Kick us while we are down

Posted in Blogs, Druid News, Forum Watch at 12:51 am by tangedyn

Well, apologies for not having any updates for the past 2 weeks, but really there was not much to put up. Very little has been said by blues on any of the druid forums. The patch notes for WoW 2.0 was borked, and instead we were given a crappy version of the 2.0.1 beta pushed into the live realms. TBC Beta 2.0.3 has been pushed, and, what do you know… more druid nerfs!

First the druid changes in TBC Beta 2.0.3

  • Tree of Life changed, now +25% Spirit conversion to healing is provided to heals received to party members, instead of heals cast by party members
  • Tranquility now heals 1518 every 2 seconds for 8 seconds (around 4-5x more healing done), but has the cooldown doubled to 10 mins
  • Rune of Metamorphosis changed from 100% cost reduction to flat 550 mana reduction
  • Idol of Ferocity changed from -3 energy to +20 dmg, no longer affects mangle
  • Idol of Brutality changed from -3 rage to +50 dmg
  • 3/8 Stormrage Set now provides 20 mana/5 seconds instead of 15% mana regen
  • Bear form HP bonus nerfed from +40% to +25%

The first compilation of druid questions on the European Druid forums was a pretty good success, with many of the questions answered. There is now a second compilation, and the blues hope to get answers for those as soon as possible. Here’s to hoping!

We are indeed all cheering.

We will try to get replies, but don’t hold your breath (I can’t promise a reply unfortunately, but I’ll see what I can do).

Tier 5 Armor sets are out, you can check out their stats from this huge image, or from the Thottbot links. You can also compare them with the Tier 4 Malorne sets.

Also, the last piece of the Moonglade set has be found
