"Turn Undead(Rank 3): This spell has been reworked and has been renamed to "Turn Evil". It will now work on Demons in addition to Undead. Turn Evil is subject to diminishing returns, and lasts 10 seconds in PvP."

So does that mean I can now fear that Undead Stun Rogue, or does this just apply to Warlock Pets?

I don't really think there was a need for that nerf, but maybe thats just me. It's possible that it was only reduced by a small percent, which would make you lose maybe 200 healing total for a BT/Hyjal raider. Not that much, just a tweak.

Also, the Molten Armor change is interesting. It makes it more viable for PvP, its going to be the anti-nuker spell, since it will now induce a knockback on spells as well as reduced chance to crit. Ice Armor is sitll anti-melee just because of the slow.

@turkeyspit. Undeads as a race are classified as humanoids, so no. This should apply to warlock pets though, which is awsome.

Sweet, nerfing PVE for PVP arena's sake. Just awesome.





/sarcasm

Do you seriously believe that healy druids are worth brining endgame? Seriously?

Naw.

Because, that aura is just sooo much better than anything a paladin or a priest can bring.

Also from the patch notes:

Empowered Rejuvenation: This talent now properly affects the final heal from Lifebloom.

Looks like a simple rebalancing to me, not a nerf.

It is a nerf for pve, because the bloom is not important for pve play. It is (in total) a buff for pvp resto druids because the bloom is crucial for pvp play. The language of the bloom portion of empowered healing suggests that it is viewed as a fix, although I don't care too much about that sort of spin.

The total reduction to the lifebloom ticks appears to be around 9%. Given that a typical resto druid's raid healing is over 80% lifebloom, this is around a 7-8% reduction in overall healing for raiding druids.

That smarts.

I just typed the same post about shamans and forgot to put in password.

i mean just getting screwed again by blizzard.. Once again proving that the most discriminated class is the priest.. unreal.. who gives a crap about the .3 seconds when the spell is 20% less powerful... so if over the 15 seconds i get say 1 extra cast!!! meanwhile they are all 20% lower!! i cant take it when they change major aspects about a character.. i am all for patches but there are base set things which should not be changed... this was one of them

oh and let me add 1 more thing... the time it takes to cast the power infusion and the global coodown after it takes all the time ur gunna gain over the next 15 seconds away!!! im just annoying myself now... just horrible... horrible

You clearly don't get it. There is no functional difference between 20% increased damage and 20% increased speed.

100 damage x.1.2 = 120% damage
100 casts x 1.2 = 120 casts

The math is exactly the same. This change makes this ability useful in PvP. If that silly rogue with the 1.5 GCD thinks he's going to interrupt your power infused casts, he'd better find a way to shorten his own GCD or you're still going to get the cast off. This is a way to be able to fit some nukes in between CC more easily, rather than have the infusion completely wasted by CC in PvP.

I agree; as someone who occasionally uses PI for a boost to damage/healing (and as an extra bit of mana regain for my Shadowfiend in conjunction with something like Xiri's Gift)... I don't want haste, thanks, unless it's _in addition to_ the damage/healing buff... this makes it even less useful, except, as noted, for PvP.

On PTR it's 1 sec if talented right now. Not sure if that's working as intended.

Have you never specced 0/21/40 Demo sac Destro? PVE DPS is unaffected. PVP locks will be affected, on the other hand.

I am a pvp lock.
