Among other things, they did nerf Warrior of the Wild:

Warrior of the Wild [Addition]
Player’s Handbook, page 208
Add the following sentence to the
end of the second paragraph of the
benefit section: “The target you
designate as your quarry remains
your quarry until the end of your next
turn.”

Gah. That's a big one. Scary.

It was expected. Paragon tier monsters (at least the melee-centric ones) do 2dX+Y damage normally*.

I don't have my books with me, but with the change to cloudkill, doesn't it make it almost exactly the same (and thus worse due to being higher level) than stinking cloud? I seem to recall the only real difference was that Cloudkill didn't require a hit roll...

Seems like all it gets is a bigger radius (i.e Meteor Shower II)

The errata for the three books is dated three days after release. I had hoped that with a new addition, it would take a bit longer before I had attach sticky notes to my books.

Ugh, still in zipped pdfs rather than just the plain pdf. I was happy to see the new Dragon/Dungeon articles stopped doing that. Also the way it's titled "Microsoft Word" is pretty classy.

On a more serious note, I'm pretty surprised to see that the ranger Careful Strike / Twin Strike issue isn't addressed, because the math is really quite clear there.

 

[Korgoth]

Nothing about Blade Cascade?

The main differences are burst 5 instead of burst 2, and Cloudkill doesn't block LoS. It doesn't seem like much for going from level 5 to 19, but it is almost 5x the area covered.
