Patch 2.4 Undocumented Changes
As with every patch, especially the major ones, there are changes that don’t make the patch notes. That doesn’t mean that they’re not there. A lot of them are cool like getting more rep in Hyjal from the trash mobs and getting more blue gems from mining nodes. Some of them suck like the Mounstrous Kaliri in Skettis being more annoying than they already were, being able to chase you while flying straight up and dismounting you. But some of them look like bugs like getting bumped to Curator’s room sometimes when releasing a chess piece in Kara. The list is below thanks to World of Raids.
New items
• The Fists of Fury (Weapon set: Claw of Molten Fury + Fist of Molten Fury) added to Hyjal loot table.General
• New music in Orgrimmar/Thunder Bluff inns.

• Ammo Pouches and Arrow Quivers can no longer be simultaneously equipped in your character’s bag slots.Rogue
• Cheat Death ability now properly reduce incoming damage (was bugged since 2.3.2 patch: it decreased all incoming damage by 90% and then absorbs 90% of damage taken. In summ it is 99% of absorbtion [sic] for 3 seconds.)

• It seems that Void Reaver in TK no longer temporarily switches target to ranged player before lobbing an orb at them.
