Patch notes are out. Looks like some of the Moonkin changes didn't make it.

Looks like the patch notes are finally out. The two changes I was looking forward to the most aren't in there:

- Soul of the forest reducing Starfall cost by an additional 10
- Stellar drift damage increase from 20->60% (Fixed. Now Included)

So with that in mind, what are you guys planning on running talent wise for Balance druids in M+ in 7.1.5? These two changes were really going to help with our ramp time and AoE burst damage. Without them I feel like we might still be in a rough spot.

Edit: Looks like stellar drift has been added into the notes. Gotta hope for SOTF now.

Legendary changes aside, the total notes are:

The damage done by most Balance spells has been increased.
Echoing Stars (Artifact Trait) damage increased by 20%.
Rapid Innervation now gives 10% haste (was 20%).

A 20% buff to an artifact trait that was already rubbish, and a totally ambiguous "most balance spells". Until they clarify which Balance spells, and by what amount, it's really hard to say anything. If the stellar drift talents are actually in, probably that.

I am pretty sure the wording of "The damage has been increased" is the class Auras they were talking about. More detailed info on those can be found on wowhead. I would be really surprised if SOTF / SD changes were lumped into that. Seems much more likely that they would call those out one by one because they are functional changes.

I'm pretty sure they just didn't bother with half the patch notes, not that they reverted those changes.

I certainly hope so my man. We'll know pretty quickly when we login based on SOTF's description. I have to work all day tomorrow - hoping that someone can report in on the changes early

Once again, I think this is more related to the Auras and not a fundamental talent change. All other talent changes are clearly documented in the patch notes. I suppose we can hope though.

lol sigh, pathetic.

Pathetic why? Because these patch notes are 99% different than what was on the PTR for months?

Nice, you're right. They added it. It wasn't initially included.
