Imp Thunderclap only does 30% increased damage instead of 100%

Feral Charge (Cat) (Tier 5) - Causes you to leap behind an enemy, dazing them for 3 sec. 30 second cooldown. IF BREAKS STEALTH NOW (which it probably does) THEN NERF OTHERWISE AWESOME

 

 

So I tested out this kitty-step last night.. I gotta say.. I'm in <3!.. it didn't break me out of prowl until I pounced my target.<33333333333 so unless they change it again between now and then, it's pretty much the coolest thing ever ^.^ also.. the animation for it is total cuteness!

 

It shares the FC cooldown with bear form though.. which kinda sucks because the old CD for that was 15seconds.. the thing is, now that I don't have to switch forms to do it, the CD doesn't bother me much lol

According to the description the Bear FC CD is still only 15 sec. It might just be a bug that it's lasting for 30.

My Death Knight feels superior when compared to my Feral Druid despite the gear that my Druid has. That's saying A LOT.

 

Zero Int on the endgame set is just stupid.

That OP needs some

So now druids have shadowstep and rogues are getting something like misdirect, continuing the trend of 'balancing' classes by just giving every race/class the same abilities. Hoorah for creativity.

Shut it ghost! Some of us have to work!

 

OOOOOOO

 

... do it for me? =D

Dude. I'm WAY too busy for that.

maaaaaan i think i might just go back to healing, shadow is like, meh now, it just seems so mediocre. the mana battery affect(effect?) is still there they just dumbed it down sooooo much.

 

.25% of base mana regens from a replenishment buff that only happens when you cast mind blast when VT is up.

 

i dunno i'll probably play shadow till 80 see how different the play style is going to be. then decide what i wanna do before i start gearing.

I'm a little underwhelmed with the pally glyphs. Alot of them seem more pvp oriented.

Yes. It makes me sad. Then I think about the fact that Feral Druids don't need to respec 41 points into an inferior tree to get Shadowstep... And that makes me want to retire my rogue.

This is basically like giving rogues Shadowstep as a base trained spell...But for Druids.

 

Divine Hymn - You recite a Holy hymn, causing the closest 10 enemies within 15 yards to become incapacitated for 20 sec, and heals the closest 10 friendly targets within 15 yards for 348 every sec for 6 sec. Incapacitated enemies take 40% less damage while incapacitated and for 3 sec after the incapacitation ends. Damage caused may interrupt the effect on all incapacitated targets. 6 min cooldown.

Umm... Did I misread that, or did Priests get a mass CC that puts a whole room to sleep for 20 seconds?

Oh, wait... When it breaks they all break? How odd!
