Priests

  • Blessed Resilience: Now properly triggered by periodic critical strikes.

  • Divine Aegis: This talent will now work properly if the priest moves out of range of his or her target as the effect is resolving.

  • Divine Hymn: This spell now works correctly with the trinket Illustration of the Dragon Soul. Mana Burn: Fixed a bug where Mana Burn did not cause fear effects to break when the fear victim had an absorb shield on.

  • Mass Dispel: This spell now triggers some types of trinkets it did not trigger before (such as Flow of Knowledge).

  • Pain Suppression: No longer can be cast while under the effects of Incapacitate or Cyclone.

Rogues

  • Honor Among Thieves: Periodic critical strikes now grant combo points for rogues with this talent.

  • Killing Spree: Error message when no targets are in range has been changed to "Out of Range."

  • Master of Subtlety: Being under the effects of Cyclone when the buff from this talent is about to expire will no longer make it last indefinitely.

  • Overkill: Being under the effects of Cyclone when the buff from this talent is about to expire will no longer make it last indefinitely.

  • Shiv: Deadly Poison will now apply properly when Shiv is the attack used to break a Gouge.

  • Tricks of the Trade: Using this ability on a target affected by Cyclone or Banish will no longer place the ability on permanent cooldown and will instead give an error message.

  • Immolate and Unstable Affliction: All ranks of these two spells will now overwrite each other.

  • Improved Imp: Each time an Imp is summoned it will recast Blood Pact (if autocast is on), forcing it to benefit from this talent, even if the Imp was not summoned at the time the talent was learned.

  • Improved Shadow Bolt: Redesigned slightly. Instead of a 100% chance to apply a 1/2/3/4/5% critical strike increase on the target, it now has a 20/40/60/80/100% chance to apply a 5% critical strike increase.

    • Glyph of Healing Wave: The heal from this glyph will no longer benefit twice from the Purification talent.
