A new Warlords of Draenor alpha build is on its way! We've got the spell changes, new Garrison Follower abilities, cool items, and 3D models below. Check out our
WoD Building database
to see more information on new Garrison Buildings.

Patch Highlights
Tons of Garrison abilities have been added for Followers. They seem to fall into two types--abilities that allow a follower to be assigned to a specific building, and abilities that increase a success chance when on a mission with various races. Full list below.
There are several other types of Garrison abilities:
Hyperactive
(Increases success chance on missions shorter than 6 hours),
Scavenger
(Increases the materials gained from a mission) and
Advanced Training
(Increases the XP gained from a mission for all followers).
There are also many new Garrison phases and Mechanics.

Warlords of Draenor Spell Changes: Talents, Specialization, Glyphs, Abiilties, Racials, Pets
Last update: 9pm EST, Added a list of removed specialization abilities in WoD.
7pm EST, added a list of removed and changed base abilities.
Below you'll find a rough look at automatically generated spell changes for class base abilities, talents, specializations, and glyphs! We also have information on new and changed racials, mounts, and battle pets.
As the
Warlords of Draenor database is still being refined
due to file formatting changes, please ignore changes such as "0 damage" or ridiculously high numbers--treat it as a placeholder value for now. Also weapon damage values, as described in the
patch notes
, will be recalculated so some different weapon damage values between MoP and WoD tooltips are actually quite similar in theory.

Warlords of Draenor Official Alpha Patch Notes and Blue Tweet Responses
Tonight Blizzard has published the first version of the Warlords of Draenor Patch Notes. These patch notes focus on ability changes, including a huge section on removed abilities and changed crowd control in Warlords. Each class has its own section that covers the reasoning for ability changes as well as a bulleted list of changes.
The patch notes cover topics referenced in past blogs--retuned healing spells and new balanced racials--but also tons of new information like combat bonuses removed from Professions and new
Mage
and
Warrior
talents.
We've included the full notes after the cut, as well as some highlights below. For more details on upcoming Warlords content, check out our

5.4.7 PTR: Build 17889 Spell Changes, Character Boosts, and More
The 5.4.7 PTR was updated with minor spell changes (as usual, take them with a grain of salt unless they're in the official patch notes), and the in-game mail you receive when boosting a character to 90. Players receive a set of high-level gear, and are sent their old outdated gear in the mail.

Patch 5.4.7 PTR: WoD CE Mount and Pet, Level 90 Boosts, Season 15 PvP Gear
A new PTR build was datamined today--there are lots of new global strings, including "Your Level 90 Character Upgrade is Ready!" Blizzard posted
last week
that in the next PTR, players could test ways to boost characters to 90.
There are also strings implying you could perhaps select professions as well--"CHARACTER_UPGRADE_PROFESSION_BOOST: Level 60+ characters will also receive a skill level boost to their primary professions." We don't know anything for certain though--we'll update when the PTR is playable.
While many spell changes are tooltip fixes for old hotfixes, there's a new mount and pet--Warlords of Draenor collector edition items. The names sound similar to this picture of a flying raven teased by Blizzard a few days ago:
Reins of the Dread Raven
Dread Hatchling
.
Click on the teaser image below to view the mount and its animations in our 3D modelviewer!
Edit: the PTR is now up, but the option to boost characters isn't available yet. The

5.4 PTR: Build 17325, Spell Changes, Shaman Posts, and More
Today's 5.4 PTR build is
pretty small
in comparison to past ones, but features some DPS shaman buffs--check out the
Blizzard Patch Notes
for the confirmed official changes. There's also been a post by Blizzard talking about some of the recent Shaman changes.
Several legendary capes had their base RPPM procs changed--on the legendary cape pages like
Fen-Yu, Fury of Xuen
, you can see what the specific RPPM details are for each spec using our radio buttons.
Essence of Yu'lon

Your damaging spell casts have a chance to empower you with the Essence of Yu'lon, causing you to hurl jade dragonflame at the target, dealing 1 (+ 200% of SpellPower) damage over 4 sec. This damage also affects up to 4 other enemies near the burning target. (Approximately 2.422.61 procs per minute)

5.4 PTR: Build 17314, Spell Changes, Spec-Specific Legendary Proc Values, and More
Amidst all the
Heartstone excitement
yesterday, there was a pretty small new PTR build. There were no new items in this build--just a bunch of spell changes as part of Blizzard's tuning pass and a
handful of new spells
. For the most up-to-date official changes, check out the
5.4 PTR Patch Notes
.
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.
