I think priests had racial-related spells, for example devouring plague was unique to forsaken priests.

Huh. Coulda sworn that Cannibilize also restored mana back in the days, guess I was mistaken.

Unfortnuately no, in vanilla, Cannibilize did not restore mana. This was added later in a few expansions, I can't remember which one. I am thinking Wrath. This annoyed me because I never needed to use Cannibilize anymore because Blizz made mana regen out of combat much faster.

Yes, and fear ward for dwarves, which I think was considered the best back then.

Far and away the best.    Fear Ward and the Paladin Blessings are what made Alliance so much better than Horde in vanilla for endgame raiding.    Fear Ward alone was a huge boost in many of the hardest fights (Onyxia, Magmar, etc) if you could put it on your tank and tank healer so the bosses stayed in place and control.    Blessing of Salvation was -huge- for dps, as threat was a much bigger part of the game than people remember.

      You can customize your Human and Worgen forms separately in Cataclysm Classic.
      Cataclysm Classic comes with a neat quality of life update which hasn't been included in the game when the expansion originally launched. MrGM discovered you can customize your Worgen and Human forms separately.

      Today's SoD hotfixes bring Hunter and Mage changes, as well as Arathi Basin reputation gear adjustments, and a Wrath Classic fix for certain DoTs affecting players.

      WoW Classic: Season of Discovery
      Class restrictions on Arathi Basin reputation armor rewards have been lifted on all Classic Era and Season of Discovery realms. Fixed a bug causing Blood for the Blood Loa stacks to not be exchanged when the battle is not active. Hunter Steady Shot damage increased to 75% weapon damage (was 60%). Rune of the Trapper icon should no longer be a question mark. Mage Living Flame movement speed adjusted to 86% of normal player movement speed (was 100%). Living Flame duration reduced 10 seconds (was 20 seconds) Living Flame cooldown reduced to 30 seconds (was 60 seconds). Wrath of the Lich King Classic
      Fixed an issue with Piercing Shots, Deep Wounds, and Ignite that causes them to sometimes do too much damage to players.

      Four years ago, Blizzard decided to remove the word "b****" along with its audio sound from the dialogue between Garrosh and Sylvanas. But now, it's made a comeback in Cataclysm Classic!

      The initial decision to cut the word came after Steve Dansuer, the then Lead Narrative Designer, received feedback from a team member who overheard the voice line while playing the game with his child.
      Steve agreed that removing the word didn't detract from Garrosh's message and went ahead with the edit.
      Placeholder for tweet 1298728022653075456 Now, with Cataclysm Classic, players have noticed the line's return, which isn't surprising since it was originally included in Cataclysm. You can check out the entire dialogue, thanks to N_Tys26.
      Placeholder for tweet 1766198235700580807 It remains to be seen whether Blizzard will decide to remove the line once more. Given WoW's ESRB rating of "T" for Teen, what are your thoughts on this? Share your opinions in the comments below.

      Blizzard will be removing the class requirements from Arathi basic reputation rewards. The change is coming in the next few days and will affect both Season of Discovery and Classic Era.

      Greetings,
      We’ve seen a lot of feedback and comments recently on the Arathi Basin reputation rewards, and we wanted to let you know about a change that is coming sometime within the next few days to live realms via hotfix.
      We are going to go ahead and remove the class restrictions from Arathi Basin reputation reward 3-piece armor sets. We’ve read your feedback around this issue and we largely agree that these restrictions are fairly arbitrary and felt like this would be a good change for the game overall to allow for a bit more flexibility in PvP gearing.
      We also wanted to point out that this adjustment will also extend to WoW Classic Era realms. In discussing whether we should keep this as a Season-only change or extend it to Era, we felt that this would be strictly additive to the experience of those playing on Era realms as well.
      We appreciate the feedback we’ve received on this issue so far. Thank you and have a great weekend!
