2.1.0 Patch Notes

[Concillian]

My initial reaction:

Devastate change: I'd be surprised if a devastate isn't the best DPS option for non-T5 equipped warriors for raid DPS now. Wimpy changed from Fury to Prot when he saw my spreadsheet showing comparable Prot DPS to Fury. He said he only dropped about 30 DPS or so in Karazhan. This buff to Devastate will be more than 30DPS. Other builds don't start doing better than Prot until Prot is limited by the GCD for devastate spam (or it hits the threat ceiling with the extra 67 TPS from the devastate spam).

Yeah, that didn't last...

Devastate change was already removed from the patch notes listed at this address:
http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/patchnotes/...patchnotes.html

People are noting major issues with devastate on PTR (hitting with nothing when 1H + shield) so it looks like they screwed up in removing the change.

It appears that they decided to change revenge instead:

"Revenge": This ability has been modified to do substantially more damage. The threat bonuses have been adjusted so that the threat generated remains relatively unchanged.
