General
- The Warlock spell Incinerate has had the performance of its graphical spell effect improved.

- Fixed a crash triggered by many unit frame AddOns.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue with the movement of Archimonde's Doomfire.
- Fixed the wand missile art on most Shadow based wands to show the correct graphical effect.
- Infinity Blades will now despawn properly when the encounter with Kael'thas resets after a wipe.
- Gan'arg Underlings and Felhound Defenders are now properly classified as demons.

yeah.. boring patch. I think they should update the look of the Gladiators weps. They did the armor. What lazy basturds.
They don't really seem like major changes to the encounters, but rather bug fixes that can probably be tested internally.
actually i was expecting a test gear vendor to test changes of archimonde and kael'thas. they used to restrict the test gear to honored violet eye reputation holders in the past, same thing could have been used in this one too.
what a boring patch..
no class nerfs!
There is really no need for Premades on the Test Server. In my opinion Bliz has found that they are better off having people who have been playing the game for a while going to the Test Server to actually test something instead of people who want to snag a premade 70 Hunter and go PvP.
It's not so much the new changes that must be tested - it's everything else to ensure the new changes don't trigger some other bug.
Do they really need 1,000,000 people to say "Yeah, the new incinerate graphic looks good."? Of course not - just those with a sufficiently levelled warlock who copy over can take a look and give feedback.
Pre-mades are just a way for people who can't otherwise obtain decent gear to go and look like complete prats on a test server saying "Luk at me, I iz leet kk!" World's a better place without them.
They want you to see that the incinerate performance has been improved, and should hence create a warlock and level it up to whatever level you aquire it...or something...
only a few bugs fixed, and end-game raid encounters, but they're not giving premade characters nor test gear. how do they exactly want us to test? or what to test? really?
