PTR 2.3 Notes have been updated with a couple of interesting changes. No, they didn’t give hunters guided and piercing arrows, but they did give a nice buff to Cheat Death — chance to trigger increased to 33/66/100% and now also causes the rogue to take 90% less damage for 3 seconds when the effect triggers — that might make it worth venturing deeper into the Subtlety tree.

Speaking of subtlety, you can see some of that in action in Neilyo’s latest video.

Another biggie (and relief for all casters) is that silence effects are now on DR.

In the wake of WSVG’s collapse, Gameriot is hoping to fill the gap with it’s own community run tournament. Unlike the WSVG, this cross-battlegroup tournament will be held online with player-enforced rules within the current game.

Sign ups end October 29^th. The start of the tournament will follow shortly afterwards — the exact date TBA.

The Season 3 armor pieces appeared on my test server, albeit briefly — gg at Blizzard putting only one vendor in that tiny hut. Luckily the folks over at MMO-Champion got all the goods on the armor pieces.
