Patch Notes for Thursday 6/12 Build.
Disclaimer: These Notes are subject to change as they are not "Officially Final". These notes Are legit, and should be used as an instrument to give you an idea of what to expect. Again, these can/could change, and additions and/or subtractions could be made before all of these items are released live. They are from the non-public test server. This is likely Alot of the items that will be pushed Live this Thursday 6/12/2008. I have attempted to contact moderators to verify thay it is not against rules to post these notes, and havent been told it is. I bring this for positive discussion. Not flame wars and immaturity. You will notice that some of these Items actually went into the game yesterday, while a majority of them have not been made live yet.

I have a broken foot. The cast will be removed by tomorrow, and I'll celebrate it with a perfectly timed level 80 ding!
Then, I'll start working on my ass to get it back to normal/human.

Is this when the F13 crew stops playing? I'm seeing more and more grumbling the past couple of days. I haven't even specced out my new gaming rig.

Or is it just patch day getting the best of everyone?

That is across the board for all classes I hear, it had to do with them trying to tune damage for grey elite mobs, and they fucked it up. I heard all cloth classes are getting just ripped apart.
