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.

XP Off BGs are apparently segregated out again. https://www.wowhead.com/bluetracker?...4955&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?
