First!

Enjoy this FAQ :-) The FAQ is not complete yet, I will add more Q&A depending on feedback.

---

Q u o t e:
Weaponskill needs to be looked at, thats: a racial - talents and items with weaponskill that you are nerfing, and plans to review this?

Any plans to review the rogue mace-talent?

---

It can always change depending on the feedback Blizzard gets during beta/PTR. I myself don't have an answer for you currently :-)

---

Q u o t e:
Just a question tho that i see people asking very often but kinda unanswered even on the above faq... can people start gathering the BG honor marks before the patch or will they be erased?

---

Simply put: No
Source: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=44797688&postId=446841323&sid=1#15

Will add this one :-) TY

---

Q u o t e:
So it's PTR on 2.0.0 and not TBC?

---

PTR = 2.0.0, not the expansion.

Will add this one to. TY

---

Q u o t e:
improved enchanting UI... still pretty bad, compared to the "sortenchant" mod.

Cooking, and Alchemy, also need better sorting.
but oh well..

btw, i assume there is no use to the current AV / WSG reputation anymore, as these are getting changed.

---

It's a start... Maybe in the future of at the end of PTR they might change it. Reputation still has usage since some rewards require you to have reputation.

---

Q u o t e:
Oh and would it be possible for Blizzard to give us at least two weeks notice before implementing the patch, so that we arent wasting our time grinding honour only to find out that come wednesday it didnt count for anything.

---

I'm pretty sure Blizzard will give a heads up.

---

Q u o t e:


Hmm.. you cant farm honor marks.

but the "tokens" like arati basin tokens, AV, and WSG, tokens, you can start collecting right?

they only stack up to 20 anyway atm.

---

After this patch you can farm them. Pre-2.0.0 you are correct.

---

Q u o t e:
You said the new talents will be available but what about the new spells, the pre level 60 ones obviously?

---

If it's spells for L60 or lower, then yes. Will add this to the Q&A.

---

Q u o t e:
erm... the current PTR patch is currently called 2.0.1 and has it's Patch-notes "officialized" why not post them?

---

Does it matter it's called 2.0.1 or 2.0.0? Also the notes aren't gone official yet. Both USA and EU don't hold the notes themselves, nor is the PTR up. Hence the unofficial.
