Just breezing over them at a first glance, we can see that there are tooltip changes galore, including a distressing change to Enrage for us fury warriors (bleeds look to be excluded from Enrage now, as it now states physical damage instead of all damage). Holiday companions that used to require a reagent now just work during their holiday, like the Winter Reindeer. That's a nice change, in my opinion.
We'll be bringing you the best of the patch 4.3 PTR changes all night long, so keep an eye on the site.
Brace yourselves for what could be some of most exciting updates to the game recently with patch 4.3. Look at what's ahead: new item storage options, cross-realm raiding, cosmetic armor skinning and your chance to battle the mighty Deathwing -- from astride his back!

@ Drakkenfyre:
The PTR clients patch and update the same way the live clients do. I have not had to redownload it.

"holiday companions that used to require a reagent now just work during their holiday"
do not like that at all... granted i never really used the reindeer/snowman/tiny gnome elf guy, they should just make them usuable at anytime.

Wow. Dethroning an inactive GM. Sounds cool but what if they want to take a month off? That will be interesting to see how that plays out.

Yes, but if a GM who wants to just take a month off doesn't take the initiative to inform his second in command that he is doing so, he deserves to be "dethroned". To GMs who are worth their salt, this dethroning feature doesn't pose a serious threat and in fact provides a solid contingency plan should catastrophe strike.

Important Enhancement Shaman news:
They are killing spellpower weapons in 4.3.
Check out the change to Mental Quickness.

First we get the Timelord Mage tier.
Then we get the Angel Priest set (which looks amazing)
What's next? Dalek Death Knights?

wow, according to the datamine, there's a ton of new mounts and pets!
me happy!
i wonder if goblins are in that datamine? they sure seem to like mining things.
then again, that could be a future expansion! World of Warcraft: The Goblin Datamine
nah. that'd be silly, like pandas or something.
WOOT! NEW PETS!
