Couple of interesting changes if they're true, slight reduction in CoH CD.

They've added an armour component to Mental Strength, could this be paving the way for a change to Inner Fire?

One of the things I noticed from the Paladin list, which I'm not sure I like is this:

Quote:
• Beacon of Light: Will now transfer 100% of all healing done to the beacon, instead of just effective healing.


Making it even easier for Paladin healers to keep up a tank while healing someone else with a smaller health pool.

Quote:
• Mass Dispel: No longer has a target limit.


Woohoo :P

[Apparently some people aren't aware what "alleged" means, discuss whether you'd be happy with this if they were real and if these changes do seem real to you instead of shooting the messenger]

In my defence the last time Blizzard said some patch notes were fake (for a non-Wrath) patch they were remarkably accurate.

Fake. Disregard. Ignore. Forget.

Too much compared to what's needed/asked for. Highly doubt it's real.

Like I pointed out in the thread on the general forums, I too think they're fake; regardless, I would love to see some of those changes. Namely the Test of Faith, Desperate Prayer, Greater Heal and Penance.
