You can still use a Wolf as an Alliance character and a Horse as a Horde character even after changing factions although!

Exclusively on A52, now [Seasonal Achievements Unlock] and [Vanity Collection Sync] items are now automatically bound to you. These items were never usable on A52 but this made it so that Newcomers would be baited into buying them from AH/Trades. This is no longer possibly tradeable on A52 to prevent that.

All this creatures have in common that more of them are summoned as more player are in the raid group.

Previously he would summon up to 4 additional constructs for every player that had died beyond the first, up to a maximum scaling with the number of player inside the raid, eventually leading to the creation of an unstoppable horde of constructs on higher player counts that would increase its own ranks by overwhelming the raid and putting the group in a position they could not recover from.

[Pending Restart] [The Black Temple] [Teron Gorefiend] Vengeful Spirits Spirit Touch now generates 1% of the spirits maximum mana.
