The patch notes for the patch 3.3 PTR have been updated. This latest iteration of the patch notes gives, in particular, warlocks and rogues some of the love that they’ve been waiting for (although I’m sure it won’t be enough for some/most).

Some highlights:

• Deadly Poison: In addition to its existing effects, when a rogue applies Deadly Poison to a target which has already reached the maximum number of applications, this will also trigger the poison which the rogue is using on his or her other weapon.
• Improved Poisons: Bonus chance to trigger Deadly Poison from this talent increased.
• Improved Drain Soul: This talent now reduces threat by 10%/20%, up from 5%/10%.
• Destructive Reach: This talent now reduces threat by 10%/20%, up from 5%/10%.

There are also a new slew of bug fixes.

All the updates after the break.

If you are experiencing random crashes related to file read errors or out of memory, this new backend may help. To enable the new backend, add the following line to your Config.WTF file: SET gxApi “d3d9ex”.
