patch 2.0.10 notes on the PTR

[Quark]

My first impression:

Druid tanking - Mega, uber, crazy, super nerfed.
Shadow Priests - Mega nerf.
Warrior tanking - buffed nicely

I really think that they went overboard on the Druid bearform nerfs. They just lost 20% of damage off of special attacks, 25% damage off of mangle, 5% damage off of crits (all of these translate to direct threat nerfs, as well), ~10% less armor in bear form as well as a fair amount of health (not sure, exactly, how much at the moment) all in one fell swoop. This seems to be another example of several Blizzard teams deciding, independantly, to nerf a specific attribute about a class, at the same time, without talking to one another. I'll grant that the Druid bearform was very powerful, currently (probably a bit too powerful) but these are really over the top.

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.
