Fact

Blizzard's Oct 8 beta notes. Class weapon chain: creatures for 'Storm, Earth, and Fire' respawn faster and drop Twisted totems more often; Maraudine Scouts now drop Twisted Air Totems, Ongeku can drop a Twisted Earth Totem, Murdaloc can drop a Twisted Fire Totem, and Dustbelcher ogres across the Badlands can drop Twisted Fire Totems; the Eye of the Tempest for 'Heed My Call' is now multi-drop, so a group finishes it together. Spells: Flametongue Totem uses the target's attack speed when the target is shapeshifted; Lightning Bolt ranks 1-5 adjusted so each new rank is an upgrade; Fire Nova no longer triggers and immediately consumes Elemental Focus; Water Shield's tooltip shows the correct Mana restored and no longer lists a 15-second cooldown; Mana Tide Totem's pulse visual is back; Revelation Enchant's buff survives shifting into Ghost Wolf. Leveling in the same build: creatures in dungeons give about 20% more XP, and the City of Dalaran dungeon is open for testing.
