Blood Legion

Many of you have expressed concern about the Shaman’s Frost Shock and the Mage’s frost spells. The slow effect remains on a Druid even after shapeshifting. This is not acting as intended and should be fixed in time.

On the subject of animal forms, one of the top concerns of the community has been that cat form DPS is somewhat lacking past level 40 or so. The designers acknowledge that this is a problem and they plan on adjusting the higher-level damage to be more in line with the original concept.

One of the changes planned is the addition of a direct-damage finishing move. This should help the Druid cat form significantly.

Speaking of enhancements to the forms, I feel this is a good time to mention the new, upcoming Bear Form ability currently being worked on that causes rage generated to heal the Druid instead of actually generating rage.

Q u o t e:
Oh! Thought of something I'd like to get an answer to: Aggro management in healer/caster form.

When I'm a biped, I want to manage aggro properly. Now, I've maxed out subtlety. But what I would like is some way to do a targeted "ignore me" like cower, but in my human form. Do you think they'd ever put this in?

So far I've relied on the Salvation aura from a party paladin, but I'd like a targetable anti-aggro.



I believe there's something being pondered that should address this at least partially, but more than that I can't say. We need to be sure of some things first.

The developers do understand the issue where cat/bear DPS does not improve past 60 besides stat boosts -- they have to address it in a more worldly fashion, however. Remember, classes like the Mage also suffer this sort of problem with their primary damage output once they hit cap. They'll be looking into it.
