WoW Daily Update
Live Build 9506
Beyond the Howling Blast tooltip update, we can likely expect to see Ritual of Summoning fixed and Hunter Aspects fixed. Hopefully the warlock summoning stone makes a comeback!
I also added some interesting articles to pass the downtime below.
Class Changes
Death Knight Changes
Frost
Howling Blast: Tooltip correctly reflects 5 second cooldown.
Mage Changes
Arcane
Arcane Barrage "Shatter" Combo was hotfixed not to work anymore last night. No tooltip changes.
Glyph of Arcane Blast was hotfixed last night and is no longer working correctly. Supposedly giving 3% damage and does not work on arcane missiles. No tooltip changes.

Arena Update
The team/personal ratings and the hidden ratings are related to each other. Your team/personal ratings essentially drift toward your hidden rating, so if you deliberately lower your hidden rating and remake a team, your team/personal ratings simply won't get up to high ratings until your hidden rating does. His exploit as proposed simply doesn't work because his assumptions about the relationship between the visible and hidden rating are incorrect.
WoW Botting
Interesting article on how hard Glider is getting hit
Quote:
Blizzard notched another victory in its legal campaign against World of Warcraft bots when a judge on Wednesday ruled that a leading bot violates the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. MDY Industries LLC, the firm that develops and sells the Glider bot, already suffered a major setback last summer when the judge granted Blizzard summary judgment on several key issues. This week's decision deals with the issues the judge believed could not be decided until the conclusion of this month's trial. The judge ruled that Glider violated the DMCA's ban on "circumvention devices," and he also found that MDY's founder, Michael Donnelly, was personally liable for the actions of his firm.
Wow Model Developer
It was posted on a forum and is now long gone, it is unverified, and likely some bored person trolling. However, it is more interesting than the "amazing" arena changes or the laggy raids.

Starfall Discussion
The purpose of Starfall is to do extra damage. What I mean by that is that the spell is not channeled so you can use it along with a Hurricane or whatever other spell you want to cast. It was never intended to be a de-stealther and we've become unenamored with random stun chances added to other spells.
One criticism which we think is totally valid is the paltry coefficient on Starfall.
Dances
This is correct. It has been a work in-progress for some time now for our artists. It's something they hack away at here and there when things like Ulduar aren't imminent.
