PTR 3.0.8 Notes update The <a href="http://blue.mmo-champion.com/13/7536073945-ptr-patch-308-notes.html" target="_blank">official 3.0.8 PTR Patch notes</a> have been updated. Some of the professions changes are very interesting (Mining now only takes one hit) and hundreds of bug fixes have been added, I guess you can stop saying that bugs aren't fixed. (Note: I'm pretty sure I mentioned some of these changes in one of the earlier update, but most of them are new) <div class="blizzquotewrap"><div class="blizzquoteinner"><div class="blizzquoteheader">Quote from Blizzard staff</div><div class="blizzquote">General <ul style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"><li>The Darkmoon Faire vendors have new items now that trade routes into Northrend have been better established.</li></ul> Achievements <ul style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"><li>The Perma-Peddle Achievement is no longer a part of the "Fool for Love" meta-achievement. </li></ul> PvP <ul style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"><li>PvP vehicles are no longer immune to most player spells, are immune to all CC and snares, but can be diseased, poisoned, and cursed.</li></ul> Arenas <ul style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"><li>Arena rating requirements for all Deadly Gladiator's Arena items have been reduced by 100. </li><li>Ring of Valor: The small pillars will now rise immediately once the arena begins.</li></ul> Battlegrounds Lake Wintergrasp <ul style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"><li>Wintergrasp PvP vehicles have had their health increased.</li><li>Wintergrasp Tower cannons have had their health increased.</li><li>The Wintergrasp Fortress Exterior walls have had their health increased.</li><li>The Fortress Keep door now has had its health decreased. </li><li>The Orb is now instantly clickable. </li></ul> Strand of the Ancients <ul style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"><li>The Strand of the Ancients Demolisher has had its health increased.</li><li>The Strand of the Ancients tower cannon has had its health increased. </li></ul> <img src="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/icons/ideathknights.gif" alt="" border="0" /> Death Knight (<a href="http://www.mmo-champion.com/index.php?page=650" target="_blank">Skills List</a> / <a href="http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?deathknight" target="_blank">Talent + Glyph Calc.</a>) <ul style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"><li>Horn of Winter now has no cost and grants 10 runic power in addition to its stat buff, but has a 20 second cooldown.
