Phaelia 15% Speed Bonus (Not) Restored

Edit: Apparently, Boubouille was mistaken. I can’t imagine that this was an April Fool’s Day joke as it isn’t funny, so I think we have to assume it was a case of unfortunate misinformation.


Boubouille of MMO Champion is reporting that the 4-piece set bonus that grants an additional 15% speed bonus while in Travel, Cat, and Bear Forms has been restored to the [Gladiator's Refuge] (Arena epics) and added to the [Kodohide Battlegear] set (reputation-purchasable set). If true, this is great news for Restoration-based PvP and probably points to a much greater decrease in 2v2/3v3 performance by Druids than Blizzard was anticipating or intending.

Perhaps less fortunately, the Balance Wyrmhide sets have had their set bonus reverted to the speed increase, as well. I say “less fortunately” because many Boomkin were excited for the recent change to a more offensively-based set bonus. Sorry, guys! :-(

    You might wanna add that this does in fact go to Balance aswell.
    I’m not too sure about that, did Balance get better off with that pretty insane 1.5sec cast Starfire bonus or was this revert better? I have no idea myself, but I can imagine that some will miss that bonus.

    I was really happy when I first read this… now I’m really sad.

    I, too, am a sad tree and really hope that this wasn’t part of some April Fool’s joke. >.<

Hey, Stormwalker! Great to hear from you! Our little sprout is growing fast, but don’t call him “little” when he’s around or he’s sure to tell you “I a little bit big!” :-)

Stormwalker
I…I…kinda miss you and your Druidic writings of old. Good to see you’re still around, busy with RL. The little sproutling looks a little bigger now! Regards, Stormwalker, of old.

Over two years later and this is still relevant and so very helpful. I hope you are having a blast with your little sprout, who’s probably running all over the place now. =D

Hi, Too bad this blog is no longer maimtained. Thanks for you post though. I wanted to address the issue of lefties. I am on, and use the N52TE. I use a trackball with my right hand and the n52TE with my left, no problems.
