3.08 patch is live. Looks like there are a lot of buffs going around. Plus, the Warlock class wasn’t, in fact, deleted (see last post.)
Death Knights, as one might expect, got buffed, in addition to a bunch of tweaks.
Other classes got their tweaks, too, though not as many.
Lots of stuff in this patch, see WoWinsider for details and commentary about all aspects of the patch.
Just a roundup of a few posts I found interersting.

The test server has some changes to the materials requirements for certain WotLK enchants and Zuggy has posted the list: Patch 3.0.8 Enchanting Changes. Remember that it’s on the test server, so it might not make it to live as written.
Game balance concerns: WoWriot jots down his thoughts on each class and how they stack up in PvP, especially in the arena, but also mentions a few PvE concerns. Talents, abilities, and how they need to be changed. Join in and add to the 250 comments.

Actually, what this really is is an awesome video. The creator says he’s a professional animator and this is his first real, personal, piece.
This is only the second personal creative work I’ve ever posted so I’m a bit nervous about it. The first being an image I painted years ago which…um… we don’t talk about. 🙂 It’s a bit nerve-wracking to post creative work for others to judge.
With over 500 comments , all along the lines of, “Dude, this is Awesome!” I don’t think he has anything to worry about.
This will probably spoil you for other WoW videos and you really need to see it in High Def, which is why I’m not posting the YouTube version here. Check it out, now:
