Warlords of Draenor trademark registered in US and Europe
A few days ago Blizzard registered the trademark for Warlords of Draenor in New Zealand and Australia. Tonight, the same trademark has appeared in the US and Europe. The current speculation is that this might be the next World of Warcraft expansion; however, there has been no official announcement from Blizzard yet. We'll all know the truth about WoW's next expansion this Friday at BlizzCon 2013. UPDATE: Post edited to reflect that Warlords of Draenor also just appeared on the US trademark database tonight.
Spiritual Guidance: Mists of Pandaria spell and talent changes for shadow priests
Every week, WoW Insider brings you Spiritual Guidance for discipline, holy and shadow priests. On Wednesdays, shadow priesting expert Fox Van Allen comes from out of the shadows to bask in your loving adoration. He is also scientifically proven more beautiful than boomkin blogger Tyler Caraway. When we first talked about the new-for-Mists of Pandaria talent trees after BlizzCon, there were still a lot of questions to be answered. The main question, of course, was this: What will happen to all the talents that were removed from the old Cataclysm-era trees? Well, wonder no more. Last night, Blizzard went live with an all-new MoP talent calculator. Not only does it contain the new talents we talked about last month, but it also contains a list of what spells will be baseline for what specs and when they're learned. "Don't worry," Blizzard noted. "If you don't see your favorite talent, we've probably just given it to your spec automatically while leveling." And it's true -- shadow priests get a lot of good stuff as baseline abilities, and we're getting a lot of it sooner than you'd expect. But not every shadow priest spell and ability made the cut. In fact, if they all make it to the live version of the game, there are some very surprising changes, additions, and omissions.
