  • Priests

    • Divine Aegis will no longer produce a shield if the full heal that should cause it is absorbed by a death knight's Necrotic Strike.

  • The Satchel of Exotic Mysteries given to the member(s) of a class role eligible for Dungeon Finder: Call to Arms rewards now has an increased chance of containing a non-combat pet.

  • The Bastion of Twilight

    • The timing between Corrupted Adherent Summons and Cho'gall Fury is consistent with its behavior prior to 4.1.
