SD is on the PTR
Unrelated note. They be looking at Swipe.
Quote:We are going to take another look at Swipe. Since we are trying to fix some problems where druids are too good at tanking it seems reasonable to also look at cases where they struggle.
Please don’t follow this up a dozen threads that say “My class needs compensation for nerfs too!” We generally don’t offer compensation for nerfs since they are supposed to be nerfs. But in this case we are trying to realize our goal of having 4 viable MT classes and druid AE threat generation is )
The main point in the discussion is to delink Swipe from requiring a target.
Which would be awesome.-Day light savings is for fools.
Here’s a link about the new skill. click me
Gonna read up and follow up soonish.
edit —
Well the blog by Felhoof seems to be the most concise listing of information I can find as of now.
Seems the skill is fairly buggy and not quite polished yet. It has high latency issues and doesn’t always proc when it should. It does not proc off of DoT crits or mitigate magic damage.
Also there have been calls to slightly tweak it to make it more bear like as the shield isn’t very bear. Either making it a bear gets bigger thing or a Savage Attack. Same basic idea just different implementations that are more bear flavored. Which I fully support.
Any other news will be much appreciated.
