Re: Druid changes.
Not having actually played on the test realm I can't give any numbers of my own, but judging from some numbers others have reported and the numbers given in the patch notes...
The armour and HP nerfs while not insignificant, aren't that terribly distressing to me.
The bear damage nerf on the other hand, is of concern, namely in threat generation. While bear damage is tending on the high side currently, in terms of bear agro generation and how much damage is actually required to hold agro against the players who I play with, getting my agro cut by about 1/3 is going to be a pretty big problem.
Increased rage generation is all and good when you're not tanking in a raid, but when you've pretty much got unlimited rage from the damage taken, it doesn't do much good against the nerf to agro.
And Swipe... what is the point of Swipe again?
