Now that Firelands has been hit with a nerfbat, are you happy with the nerfs? Has it helped your guild progress? Do you find it too easy now?

Latest on Mon, 10:14 amSunfyre: Not really, but treants get worse.
Jim: Hey Sunfyre. I get the legendary Meta soon. Does anything Major change when i get to gem? Statweights, Playstyle. thx
Sunfyre: When you hit 0 energy, in 5.1, you'd go to 20 energy. + 40 energy from one cast to 60 energy, + 40 energy from cast #2, that's 100 energy. Now you go from 0 energy to 40 energy. Cast #1 brings you to 80. Cast #2 is still required, and it brings you to 100 energy (which is really 120 but you get nothing for that extra energy). The amount of casts did not change. 2.
gore: 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.
S: 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 ??
Madnz: Hi sunfyre, how would you say the 4p t15 will be with SoTF? Does that also maybe make mastery more valuable?
Sunfyre: You already go 20-Lunar, 60, 100. Going 40-80-100(120) is the same amount of casts to hit 100.
Cohumulone: 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?
Braeden: 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?
Sunfyre: SoTF wasn't much of a buff. It didn't reduce starfire casts to lunar, and only reduced wrath casts by potentially one. I'd stick with incarnation.

The nerfs were a bit drastic
I only had time to get in on one extra fight this week, but we went from a decent amount of trouble on Heroic Alysrazor to 2shotting her.. I’m not going to be knocking down Heroic Rag anytime soon, but everything else feels kind of lax now. Oh well, I’ll just have to try to farm a full set of 391 leading into the DW raid.

As I get older, i realize that I want to spend less time wiping on content and more time experiencing different encounters. I found most normal mode encounters quite easy, with the exclusion of Ragnaros. Others didnt and the change allows people the chance to see all the content. I dont believe they should nerfed Heroic as much.
