========================


Priest Balance
--------------

Clerics Duel Wield and Double Attack skill Caps have been reduced to 249.

Druids 1H Slash Skill Cap has been raised to 176.

Druids now get a class only AA ability that allows them to into tree form at will. You must have all 3 points into Lung Capasity, Innate Charisma and First Aid to unlock this ability.

After a long and hard test period we have added the Druid and Shaman 75% Heal spell to the game. We know you will be happy with it and put it to good use. It Drops off Lord Sue and is a no drop spell. -- Enjoy

/petition i hate you varent

My fear:

Another patch with "Priest Changes" but nothing about druids at all. :)

My fear:

Druids get real CH.

Welcome to the chain gang -- er, CH rotation :p .

No, I don't begrudge clerics CH at all. Not bitter at them either. I won't go into the unbalancing effects of CH on the game as a level 39, one-class spell, yadda yadda (though that did get driven in yesterday in PoM when one mediocrely-equipped, level 47 cleric did no sweat what 2 well-geared, level 60 druids with a fair amount of AAXP and focus items struggled to do -- kept a 10k hp pet alive).

Just want a little heal upgrade and the ability to multitask at raids, instead of getting stuck in a heal rotation :) . Would have preferred a nice little group heal for AOEs instead of iCH (inComplete Heal), but still looking forward to testing the new heal's usefulness. As it is, our cleric class captain is already chortling gleefully about iCH and possible chains.

i fear it too

My fear is drowning. And snakes,rats, commitment, loud sudden noises, being alone, being with someone, and Gnomes.

My Fear: Geting put in the CH rotation. I dont want a CH. I want a group heal and a HoT. No CH. I have told many people that if i get stuck in the CH rotation i will delete the spell from my book and change my spec to evocation. Of course they think i am joking.
