guys i dont realy understand why no1 figured this out yet, stealth (rogue,druid) aint the same as invisibility (mage). when a mage goes invis he sees the world in a blur, he cant see any players or mobs. the only things the mages can see while they are invis is other players that are also invis or players that can see invis themselves. aparantly hunts could see mages with huntersmark on them, but mages couldnt see the hunters that casted it. simple bug fix

Actually i thought WoW could improved Nether-rays like the abilty Nether Beam “50 Foucus 3 1/2 min cool down Does 40-60 instant damage and stuns the traget for 15 sec” now i don’t know about you but thats an improve meant to the poor caster nether rays oh and more differnet color non caster nethers rays would do too.

Nice! Mounts at 30 :D I may finally lvl my drood again ^^
Also, it wasn’t in the patch notes I think but there’s going to be a new mount- the brewfest kodo :D There is some pics of it on MMO-Champion here http://www.mmo-champion.com/index.php (you need to scroll down a bit).
The stopwatch seems useful, especially with bosses enraging and stuff.
Overall seems nice and I’ll be waiting for the next patch ^^

I was just working on that post now, Nimizar. Short answer: the Growl nerf has been implemented this time, and the prioritization bug has not yet been fixed.

The Growl nerf is just what they already said they were going to do in 2.4.2 – it isn’t exactly news (assuming they’ve actually *implemented* it this time). And the only people it will actually affect in any significant way are people soloing as MM spec – BM and SV hunters don’t make a habit of directly buffing their pet’s AP, since they don’t have True Shot Aura.

The more interesting question will be whether or not they fixed the Growl prioritisation bug (if it has been fixed then there should *never* be more than 8 seconds between Growl casts, and usually less).

The official forums are much worse, but I’m really tired of seeing “Mounts at 30 will make the game too easy!”

Walking is not hard. It’s tedious. Not making level 30 players walk is not making things easier, it’s making things less tedious.

I don’t recall nearly as much crying when the 20-60 leveling nerf went into effect.

Maybe the reason for the possible price (and level) reduction of aquiring mounts is that the high price makes it more tempting for players to purchase gold. I just got my lvl 40 warrior a horse and my lvls 43 and 50 hunters have their mounts. I will not resent the price drop if it happens as I have a lvl 37 rogue and a lvl 35 mage now waiting to see what happens in the next patch. It will be like a two for one sale!!! BOGO!!!
