The archaeology feature has been in game since prepatch if I'm not mistaken.

Comment by Neodarkmatter

Moonkin form is now transparent when using Masquerade rather than changing to the Night Elf disguise.

Comment by 514182

Found that they give shamans the Earthbinding totem baseline without root (you can still talent to it).

Comment by ChaosJackal

On at least one occasion I found that my ghost was able to fly in Suramar, allowing me to easily get back to my corpse.

Comment by robbiedehand

Not sure if this was documented, but: As of the new patch whenever you are at an Archeological dig site and get close to an find (when the little dig meter blinks green), you will get an indication that your character 'is right on top of an artifact', via two notifications:
- A temporary status effect in the same area as your status buffs with the Archeology Icon
- A small shovel with a light above the player.

Basically, very smol but nice QoL improvement.

that little shovel has been there since legion launch

Comment by 575211

This has been in the game sine Legion was launched, maybe even as early as the Pre-Legion patch. Otherwise, nice find.

"Many Druid-themed tunics are now robes" D: I like them better when they're not robes :/

Comment by musicallittle1

They fixed the Dalaran hearthstone :) Now it is right next to its buddies in your bag.

Comment by Furydeath

using might of dalaran to complete a world quest no longer counts as one of the 4 for the daily chest.

Comment by neerx

I noticed the icon for mage class hall teleport now looks dissimilar from the other teleport/portal spells on my bar.

Comment by urielvazquez

I confirm it's been in the game since the prepatch, been leveling my Archeology skill through the expansion and this helped a lot.

"Many Druid-themed tunics are now robes" D: I like them better when they're not robes :/

It's not that I like them better...but feel like both versions should be available through some means. I'd also love if they had robe, chest, kilt, and pants all available, so you can mix and match (though I suppose at that point, full robe is fairly pointless to have when chest+kilt have the same effect). I love robes, but I think it would be more fun to mix and match the different bottoms and tops.

Comment by Darknessvamp

I've got a couple of undocumented Hunter changes for you.

Hunter
PvE
Hati will reset to her wolf form on major patch applications.

PvP
Honor Talents and are now separate abilities with a 1 minute cooldown and their effects apply for only 8 seconds.

Comment by Ozirisa

I got really annoyed with druid gear changes. I was collecting the pieces of T19 on my DH to transmog it when I get the Manasaber mount and the robe just doesn't fit DH, so my big transmog hype is gone

Sorry, not signing up for Discord just to participate in a poll.

Comment by Skathes

another change not mentioned.

enslave demon now only works on mobs up to level 109 instead of 110.

Comment by Keeyla

"Robes of the Dreamgrove are actually a robe now"

THANK. ELUNE. All the other class hall sets were amazing, and then ours had these ridiculous shorts.

Comment by mugetsu357

You can also Solo Galakras from SoO now. As they made is so he's stunned longer so you can hit him with the same cannon twice. Which makes the fight extremely shorter and less tedious

Comment by Zeretuel

minor, but for those leveling herbalism by farming the garrison garden, before this patch above level 100 you couldnt loot the guys that spawned sometimes. After patch you can again.

Comment by krissis

the totem war harnesses from highmountain now show on most druid forms
the moonkin buff for an instant cast doesn't affect solar wrath, an has its old angry bird sound
while flapping, any disguises are hidden
