The creatures and bosses in raid dungeons that were introduced in The Burning Crusade will have their health reduced, and most will have their standard melee damage output reduced as well, but their spell and ability damage are not being changed. These changes are being made in all raid dungeons from Karazhan to Sunwell Plateau as well as the outdoor encounters of Doom Lord Kazzak and Doomwalker. On top of this Illidan is also doing his part and will stop casting Shear on players. </div><span class="corners-bottom"><span></span></span></div></div><br />Of course, most of the classes spells and talents have been reworked, official patch notes aren't available yet and the <a href="http://www.mmo-champion.com/index.php?page=818"><b>latest PTR 3.0.2 Patch Notes</b></a> haven't been updated in weeks and aren't accurate anymore.
