Not necessarily.
It doesn't say that their healing will be based on a percentage of the damage they deal.
Just that they will be in melee, doing melee damage, as they heal.
The two might be linked... but they might not be.
The AoE loot.. Omggg!! about time! Will make some sweet cash..
To bad they wont squish the items.. the numbers are getting too high (I guess i want back towards the early days..)
Although boxers will have an advantage here, this could also drag the price of cloth down, due to it being more efficient for everyone to loot. I see a lot of people killing for exp and leaving the corpses un-looted now. I'm sure this will be less of an issue now that looting is easier. Also, they might nerf the amounts of items that drop because of this.
Even if this does drive the prices of items on the AH down due to more and more being posted like most endgame items, specifically Enchanting mats now on my realm, I can still make good use of this. I'm always on the look out for good trash farming spots.
If I get cloth/greens in the mix as well, it's just extra gold I can bank. With a vendor readily available (Traveler's Borean Tundra mount on a party member), spots like the Crimson Expanse will be gold mines till they are nerfed. Mow down mobs constantly as they respawn fast, do a quick loot, move on. Hopefully they will widen the loot range tho. I think the current range is 1 yard from your current location. I'd be happy with it extended to 5 yards, but ecstatic we are finally getting this option.
While this is true i still think we will benifit more from this(as stated earlier we kill faster and we dont have to share with anyone), this will also make questing som much less of a pain when you can just bunch upp like 10 guys then just loot once, done.. will be awsome for sure :)
Shaman Level 90 talents were in game! One improves Unleash Elements to provide a better bonus for each imbue type. The second removes the cooldown on your Fire and Earth Elemental Totems and allows you to control them. The third is a blast of elemental energy in a cone on a 15 sec cooldown.
so shaman can get a controllable pet now ?
I am way looking forward to the AE loot thing.. i was just saying it might get adjusted a tad due to the fact that it will take less time for anyone to farm and loot. As i said, we boxers have an advantage for sure. Like farming old cloth to level up tailors will be a breeze 8)
Reading more about the Monk class makes me itch to MB a group of 5 monks. Tank/DPS/Heals! And looks like some pretty decent AE spells/skills.
Will be fascinating... Guess I will be doing another RAF team hahaha (yes, I hate leveling that much!)
