As many of you know the next major content patch will include some very exciting things, such as Ulduar, a new epic raid dungeon, a wealth of new items, and much more. We thought players would especially enjoy reading just a few of the class changes we're currently planning. Please keep in mind, that this list is not at all comprehensive, and more importantly subject to change.

• Improved Shadow Bolt – this talent now provides a 5% spell critical strike buff (similar to Improved Scorch)


• Improved Soul Leech – this talent now provides Replenishment (similar to shadow priests)


• Drain Soul now has a chance to produce Soul Shards even if the target doesn’t die.


• Siphon Life no longer as an active ability but the talent grants the old Siphon Life effect to Corruption.


• Curse of Recklessness and Curse of Weakness have been combined into one spell


• Consume Shadows – this Voidwalker ability is no longer channeled but has a cooldown.


• Several other warlock talents have had their ranks reduced, their effects changed or removed. This list includes but is not limited to Demonic Empathy, Shadow Embrace, Eradication, Suppression, and Pandemic.


• Additional new talents have been added.
