Phaelia Change to Natural Perfection Reverted

Resto Druids rejoice! Today’s patch notes for Patch 2.4.2 do not include the proposed change to Natural Perfection which would have singled it out as the only critical-strike mitigating talent to have diminishing returns as Resilience increases. A big thank you to reader Joshua for pointing this out this morning!

In another surprise, Feral Druids will be relieved to know that, while Scare Beast has had its range extended to 30 yards, it will retain its 1.5 second cast time. Thanks to reader Jaegor for pointing this out below!

    They probably realized their blatant view on statistics couldn’t justify nerfing this ability for Druids alone while other classes with the exact same mechanic weren’t. Surprised they realized it though, they aren’t exactly the guardians of morale (note: Scare Beast and Ferals)

    FYI, Scare Beast had its range buffed to 30yds, but maintains its 1.5s cast time.

    See the 2.4.2 patchnotes here:
    http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/patchnotes/

    This was confirmed by both Eyonix and Nethaera on the forums to be an intentional change. There is no intention of making Scare Beast an instant cast on Live Servers.

    Given the scope of players as well as the time frames, can you come up with a better method of determining changes or game dynamics?

    @Sorayn: Are you asking me a question or is that hypothetical? I personally find it odd to try out a change on the PTR, rollback a portion of it, then release it to live without retesting. I can only assume they retested it internally, at the least.

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.
