Patch 3.3 will release in the coming weeks and is the last major content patch before the release of the expansion Cataclysm. The biggest piece of content is the Icecrown Citadel Raid along with three 5-player dungeons in the Frozen Halls. After over a year of waiting, players are finally able to fight the Lich King although it is not known if he is killable or not.

Icecrown Citadel consists of 4 floors and 12 boss encounters. On the second floor players will join their faction leader aboard their airship and fight the other faction’s airship to reach the third floor. Players can board the other factions airship with rocket packs while other players use catapults to destroy the enemy ship. The third floor is the biggest zone and also features the three 5-player dungeons. The fourth and last floor is where players will face the Lich King.

Besides the major content coming there will also be gameplay changes as well.

AoE Damage Caps: Blizzard has redesigned the way area of effect damage works when hitting multiple targets. Basically instead of a hard cap of damage done, you now do damage equal to the amount the spell would damage 10 targets. Anything more than 10 targets and the total damage will be divided by the number of targets. Say you have a spell that does 2000 damage for each target. That would be 20000 damage across 10 targets. If you have 20 targets that would turn into 1000 damage for each target.

Health and Mana Regeneration: The regeneration rates for these will increase by 200% for lower levels. Each new level will reduce the rates until they reach normal rates at level 15.

Battleground Daily Quests: Level 71-80 Battleground daily quests now reward 25 Arena Points along with current rewards.

These are just some of the major class changes coming in Patch 3.3. Visit Patch Notes to see every change coming in Patch 3.3 including individual class changes.
