Wrath of the Lich King Classic

Fixed an issue where Group Finder listings would be removed for certain players when moving between zones.
Fixed an issue where the Talent Specialization’s role could be set to tank after changing zones.
Developers’ note: The intention here is that this role selection should always default to DPS, and can be set by players based on how they want to describe their talent builds.
Items and Rewards
Fixed an issue that didn’t allow the auction of certain items carried over from Burning Crusade Classic.
Player versus Player
Updated the current Battleground Bonus Weekend to Warsong Gulch (was Strand of the Ancients).

Quests
For the quest “Runeforging: Preparation for Battle,” Instructor Razuvious will now (begrudgingly) provide a spare Runed Soulblade for Death Knights who have managed to misplace theirs.
Developers’ note: The Opera events in Lower Karazhan have proven to be more lethal than we’d like, particularly given the weekly rotation that makes them more challenging to master in Mythic+. We’ve made a number of adjustments here in hopes of bringing the difficulty of these events in line with our expectations.
The Opera Hall: Beautiful Beast
Silver Forks health reduced by 50%.
Silver Forks Bloody Jab damage over time reduced by 50%.

i know it isn’t that high of a key relatively speaking but I did a 22 earlier - and wikket felt really really easy. as long as people do their jobs w/ the gravity phase.
adds died quick, bosses died quick on fort. it was kinda nice.
Resolved an issue where the Creation Spark fated power could negatively affect the following ability durations: Arcane Vulnerability, Azerite Radiation, Rune of Domination, Rune of Compulsion, Rune of Damnation, Torment, Imprisonment, and Death Sentence.
Resolved an issue where Rune of Compulsion-afflicted players negatively interact with movement speed increasing effects.
Wrath of the Lich King Classic
Druid
Shapeshifting into Cat Form once again automatically activates Track Humanoids.
Fixed an issue that prevented Tauren from using the Barber Shop.
It will now rain blood when Highlord Darion Mograine says “The skies turn red with the blood of the fallen!” during the Death Knight quest “The Light of Dawn.“
Creation Spark has hundreds of “bugs” associated with it because the time increase doesn’t actually result in a benefit for most people. Your cool-downs fall off faster, debuffs fall off faster, debuffs tick faster without falling off sooner (skolex), tanks defensives fall off sooner, like honestly change the buff to, 15/30% haste and 15/30% CDR and remove this time crap.
Fixed an issue where the Dark Ranger customization options for Blood Elf, Night Elf, and Void Elf were missing.
Wrath of the Lich King Classic
Whirlwind animations, such as the Warrior’s Whirlwind and a Rogue’s Fan of Knives, will now appear while moving (was only while standing still).
Druid
Track Humanoids will no longer activate when shapeshifting into Cat Form if Find Minerals, Find Fish, or Find Herbs is already active.
Rogue
Fixed an issue where Overkill would be applied and immediately removed on rogues who did not know that talent.
True to their vocation, Argent Outfitters will now exchange Necrotic Runes for armor and other items in Orgrimmar, Thunder Bluff, and Silvermoon City. They will make their way to the Undercity once enough Scourge have been defeated across Azeroth.
During the quest “City of Light,” Khadgar’s Servant will now continue giving its tour even if the player is not nearby.
Zombies are no longer unstoppable by benefitting from Preparation at the start of battlegrounds. Alterac Valley weekend is saved!
Gathering nodes will now have a sparkling visual effect when being tracked.
Fixed an issue where Group Finder activity level ranges were not correct. They should now more closely match the levels of the Meeting Stones for those dungeons.
Players can now list and browse the Group Finder for dungeons that are below their level.
Latency and other performance information is now visible in the tooltip of the Game Menu button.
