Well it looks like beta invites have started going out for Wrath of the Lich King and the NDA has been lifted so theres a ridiculous amount of new information coming out.

MMO Champion have a bunch of stuff up with some sample loot and lots of class info, with more to come.

Looks like they've massively changing the threat mechanics. Blessing of Salvation has been removed, and Tranquil Air Totem has been removed. Lots of classes have new threat related talents, or have threat reduction/increase baked into their different stances/forms.

Paladins also have a new "Hand of Salvation" spell they can cast on people which, for 10 seconds, lowers that person's threat by 2% every second. Should make playing a paladin slightly more interesting anyway :P

The changes to stat wording is a nice thing to see too - rolling spell damage & healing into spell power and also changing it so crit/hit/haste rating stats affect both melee & spells.

But... they removed Windwall! How ever shall I be protected against ranged attacks?


Bring on the Beta invite I say!

I'm still wondering if they will ever bring in some kind of threat meter. I know this has been hinted at in the past.

Holy crap hunters are going to rock.

10% chance to get an extra, 60% damage free shot when using auto shot?
Execute like long range attack skill that does huge damage, specialy when under 20% hp?
5% extra damage to whatever group of mobs your tracking?
Being able to tame "exotic" pets? (previously untameable perhaps?)

Hell yeah
