* Druids
o Due to significant talent changes, Druids will have all talent points refunded and can be respent.
o Your base damage in Bear and Cat Form is now determined by the DPS value of your equipped weapon (Note: your attack speed remains static at 1.0 in Cat Form and 2.5 in Bear Form). This change has been deemed necessary to provide Druids with a larger number of viable weapon choices at all levels, and a more straightforward method of improving feral damage beyond the maximum level cap. We believe that the increased damage of Druids in Cat Form (from wielding high DPS weapons) is acceptable, given the form’s damage dealing role. In our testing, however, we felt that Bear Form was dealing too much damage with certain weapons when taking into account its high damage mitigation and survivability. After considering a variety of solutions, we have decided to implement a flat 10% reduction to Bear Form’s base damage – which keeps the form in line with overall game balance, while resulting in greater damage potential.
o You can no longer switch weapons during combat in shapeshift form.

"Blessing of Salvation – Design changed. Now causes a friendly target to generate no additional threat for 10 seconds."

Kan mycket väl vara bättre än den gamla BoS, beror väl mycket på vad det blir för cooldown om det nu ens blir någon.
Horde som har klagat så mycket på BoS och om den nu skulle bli boostad, vilket liv det skulle bli

[Lathund]

Visst kan den vara användbar, men med 10s duration kan ju långt ifrån alla ha den. Egentligen bara 1 person om Paladinen ska kunna göra annat än att blessa nonstop. Men visst, riktigt bra att kasta på de rogues, eller i vissa fall healers, man har.

Sen är ju frågan huruvida dessa notes är riktiga eller inte.

[mUts]

o Druids have learned to dance while shapeshifted.

[SilentPredator]

+ The Rogue PvP reward sets have had their Strength removed and Agility increased.
