Shaman buff of the year award :O

[Quasi]

While this sounds true in parts, there are a few changes that are completely impossible.

Nurturing Instinct: Increases your healing spells by up to 50/100% of your Agility, and increases healing done to you by 25/50% of your Attack Power.

That would increase an average feral Druid tank's received healing by 1000 per spell at least. Not very realistic.

[Stealthy]

Tremor totem and poison cleanse totem reduced from 5s pulses to 3s pulses

Patch Notes = FAKE

Tremor totem already pulses EVERY 4 SECONDS.



Cheers,

Stealthy

Yeah it was reduced to 4s from 5s in 2.3, right ?

Shaman

• Lightning Bolt: Spell coefficient reduced by $
• Lightning Overload can no longer proc on instant cast spells. (aka NS+CL won't proc it)
• Lightning Overload can no longer critically hit.
• Tremor Totem and Poison Cleansing Totem now pulse every 3 seconds, down from 5.
• Earth Shield mana cost reduced by 50%
• Earth Shield now has 6 charges, down from 10.
• Healing Grace: Now also reduces the chance your spells will be dispelled by 10/20/30%

Totem change good, but means a rank1 moonfire will still kill it, pets will kill it in 1 hit, priests/locks can wand/staff it.
Earthshield changes fucking shit, leave it dont reduce the cost and charges in half, its stupid.
Healing Grave turned from a PVE only talent to a PVP/PVE talent, there goes 3 extra points for pvp healers.
LO not being able to crit is really going to hurt PVE shamans.
Shamans once again being hurt the most.

Theres changes have the official blue changes mixed in right?
Why is there nothing about the hyped Fear Ward buff.

[xum]

I would take those notes with a big grain of salt. For one, they're as "unofficial" as it gets. Two, they could simply be changes that were discussed and looked at via internal testing, and many of those won't even get to the PTR, much less go live.

It wouldn't even surprise me if Blizzard is allowing fake info to be "leaked unofficially" just to keep info sites on their toes and as a reminder that if it isn't direct from Blizzard there is no reason to trust it. It seems as if fake patch notes are all the rage lately.

[Monkofdoom]

Indeed

Upon the expansion of the notes and the details posted along with them changing I'm not very convinced myself any more - Although I expect a few things "might be true" I don't hold much faith in the whole list.
