I don’t pay a lot of attention to non-pet hunter news, but this post from Ghostcrawler, referenced on MMO Champion today, did catch my eye:

The Lunar Festival started today!
That doesn’t have much to do with pets, really, but it did bring us final confirmation that Omen — the big furry two-headed Kurken-like raid boss of Moonglade during the Lunar Festival — cannot be tamed. As you can see, he is officially a demon.
Patch 3.0.8 hit the live servers this morning, and it’s a doozy. As always, you can find the latest patch notes on WoW’s patch notes page, but here’s some of the hunter-specific bits:

I haven’t had much chance to stay updated on the current Public Test Realm, but I noticed today that MMO Champion reported an update to the PTR patch notes yesterday — complete with handy old-vs-new notations — and a new build (9438) today. So if you’re jonesing for PTR info, swing by MMO Champion, ’cause unfortunately they know more than I do.
