Happy patch day, partially inspired by the previous 20's patch notes thread , here's a copypasta'd 9.1 patch notes with all the relevant 20's info filtered out
CLASS CHANGES
Player versus Player
Transmog Changes
New Eyeglass Cosmetics
You can purchase cosmetic eyeglasses from vendors in Stormwind and Orgrimmar. Both vendors are located near their city's barber shops. Currently these NPCs sell five different styles of glasses. It is unknown if the sixth datamined pair,
Shaded Spectacles, will be added to the game through a different source.
Separate Shoulder Transmogs
With patch 9.1: Chains of Domination you will be able to transmog each of your shoulders separately. On the transmog menu, you will see a checkbox to toggle transmogging shoulders separately; when selected, you will have transmog options for both left and right shoulders.
tl;dr Surv Hunters get buffed, 5 new PVP talents:
Chaotic Imprint
Tranquilizing Darts
Consecutive Concussion (in-game tooltip is wrong)
Unleash Shield
Static Field Totem
The 2 new Shaman PVP talents look like fun, plus the Control of Lava change, though idk how often healers would want to dispel Flame Shock anyway. Let me know if I missed something
Edit: Cosmetic Changes for 9.1 added as well
