    Moonkin change: pve nerf. honestly all i can think of, despite them being meh in pve.

    rogue: I honestly felt as if Sub was the one and only spec at high levels, sure woundman can play another spec, but that doesn't mean its top tier. think they just wanted more diversity among rogues. same with combat.

    ele: i have no idea whats going on here

    I'm happy about the rogue buffs it seems like they were struggling.

    Also about the Priest being able to cast Renew, PoM, and LoF. It takes a glyph to be able to do that which takes away when dueling a Holy Pally in an arena because this means either re glyph out of the reflective shield glyph or dark binding to glyph into mass dispell . (obv one would chose the reflective shield).
