fizboz Character Info Fizzik 80 Blood Elf Warlock Dunemaul US PvP Guild: Ghosts of Damnation Profile: Blizzard Armory Talent Spec: 0/13/58	3.3 PTR Patch Notes Below are selected bits of the 3.3 PTR patch notes. Full notes can be found here. Thanks to Ericmonstr, who pointed out a few of the changes and started a thread. Classes: General Default Equipment: Starting weapons are now more uniform. Rogues now start with a pair of daggers equipped. All other classes except shamans start with a 2-handed weapon equipped and the required skill already known. Shamans start with a 1-handed weapon and a shield, as they benefit more from the shield than they would from a 2-handed weapon. Glancing Blows: The mage, warlock, and priest classes no longer have an increased chance for their melee attacks to be glancing blows; and the damage penalty due to their glancing blows is the same as for other classes. Health and Mana Regeneration: These regeneration rates have been increased by up to 200% for low level characters. As a player's level increases, the regeneration rates gradually reduce, returning to normal rates at level 15. Spell Mana Costs: These costs have been reduced for almost all lower level spell ranks. In general, if a spell decreased in cost with a higher level rank in patch 3.2.0, that spell now has the decreased cost at all ranks. In addition, spells learned before level 20 with reduced cast times and/or durations have even further reduced mana costs, proportionate to their reduction in cast time or damage. Races: General Racial Attribute Bonuses: These bonuses have been recalibrated to even out the amount of starting health on the various races. All races start with a standardized level of stamina, except for orcs, dwarves, and tauren who now start with 1 extra point of stamina. For each class, bonuses and penalties to all attributes have been adjusted so that each race has an equal attribute total. Warlocks Pets Avoidance (passive): Now reduces the damage your pets take from area-of-effect damage by 90%, but no longer applies to area-of-effect damage caused by other players. Summon Imp: This ability is now available from the trainer for level 1 warlocks and no longer requires a quest to learn. Voidwalker : Suffering now taunts enemies within 10 yards. (Up from 5 yards) Professions Enchanting Black Magic: This enchantment now sometimes increases haste rating for the caster rather than inflicting the caster's target with a damage-over-time effect. It is also now triggered by landing any harmful spell rather than inflicting damage with a spell. Unholy Weapon: now inflicts Shadow damage in addition to the damage reduction effect.

Belthezor Character Info Belthezor 80 Blood Elf Warlock Draenor US PvE PvP Guild: BCBuds Profile: Blizzard Armory Talent Spec: 56/0/15	Re: 3.3 PTR Patch Notes No quest for the imp?? Man this is the total opposite direction that I was hoping for, but I am not suprised. I want MORE class quests. Why are they just giving us our cool goodies without letting us go through a quest that they wrote!? Its a big waste and it wasn't that hard to get to begin with. First the Dreadsteed now the imp.. next ALL minions will be without quests:( Black Magic... I really wanted this just because it sounds cool and the visual is just real cool, but who would take it over the spell power buff? Even now.

Sasztam Character Info Sasztam 80 Human Warlock Dentarg US PvP Guild: Pure Energy Talent Spec: 3/13/55	Re: 3.3 PTR Patch Notes Once again I give the patch notes a resounding "eh...." It's good that they're trying to take a pretty lame enchantment and make it legitimately interesting but unless it's a LOT of haste or else can be up pretty much all the time I don't see it being better than a static spell power enchant. As for the avoidance changes all I can say is that I'm so happy that my pet will be even easier to kill in battlegrounds. __________________ You don't need defenses, you're ranged!

Tatlreach1 Character Info Tatlreach 80 Undead Warlock Hellscream US PvE Guild: EWTS Crew Talent Spec: 0/14/57	Re: 3.3 PTR Patch Notes Ugh, more fixes we really didn't need. Seems like they're just doing busy work so it doesn't look like nothing in the eyes of customers. Either that or Cataclysm prep. but still. The only remotely useful thing is the Black Magic enchant buff. ty

Khaf Character Info Khaf 80 Blood Elf Warlock Uldaman US PvE Guild: Fruit Explosion Profile: Blizzard Armory Talent Spec: 0/53/18	Re: 3.3 PTR Patch Notes Yes! No more imp quest! Man, I remember when I started, wasting weeks and all that gold to get my imp. Such an elaborate and demanding quest should not be thrown on newbie warlocks just so they can have a minion, a core feature of the class. It makes more sense too. I mean, the Twisting Nether is basically a demon pet shop. I didn't get why we couldn't just ask our warlock trainers to bring out the cutest looking imp for us to take as pets to grow old with in the first place.
