    That's not a change to the mage set.. it's the same bonus.

    Double checked it and you're right, blizz did change the bonus in 2.3.3 and wowhead/wowdb weren't updated.

    Thanks for the report Vekkul !

    bleh that's a horrible change to shamans...it's hard enough to get a lightning bolt off as it is....reducing the set bonus to 50% will make it harder =/

    would be nice to see hunters get reduced cooldown to their defensive abilities like scatter shot, wingclip, intimidation or even SS.

    Dude... WHAT THE H*LL!!!

    "* 4 pieces: The casting time on your Healing Touch spell is reduced by 0.25sec." ... WHAT druid in arena takes the time to cast HEALING TOUCH!!!!

    NOBODY! The ONLY time healing touch is EVER used by my druid in arena is when combined with Nature's Swiftness... and that makes it an instant cast.. who the hell cares about .25 seconds off!!!!!

    This isn't for raiding.. this is arena, c'mon blizz!

    I've never seen a resto druid in arena spec for Naturalist. Which if we did, with the new bonus i'd bring our healing touch cast time down to 2.75, which still defeats the purpose of being a druid and running around casting instant casth heals... now we're gonna expose ourselves and try casting a 3.5 - 2.75 second cast and get lock'd outta my healing spells.......

    As i said before... this isn't raiding.. this is arena...

    **in responce to update: YAY! ... i still will miss my speed increase, but i'll take regrowth cooldown reduction over healing touch any day...**

    Agreed.

    The typical arena spec 11/8/42 spec doesn't put any points into Naturalist (-0.5 sec from HT), Tranquil Spirit (-10% HT mana cost), nor Empowered Touch (+10% HT bonus healing) because we simply don't have the time to cast a 3.0 (or 2.75) sec heal in arena, while risking exposing our only spell tree to silencing effects.

    This is really a big nerf - +15% to Travel/Bear/Cat form while outdoors was the best thing for arena druids period. Kiting melee in bear form will now out because of this nerf. Having Travel Form go at 155% (almost as fast as a level 40 mount) will also be a thing of the past.

    Me? I'm glad that I find S3 to be so ugly that I've vowed to never upgrade to it and sticking with S2 instead. I'm glad that someone at Blizzard has played a druid in arena before /sarcasm

    But then again, maybe it is about time that druids got the nerf bat, so I can't really complain too much. Ironically, it doesn't affect me so I just shrug.
