World of Warcraft 2.0.3

[lemekim]

Code:

-  "Swipe" has had its threat bonus multiplier removed.
-  "Maul" has had its threat bonus multiplier changed to a flat value
   similar in threat per time to "Heroic Strike".

Swipe: ooh, ouch. That really, really, really hit druid multi-mob tanking hard. 42% less threat (1 per damage instead of 1.75 per damage untalented). I mean, I knew it was too much, but ... wow.

Interestingly I don't see Mangle listed here ... is that still getting 1.75? If so, will have to do some math to see when Maul is better (lower gear levels) and when Mangle is better (higher gear levels).

Swipe is STILL better then anything that Warriors have for multi-mob tanking. With decent gear, even on single target, it's close to producing the amount of threat Sunder Armor does on a single target. The only difference now is that you can no longer just mindlessly spam Swipe button and tank everything well enough. Druids have to mix in Mangle and Lacerate as well.

Interestingly enough, I don't believe that Mangle has a threat multiplier - but it does enough damage to generate threat comparable to Revenge or Shield Slam.
