lots of balancing in the latest patch...


Remove Curse and Abolish Poison can now be used in Moonkin form. makes me happy

Starfall will now be cancelled by any shapeshifting. not so much. i hope it isn't cancelled by shifting from boomkin -> regular form, but it probably is. >.<
it was awesome being able to pop starfall and then run around in travel form to pull as many mobs as possible ^^

Paladins got one too. The end of face pulling?I sort of was using avenger's shield like a long distance taunt and pull most of the time, so I sort of didn't even notice that!

Well, you and everybody else. Mostly having a giggle at everyone getting ranged taunts. What's next, priests?

Oh wait, that's called healing.

my job just keeps gettin easier and easier....charge in and never have to move unless its necessary for the fight...

gonna have to start tankign nude or something to keep things interesting...

The warrior taunt already had it's range extended. It used to be 5 yards, now it's somewhere around 20 I think. Pushing it up to 30 is only a small increase compared to the 5 yard -> 20ish yard.

Pally taunt has always had a longer range, as well as up to what, 3 targets?

Pally's are essentially getting a second taunt? /rolleyes, what's next? Pursuit of Justice also adds gives charge and intervene?

Meh who needs a taunt to pull as a pally when you have these on your gloves.

I don't get it. Isn't that a good thing?

ive found that using taunt is a waste of time unless fighting a boss that occasionally drops aggro and runs off to someone else. then ill use it. otherwise ill never use it.

[Smahs]

A 30 range taunt does make sense to me. Why would you have to be facing the target to taunt him? I taunt people from thousands of miles away through the internetz :)

You don't run many 5-mans with normal groups do you? Especially fights like Utgarde Pinacle gauntlet. Vigilance is a godsend there especially when you are constantly getting rooted with no pally in the group. Taunt Taunt Taunt Taunt, TC, win!
