    Interesting set bonus tweaks. Will be interesting to see how the new Seal of Justice change works out but to be quite honest it looks like they're fixing the Ret Paladin issue (Low sustained/High burst damage) with...more burst. Plenty of other things to take into considering, such as how it will work with Divine Purpose and so on.

    The change was announced some days ago. And shadow required a single-target buff.

    Was so hopeful that 200% increase on Muscle Memory would stay... Oh, well. 150% is fine still.

    Shadow is receiving massive nerfs in pvp. They won't be a worry this patch. The pvp single target was needed.

    TBH the buff to wrath starsurge starfire reading the tooltip numbers looks like a 16% buff not 9%

    at least they could buff Fireball a little so we can go fire and let all this arcane talk to the trash bin.

    Not likely, remember they announced plans to gain reputations more easily by awarding rep in LFD and Scenarios... this could just be a consolidated way of choosing the faction you'd like to boost without having to pick from a drop down menu every time.

    Oh well. It was close but still a giant middle finger to the non-daily crowd. 1000 rep per day for one rep. Whoop-de-fucking doo.

    Its really good for alts (especially if the Grand Commendations affect these bonuses) since a second grind through the same story line is not fun for everyone. Keep in mind this is a BONUS ~1100 rep or so, stack that with dailies and you'd be honored to exalted in less than a week, assuming you have grand commendations.

    agree with that... frost mage are already hitting like a truck atm. About SS buff... would be good if they actually buff Unholy, damage wise

    Arcane is ridiculously popular in 5.1 (made me reroll fire just to avoid mainstream specs for personal reasons), but the arcane nerfs for 5.2 are bigger than I thought.
