Comment by h311ionThis is a useful post, thank you. I was just combing through old articles to find changes, so this saves time!Comment by MoonstakerNot mentioned anywhere, but Riposte is off of the GCD now.Comment by ElfyrAs a warrior, at least take me to dinner first Blizzard.Comment by CorpselanceMutilate is playable! Wooo!Comment by NullspiteSurprised they didn't mention Druid Omen of Clarity is a 30 min buff instead of 10 min now.Comment by KanariyaThe Shadowform mana reduction is listed as 50% in game, which is massive.Comment by gamekyle4118Warriors devastate isn't 100% weapon damage like written here, it's 100% weapon DPS and currently hits for barely anything. Hits for like 50 with a darkwater talbur and 5 sunders. RIP devastate (for now).Comment by ArthurusmenksAbout the Devastate rune, I don't know if it is a mistake on Blizz's part but it does scale on weapon dmg, it rather scales on weapons' dps and compared to what we have before it's much worse,Comment by GreyGrimjust raided on my warrior at level 30 and was doing over 100dps less than I was at 25...Comment by DrhankeeyNEW Anguish Taunts the creature, increasing the chance that it will attack the Felguard.Comment by forthelooti still dont get what
Duration changed from -1 ms to 0 ms
doesComment by kyuubi75So I am guessing the healing reduction on Arcane spells that damage multiple targets is targeted at Living flame specifically which is $%^&ing pain full.

Which sucks because the other two leg runes for mage are either really situational (mass regeneration) or really cant see my self using ever (arcane surge )Comment by BloodchargeDevastate seems to be doing much less damage than the new change intended. My white auto attacks hit for anywhere from 100-130 and my devastate is only hitting for 30-80. This does not make sense given the new changes. Hopefully blizz fixes this soon.Comment by SsatenethFeral druid "feline swiftness" now works indoors. Cats get 30% movement speed -everywhere- now, even in dungeons, raids, and WSG tunnel.Comment by harulezTHEY NERFED MANGLE? ARE U KIDDING ME and it looks like druid is the only class to be nerfed, thanks for nothing as usual blizzard.
