Patch Day!

Well, folks, patch 3.0.2 is finally upon us! We're all getting forced respec's, which means my mage, my druid(s), and my priest are all going to have to learn to spec all over again.

Today, Blizzard will change the game we know and love, hopefully for the better!

I will be going through my macros and trying to update them as needed, and I'll do my best to post here about the changes that I learn about. One change I know I'll be making is a change to my priest's Silence macro, since it is no longer on the global cooldown. This means I can not only cast it anytime (when combined with /stopcasting), but I can also couple it with a retaliatory spell in the same macro if I want. I'm not sure if I will be doing that, but I USUALLY cast mind flay immediately after silencing something... I guess we'll see what new habit I develop.

Druids can now cast ROOTS indoors. This makes druids the new KINGS of CC, since roots affects ANY TYPE OF TARGET, unlike polymorph, shackle undead, etc. Only a hunter's frost trap is so universal, but isn't directly casted like roots. I think Hunters are getting some new kind of freeze effect, though, so I'll reserve my assumptions for later.

We'll see what happens.
