Patch 4.3.2 PTR Notes


Source

Classes: General
  • Vengeance is no longer triggered by receiving damage from other players.
Druid Druid
  • The Tier 13 Balance Druid 4-piece bonus now also increases the damage of Starsurge by 10%, in addition to its current effect.
Hunter Hunter
  • Aspect of the Hawk now grants roughly 35% more attack power.
  • Deterrence now also reduces damage taken by 30% while active.
  • Black Arrow now ticks every 2 seconds for 20 seconds, as opposed to every 3 seconds for 15 seconds. The total damage dealt by the ability is unchanged.
  • Lock and Load no longer benefits Arcane Shot, nor is it consumed by Arcane Shot.
Mage Mage
  • Fireball damage has been reduced by roughly 6%.
  • Pyroblast damage has been reduced by roughly 6%.
Paladin Paladin
  • Holy Radiance now costs 40% of base mana, up from 35%.
Priest Priest
  • Mass Dispel should again prefer dispelling targets that have magic effects that can be dispelled.
Rogue Rogue
  • Adrenaline Rush no longer triggers a global cooldown.
Dungeons & Raids
  • You can now form same-faction raids with Real ID friends, allowing you to enter Raid Finder in groups larger than 5, run older normal or heroic raids, or participate in Battlegrounds. You will not yet be able to run normal or heroic Dragon Soul with cross-realm raids of Real ID friends.
  • Several typo fixes and clarified descriptions have been added to the Dungeon Journal entries for Dragon Soul.
  • Players can no longer win multiple copies of the same item on a single Raid Finder boss kill. For example, a player who chooses Need on two set piece tokens or two weapons and wins the first, will not be eligible for the second on that particular boss.
  • Baradin Hold
    • The roaming Eyes of Occu'thar have been replaced by hateful creatures who serve Alizabal.
  • Dragon Soul
    • Warmaster Blackhorn
      • The visual warning for Twilight Elites' Blade Rush should be easier to see.
Items
  • Vial of Shadows damage (Lightning Strike) has been reduced to approximately one-third of previous damage. However, it will now trigger approximately 3 times as often. This is intended to keep overall DPS the same while reducing burst damage, especially in PvP.


Patch 4.3.2 64-bit PTR Client

\
I honestly expected this 64-bit client on a pre 5.0 patch but seems like the public tests are starting already.
We shall see if this is going to go live along with 4.3.2 patch.

Source

A 64-bit client is now available for use with the 4.3.2 PTR. You can download it at the link below, unzip it into your PTR directory, and then run the executable to test it.
  • The 64-bit client is being distributed separately from the PTR as it is not yet supported for use with World of Warcraft.
  • This can only be used with the 4.3.2 PTR, it is not to be used with the live version of the game.
  • A Mac version is not available yet, though we are working on one and plan for it to be available in the near future.
  • The game’s built in voice chat does not currently work in the 64-bit client.

If you encounter any issues while using the 64-bit version, please report your findings in the PTR bug report forum ( http://us.battle.net.../forum/2359401/ ), and return to using the 32-bit executable.
