5.4 PTR Patch Notes: Updated August 27th, Build 17337 Spell Changes
The 5.4 PTR Patch Notes were updated tonight with class changes and some details about new noodle cooking carts!
The
noodle carts
will turn players into a vendor who can distribute powerful food to allies.
The recipes for noodle carts can be learnt from questing, such as
The Secret Ingredient Is...
. Players can pick up these quests when they have one of the initial "Ways" recipes already learnt, on the
Timeless Isle
.
Class changes include:
(Holy) now has a cooldown of 3 minutes (down from 5 minutes), and summons a guardian that heals the ally that the Paladin healed for 100% (up from 10%) of the amount healed, but no longer heals nearby friendly targets.
Rogue Tier-15 4-piece set bonus now causes
Shadow Blades
to reduce the cost of all abilities by 15% (down from 40%).
Healing Rain
's healing has been reduced by 30%, and the area-of-effect has been increased to 12 yards (up from 10 yards).
Nature's Vigil
when activated now increases all damage and healing done by 12% (up from 10%), and causes single-target healing spells to trigger an additional heal on a nearby ally for 25% of the amount healed.

Patch 5.4 Trinket Preview, RPPM and Scaling Details
With Patch 5.4 two weeks away, we're taking a look at all the new trinkets today. The new trinkets from
Siege of Orgrimmar
are between ilvl 528 (LFR) and ilvl 572 (Heroic Warforged), and there are also ilvl 496 and ilvl 535 BoA trinkets from the
Timeless Isle
.
Many of these trinkets have interesting procs--some change the cooldown recovery rate on major abilities, while others have cleave or multistrike mechanics. For the spec-specific trinkets, we've tested them on the PTR--several affected abilities have changed over the course of the PTR.
The Stats and Scaling Proc columns below link to spell IDs used by a trinket. On a spell page, these trinket procs will display their base ilvl 463 value--what you would see when zoning into a Challenge Mode or Proving Grounds. The trinket proc values scale up on our various item pages.
New to 5.4, trinkets now display RPPM information on their tooltips. On item and spell pages, we now show whether a proc's RPPM scales with crit, haste, or budget (item level), such as
Item - Proc Versatility
.
Throne of Thunder
trinkets are receiving some significant RPPM and scaling changes as well in Patch 5.4. We received a list of these changes from

Gearing Up for Patch 5.4
With Patch 5.4 scheduled for September 10th, it's time to start thinking about how to gear up for the Siege of Orgrimmar. Blizzard's latest blog today covers currency changes and ways you can catch up on gear.
Of particular note:
The Timeless Isle has BoA armor tokens, which can be turned into
ilvl 496 or, if lucky, ilvl 535 items
. Some even have distinctive transmog looks! We've gone over the specifics in our heirloom blog, and have added tabs on all BoA token pages for users to see what items are created by each token.
Reputation gear from all MoP factions will cost Justice Points instead of Valor Points, and will have their reputation requirement lifted. We investigated all the costs on the PTR--you can check out the in-depth blog on currency changes

Patch 5.4 Scheduled for September 10th
Blizzard posted the following

They've also posted a patch prep guide with details on class, zone, PvE, and PvP changes. Of particular note:
There is no new progression Valor Point gear, but item upgrades are sticking around.
Justice and Valor won’t be converted in Patch 5.4, but with the PvP Season turnover, you can expect your Conquest to be converted to Honor as usual.
Battlefield Barrens
and the
Vale of Eternal Blossoms
are getting some major changes and removed content.
A new PvP season means there's a new tier of PvP gladiator gear to collect. Season 14 elite gear will require 27,000 Conquest Points and 2000 personal rating to purchase this time.

5.4 PTR Patch Notes: Updated August 20th
The 5.4 PTR Patch Notes were updated today with a variety of spell tweaks and details on Battlefield Barrens being drastically changed:
The weekly quests for
Battlefield Barrens
, as well as most special vanity items, are being removed in 5.4. You will not be able to get Latent Kor'kron transmog armor or any Darkspear Rebellion vanity gear after the patch, or complete

You will still be able to get
Raptorhide Boxing Gloves

by killing Kor'kron mobs in the Barrens. While it's too late to start collecting

Wowhead's Patch 5.4 Interview with Lead Game Designer Tom Chilton
Patch 5.4 is coming very soon
, bringing with it a variety of innovative content from Flex Raiding to the daily-free Timeless Isle.

I've had a lot of fun with the

5.4 PTR: Build 17314, Spell Changes, Spec-Specific Legendary Proc Values, and More
Amidst all the

handful of new spells

One cool addition we found in this build was that the proc rates for legendary capes have been assigned unique values for each spec. You can check out what values each spec's proc is by visiting a cape's page and clicking on the various radio buttons. In addition, all of the proc rates scale with item level, so if you click on the Upgrade buttons, the proc will increase correctly as well.

Talk Azeroth: Episode 11, Battlefield Barrens and Eternally In The Vale Removed in 5.4
Today's newspost is about prepping for 5.4--things you should be stockpiling for the patch, as well as things you might want to get done before they're removed!
Talk Azeroth
This week Olivia's taking you on a voyage into patch 5.4 as we recently found out when it was going live on servers. She tells you just exactly what you ought to be thinking of stockpiling and what you ought to be spending, and theorizing on reasons why there might not be a Valor reset with the patch.
The main topic she wants to talk to you about this week, though, is heirlooms. Olivia's got a wacky theory she wants to share on just how the personal loot system might interact with these new heirlooms.
Then she moves onto loot equality, trying to reassure LFR-only raiders that things will turn out OK, while also waxing lyrical on the reasons why these items should and shouldn't be in LFR in the first place.
Removed Content in Patch 5.4
Along with the announcement that
PvP Season 13 is ending soon
