September 24 build changes missing from the patch notes — Crusade removed, Eureka!'s real values, potion tuning

These changes show up in the client data of the September 24 beta build (1.60.1.70009) but aren't in Blizzard's development notes, or are more specific than the notes. Talents, abilities and talent trees were compared spell by spell against the client tables of the previous build (1.60.1.69977); potion values against the data this site used from build 1.60.1.69913. Sets and pets were checked in the client cache, the build diff site foreverdiff (69977 → 70009) and Wowhead's datamining.

Paladin

• Retribution
  • The Crusade talent is removed from the tree — row 4 (15 points), far right, 2 ranks. It increased all damage by 1/2%, plus another 1/2% against Demons and Undead

Priest

• Power Word: Shield rank 9's tooltip now calculates its absorb the same way as the other ranks (tooltip only)

Rogue

• Improved Expose Armor: the 'refund Combo Points when cast with 5' part was a display-only effect in the previous build and is now wired to an effect that actually triggers (100% chance, 0.5 sec internal cooldown). The tooltip text is unchanged

Shaman

• Windfury Totem's tooltip showed its range as 0 yards; it now correctly shows 30 yards

Warlock

• Create Firestone ranks 3 and 4 now show the conjured item part of their tooltip ('disappears if logged out for more than 15 minutes'). This was on the September 18 known issues list

Warrior

• Sunder Armor: the notes only say threat was 'corrected on all ranks, with a small increase from Attack Power'. The client's base threat per rank changed as follows (the Attack Power part is computed server-side and isn't in the client)
  • Rank 1: 1 → 34
  • Rank 2: 405 → 75
  • Rank 3: 608 → 117
  • Rank 4: 810 → 158
  • Rank 5: 1013 → 206

Races

• Gnome
  • Eureka!: the notes only say '10% discount for every class', but the client spell makes your next 3 damaging abilities cost 10% less and deal 10% more damage. Lasts 15 sec, 2 min cooldown
    • Each class has its own spell (Energy, Rage, Mana). The Priest version applies to damaging and healing abilities and also raises healing by 10%
    • In the previous build the discount differed by class — Warrior 40% Rage, Rogue 20% Energy, Mage and Warlock 50% Mana, Priest 15% Mana (plus 10% healing)

Potions (Alchemy)

• Frenzy Potion Attack Power doubles at every tier (also applies to ranged Attack Power)
  • Minor 6 → 12
  • Lesser 9 → 18
  • Regular 14 → 28
  • Greater 20 → 40
  • Superior 28 → 56
  • Major 40 → 80
• Spellblasting Potion spell damage goes up
  • Minor 6 → 7
  • Lesser 9 → 11
  • Regular 14 → 16
  • Greater 20 → 23
  • Superior 28 → 33
  • Major 40 → 47
• Mender's Potion healing goes up
  • Minor 8 → 13
  • Lesser 14 → 20
  • Regular 28 → 31
  • Greater 38 → 44
  • Superior 50 → 62
  • Major 75 → 88
• Dragonfire Potion: instant damage 450 → 280, and the extra damage every 2 sec for 8 sec 125 → 35
• Caustic Smog Potion: Nature damage every second for 12 sec 300 → 33
• Potion of Demonslaying and Potion of Beast Culling: the 108 spell damage is removed, leaving Attack Power 185 → 180, and the duration goes 2 → 5 min
• Potion of Elemental Siphoning: spell damage against Elementals 265 → 105, duration 2 → 5 min

Item sets

• The ooze and devilsaur 'Adaptation' sets are gone from the client entirely — 21 crafted armor pieces, 12 Adaptation buffs, and the boss abilities The Horror, Revildesh and Metamorphic Fury
• Four new set names were added — Rotmender's Raiment, Violet Sorcerer's Vestments, Krol'dok Battlegear, Defias Enforcer's Garb
  • Rotmender's Raiment (a leveling healer set) bonuses
    • 2 pieces: +10 Intellect
    • 3 pieces: threat reduced by 5%
    • 4 pieces: dropping below 15% mana restores 600 mana over 15 sec (once every 5 min)
    • 5 pieces: healing spells have a chance to apply Rotmending, restoring 40 health every 3 sec for 15 sec
    • Two of the five pieces already dropped in Ruins of Lordaeron — Wispcloth Leggings are renamed Rotmender's Leggings and Frostbane Treads are renamed Rotmender's Treads. The other three (Rotmender's Robes, Sash and Gloves) are new items whose drop source isn't known yet

Companion pets

• A new companion pet, Spawn of Grubthor (item 276331), was added. It appears to drop from Grubthor, a level 58 rare elite in Silithus
