MoP Beta Build: Exciting Balance Changes
by Sunfyre on Apr.11, 2012, under Mists of Pandaria
MMO-Champion has datamined another set of changes for Mists. Here’s what they’ve found:
- Force of Nature – Duration increased to 60 sec, up from 30.
- Incarnation: Chosen of Elune – No longer doubles Solar and Lunar power generation. Instead increases all Arcane and Nature damage done while Eclipse is active by ?%.
- Rebirth – No longer requires a Maple Seed.
It looks like from this they’re attempting to buff our options to Soul of the Forest. I’m not sure these were the correct ways of doing it, but at least attention is there. The numbers aren’t out yet to really see how decent the changes are, but I’ll try to run numbers as soon as possible.
The change to rebirth means they’re either destroying the Glyph of Unburdened Rebirth or changing it. In a positive note, it means you can be a stag, orca, and astral druid all at the same time!

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?

What’s the cd on the Treants Entangling Roots? That should increased their utility for PvP. How much health does each Treant have compared to you?
The new Incarnation is better, but it should affect damage always, otherwise its only useful if paired with Celestial Alignment.
I still don’t like the direction they’re going with Incarnation. It’s rather flat, boring and uninspired. Its basically just a mastery trinket… Id rather it behave like ToL.
I think they should get rid of the Glyph of Unburdened Rebirth, its just too mandatory for raiding.

The glyph is useless now that the reagent was removed. They either will remove it or (hopefully) morph it into a (balance) druid glyph.

Exciting how, exactly?

They obviously see issues and are trying to resolve them. I may not like the changes they’ve made, but I’ll take changes to no changes, as it means it will probably continue to change in the future.

anyone else noticed how they’ve changed wild mushroom?

What about it?

well i havent been on for a while on the beta since the login server crap have been going on for days >.<, could finally login today and noticed that you can cast wild mushroom three times in a row after clicking the spell once, instead of clicking the spell button three times for each mushroom.
(sorry if my sentences could be weird/confusing, english is not my native language =) )
