00:02Welcome to the World of Warcraft Survival Guide for Patch 7.0, the Legion Pre-Expansion Patch.
00:10In this video, we'll cover some of the most important changes and new features in Patch 7.0.
00:16Remember, for complete details, check out our full patch notes and preview blogs at worldofwarcraft.com.
00:24First and foremost, we've made a lot of changes to class mechanics in order to refocus their gameplay around their
00:30core fantasy and make each spec feel unique and exciting.
00:34Every class in the game has had at least a few changes, but some are more substantial than others.
00:40Survival is now a melee spec for hunters and uses abilities like Harpoon, Raptor Strike, and Mongoose Bite to attack
00:48foes.
00:49For rogues, combat has been renamed Outlaw and re-envisioned around the use of swords and pistols with abilities like
00:57Saber Slash and Pistol Shot.
00:59Demonology Warlocks have been refocused around summoning and controlling many powerful demons at once,
01:05and Discipline Priests are now focused on a hybrid damage and healing role through a redesigned Atonement mechanic.
01:13Check out our class preview blogs on worldofwarcraft.com for more info.
01:19You can now freely switch between any of your class's available specializations at any time, without having to designate a
01:26primary and secondary spec.
01:29However, in order to change your talents, you'll need to either visit a rested area, such as a major city,
01:35or use a Tome of the Clear Mind, which can now only be made by players with the Inscription profession.
01:42Patch 7.0 also introduces the brand new Transmogrification system.
01:47Now, instead of having to keep items in your inventory, you'll permanently unlock an item's appearance account-wide, whenever it's
01:55bound to your character.
01:56Be sure to watch our full Transmogrification preview video for more details.
02:02In PvP, character stats have been normalized.
02:06What that means is, when you zone into a PvP instance, such as a Battleground or Arena, you'll be given
02:12a predetermined set of stats, instead of whatever happens to be on your gear.
02:16You can get a minor bonus to those stats by increasing your average item level above 700, but for the
02:24most part, gear is no longer a major factor in PvP.
02:28Once Legion launches, the Honor Talents and Prestige systems will unlock, but they're unavailable until then.
02:35These are some of the biggest changes happening immediately in Patch 7.0, but it's only the beginning.
02:42Stay tuned in the next few weeks for the introduction of the Demon Hunter class for players who have pre
02:48-purchased the expansion, as well as the impending arrival of the Burning Legion.
02:53And don't forget, you can check out our full patch notes at www.worldofwarcraft.com for even more details.
03:01Thanks for watching, and we'll see you in Azeroth!
