Wowhead's 3.1 PTR site

With all this patch 3.1 PTR news and speculation flying around, it's useful to have a place that simply accumulates hard information on spells, items, talents, quests, and so on. Wowhead's new PTR site is that place. This is the first time to my knowledge that they've done a PTR-specific site; there was a site for the WotLK beta as well, which was very handy.
On the PTR site you can find a page for basically everything as it is in the latest PTR build. I find the talent calculator especially useful. There is also a nicely formatted page listing everything new in patch 3.1, which some people may find helpful in building their Ulduar wish lists. My Ulduar wish list is something like "Please, oh great RNG, give me something without a ton of Armor Penetration on it for my Unholy DK" (actually, I'll probably just give in and respec Blood+MoG).
We've been using the PTR site since it went up to provide tooltips for new and updated spells and items. If you need some 3.1 information, take a look.
Patch 3.1 brings us Ulduar, dual specs, significant changes to all the classes, and more! We've got you covered from top to bottom with our Guide to Patch 3.1.Filed under: Patches

its good to reiterate though. plenty of people dont know about it from the first time it was mentioned

Aye, I've been using this for a while now.
It's interesting looking at the items in Ulduar... although most of them have placeholder stats.

I'm enjoying the fact that on the list of new weapons all the dps caster weapons are swords. Awesome for moonkins who are already annoyed the BiS weapon has a useless regen stat on it.

They've been doing PTR sites for a LONG time now... back since BC if I recall correctly.

I'm really hoping that the comments from the test realm don't make it to the live items this time. I'm still tired of reading someone's conjecture on a spell/item/quest from the beta whenever I look it up.

Its rather funny how you guys pick your subjects to write your daily bunch of pseudo-articles.
Do you use a hat or a bingo machine to choose them?
Tumleren Mar 23rd 2009 8:10PM
I'm guessing a bingo machine, where they choose hats from which they then take a slip of paper directing them to another hat in which the topics of today are placed

I really don't like using wowhead anymore because it now launches a party poker site when you open it up, really disappointed with wowhead since it sold
