[Feb, 23rd] 9.2 Twentified Patch notes

As bad as it still is, enhance with the split frost/flame shock makes it feel like you *sort of* filled the melee gap. Feels pretty good.
 
Some additional notables from the PVP-only section of the patch notes:

Mana regen in PvP combat reduced:
Resto Druids: 70% (was 60%)
Holy Priests: 55% (was 50%)
Shadow Priests: 20% (was 10%)
Resto Shamans: 60% (was 55%)

All resto druid healing reduced 10% in PvP combat, offsetting the buffs they got i.e. healing buffs are essentially PvE only. Damage buffs remain intact for PvP.

All holy paladin healing increased 6% in PvP combat.

But the REALLY big new comes from the implications here:

USER INTERFACE AND ACCESSIBILITY
  • NEW FEATURE: CLICK CASTING
    • This feature allows you to cast spells by simply clicking on a unit frame.
    • Set up your spell bindings by going to the Key Bindings menu or Interface Options > Combat.
  • NEW SETTING: UNIT FRAME MOUSEOVER CASTING
    • This setting allows you to mouse over a unit frame and cast a spell on that character without targeting them.
    • Access this setting under Interface Options > Combat.
    • Hopefully replacing addons like clique or others.

I don't remember the last time Blizzard made this substantial of an interface change. Finally, finally revealing mouseovers and click functions in the interface is a big deal. They're still not as efficient or elegant as macros we write, but the functionality is there! At long last!

To most of us here and now, this is nothing. But Blizzard made the effort to "iconize" the functionality of two features that set this MMO apart from other games. For Blizzard to finally invest time and resources in such a forward-looking decision bodes very well for long-term plans for World of Warcraft. You don't make a quality of life interface change like this unless you plan on leveraging it. WoW III is just getting warmed up, I tell ya!

Did you catch the new arena mode? Props to @Req for originally alerting 39s to this:

From what the patch notes say, this mode is now accessible via wargames. Instead of starting a wargame with /wg, start with /sswg .

Question: does this mean that using this mode, we can mix and match cross faction?

Nah, I've disconnected three or four times since the servers came back online.

Edit: And D/C'd again right before an escort quest finished... failed it. This is my hell

I completely forgot to mention this, I found it out so long ago on the PTR that it was coming...
