4.0 Odds & Ends
by Sunfyre on Oct.12, 2010, under Cataclysm
While we’re waiting for 4.0 to become live, here’s some odds and ends that have mostly flown underneath the radar.
- Rebirth is now on a 30-minute cooldown, however warlocks can also now combat rez.
- Faerie Fire is now identical to Sunder Armor, and stacks 3 times. (Faerie Fire lasts 5 minutes, Sunder Armor only lasts 30 seconds, but helps a warrior tank’s threat). I played around with this some on PTR. You can apply sunder armor AND faerie fire to a target. I’m going to assume that the armor debuff actually doesn’t stack and this was merely done to allow protection tanks to build threat when faerie fire is already on the mob.
- Mark of the Wild is identical to Blessing of Kings, and you cannot have both.
Remember these new synergies, they may help you find a group!
Also..
- Like flying mounts, all ground mounts now travel 100% speed if you have the proper skill. That means I can run around on my fluffy [item]Brewfest Ram[/item]!
By the way.. if you’re looking for a moonkin guide, check out Qieth’s guide. Lissanna at Restokin also has a great resource list. As the focus of my blog is end game raiding, I’ve refrained making a basic 4.0.1 moonkin guide, opting to focus more on the finesse and min/max. However, If you DO have more basic questions, feel free to email me, ask via Twitter, or via comment, and I’ll be glad to answer any question, no matter how simple.

Latest on Mon, 10:14 am: Not really, but treants get worse.
: Hey Sunfyre. I get the legendary Meta soon. Does anything Major change when i get to gem? Statweights, Playstyle. thx
: Wait, what you just said doesn't make sense. What makes us go straight to 20 energy? With SotF it takes 2 casts to reach lunar. 2 casts to reach solar. Without SotF it takes 3, correct me if i'm wrong.
: Sorry, I don't understand where your getting the 20 from, 100 80 60 40 20 0 40 80 100 or sotf 100 80 60 40 20 0 (40 sf + 40 sotf) 80 120 ??
: Hi sunfyre, how would you say the 4p t15 will be with SoTF? Does that also maybe make mastery more valuable?
: Hey Sunfyre. I'm trying to wrap my head around what you've been saying about SotF. How exactly does it not reduce Starfire casts by 1?
: Started a Druid....3 days ago or something like that.... Anyways i got to lvl 60 and im not using gear SETS so much as im using the things that look especially helpful such as Int and Spir Stacke, Occasionally with some 14-15 haste involved..... Im not one of those guys who go out and get the best pve/pvp gear But i really need some help..... im a resto balance mix and well my hits are only doing about 5K at lvl 60 :/ what sohuld i do?

Marks and Kings are going to be a pain in dungeons… on the PTR I was always grouped with a pala and he always cleared my mark, no matter how many times I told him… g2l pre-expansion patches…

Awww yeah, finally gonna be able to ride around on all my cute lower level mounts. B)
I also heard that Rebirth shares a cd with all other druids in the raid?

I believe the shared cooldown thing is a rumor. I haven’t seen it on live, and it would be really dumb to do.
