Full patch notes are available here.
This is not a full guide, read the patch notes for that - this is very simply some of the most important changes for those who cba to read lots of pages of writing:
To sum up very briefly:
-Armsman/Warrior/Hero love: many shouts buffs and spells to remove CC, decrease magic damage, increase ABS for group, climb walls etc. Also they get 10% more HP as well as more magic resistance. New arms RR5 for 50% parry/block bonus.
-Friar/Warden love: both classes get Offensive Group Heal proc, which gives chance to proc when you melee an enemy in rej line, offensive PBAE heal procs for when the friar or warden hit an enemy, and for friar only, defensive PBAE heal proc in enh line for when friar is hit. Fatigue reduction buffs for friar are now GROUP spells. Wardens can now spec shield and have 1.8 spec points :s Friar's weaponskill has been increased, and styles have been modified to include heal procs.
-You will now get realm points for healing, mezzing, killing enemy pets, repairing keep doors.
-You can now use /autoloot to pick up loot automatically.
-RR13 is now available.
-Assassins now have weaponskill/con poisons instead of str/con, and some CS styles give abs debuffs. PA and backstab damage has been increased. All assassins now get remedy. NS' get self-damage shield buff and new DOT insta spell. SBs now get a crush damage insta buff and increased stealth movement after they get a deathblow.
-Primary healers now get cure NS and group cures etc in their high rejuv lines.
-TOA is now easy. Won't go into it here but you only need credit and scrolls to get arti activated. If you have unactivated artis, you can trade them in for the scroll book. Encounters are easier and you can buy important ML items.
-Two new emotes, /worship and /drink.
-Reactionary combat: you have a 3 second window to use reactionary styles...
-Bainshee cone damage now falls off after 45 degrees.
-Moc is now usable by Sorcs when BOF/Warguard is up.
-You can now only have 1 brittle guard at a time.
-Thane boosts la la.
-Banelord ML2 and 8 do not remove stealth.
-Warlock nerfs: 3 seconds between chambers, more power use on UI, less damage on UI.
-New NPCs - porters, smiths healers. Cba to go into details.
-'Stealther' NPCs how have less range on detection in keeps.
-You can now turn off rps and xp for battlegrounds.
-You can reset your rps for battlegrounds.
-Interface changes + boosts.
-People can now join guilds on other services in the cluster. Guilds can now join foreign alliances.
