Slight nerf I guess to Mut again. :/
Combat changes are at least subtle enough to not overpower Mut atm like live, but does this mean that they're planning on keeping the poison scaling as is? Thought that was the major issue really. Thinking something like this as a raiding combat spec. Edit: Just noticed that they've got the prep glyph backwards, new change is ew. /edit, and...nerf to Garrote's glyph? ohnoes.
