Known & Fixed Issues for May 1 in the Mists of Pandaria Beta

If you’ve been invited to the Mists of Pandaria Beta and are playing the level 85-90 content that was added today, there are some known bugs and issues that you may need to be aware of.

Some of these bugs are ongoing, while others have been added in the week since the Beta began. New to the list are the NPCs in Orgrimmar, who are currently set up for the final patch of the expansion. Dual Specialization is not currently working, and damage does not update correctly for many DoTs. At the moment, Intellect is affecting mana pools, which is not how mana pools should work in Mists of Pandaria. Enemy nameplates are not showing damage that is taken by the enemy, and there are a couple of bugs with the UI.
