    Buffs2Bugfix4Changes5

    Buffs

    Balance

    Moonkin Aura now only increases Spell Critical Strike chance, and is Raid wide.

    Feral

    Leader of the Pack now only increases Melee and Ranged Critical Strike chance, and is Raid wide.

    Bugfix

    Omen of Clarity: Fixed a bug where this could be triggered by Faerie Fire while in Cat Form, Bear Form, or Dire Bear Form. Since Faerie Fire costs no resources in those forms, it cannot trigger Omen of Clarity.

    Fixed an issue where Heart of the Wild, Feral Swiftness, Thick Hide, and Leader of the Pack were not applying correctly to characters when they logged in.

    Fixed an issue allowing multiple Faerie Fire debuffs to be active on a target.

    Fixed an issue where high ranks of Rejuvenation were preventing other Druids from applying Rejuvenation to the target.

    Changes

    Shred (Rank 1) is now learned at level 20 (was 22). It was possible to get Shredding Attacks before knowing Shred or Lacerate

    Faerie Fire: Now generates threat while in Bear Form or Dire Bear Form (instead of just initiating combat at 0 threat).

    Balance

    Multiple instances of Insect Swarm will no longer continue to reduce the target’s hit chance.

    Feral

    The flat damage on Shred’s tooltip will now correctly scale with the % damage increase of the Savage Fury talent.

    Furor now allows the player to retain the Energy they had when they were last in Cat Form even if they go into Bear or Dire Bear Form.

    Buffs2Nerfs1Bugfix3Changes5

    Buffs

    Bear Form and Dire Bear Form: Threat bonus increased to 50% from 30%.

    Additional Rage generated from landing Critical Strikes increased to 100% increased Rage (Was 75%).

    Nerfs

    The base damage of Thorns has been returned to the Vanilla WoW values and the spell power ratio has been reduced to 6% (was 13.3%).

    Bugfix

    Fixed an issue where Cat Form was reducing your maximum health.

    Fixed a bug where Druids couldn’t use Mana Potions while in Bear/Dire Bear/Cat Form.

    Demoralizing Roar: Fixed an issue where it generated no threat. Now puts some threat on all affected targets.

    Changes

    The effects that override shapeshifting now more closely resemble Classic wow.

    Wrath: The base points and points per level of ranks 1-5 of this spell have been adjusted to make the growth rate of ranks 1-6 more consistent, and new ranks always an upgrade.

    Feral

    Thick Hide: This talent is now properly implemented in code, rather than script, resolving some bugs with equipping gear while shapeshifted not triggering it.

    Predatory Instincts: This talent has been renamed “Natural Instinct” and now also increases spell healing by 12/25% of Intellect.

    Shifting Power can no longer be used while already at Full Energy.

    All talents referencing Mangle now reference Primal Bite.

    The Primal Fury talent has been renamed and the icon replaced with the original Blood Frenzy name and icon.

    Mangle has been renamed Primal Bite. Its signature debuff has been removed, so the former name no longer accurately represented the ability.
