1.2B(12) released (New boss beta)!

As always, keep discretion about content spoilers in the forums.

The old beta boss is still in the game aswell, so make sure to give this one a try aswell and check out the new changes.

The new boss is intended to be the hardest challenge of 1.2C. Make sure to test it with a full highend party for proper balancing.

CHANGELOG (v1.2B (12)):
- Stashes can no longer ... crawl away...
- PvP command in-combat bug fixed
- Fixed 'roar' sometimes applying to invalid targets
- Jolting Strikes Cooldown reduced to 15 seconds
- Distracting Weapon is now an instant-cast self-buff only, but cooldown was reduced to 30 seconds (20 with talent)
- Distracting Weapon Mana cost removed
- Distracting Weapon now also generates a decent amount of threat on it's own when cast (similar to Demoralizing Shout)
- Bladefury will now stop once the caster dies
- Pets will now be considered as the same level as the caster when performing level checks (for hit & crit mechanics)
- Battering Ram now works as intended
- Frostbite now also colors the affected unit
- Spell Mirror cooldown reduced to 25 seconds
- Fire Shield damage increased to SP x 0.4
- Added a new boss to beta test

Awesome, can't wait to test it!

I'll be looking to play in about 1 hour if anyone is interested. I'll be on battle.net around 6:30PM Central time USA

I already did some testing games on the boss and it seems decently balanced so far. Just some minor issues I noticed. HP seems a bit excessive but I haven't tested against a 5 player group yet.

When C goes live, I suggest buffing every new boss with about 10-15% extra hp/dmg just to give us a challenge even with the new lvl 50 gear .
