Revitalize (3 points) - When your Regrowth or Lifebloom heal-over-time periodic damage critically hits, you instantly regenerate 1/2/3% of your total mana. This effect cannot occur more than once every 6 seconds.


so revitalize got nerfed, and no longer regens raid members rage/energy/runic power/mana. ...Why?

LMFAO at Nom Nom Nom. XD

These talent trees have a lot of potential for making some resto druids in pvp go -really- deep into the balance tree.

21/0/55 resto pvp build with all mandatory resto talents including natural perfection and imp barkskin. Also contains the interrupt/aoe silence (solar beam) on a 1min cd, 50% damage reduction while channeling tranquility and the damage/knockdown (starsurge) on a 15s cd.

Is there anything new comparing to the Alpha Leak??

Druids Slow Motion Form again?

It's not a nerf, it's a change. With us apparently needing a lot more mana in cataclysm, 3% mana every 6 seconds seems pretty nice.

So, while I like the changed to the feral tree, I just am not seeing the whole "less mandatory, more fun" talents that Blizz has promised us with Cata. Being a kitty, all except for the ones that are bear-only, I see all those talents being yummy dps improvements.

throwing out Primal Gore? ((

They didnt throw it out, they are just making it baseline

[axio]

TO-DO
*Balance mana regen
*Restoration health raid-buff

Resto health raid-buff o.O

I'm taking by the way WoWHead.com said they were sent the talent previews but couldn't show them all just yet, and Boub's countdown earlier, that the fansites have all the previews but its embargoed. Is this correct?

[apepi]

Yes I can finally talk about it............wait I did not say anything....
anyways anyone think http://cata.wowhead.com/talent#0VGcs...oZfVctfzzeoVho would be a good resto druid build you get damage,you get feral charge(they moved it down) and a silence,you do losses heal though, 21/11/44
Or http://cata.wowhead.com/talent#0VGcs...fVctfzceoVhsbo 24/0/52 and you get dreamstate and wild growth.


btw solar beam+roots 3x+ 3xcyclone=lots of cc.

[catalystical]

Solar Beam is

A 12 second silence?

[Ceradÿn]

Solar Beam is

A 12 second silence?

I think if only you stay standing under it.

EDIT: These changes are sick. Boomkins look like there going to be PvP gods, And in the resto tree they still have imp tranquility, fail :P

[Skandulous]

the beam last 12 seconds silencing any1 standing in it

Your most likely going to want talents like Imp Tranquility (at least for 3s/5s) because of the new 50% dmg reduction. GotEM is also good with the instant heal... and maybe haste? It's in the blue post but not in either of the talent calculators. Should take it to the Druid forums tho, and don't forget that the resto tree is only 90% done (on it's 1st Pass)

[Peanus]

So as of now, feral druids will be even more awesome (seems they get buffed...) in Cata ?

I thinking of rerolling (playing a lolpala atm)!

Too bad we're stacking arp now, and they are removing arp in 4.0 (correct me if im wrong). Maybe bringing the whole arp thing was a bad idea.
