Would like to see more stuff moved to rows 1-6/7

And I still think Raze should buff Maul into more damage no matter how many targets.

That’s it?

I assume more is coming, but that’s probably just copium.

Let’s hope

Mangle does that already.

Bad idea to hve a rage spender buff another rage spender. Gotta balance it out. Builder and spender

Finally some relevant changes. Only took a season.

Maul and Raze don’t build rage either way

I’m saying the talent Raze should do more dmg, even ST, than maul.

Yes I know, you’re missing the entire point. Rage builders buff rage spenders.

So Raze buffing Maul and vice versa works against the build and spend foundation of Rage.

And if you’re using Raze, you’re not using Maul, so the buff would be wasted.

That’s not how AoE abilities work. Outside of ST, even on simply 2 targets, Razes damage dwarfs Mauls

10

Nah you aren’t getting me.

I’m saying Raze still replaces Maul. Just makes it so Maul ST isn’t BETTER than Raze ST vs changing it to keep both abilities.

If they change it to keep both, I assume all Maul buffing procs/talents will continue to buff Raze as well.

11

Obviously. It doesn’t make sense to keep both and have and AoE do more ST damage than the ST ability.

12

‘Doesn’t make sense’

I’m not sure that’s a safe bet around here.

Getting DoC that early is a nice change.
Dropping GG down a teir its also great news for moon and fur builds

I haven’t looked at the proposed talent tree. Does this let us take GG with UFR?

15

Potentially. We’ll have to see where its new path is (im guessing where SotF is) . But the better news is its now in the second teir. That means can spend 1 more talent point on something else in the 3rd teir.

ursocs guidance…
pulverize…
thorns…

this is good!

The Innate Resolve buff is pretty disgustingly good, I’ll say that much.

At 40% health, Innate resolve gives ~100% increased healing to Frenzied Regen, which means you’ll go from 40% health to 104% health over the course of a single auto-regen (in PvE, anyway – and this is before considering any versatility that you might have).

Paired with the much more accessible Dream of Cenarius, guardians’ll be in a better spot defense and support-wise compared to before… though aren’t they still lacking quite a bit in single target damage?

This is a good start, if they rethink the class tree it will be a huge win for all 4 specs.

There was also a datamined spell change to lunar beam that gives it 15% additional health while standing inside it, not amazing but it is an actual change to the doa spell. Shifting bear back towards that big health tank playstyle.

19

Every 60 seconds as long as you stand perfectly still. Still DOA.

NOBODY WANTS LUNAR BEAM

Unless the next patch note reads “replaced lunar beam with orbit breaker”, I dont wanna hear another god damn word about lunar beam!
