5.0.5 Hotfixes: Symbiosis, more…
by Sunfyre on Oct.02, 2012, under Cataclysm
Hotfixes were released today, and a few small things were fixed. One thing that was substantially nerfed was symbiosis, which no longer grants tanks an additional cooldown.
While this means you’re no longer pigeonholed into giving a tank a cooldown, there’s also very little to no benefit in a PvE environment from symbiosis.
- The area of effect damage from Nature’s Vigil will no longer hit stealthed targets.
- Fixed an issue with Incarnation that could allow flight without using Flight Form.
- Dream of Cenarius now correctly increases the healing from Cenarion Ward by 30% instead of 70%.
- Starsurge casts that trigger an Eclipse now deal the correct amount of damage.
- Symbiosis has been changed, and now grants the following abilities:
- Protection warriors – Stampeding Shout
- Blood death knights – Wild Mushroom: Plague Protection
- Protection paladins – Wrath
- Brewmaster monks – Bear Hug
In my opinion symbiosis has now been relegated to mostly a PvP talent.

Latest on Mon, 08:03 pm: 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.
: 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?
: Hi Sunfyre! Have you tried SotF+NV/HoTW vs Inv+NV/HoTW on PTR? If not, will you do this?
