Although they did not mention it ahead of time, the fact you were surprised during a fight with a NM on your RDM by the change shows you didnt at least read the update notes? More people really should read these things, it really doesnt take as long and I am sure many people will find many useful things in there they normally dont find out til months afterwards on happenstance. You could probably read them while your update downloads in fact, I know i do and im kinda a slow reader.
