Cataclysm: New Class & Race Combinations
One of the features that will be going live with patch 4.0.3a are the new Race/Class combinations
. This has been in our
Cataclysm Guide
for a while but we figured you might appreciate a nice clean table to ponder over while you wait for the servers to come back up.
Update
: To clarify questions being asked in the comments:
When maintenance is complete, you will be able to choose any of the new combinations denoted by the symbol in the "Added in 4.0.3a" table below
. However, you will need to purchase Cataclysm and wait until December 7th before you can roll a Goblin or Worgen.
Added in 4.0.3a
Alliance
Caballero de la Muerte
Druida
Cazador
Mago
Paladín
Sacerdote

The Shattering (Patch 4.0.3a) Hits Azeroth: It's The End of the World as We Know It
The day has finally come: Azeroth has been torn asunder, and now it's time to pick up the pieces!
Blizzard has been hinting at it by preparing patches on the PTR for release, and Bashiok was even
toying with forum posters last night
, but we have official confirmation this morning:
It is time, friends, for the world to shatter.
For the rest of the day this post will act as your homepage and guided tour to all the content in patch 4.0.3a. Any time new content is posted or added, you'll be able to find it on this page—so if you run into anyone who's wandering around Azeroth after the servers come up going "OMG WHAT HAPPENED," just link them here!
Remember, with the addition of new content like this, it's more important than ever to
download and run the
Wowhead Client
.
With these major changes in "The Shattering", we want to get new info into the database as fast as possible!

Elemental Boss Portals Open Until Further Notice
Bashiok just announced an "Elemental Portal Fire Sale" on the official forums:
All four elemental portals are open until further notice.

If you're looking to grab some last minute gear from

Due to your valiant efforts in protecting the key invasion cities, the four boss portals are now 'permanently' open. If you need anything from inside the portals, or maybe you dropped your keys in there, now is the time to go through and get them.
Initial reports from shaman in the area that were available at time of publishing suggest that this is hinting at something far more sinister. One such shaman, a one 'Krunkmaster' from Proudmoore was quoted as saying "This is hinting at something far more sinister."
Chilling!

Cataclysm Beta Servers Shutting Down Momentarily
Just a quick one—Zarhym has just posted that the Cataclysm Beta servers will be shutting down "momentarily"!
We’re just about two weeks out from the official global launch of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm! And with that, the time has come to conclude the beta test. We will be shutting down our beta realms momentarily. We want to sincerely thank all of you for your dedication to testing, providing feedback, reporting bugs, and everything else you’ve done to help us make this expansion the best World of Warcraft title to date.
Stay tuned to our new community site (

Live Patch (13329): The Shattering is Imminent!
It looks like a new patch will be hitting the live servers this week, and all indications are that this will be the moment we've all been anticipating for years.
If you're trying to finish up Loremaster, capture some last-minute screenshots of your favorite zones, or enjoy Barrens chat one more time before it's split into two smaller Barrens chats, you'll probably want to do that within the next 24 hours
. This is, of course, assuming that the patch gets applied on Tuesday, as per the usual schedule.
In case you have some spare time, you can check out the spell changes between the current live servers and the latest PTR patch after the break!
Highlights from "The Shattering"
A few minor cosmetic changes have been applied to some zones. Nothing you'll miss.
That class that you like to play was totally nerfed.

Blizzard developer blog: "Why Does Blizzard Hate Healers?"
Ghostcrawler has just posted the first "Developer Blog" on the new battle.net WoW site, and it deals with a topic close to my heart: healing.
There's been a lot of concern lately about the effect Cataclysm is going to have on healing performance, and the changes Blizzard is making. When you're just looking at spell changes (like
ours
) it's easy to get the impression that everything else is staying the same, and healing is getting worse. This doesn't take into account the whole picture, though—and it's important to read blogs like these to get the full concept of what the changes are going to
feel
like in Cataclysm.
The full text is included after the break, but let me give you a quick summary:
Healers in Wrath had way too much mana.
This doesn't seem like a bad thing, but in practice it meant that most healers pretty much never had to worry about mana, ever—which makes healing boring and one-dimensional. It meant you never had to choose between your
fast, inefficient heal
and your
slower, efficient heal
. Healing became a game of "spam your biggest heal over and over", and th

More assorted World of Warcraft and Blizzard-related news around the web that we thought might interest you guys!
'The Shattering' (Patch 4.0.3a) Now On Public Test Realms
The patch we've all been waiting for, 4.0.3a, which will activate 'The Shattering' event with the destruction of Azeroth, is currently live for testing on the
Public Test Realms

Blizzard has stated that The Shattering is

Patch 4.0.3 Now Live, World Not Destroyed Just Yet
Patch 4.0.3 is now available for download via the Launcher
, and with it comes some rather not-so-interesting (though well-appreciated) changes.
This is not the major pre-Cataclysm patch featuring the changed world
(a.k.a. The Shattering). That patch (4.0.3a) will likely come in the next few weeks. In addition, this patch does not activate new class/race combinations or any other major Cataclysm changes. However, there are still a few things worth mentioning!

Poor

. Years and years of pickpocketing, mind controlling and just generally being killed flat-out for the coppers in his pocket have worn thin on the poor guy's soul. Since Blizzard have removed class-specific quests, they've done the guy a favor and given him an upgrade of Saurfang proportions!

How To Find Cataclysm Instance Entrances
The other night I stumbled upon the work of the talented
regisfrost
on
Reddit
, where he had posted an assortment of nicely made and extremely informative images that I guarantee will be of value to many players in preparation for the Cataclysm! He's given us permission to share with you guys this awesome collection, detailing locations of each of the new dungeons launching with Cataclysm.
Remember, come Cataclysm, you will not be able to queue for one of the new dungeons via the Dungeon Finder unless you have first discovered its entrance! Thankfully, Blizzard has assured us that the normal leveling path will lead you to discovering most of these dungeons without much effort, but there's definitely no such thing as too much information! Enjoy!
We've also put together a video showing easy paths you can take to reach each instance portal! :)

The End Is Near... What Would You Do?
Blizzard's having some fun with their new forums (how can they not, they're pretty awesome!) and they've posted their first

Most of the options are pretty funny, and a few raise some very good points - like

Goblin and Worgen Faction/Race Changes Available at Launch
Blizzard announced something I know quite a few of us have been waiting for:
Race/Faction Changes
for both
Worgen and Goblins
will be available on launch day!
There is a little caveat to the way paid services work for goblins and worgen: either of them wishing to change races or factions cannot be in either Gilneas or Lost Isles. There is no restrictions on on players wishing to change to goblins or worgen.
With two new playable races just on the horizon, many players have been asking when they'll be able to convert their existing characters into goblins or worgen. Paid faction and race changes will be available immediately once Cataclysm is released. Realm First achievements for leveling any class to 85 will be available in Cataclysm. However there will be no Realm First achievements associated with leveling characters of a specific race.
There will be a slight change to the way paid services work for goblins and worgen. Goblin and worgen characters wishing to change race or faction cannot be in Lost Isles or Gilneas; they must be elsewhere to initiate the proc
