All class abilities which place a buff on friendly targets no longer generate any threat.

The exception is buffs which directly cause healing or damage, such as Шипы or Обновление. Abilities such as these still generate normal threat.

When interrupted while casting a single-school spell such as Пытка разума or Ледяная стрела, players will now be able to cast dual-school spells such as Пронзание разума (Frost and Shadow schools) or Шквал (Frost and Fire schools).

Professions

Players can no longer skin corpses already being actively skinned or looted by other players.

PvP

Conquest Points

The minimum cap on Conquest Points earned per week is now 1500 at 1500 or less Battleground rating. The maximum cap remains 3000 at 3000 or more Battleground rating. The cap continues to scale non-linearly between those two points.
The game now separately tracks different Conquest Point caps for Battlegrounds and Arenas. The cap for Arena rating will always be 2/3 of the cap for Battleground rating at any given Arena rating. Players may earn a total number of Conquest Points per week equal to the higher of these two caps, but once players have reached the cap for either Arenas or Battlegrounds, they can no longer earn Conquest Points from that source. Conquest Points from Battleground holidays only count toward the total Conquest Point cap.

Quests & Creatures

There are no longer oddities in the critical strike and dodge chance of lower-level creatures.

User Interface

Raid Profiles are in the process of being implemented and are not fully functional. Raid Profiles will allow players to save the raid window user interface layout based on type of content (i.e. 10-player raids, 25-player raids, Battlegrounds, etc.).
