Upcomming Druid Changes

This Post is about upcomming druid changes.

I will do my best to keep up on upcomming druid changes and post them here.

Travel Changes:
-Travel Form: Requires level 16
-Flight Form: Requires level 60 (150% flight speed)
-Swift Flight Form: Requires level 70

Feral Cat DPS
Kitty dps is probably a little too high. It's tricky though because it is a very demanding spec to play well and if nerf it for the best players, the less-skilled ones might really see their dps plummet.

I'll say again that we purposely designed Ulduar to have a great diversity among the bosses. Depending on which bosses you look at, the list of whose dps is too low or too high changes. If Ulduar had 3 additional or 5 fewer bosses, the answer would probably be different.

- New druid art for cat and bear forms has been added. There are now five unique color schemes for each form and faction. Changing hair color (night elves) or skin tone (tauren) via the barbershop will change the look of one's cat and bear forms.

General

-Flight Form: Can now be learned at level 60. Flight speed increased to 150%.
-Innervate: Duration reduced to 10 seconds, and cooldown reduced to 3 minutes. This means each use of Innervate will give half as much mana as before, but it will be available twice as often.
-Lifebloom: The final heal that occurs when this spell blooms has been reduced by 20% on the base and on the spell power coefficient.
-Mangle: Ranks 4 and 5 base points reduced by about 11%. Scaling from attack power unchanged.
-Rake: Ranks 6 and 7 base points on initial and periodic damage reduced by about 7%. Scaling from attack power unchanged.
-Rip: Ranks 8 and 9 base points and points per combo point reduced by about 6%. Scaling from attack power unchanged.
-Savage Defense: The animation for gaining this buff will no longer make the bear stand upright
-Shred: Ranks 8 and 9 base points reduced by about 10%. Scaling from attack power unchanged.
-Swipe (Cat): Percent of weapon damage done reduced from 260% to 250%.
-Travel Form: Can now be learned at level 16.
Talents
Balance
-Balance of Power: Now reduces all spell damage taken by 3/6%, rather than reducing the chance to be hit by spells by 2/4%.
-Eclipse: The Starfire and Wrath buffs from this talent are now on separate 30 second. cooldowns. In addition, it is not possible to have both buffs active simultaneously.
-Owlkin Frenzy: Now also restores 2% base mana every 2 seconds for the duration (10 seconds) in addition to its current effects.
Restoration
-Empowered Touch: Now also increases the amount of bonus healing effects for Nourish by 10/20%.
