Thank you for your patience.

We made a change in the 3.1.1 patch to prevent Exorcism from being used on players. We didn’t announce this change ahead of time because we were trying to get the tooltip changed at the same time to reduce confusion. We still plan on getting the tooltip updated ASAP. Exorcism’s use in PvE has not changed at this time.

Going with a “not on players” solution is not ideal and we will be re-designing how the ability works in a future patch (the plan is sooner rather than later)....

I am upset by this stealth fix. Pulling a tooltip rewrite as your excuse is obviously a coverup. Everyone ...

We are currently performing urgent rolling restarts on all realms to address some issues. Each realm will be down for approximately 15 minutes and we expect all realms to be playable again in about 1 hour.

Inspired by the Random Acts of Kindness thread, I thought I'd start up a conversation on just how you help out the community you're in. Are you the merchant type? Are you the lore keeper? Are you the PvP guru? Are you the monster slayer?

How do you contribute to your community whether it's your realm or your guild? How have others inspired you to take part in the community? What aspects of the community do you love/like most?

(Please keep the thread positive.)

This talent wipe will not affect glyphs, but when reapplying your talent points, please be careful to match them up to the glyphs that you currently have placed.
