[WotLK] Bloodlust/Heroism change - no more round robin

Have a look at this blue thread

"Finally, we have modified Heroism and Bloodlust to affect the entire raid. However, all affected raid members will be unable to cast or benefit from Bloodlust/Heroism for 5 minutes. "

well that just sucks.

Was looking forward to being huge for every pull.

If I read that correctly, a lot of cool things we do multiboxing go Poof. Like stacking totem of wraths for shamans, multiple Ferocious Inspirations on BM hunter teams, etc etc etc...

There goes all shadow priest and warlock synergy - shadow weaving only buffs self, misery changed to +3% hit pve nonsense. As far as I can tell, might as well go with 4-5 warlocks unless you want a dispeler or healer.

Also, this means Purge/Dispell > Heroism in Arenas... just have to get rid of it once now, unless the match runs longer than 5 minutes...

A couple of other changes to Shams:

Elemental Oath: Grants 5% spell crital strike to raid members - thats a buff.

Totem of Wrath: Now grants a flat amount of spell damage, and all enemies in its radius have an increased chance of being struck by criticals - hmm thats a nerf. Previously it was 6% of spell dam, which meant it scaled. And now enemies have to be within rangeto get the crit debuff...

Not good changes IMO.

*cries at his 8 Shaman*

Obviously, Blizzard knew my Shaman team just hit 60 and was on track to ding 70 just in time for the WotLK content patch. *sigh* I hadn't heard about the no-stacking FI, either, which really sucks for my hunters. I hope pet buffs will offset this, but Shamans are really taking a beating with all these changes.

Any bets on what the best-stacking DPS class will be in WotLK ?
