So the newest, biggest and badest (take that how you will) patch dropped for WoW today in the form of 4.1. There have been a fair amount of changes from new 5 mans Zul’Gurub and Zul’Aman, 4.1 class changes and some other general changes to the way WoW works. There are also a fair amount of bugs with the new WoW patch, surprise surprise. Like last time there was a major patch, our aim here at the Pot is to help you get up to speed with what you need to know with patch 4.1.
Generally the links we’re providing are to posts written by industrious bloggers. We’re including everything practically-useful from class changes to PvP to tactics and addons.
At present it’s not a complete list. I’d like to keep updating it with more links, especially for classes and specs I’ve not yet found any help for, so if you find/have something please shoot it my way via the comments, twitter or the contact form. Shout if there’s something specific you want that we’ve not covered, too.
