We heard a little while back from Ghostcrawler that haste would soon affect Heal-over-Time (HoT) and Damage-over-Time (DoT) spells, and sure enough, soon after that, Shadow Priests &#8212; who use DoTs all the time &#8212; saw a nice buff.

In an unexpected and strange twist in Blizzard&#8217;s latest microtransaction saga, the Pandaren Monk vanity pet has apparently sold out on the Blizzard pet store. A mere week after the in-game pets were announced for sale on Blizzard&#8217;s new pet store, the Pandaren Monk can no longer be purchased on US realms (as of this [...]]]></description>
