That lifetap change is crazy, moreso due to the fact that it's rank 3, not the highest rank (which is 7, according to wowhead class skills) Any word on whether that's the highest rank it goes to now, or what higher ranks look like?

Warriors gonna hate the fact that shammies have a ms now, but why the would they want to make shammies more overpowered in arena's then they already are?????

I may have missed this in an earlier update post, but have they reduced the number of motes to make a primal in 2.4? I was checking the new enchant and noticed that it needed primal earth and that it indicated that that needed only 9 motes to make instead of the current 10.

This is a very strange bug that should hopefully be fixed soon on WOWDB.

I think the insane nerf to their lifetap stopped them already in that area.

I wonder what Blizz thinks Warlocks should want stamina for now in PvE, as high stamina merely makes them harder to heal now, and in PvP they'll be the only class that inflicts more damage on themself than their opponents...

Lame indeed.
