So the patch is up – and Patch notes available for your Perusal…PatchNotes

It seems my complaint ( and lots of other peoples about the Procing ability of The Shattered Sun Pendant of Acument) Shattered Sun Pendants has been addressed.

The Patch notes advise that the “Shattered Sun Pendant of Acumen: The triggered effect from this Item can now occur on periodic damage ticks” So theoretically that means it will work for a shadow Priests Shadow Word Death as well as the Damage ticks from Vampiric Touch, but from the sounds of it, I’m not sure our channeled spells, Mindflay and Star Shards ( if your a Night Elf) will proc on it.
What the patch notes don’t say, but I read somewhere else some time ago when this was was that the Damage done on Procing has been nerfed, and that makes sense. Warlocks would probably like this change as well due to their Dots

I’m also happy about the rogue nerf. I dont think its going to stop them from kidney jabbing me as often as they can, but if I see them 1st… watch out!

The funny thing about patch notes as you read them through, that they fix things that you didn’t even know about, and are going to make me look a little closer at some of the vendor Items.
Eg
– Several items sold by the Consortium reputation vendor Paulsta’ats are now bind on pick-up: Formula: Enchant Weapon- Major Striking, Design: Delicate Blood Garnet, Design: Shifting Shadow Draenite, Design: Lustrous Azure Moonstone, Design: Thick Golden Draenite

I guess that means that you used to be able to buy and sell on the AH….

And the new Macro Commands /targetenemyplayer, /targetfriendplayer ” I am guessing that means it will target the closest Enemy/Friend ? from a useability aspect, It could be useful for dotting the closest enemy player, or casting any offensive spell at them, and the opposite for healers, but given most healers use an add on for healing I’m not sure how this would be of use to them..
