News Roundup: Win a Brew Pup, Patch 5.4.8 Tomorrow, Significant Tweets, Warlords Guides Update
Significant Tweets
These are @WowheadTweets significant tweets from our Blue Tweet Tracker, since Friday.
On the Level 90 Guides launched today:
Few notes on the Crash Course videos, to answer a few questions: (brief tweet spam inc)
— Lore (@CM_Lore) May 19, 2014
1) They're intended to give you a starting point that you can start playing immediately, and then learn from, not teach you everything.
— Lore (@CM_Lore) May 19, 2014
2) For that reason, they focus on one of the simplest specs to jump into quickly AND still be marginally effective. Not necessarily top DPS.
— Lore (@CM_Lore) May 19, 2014
3) This is as much a crash course for us as it is for a viewer. We'll be taking feedback and considering it for potential future updates. :)
— Lore (@CM_Lore) May 19, 2014
4) Focused on "fundamental basics you need to still enjoy relevant content." Timeless Isle a major focus.
— Lore (@CM_Lore) May 19, 2014
5) AOE rotations, CD usage, utility spells - not needed to kill yaks on the Isle. Hopefully made clear in the video there is more to learn.

@CM_Exhil Quite possibly! New series for WoD next priority. Other specs will likely have to wait til after then.
— Lore (@CM_Lore) May 19, 2014
Re: other specs. Focused on just one spec for each class in these. Likely to add others in the future, but updating them all for 6.0 first.
— Lore (@CM_Lore) May 19, 2014
@Rhykes_ Only content that's going live are patch noted. There will be additional information on that at a later date.

On the patch's launch:
@Maegoree Sometime tomorrow.

@holinka @devolore @trucqulent @Celestalon Add-On authors using protected CVars will need to update their Add-Ons post-5.4.8.
— Rygarius (@Rygarius) May 16, 2014
Ro has helpfully compiled what UI Add-Ons are unaffected by protected CVar changes in 5.4.8: http://t.co/I05xXZMnwc

On Hunter Talents:
@LukasIdea @Spiattalo That's... not actually true, you realize? It doesn't matter if a row is stronger for one spec; row is still balanced.
— Celestalon (@Celestalon) May 18, 2014
@Spiattalo @Nogz__ The problem is when one talent mandates another. It's OK if *occasionally* two talents are incompatible. Still a choice.
— Celestalon (@Celestalon) May 18, 2014
On Restoration Shaman Mastery:
@joe_riddiford Perhaps you misunderstood something? We're moving away from smart heals. Deep Healing works better in Warlords model.
— Celestalon (@Celestalon) May 18, 2014
On Army of the Dead:
@Shoningun No; the 4sec of damage reduction is remaining. Yes, that's a buff, since it's no longer in lieu of being able to dodge/parry.
— Celestalon (@Celestalon) May 18, 2014
On Chi Explosion:
@skinderhaug Yes.
— Celestalon (@Celestalon) May 17, 2014
On Combat Resurrections:
@RethulUrNo No. Having more combat resurrection providers does not increase the number of combat resurrections available to you in a raid.
— Celestalon (@Celestalon) May 17, 2014
On Wild Pet Types:
@undeadgoat That's the plan.

Warlords of Draenor Guide Updates
It wasn't just Wowhead's Mists of Pandaria Level 90 Guides that were updated today with Blizzard's Crash Course videos, our Warlords of Draenor Class Changes Guides have also been updated today, just like they are every time there's new information to add.
Every time we mark a tweet as Significant, and re-share it on @WowheadTweets and on our Blue Tweet Tracker, we're also adding it to our Warlords of Draenor Class Changes Guides so that they feature the most up-to-date information possible. Check the "last updated" date at the top of your class's guide to see when we last added information, if it's not recent that just means there hasn't been new tweets or Warlords of Draenor patch notes to share.
