Well well, today it’s my birthday, I turned 23 ^^ Damn, time flies so fast!

Last night we did High King Maulgar

[item]Malefic Mask of the Shadows[/item] – King
[item]Pauldrons of the Fallen Champion[/item] – King

On his lasts percents, I ended up tanking the King :P None wanted the [item]Malefic Mask of the Shadows[/item], so I picked it up.. hee hee hee.

And after that we headed to Karazhan to make a few attempts on Prince

Changing slightly the topic, today is the so-called druid nerf… hopefully I won’t get that “much” affected :(

Druids

• When the duration of “Cyclone” ends, area buffs such as “Leader of the Pack”, “Tree of Life”, and “Moonkin” will now be correctly resumed.
• “Bear Form” now grants 25% increased stamina instead of 25% increased health.
• “Dire Bear Form” now grants 25% increased stamina instead of 25% increased health. In addition, the armor bonus has been reduced from 450% to 400%.
• The multiplier on base weapon damage for “Mangle (Bear)” ability has been changed from 130% to 100%. In addition, the bonus damage has been reduced by the same ratio.
• “Savage Fury” no longer affects “Mangle (Bear)”.
• “Savage Fury” no longer applies to “Maul” or “Swipe”.
• The critical damage bonus on “Predatory Instincts” reduced from 3/6/9/12/15% to 2/4/6/8/10%.
• “Improved Leader of the Pack” can no longer get critical heals.
• The armor bonus from “Moonkin Form” has been increased from 360% to 400% (to match Dire Bear Form).
• The rage normalization equation has been adjusted to grant more rage.

What concerns me the most is the damage thing, at least on instances like Karazhan we druids can’t use Lacerate, which is a skill similar to Sunder Armor. This is because everything in Karazhan is undead, and there are very very few things (one or two) in which we can use Lacerate… And then Mangle is getting nerfed, not to mention the health and armor thing.

I also don’t understand why Moonkin form has armor but Tree of Life doesn’t… I guess what Blizzard wants is what Blizzard does…

Oops, I just read something very intereting:

Raids and Dungeons

• The use of Divine Shield, Ice Block, or Cloak of Shadows will no longer prematurely detonate the Shade of Aran’s Flame Wreath.

Hmm…

Has been a bit since I’ve updated… this is what has happened since then. If you notice, we could finally take down the Shade of Aran: the fight itself is not hard, once you get the swing.. hehe^^ Oh, and the items with * are those that I’ve been able to grab.

I also got the quest for Gruul.
