Some things I found in 8.1.5 Patch notes

Best check your key bindings


The Key Bindings for selecting a specific action bar page (shift+1-6), paging forward (shift+mousewheel up), and paging backward (shift+mousewheel down) have been reset. These can be re-bound in the Action Bar section of the Key Bindings menu.



Yay, 50 characters all on one realm


The limit on the number of characters that can be created on a realm has been removed. The account-wide character limit remains at 50.


Hey my hunter is strong(ish) again


Beast Mastery
Barbed Shot damage increased by 125%.
Barbed Shot’s bleed damage now ignores the target’s armor.
Cobra Shot damage increased by 25%.


Cant play until 3pm with the long maintenance today so might as well do some reading

Lovely Hunter changes :)

Love this too:

All Quest rewards from Classic through the Warlords of Draenor expansion now have a chance to upgrade up to Epic quality.


Item-levels of Rare and Epic quest rewards in Classic through Warlords of Draenor have been increased slightly in some cases.


Unique items that drop from rare enemies in Classic through Mists of Pandaria content now also have a chance to upgrade in quality.

This is going to make twinking more powerful I would imagine.

Yes, the servers are now up, but they definitely weren't up just over an hour ago when I checked, and the message on the launcher is still there stating 3PM EST for the end of maintenance.

Damnit. They really want me to resub before Classic goes live...

XP Off BGs are apparently segregated out again. https://www.wowhead.com/bluetracker?topic=34955&region=eu So while you won't be steamrolling leveling noobs, Epic procs will make a difference. Although welcome to the world of "didn't get a critical upgrade, reroll, try again" for easy to reach brackets.

Edit: Although the reason the blue lists (removing stat templates) happened at expansion launch, so not clear why that's a valid explanation for what seems like a split occurring with 8.1.5. Maybe they just got around to implementing it?

Too late for 50 chars on a server to mean anything to me. Have 3 servers with 15ish chars.

Wish they would up the 50 total char limit a bit.

More on topic: They lowered the price of heirloom enhancers, and now have one that boosts heirlooms to 120.
