patch 2.0.10 notes on the PTR

[Kevin]

I'm betting by the time they're done nerfing Druid damage, their threat will need a significant boost, along the lines of the threat bonuses they already removed from Swipe and Maul. I still believe they nerfed the wrong thing when those threat bonuses were removed.

Yeah the damage reduction to bear these changes make seem in line to me, bear damage was too high.

I don't know if the threat reduction this will do is too much though. But yeah I think they may have to put extra aggro back on swipe. I've yet to see a druid have aggro issues on a single target so this might not be too bad for that. This is going to hurt multi target aggro right when they give warriors a huge boost to multi target aggro. Imp T-clap in battle stance was already about 1/2 - 3/4 of a sunder. Now you get to do it in def stance. I can't see druids keeping up remotely with paladins and warriors on mutli mob aggro now. So they will have to do something to help swipe aggro again I think.

But yeah they didn't include those changes but I agree they might have to.



I still don't get the nerfs to shadow priests. PoM changes seem fine to me, it doesn't completely invalidate shaman's chain heals anymore. It was too good. And while the shadow priest changes may be small, shadow priests weren't uber strong to begin with. I just don't understand why, but I could be missing something.


Warriors may have been over buffed as well. I still didn't see huge rage issues with my warrior or the warriors I played with.


We'll see how it works out. I'll admit druids may have been nerfed too much but well they were buffed too much in 2.0 anyway, at least I felt that way.
