Blizzard has updated the character creation screen, making newly-created characters wear fancier, better-looking armor, to give players an idea about how their class would look wearing an armor set.
The Demon Hunter and Druid sets remains unchanged (thanks @Dejo93), so we're listing the remaining classes that have received new armor sets for preview. Note that the sets are there just for preview and they're not actual starter sets!
Death Knight
Hunter
Mage
Monk
Paladin
Priest
Rogue
Shaman
The set is the same, but Shamans now have two fist weapons equipped.
Warlock
Warrior

By Starym
Blizzard announced changes on Shadowlands Alpha coming to the Convoke the Spirits Druid Covenant Ability.
Convoke the Spirits (source)
Convoke the Spirits – in this build or an upcoming build:
–Convoke will more strongly favor current-spec abilities than it currently does
–Convoke will be more willing to use the same ability many times within a single activation
–Convoke will not use Thrash if nothing is in range
–In Feral spec, it will more strongly favorShred over Thrash
–Dodging will work during the channel
Also, this isn’t spelled out, but “current specialization” will use your current Heart of the Wild if you have it active.
A dilemma with this ability is that, on one hand, it’s cooler if it does a wide mix of Druid things. Its power can come from the main-role spells you’re gaining, while some off-role spells contribute flavor, utility, and visual presence. But on the other, reading it can give an expectation of, say, 16 damage spells in a row, which is let down when you get something much less. We’re going to tinker with the mix somewhat to find a better balance here.
