I had checked MMO Champion before bed, but I didn't think to look at World of Raids since they're generally pretty synchronized. That is a HUGELY significant nerf (as reported on this morning). Also, I see you're starting a blog! FINALLY! :-) I can't wait to see what you come up with! @BBR: For some reason, I was under the impression that Drain Mana doesn't benefit from spell damage. Is that not so? @Ammeli and Jaegor: Thank you also for clueing me in on the 4-piece set bonus nerf. At the very, very, VERY least ... it's been changed to Regrowth instead of HT. @Yunk: I used to play 3v3s with a Paladin and a Warrior. I always felt a bit of pity for my Paladin friend because he was such a target for mana burns. I mean, if you're going to choose between a Druid who can just turn into a Bear (costing herself some mana in the process but ensuring you are losing yours and not getting enough to make up for it) or a Paladin who is more or less defenseless outside of line of sight -- which doesn't work for stupid Warlock beams -- you're going to go for the Paladin. ^_^ @Zackoria: That is pretty funny, but I guess it kind of makes sense. Of course, it just widens the gap between newly-minted 70s who want to PvP competitively and the seasoned veterans. Maybe that's why they're adding more Reputation-based PvP options.

Add it to resilience and forget about it! I just think its funny when they need to fix somthing in arenas they just tack it on to resilience. There is a problem with pvp or arenas, what do we do?

The official forums is full of people complaining about priests mana burning them. Maybe they'll buff hunters I don't know. Apparently locks are too busy killing us to mana drain us :) I don't know why because it's a long cast time even with talents, very easy to counterspell or silence shot, or silence, or kick, or whatever. Or you know they can just kill the priest before he can cast it more than once. I really don't understand the complaining about it. But then I don't understand all the complaining about CC either. I mean, yeah it sucks, so what. Priest wont change, the buff to locks is specifically because the nerf is for priests, not all mana drain.

It's a hidden Warlock buf and NOTHING else. And heh, giving 0.25 To my Healing touch is like Giving A feral +0.5 duration on tiger's fury. OBJECTION! This is so LOL.
