It's a known bug that was reported in beta/PTR 3 months ago. It was fixed very late on the PTR, apparently the fix didn't make it to live.

Since feral sucks, it's nice to switch to moonkin and be missing 25%+ of my damage there too.

What happened to feral? I only just got to patch late last night, didn't get a chance to get on and play with it.

My feral in beta seemed ok...

Feral DPS or feral tank? As for druid tanking, I'm overjoyed with the changes. While swipe is on a 6 second cool down, I actually have other abilities I can use now instead of just spamming my swipe/maul macro. It's more work to keep aggro but I feel like I'm actually tanking now. Also, the change in stamina added about 5-6k more health for me so in heroics, I'm sitting at 62k or so health.

Also, healing on my shaman is insane. I have like 1300 mana regen out of combat now...it's crazy. I know it's scaled for 85 etc etc but it's still awesome right now. Those people that haven't gotten a LK kill yet will certainly have a better opportunity to get one now. I just wish my guild was still together for a heroic LK kill. :/

Just so you know, its not just Frost or Fire damage anymore. Mage Ward also absorbs Arcane damage, which makes Incanter's Absorbtion a little more useful if it weren't for the fact that most raidwide damage in ICC/RS is either Nature (rot,fester) or Shadow(lk,bql,ldw 1st phase,halion inside) damage.

This is more or less what I was implying. Mages don't even have anything to interrupt outside of Halion trash (they'll get beaten by Rogues) and shit in Deathwhisper's room (again they'll get beaten by Rogues most of the time). I find more often that I'll be taking fire/frost/arcane damage than I'll be interrupting in the current tier of raids. Maybe that will change come Cataclysm.

Considering I don't do PvP I'm probably going to grab fire mainspec with arcane offspec. Fire spec will probably be either a DPS spec w/ 2/3 Arcane Concentration (might switch to Piercing Ice if MP isn't a problem) or a Blast Wave + Improved Flamestrike spec to play around with the AoE spells. Arcane will most likely be this spec although I might lose a point from Arcane Concentration if MP isn't a problem and put that point into Incanter's Absorbtion.

I highly doubt mana will be a problem for fire in raids considering it's not even a problem on test dummys.

So for Ret Paladins that have done some raiding in 4.0, has anyone tried out macroing rebuke to every single ability? I heard on EJ if you do that it will proc a seal everytime you use rebuke. Also reforging, turn everything into crit right?

Anyone else getting abnormally High latency and random d/c?

I've been getting disconnected when ever I go into a dungeon. Some examples would be The Nexus, The Oculus, Halls of Stone/Lightning, and Culling of Stratholme.

I think Town lag was the problem. Seems fine out doing Dailies.

There any way to reduce the size of the Power Auras? It's nice to have a big visual notification of procs but shit is huge.

Managed to get on game...

I thought the justice point cap was 4000

I've got...

I want to spend them all of course. I had about 1500 triumphs before I went to bed.

Should I enquire a GM about it? I don't wanna get a ban stick for "exploiting".

EDIT: I can't see anywhere in the patch notes about it being lifted.

EDIT2: I just checked wiki, it seems I misunderstood the notes. So unless I afk for 2 months now I'm unable to take advantage of the gold conversion (which I assumed this patch will do).

Ok gonna buy all my shinies and then dump it all on gems.

[Meph]

this patch only made frost+triumph into JP, 4.0.3 will make everything over 4k JP into gold

[Siniroth]

Anyone else get their Metamorphosis form sprinting in place ridiculously fast?

Is earthquake a pve talent, or are elemental shaman putting their 31st point somewhere else before climbing down the enh. talents? I'm trying to understand the logic behind a 31-pt talent being an AoE ability.

[Falaras]

My god that is a lot of justice points. I barely had enough to get my T10 legs and Prot libram (since they made it good now)

Hurricane v.2?

Oh, so it's something to pop at the start of a 5-pull in a heroic to piss off your tank?

[Wintermute]

Any use for Spirit for Mage or am I safe to re-forge to Hit/Mastery/Whatever I need at the time.

EDIT:
Is it me or is Arcane about the same?
Played about on a dummy and was getting around the same DPS as I was pre-patch but I wasn't using CDs/trinkets/etc.

Tempted to try Fire but no clue on rotations for it.

[WyldFyre]

Arcane rotation seems about the same, but a reforged build is giving me a huge boost in dps. I reforged all my hit over to mastery, which took me under the hit cap for raids but perfect for dungeons, then got Maghira's Misguided Quill to put me back over the hit cap for raids. Works a treat.

[guartz]

I reforged my fire mage, took out spirit/crit for mastery. Nearly doubled my dps.

[guartz]

Typical rotation for fire that I use is; living bomb, scorch, fireball/(if multiple targets)fire nova, flamestrike.

[Militant]

Anyone rolling any horde toons on Korgath? Be nice to know someone from BG. Noob to WoW but picking it up pretty fast, so far I am thoroughly enjoying it. Level 15 Undead Rogue at the moment (lol).
