Posts with tag patch-3.0.8-a

In the fast and furious world of Wrath of the Lich King, Blizzard delivers a new patch hot on the heels of the less-than-stellar Patch 3.0.8. According to MMO Champion, Patch 3.0.9 will be going live this week, likely after Tuesday's weekly maintenance. It's a relatively minor patch but will have some significant changes for some classes and encounters. Notable changes include:

• Paladin seals now last 30 minutes and are no longer dispellable
• The Divine Plea nerf is pushing through, with the heal penalty raised to 50% but no longer dispellable
• Hunger for Blood was buffed, and Mutilate was nerfed
• Curse of Tongues, Slow, and Mind-Numbing Poison were nerfed to a maximum of 30% casting speed penalty
• The void fissures in the Obsidian Sanctum have been recolored to make the encounter easier

The rest of the changes after the jump.

Nethaera has posted the official "patch notes" for patch 3.0.8.9506/3.0.8a today. They are listed in their entirety after the break.

These notes mirror what Ghostcrawler said in a series of posts last night. I imagine that these patch notes could be updated at some future time, listing more bug fixes if they're present. So you'll probably want to check back later and see if that's the case.
