Soul Mirror can no longer turn you into TBC Broken or Mag'har orcs.

*Developer's note: This has very little effect at level 60, as by then most of your pets stats come from your stats rather than the pet's base stats.*

Fixed an issue where Murder Toxicant's duration was flipped, making it last longer at higher levels rather than shorter.

The respawn time of Colonel Kurzen has been reduced to a reasonable time, and he is now affected by dynamic spawns.

The Ring of Strength bosses can no longer be taunted, and your party will now automatically receive the tag credit when the boss appears or becomes attackable.

*Developer's note: The items from this questline are incredibly good, and the fights are difficult, however due to the number of players participating the bosses are dying very quickly with most of the difficulty completely negated. This has led to most items in this level range becoming completely useless, including iconic items such as Whirlwind Axe or Ravager. So the level of this questline has been increased to retain the value of items in the 30s range.*

The minimum level for the Ring of Strength questline has been increased to 38 (was 30).
