    this will drastically change arcane rotation me thinks

    Well, that 4p for warrior dps its better than the previous one.

    Ha, I'm loving those Elemental bonuses

    Whoa. That Elemental Shaman 2pc AND 4pc. I just fanboy'd so much, and I'm about to sell all of the enhancement gear I was grinding this week...
  1. Invrnc's Avatar
    They seem to have addressed a lot of the issues people have brought up. Like the ret 2pc being more RNG (now it's fixed), or the shadow 2pc taking away Masochism mana. That's good to see.

    Oh god..I foresee a lot of whining about mages being favoured now..
  1. Inimicus's Avatar
    Wow, that's a pretty substantial change to the Ele shaman 2pc.
  1. ComputerNerd's Avatar
    A nice addition for warlocks, in actually giving us a reason to soulburn for the sake of the buff. The switching round of the duration increases is making a lot of sense too.
  1. wiggle987's Avatar
    warlock 4pc change is certainly nicer now, a bit bias for destruction, makes me wonder if that's signs of destruction changes and warlocks rejoicing.

    you forgot to highlight that they changed arcane power reduction from 3 to 7 seconds

    war 4p is still bad, but better than the "oh look a bonus for when you already had won the fight anyway"
  1. Rennadrel's Avatar
    Yay, the DK DPS 4 piece bonus is still worthless.

    Wow. Arcane Power's cd is 90 sec with the talent. The set bouns reduces the cooldown by 70 sec after 10 casts. THe cooldown now is 20 sec. And the duration of Arcane Power is 15 sec.

    Ikrite? It's not like it was powerful to begin with. Now its even weaker. Borderline useless.
  1. Lorimuni's Avatar
    Glad they changed the priest 2 set. This definitely works a lot better for Holy now as DH is likely to be cast during times when we need lots of throughput and reduced mana cost on our heavy hitting spells at that time will be a good thing. Little weird that Disc gets to double dip though.

    Mage set bonuses almost makes me regret quitting. Damn they're awesome.
