Yes most long cool downs, the 3 specialty cloths included, have had their cool downs reduces by a few hours in order to help compensate for people who would make their item late one night and be screwed into having to make the items that late all the time after that.

The one-day cooldowns got shaved to 20 hours and the four day cooldowns got reduced to 92 hours. Makes it a little easier to fit in that transmute every time without having it gradually slip later and later because of not hitting it right on time.

Oh noes, you'll actually have to heal people before Aran sheeps them. It's now the hardest encounter in the game, nobody will ever get past it!

Tony must not play a squishy class. I am terrified of the Aran fight now.

As a healer with no group heals I'm more worried about the Ikiss fight in Heroic Sethekk. That sheep was a nice way for a party member to get heals so I could focus on the others.

The solution is simple. Do like always and kill him before he sheeps anyone. In any case Aran is an optional boss, and at worst people will be missing out on two badges and easy wipe recovery.

cause every arena team has a hunter

The arena system has been retardedly broken since its inception. This change isn't going to hurt anything.

I don't do Arenas, I'm not one of those who wants to be the struggler in the Arenas, I do BGs...
And if you don't think a 30sec CD, 10sec duration completely unavoidable and 30 yards Death-Coil isn't going to affect anything for me or any other Feral Druid who actually PvP tagged as a Beast 95% of the time, is so... so wrong.

Would you want such a counter in any way when you play, only useable against you? 30sec CD, 10sec duration, unavoidable, 30 yards range? Hm?

Don't worry, I won't stop to scare beast a feral. I'll save it for something in a battleground that is actually threatening.

The other thing to consider is that if a hunter does stop to fear you, you will probably get to live for 10 seconds longer than usual.

I guess you're just trying to upset me, cause I don't really see the point of your reply otherwise Manatank.
The fear, is instant cast, you have to be one lazy player if you can't spend that time to nullify another player. I'm not talking AV here where you just ride by each other... come to think of it, I have never said anywhere that I would assume that every Hunter that I meet in PvP looks down at me so much that they ignore me as a threat.
Wow.

Just stop provoking will you and see the bigger picture that I don't even have a fair chance of defeating a Hunter with this, it was hard before but it was doable if you knew how to play, but now it's just impossible.

Hunters #1 don't cry ;)

I agree with the druid. I don't mind so much the range change but the insta-cast is ridiculous. Atleast with the (short) cast time there was a chance to counter with shifting out. If the fear was broken on damage it might be more tolerable.

There are not a lot of good hunters in Arena, but in every BG there are mountains of 12 year old noob hunters wearing their season 1 shoulders and rocking their valanos long bow. The only consolation is that after popping my trinket, I can usually drop one of these hunters before the cooldown is up.

Riding crop change won't happen. It was taken off the PTR when the developers realized they failed to plan anything for spell summoned mounts.

Whenever anything gets worse it's a "nerf", not a "bug fix". But whenever anything gets better, it's a "repair", not a "buff"?
