Lesser known changes you've found thus far in new patch...

1. My Hunter pet went from 40ish HP to over 250, and scales up to 340ish with +15 stam Rumsey Black Label. This scaling never happened previously. Pet still hits for basically nothing however on higher level targets.

2. BOA exploit where you could xmog heirlooms so long as the weapon it's being xmogged into has no level requirement. That has been fixed, and I found hard way :( Mailed my xmogged bow over to my main to see if any scopes would work on it. Sent it back and the bow reverted back to its normal state. Tried doing it multiple other times with no success. IF YOU HAVE XMOGGED HEIRLOOM GEAR ON YOUR LEVEL 1, DO NOT MAIL IT! Sucks but unless you don't mind losing the look it's now basically stuck to your twink :/

3. My attacks are now getting dodged as a Hunter since we now require expertise. Doesn't appear to be anyway presently in the game to get it at level 1.

4. We lost our Two Hand weapons obviously, but our bow/gun went from 4.0DPS to 8.0DPS. Huge DPS loss either way, and pyrium weapon/any scope doesn't work on it at level 1.

^^Image shows pet health increase/expertise rating.

Overall, huge nerf for Hunter twinks. We can attack in melee range now with our weapons however.

That's all I've found so far. What have you found about your class? I'm going to be testing out my level 1 Paladin twink shortly, and will come back with the results.

My warrior went from bad to worse.
With the way battle stance works, you no longer gain rage from taking damage, instead only doing damage.
If your attacks are dodged/parried, you get none.
If you get no rage, you can't use Heroic Strike.
In other words, you're a free kill to rogues
 
yeah...we figured hunters would take a huge hit ... didn't count on the rage thing for warriors...that might officially make them the worst possible lvl1 twink ever
 
pyrium weapon chain still works for me
 
had pally with 10+ parry to shield and got 22/23 % rating. Also deleting toons to wipe their achies will not work.

This applies to multiple brackets. Thanks for notifying!
 
glad blizz did something right and NERFED THE SH@T out of hunters. CYA 3 button class's.

Edit : Has pyrium chain been fixed?

To be fair, Hunters at 85 actually were very buffed in PVP. I'm noticing a loss of DPS in PVE, but that's mainly because our gear doesn't have expertise on it yet. Result is having to lose a lot of haste/crit/mastery to reforge to it.

Pyrium chain can't be put on any ranged weapons. Appears to be able to still be put on regular weapons though.

i ment low level hunters, i myself play 85 hunter.

thanks for weapon chain update.
 
I found out that some of the non boa weapons have been buffed in damage such as, Simple Dagger. And that Throw is really OP... No Global Cooldown, no CD, and .5 second cast
 
^.^ I don't even twink anymore but just stuff that I had in my bags and I was leveling a new rogue. Thought it would be helpful.
 
OH...for you hunters:
