Patch 3.0.3 was released on November 4, 2008 and contains minor bug fixes and balance adjustments in preparation for the World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King expansion release on November 13, 2008.
[Replenishment]: Players below level 50 can now benefit from this effect.
Resilience: The damage reduction component of resilience has been increased from 2 times the critical strike chance reduction to 2.2 times the critical strike chance reduction. In addition, the maximum damage reduction to a critical strike from resilience has been increased from 30% to 33%.
Aspect of the Monkey: The Dodge chance has been increased from 8% to 18%.
[Aspect of the Viper]: The per attack mana regeneration has been reduced by 50% but this ability now generates 4% of maximum mana every 3 sec. In addition, the per attack regeneration now also works on melee attacks.
[Disengage] now fails if you're rooted and is no longer on the global cooldown. Cooldown reduced to 25 seconds and no longer requires a target, though the hunter has to be in combat.
[Hunter vs. Wild]: The attack power bonus from this talent now applies properly to Hunter pets. In addition, the bonus attack power will now be recalculated properly from equipping items.
[Thrill of the Hunt]: The mana gained from using this talent with [Explosive Shot] is now 1/3 of the normal amount per critical strike (but gets 3 opportunities per cast.)
[T.N.T.]: Explosive Shot can now only trigger this talent when it is initially fired.
Windfury Totem and Improved Icy Talons no longer affect ranged haste.
Mages[]
[Arcane Potency]: The additional crit bonus is now consumed immediately on cast of a travel time spell, so it is no longer possible to make two spells benefit from one charge. (Ex. [Fireball] followed by Fireblast.)
[Torment the Weak]: Now works correctly when the Mage also knows the Molten Fury Talent.
Paladins[]
[The Art of War]: No longer increases critical strike damage on Judgements, [Crusader Strike], and [Divine Storm], instead increases all damage done by those abilities by a smaller amount.
The [Avenger's Shield] bounce distance has been reduced to 10 yards (from 15).
The epic ground mount is now available on the trainer at level 61, requiring 150 riding skill, and the non-epic mount learned.
[Hammer of Justice]: The interrupt from this ability will also be redirected when the stun is redirected. In addition, the interrupt will now work on targets immune to stun.
[Borrowed Time]: Charge no longer consumed by spells with a base cast time that is instant.
[Devouring Plague]: The bonus coefficient has been increased to be on par with other DoT spells. Base damage on ranks 7, 8, and 9 decreased to partially compensate for better scaling.
[Divine Providence]: This talent now also reduces the cooldown of your [Prayer of Mending] spell by 6/12/18/24/30%. With 5 points applied, it takes Prayer of Mending's cooldown from 10 sec to 7 sec.
[Fan of Knives] changed to be castable with no targets, further improved the visual affect and it no longer plays an impact on the caster. Now benefits correctly from the [Find Weakness] talent.
[Killing Spree]: Instead of making the rogue untargetable, now causes all players to lose targeting on the rogue and the rogue to be unstoppable during its duration.
[Riposte]: Duration of this effect no longer reduced by other effects that reduce disarm duration.
[Bloodthirst]: Percentage of damage from attack power raised from 45% to 50%.
[Flurry]: Now grants the proper number of charges when it triggers.
Improved Fire Nova Totem: Increases the damage done by your [Fire Nova Totem] by 10/20% and your Fire Nova totem has a 50/100% chance to stun all targets damaged by your Fire nova Totem for 2 sec.
[Lava Burst]: The base damage has been increased by approx. 10%.
[Maelstrom Weapon]: Tooltips corrected to correctly describe the chance for this talent to be triggered.
[Riptide]: The initial heal amount has been increased on ranks 3 and 4 and periodic healing has been increased on all ranks.
[Stormstrike]: Other shamans can no longer consume charges of your Stormstrike, and each shaman can have their own stormstrike on the victim.
Storm Reach is now called "[Elemental Reach]" and now includes Lava Burst.
[Haunt]: The cooldown has been changed to 8 sec down from 10 seconds, and refreshing the Haunt will trigger the heal from the existing Haunt. This ability will no longer heal for incorrect amounts or fail to heal when the Haunt damage was the killing blow.
[Inferno]: The Infernal is now usable indoors and the tooltip has been updated.
Fixed an issue that was affecting terrain rendering on GeForce 3 and 4 Ti cards. Those that added the command Set fixedfunction 1 to their config.wtf file should remove it to avoid a decrease in performance.
Priest: [Inner Focus] will now properly increase the critical strike chance of the talent [Penance].
Shaman: [Totem of Wrath] tooltip updated to reflect that it affects all crit chance and indicate that it increases Spell Power (instead of just damage)
