Yep.. that’s right folks. In case you haven’t heard it. Eyonix announced yesterday (it somehow managed to slip under my radar) that Blizz has decided to go ahead and release a patch pre-WoTLK release.

Now some of you might remember that they did this Pre-TBC and everyone was “all a flutter” trying to figure out what it would be how it would benefit them etc…

Well, I can tell you this much (and since it’s already released not much of a spoiler), it seems pretty exciting.

Here’s the list from Eyonix’s post:

• New class spells and talents
• Stormwind Harbor
• Barbershops in capital cities
• Zeppelin towers outside of Orgrimmar and Tirisfal Glades
• Two brand-new Arenas featuring challenging new layouts, terrain hazards, and moving obstacles
• Guild calendar
• Hunter pet skill revamp
• New profession: Inscription

Now taking a closer look at these.. The ones I think are most exciting for us Hunters are:

• Hunter pet skill revamp
• New class spells and talents

And you Arena Junkies out there might get a kick out of the Two (thats 2) new arenas.

So seeing that this is heading our way, I can tell you that we’re heading for some changes!!

Well folks, as most everything, it seems that this ride has come to a close.

After 18months Cheeky released his final version of the Hunter DPS spreadsheet. 

In Cheeky’s final post he says “Final Version.

I am no longer going to be supporting the DPS Spreadsheet. It’s been a fun 18 months, and I hope someone else feels the drive to continue this project.

There are no functional changes.

Change Log:
- Unlocked spreadsheet. This will be the final version supported by Cheeky.”

With the spreadsheet unlocked hopefully someone will step up and continue the legacy that Cheeky started.  Many of us have planned our gear, justified and proved our playstyle and spec choices all based on this tool.  Cheeky, you will be missed.

Then what happens?? A couple of posts later Lactose comes on and says he to is retiring from maintaining the Hunter Spreadsheet thread stating “I will no longer be maintaining this thread.
Please do not send me any more PMs regarding bugs or feature requests regarding the spreadsheet.”

Lactose you to will be missed. 

I salute you both and and grateful for all of the hardwork both of you have put into this tool for us. 

I’m not sure how long Elitist Jerks will host the now closed project, but rest assured, we’ll try and keep you all updated on any new developments.  In the mean time links to the final version can be found here.
