Race base stats fixed, and bags no longer equip themselves

The November 2 notes fix the base stats of every race. A Tauren Warrior, for example, now starts with 5 more Strength than a Human Warrior (it was wrongly 2), and the same fix applies to the High Order and Windshaper Skyborne.

Other changes in the notes:

• Roots from procs now have diminishing returns, including Frostbite, Entrapment, Improved Wing Clip, Counterattack and Improved Hamstring.
• Throw now uses the 0.5-second windup instead of the thrown weapon’s attack speed.
• Bags no longer equip themselves into empty bag slots; you place them by hand.
• Various talents no longer lose trigger chance when you cast a low rank. The Mage spell Blizzard keeps the penalty: a rank learned more than 12 levels earlier is less likely to trigger Arcane Concentration, Frostbite and Fingers of Frost.
• The Darkspear Islands battleground no longer puts its Recently Dropped Flag debuff on a player who drops the flag.

Most of the racial changes the notes list were posted earlier and are covered in the October 26 racial changes. New for the Undead: Cannibalize can be used again while immune to Physical damage, and fixes make Touch of the Grave trigger as often as it should and stop leaving a beam behind.

Why it matters: your character’s starting stats now match its race, so earlier comparisons between races may be out of date.
