Nice to see little buffs for spriests and mages' Combustion finally getting fixed, but what's up with the BW nerf? Or did I minsuderstand it?

From what it says it might increase your damage done by 10% at all times along with the effect it currently has

So speccing into it:

1) You get the whole beast within thing
2) You get a permanent 10% damage increase

Beastcleave nerfs ;D thats was fast.
<3 priest/mage buffs.

Very displeased with the BM nerf.

I thought Blizz admitted that we needed improvement, not a nerf.

I guess the 10% over all *might* be better in the end, but come on, this is a rather rotten thing to do.

I rather like my BRK

Ah... thanks for clearing up.

Hmm, I don't know if the changes to Subversion will buff SS enough to really compensate for the 3.2 nerf... just seems to make Unholy an even more unattractive spec compared to Blood.

Like the flameshock/glyph of flameshock/lavaburst changes.
