Resolved an issue that prevented the 50% PvP reduction to the Throw Glaive cast by Screaming Torchfiend’s Brutality (2-piece) from being applied.
All really good. A little on the lighter end than what I would’ve expected, but maybe the 4set fix is bigger than I think.
Battlecruisr:
Druid
Adaptive Swarm can no longer be cast during arena or battleground preparation.
Fixed an issue that caused the Well-Honed Instincts debuff to not clear upon the start of a PvP match.
Feral
Frenzied Regeneration is no longer reduced by 37.5% for Feral and Balance Druids in PvP combat. Restoration druids’ Frenzied Regeneration remains reduced by 50% in PvP combat.
Wild Attunement no longer activates when Cyclone is cast on an immune target.
Restoration
Fixed an issue that caused Reforestation stacks to persist past the starting room in PvP instances.
Fixed an issue that caused Reactive Resin to apply to the Restoration Druid if heal over time effects were dispelled after being spell stolen.
Tune down resto, buff boomy/feral survivability, and fix a dumb interaction? Looks good to me!

Jade fire healing and dmg increase which is the faeline stomp means more healing from ancient teachings sheeling’s gift is also more healing from them for bursty healing if they talent into it and expel harm also does dmg to people to just more ancient teachings healing.
so many small brains in here don’t understand how tuning works…these changes are some of the best we’ve had

their the best we have had cause we haven’t had any for 2 months lol and thier not even that great. certain ones like enhance, lock set nerf, warrior execute buff yea those are good. Some need more than what they were given like dh and outlaw rouge also buffing fw unintentionally was also great.
Why? What makes you say this?
I’m just quoting you here because it was easy to find and a LOT of people are saying the same thing. Being totally honest, none of these changes really effect FW. Yes, there are some small number increases, but the healing is so frontloaded into ancient teachings that it realistically does not matter. If they can connect, they’ll keep someone alive with or without these buffs.

ret warr fw meta inc
I am also concerned about this, but I think there were some pretty big mage buffs AND buffs to druid survivability. Mage and Druid both do really well into FW between roots and clone and poly.

the buffs don’t do much to fw, it’s just annoying to see the spec not get nerfed considering fw is already insane in the comps it works with

I hear you on this, trust me, I do. I hate getting W keyed by ret/war/fw every game. However, I DO think that the biggest reason we’re seeing FW do so well now is that there are basically no mages and very few druids.
yo u must be pumped for surv

spent over a decade complaining about mages and then as soon as theyre gone we beg for thr return fr
It should just be the stompy itself, not the conversion. Verrrrry minor.
the mage thing could be true yeah
there’s still plenty of rdruids going around tho
Surv dmg is good purely due to 4set, the mongoose buff maybe a pre change for next season set revolving around it.

I don’t really play with fws I hate the spec to the core too much to know to the full extent on fw and it’s kit I just know shiny thing that makes them do healing from dispelling them and the other is dmg.
