Meh. They haven't touched the paladin DPS nerfing, or the JotW nerf. Decent changes, but we still need more.

they changed JotW a few days ago already, u should follow the notes better ^.^

atm its ''Your Judgement spells have a 100% chance to grant the Replenishment effect to up to 10 party or raid members mana regeneration equal to 0.5% of their maximum mana per second, and to immediately grant you 20% of your maximum mana.''

(tested it on PTR on past 2 days and we dont starve on mana, more like theres more of it than u can use)

How are u going to match feral dps to rogues? Will rogues be getting bear form and rejuv spells so they never die also?

Pet leveling has always been broken. A pets XP gain is currently tied to the hunter's. What does this mean? A pet that is much lower level than a hunter takes forbidingly long to level.

Why should a pets XP gain be tied to a hunter's?

Long time now have the pets XP gains needed to be seperated from the hunters. It makes no sense that I have to fight something level 65+ for my level 40 pet to gain any XP. Their gain should be the same as a player that groups with a high level player. This way a hunter at level 70 cold tame a level 20 pet and level it. At present, a hunter that tames that same said pet cannot level them at all, unless there killing mobs level 65+ This is insane for players that wanna go back and tame a pet, for a special color or name.

Alternative?

Pets level to 5 levels under that of the hunter when tamed. then start to gain XP normally.
This alone will make gaining pets more a treat than an imposible task for an under-level pet.

people forget that to be a rogue, you need to role a rogue...

I agree here Mesican619.
Druids are a jack of all trades with their shape shifting.
Catform is a rogue knock off. Lets face it.
If they want to be equal to Rogues or Warriros, they need to become role an alt that is one of those classes.

Their shape shifts imitations of the classes should be 25% less effective.
As is, a druid can tank better than a warrior of equal level.
They can heal, they are immune to sapping an d polymorph effects in beast forms.

I would say that a Druid is the super class of the current time. I dont think druids need any more additions, they need balances to restore their "Jack of all trades, master of none" theme. as you know druid players make up the bulk of most BG players at this time, and that should kinda tell blizzard something. players in general arent out to be fair and balanced, they are out for power trips and easy kills.

Most classes cannot compete with a druid at present in an one on one envireoment, they cant even come close.

I believe what you've suggested is planned for the expansion, but not sure to what extent (i.e. it might only occur up to a certain level).

Pretty sure I read this on a Curse daily blue thread in the past few days. Have a look back through.

Immune to sap and polymorph effects in beast form?

Polymorph perhaps, since that affects humanoids but sap? Please show me where that has ever happened.. How often I play in a bg and constantly get stunlocked by a rogue... It's all various forms of their sap and disorientation...

A bear can tank as well as a prot warrior? Sure, with double the healing due to no mitigation..

Druids are the jack of all trades.. they have never been as good as a pure class.. that is their design.

"Immune to sap and polymorph effects in beast form?

this post is full of fail....

1 read the tooltip on poly
2 read the tooltip on sap
3 sap =/= stunlock (for further info, please see step 2)

but, atleast you got the sap and disorientation relationship right.

Prot warriors rage-starved? Pfffth. Playing one, I actually find it a problem to dump my rage fast enough. Spamming Devastate is one of the better tatics in being a tank--but even with a little Thunderclap/Shield Slam/Shield Block... I gets more than I need.

Mate, heard of Heroic Strike to dump your rage and gain more threat? But the better your gear, the more rage starvation you feel, since you avoid more damage while dps classes improve damage with gear and do more threat.
