of controlling the opponent. Yes, it could do
you if he gets close, which Fire failed to prevent. Thing have changed. Fire Mages rejoice. It's time to get into PvP.

Loremaster achievements
Ok, here are the new numbers. They won't be in (most likely) until two beta builds from now:
Alliance - Eastern Kingdoms: 700 | Kalimdor: 730
Horde - Eastern Kingdoms: 550 | Kalmidor: 700 (src)
Death Knight
DK now do x2 dmg on melee/spell critical hits
Death knights now do double
damage on melee and spell crits. Normally spell crits are only 1.5x
damage.
This was an intended change. Death knights derive a lot of
damage from spells, but not so much that it made sense to give them a talent to increase spell critical
damage. It's just a passive bonus for them.
We were worried about certain specs not scaling as well with high levels of gear. (src)
Death and Decay
damage lowered
Crypt Fever was removed from its
damage, though apparently not for everyone?
That shouldn't have affected the
damage for Blood and Frost though. We'll try to figure out what happened. We had no intention to nerf it. (src)
Does Blood Gorged need a buff?
It's somewhat balanced because the similar talents in Frost and Unholy are dependent on diseases, which are also unpredictable in PvP.
It's possible you will be doing 10% less
damage than other classes, but A) if our balance is so good that you can detect that difference - yay, and B) PvP fights have a lot more to do with crowd control, interrupts, healing, burst
damage and mana drain than overall dps. If we think these talents' relative weakness in PvP is the tipping point, of course we will revisit them. (src)
Druid
Typhoon
I believe there is a bug with rank 5. The others seem to work correctly. (src)
Hunter
Aimed Shot dmg will be lowered
We'll have to tone down the
damage of Aimed Shot actually, probably in the ballpark of less than what it is now but more than what multi-shot does to a si...
