Class Changes Talent BalanceDeveloper Commentary: A primary focus for class changes in Patch 6.1 is improving overall talent balance. Not every talent needs to be useful in every situation; and in fact it's often better if they have strengths and weaknesses. But we do try to have each talent be useful in some situations, and make them close enough in value that if you really enjoy the gameplay of a talent you don't feel like you're dragging your group down by using it.For these changes we focused primarily on tuning (tweaking numbers), and nearly all changes are buffs to underperforming talents. The goal is to reach more variety of viable builds, without bringing down the existing popular choices.

Follower Weaponry and Armor Set tokens (War Ravaged, Blackrock, Goredrenched) no longer drops from salvage.

Why?Comment by Alfa They basically made the salvage yard useless now Comment by Scotia I'd like to know this, too. How the heck am I supposed to get follower upgrade tokens anymore? My large buildings are a barracks and a stables. Are they forcing us to build the Dwarven building now? I get 99% of my follower upgrade items from salvage.

And, yes, Salvage Yard is basically useless now. Comment by Draccy Legendary quest line awards a new epic follower?
Garona got nerfed? Comment by Kookiebiskit I am confused about the addition of transmog belts for the rare PvP sets, but not the epic ones. After all, you see a TON more people run around in Grand Marshal's / High Warlord's gear than Knight-Lieutenant / Blood Guard gear.
