Beta Build 15650: More Nerfs
by Sunfyre on Apr.27, 2012, under Mists of Pandaria
Beta Build 15650 is being released, and the following has been nerfed:
- Ursol’s Vortex now has a 60 sec cooldown, up from 30 sec cooldown. Now lasts 10 secs, down from 15 secs.
Moonkin can never have anything pretty.
Still no real changes to our level 60 or 90 talents.
Now that the servers are up, I’ve noticed a few undocumented changes:
- Glyph of Stars ‘spark’ effect has been moved to our feet. It’s not nearly as obvious now.
- There’s no longer charges to Wild Mushroom, but the new placing mechanic exists. It’s much nicer now.

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?

Do you mean we can place shrooms like before, but with the new up to 3 with one hotkey + 3 click mechanism?
I wish they would reintroduce Insect Swarm in a new form. They even made new icon for the spell and it was used in the Stormrage book too, so I want to keep it. It’s so iconic to a balance druids to call creatures to help them. Not the target takes more damage version though, thats a pain in the ass, good for nothing, except for slowing down the target switch.

Yes on the shrooms. Except it’s kinda annoying to hit escape once you drop three.

Hey, i’ve been following you for a while since im a druid lover. I was so looking forward to balance in mists but now I’m not sure. Seems like more hardcasts which definitely won’t be a good thing for pvp. Now a nerf to ursols vortex, an amazing kiting move…am I doomed to play boring feral again?

The new shroom placing mechanism may end up as a more painful way to use it. It happens to me that I only need 1 for a quick slow zone. Or there are 3 on the ground already but I want to replace one. It will add an extra esc button. Instead of making it easier, it will be harder if you place less than full stack. They can make it so if you place all 3, you don’t have to push esc, but it cannot work with 1 or 2. A menu option would be nice to turn it on/off.
