    When will these changes be implemented to the PTRs?? I still have a GCD on Combustion and my Arc Explosion resets stacks of Arc Blast! Anyone?

    I don't, it just seems like such an obvious improvement, even if it's only a slight one.

    Changes are on the PTR today, and it's not Glyph of GREATER Proportion, its actually LESSER Proportion.

    WTF?

    Who wants smaller pets?
