Thanks Blizzard...

...For making it easy to decide on what *not* to have for a second team!

From mmo-champion:




Balance

• Solar Beam now affects targets within 5 yards, down from 10 yards.

[Creazil]

Hm, I don't have a druid team, neither I've played a boomkin .. but why does it change so much for you?

Just curious

[Kalros]

I can definitely see the PvP ramifications of this, not so much PvE

[Boylston]

5yds is very, very easy to avoid. A couple steps and you've out ranged the effect.

This change reduces the area of effect by a factor of 4X... It's a bigger nerf than it seems at first.

It's still stupidly overpowered in combination with other druid abilities.

Glyph of Entangling Roots - Reduces the cast time of your entangling roots by 100%.
Talent: Overgrowth - Your Entangling Roots have a 100% chance to root all enemies within 8 yards of the target.

Going to be a bit rough on boxers, but I'm still excited for my druid.

Instant cast roots on a caster, solar beam - can't use immunity abilities while silenced (non-caster excluded of course).
More importantly, a healer could not dispel said roots to get out of the solar beam.

Well, it was obvious boomkins needed a nerf. So i'm far from surprised.

[drevil]

it doesn't matter if 5y or 10y versus a boxer... if you stand together you are toast.

well more and more boxers quitting anyway.

Mosg ment that it's bad for us playing boomkins, since the spell got nerfed. Not that it's bad/good against boxers.

@Alemi:

I didn't realize there was a glyph that reduced the cast time of Root by 100%... That's beyond insane.

Um Boylston, maybe uh I might uh be doing Druids now hmm? Grumble maybe grumble grumble.
