Noticed a few feral streamers are dropping Bloodtalons for Lions Strength with 10.0.5 and I’m having a hard time seeing why.
Did something happen other than loss of some bleed dmg?
Why would that cause a shift from BT to LS?
Something in the patch, can’t recall specifics atm but LS was simming higher IIRC
So there was no fundamental change to either of the abilities, but with the reduction to Rip and Circle, the loss of damage from over capping combo points as well as using burning energy on Thrash/Swipe to proc BT, LS pulled ahead

I made the swap after 10.0.5 and tbh don’t really miss blood talons.
I’m doing a lot more FB’s and trying to keep BT causes me to overcap CPs a lot of the time – especially during Incarn.
All in all, I think you could still do BT if you want to. I actually just prefer not to have to worry about it, and I’m glad it still feels good damage wise.

I use BT for AoE and LS for ST.
