the definition of a Guild Group for 5-player dungeons.
    • If 3 out of 5 players in a group are members of the same guild, they will now be able to complete guild achievements and earn guild experience at 50% of the normal rate.
    • If 4 out of 5 players in a group are members of the same guild, they will now be able to complete guild achievements and earn guild experience at 100% of the normal rate.
    • If 5 out of 5 players in a group are members of the same guild, they will now be able to complete guild achievements and earn guild experience at 125% of the normal rate.
    • Also note that Heroic dungeons offer a 1.5x multiplier on all guild experience earned.

Dungeons & Raids

  • Level-85 players can now choose any normal dungeon via the Dungeon Finder. Choosing Random Dungeon will still not add Blackrock Caverns or Throne of the Tides into the rotation.
  • Level-85 dungeon bosses in Lost City of the Tol'vir, Grim Batol, and Halls of Origination now drop 30 Pvecurrency-justice [Justice Points] each when killed.
  • The daily Random Dungeon reward on normal difficulty has been increased to 140 Justice Points, up from 70.
  • Players no longer need to discover Cataclysm dungeon entrances in order to access them via the Dungeon Finder.

      • The final rope swing while fighting Vanessa VanCleef has been removed. Players no longer need to swing off of the boat at the end of phase 3.
      • Some boat fires will now go out when Vanessa VanCleef is defeated, making it easier to get back onto the ship from the cavern entrance.
      • Vengeance of VanCleef has been redesigned. It is now a stacking buff that increases damage dealt, size, and attack speed, and stacks up to 40 times. Vanessa will begin casting this as soon as she jumps back onto the boat after detonating charges.

  • Halls of Origination
    • The duration of the Flame Wardens' Raging Inferno has been reduced by 80%.
    • Anraphet's Nemesis Strike now does 75% of weapon damage, up from 50%. In addition, the damage-over-time effect applied by this ability does 15,000 damage every 2 seconds, up from 9,000.

      • The Battleground Demolisher no longer has two additional seats and now only has room for the driver.
      • A PvP duration flag has been added to Battleground Demolishers. This should make it so crowd control effects cast on unmanned demolishers does not last an extended amount of time.

    • Daily quest creatures, herbs, minerals, etc. will only spawn when Tol Barad is in the quest phase between battles. There will be 5-minute and 1-minute warnings before the quest phase ends. The quest phase ends 15 minutes before the battle for Tol Barad begins and queuing is made available. At that time any players in the daily micro dungeons will be ported just outside. This does not apply to Tol Barad Peninsula or the daily quests there.
    • The weekly PvP quest "Quest:Victory in Tol Barad" now awards 200 Pvpcurrency-honor-alliancePvpcurrency-honor-horde [Honor Points] and 3 Tol Barad Commendations.

      • Hand of Light (Mastery): A percentage of the damage done by Spell paladin templarsverdict [Templar's Verdict], Crusader Strike, and Ability paladin divinestorm [Divine Storm] is done as additional Holy damage.

      • Spell shadow demonictactics [Demonic Rebirth] now highlights summoning spells when active.
      • Spell warlock demonsoul [Demon Soul]: Imp redesigned. It now increases the critical strike chance of all non instant cast Destruction spells by 30%, rather than increasing critical strike damage. Duration reduced to 20 seconds.
      • Felstorm (Felguard) damage has been reduced by 20%.
      • Ability demonhunter immolation [Immolation Aura] damage has been reduced by roughly 30%.

Warriors

It still cannot be used during Achievement boss kingymiron [Deadly Calm]. This ability was originally designed to help warriors with rage capping, but the Heroic Strike and rage normalization changes seem to have solved that problem on their own. This new design will still allow warriors to burn off excess rage faster, at their discretion.

    • Archaeology finds now grant a guaranteed skill point up to 50 skill, and then no longer grant skill gains, as opposed to granting up to 100 skill very slowly.

Items

  • Inv misc bell 01 [Bell of Enraging Resonance] can now trigger from any damage spell instead of only critical strikes.
  • Inv helmet plate raiddeathknight i 01 [Daybreaker Helm] stats have been reallocated, lowering Strength and increasing parry rating.
  • The Inv misc cat trinket08 [Fury of Angerforge] internal cooldown has been drastically reduced so this trinket will build up charges much faster.
  • The Honor Commodities and Justice Commodities Vendors now sell raw tradeskill materials. These are not intended to be a cost-effective source of these materials, but an option for players with lots of Justice or Pvpcurrency-honor-alliancePvpcurrency-honor-horde [Honor Points] who have already purchased all of the gear that interests them.

Instead, the Heroic PvE helm and shoulder pieces (item level 372) only require their associated Crown/Shoulders of the Forlorn tokens to purchase, and do not require players to obtain the normal helms or shoulders first.
    • The PvE hunter 4-piece set bonus has been redesigned. It now reduces the cast time of Ability hunter steadyshot [Steady Shot] and Ability hunter cobrashot [Cobra Shot] by .2 seconds.
    • The PvE warlock 4-piece set bonus (Fel Spark) now increases the damage done by the next 2 Fel Flame spells by 300%, rather than increasing the critical effect chance of one by 100%.
    • All PvP 4-piece bonuses have had their flat stat values cut in half. Primary stats are very powerful in Cataclysm, so much so that players were considering using PvP gear in PvE just because of these primary stat bonuses.
    • The PvP Balance druid 4-piece set bonus effect has been increased to 20 Solar Energy and 13 Lunar Energy, up from 5 and 13. The effect will also now be more intelligent at choosing whether to give the druid Lunar or Solar Energy (it checks the Balance Power to determine which to give depending on which energy is higher at the time).
