Druids

* Ferocious Bite: This ability now only uses up to 30 energy in addition to its base cost.

I personally love this, as a leveling feral Druid the only thing I ever seem to be really lacking the energy for is FB. And since I took the talent that gives me an extra 50% crit for FB, I'm a happy boy.

Edit: Looks like I read it too fast and misunderstood it. Helps in no real way for me, is it much of a DPS decrease for anyone?

I'd say it's positive and negative at the same time. People who liked to wait until their Energy bar was full before going for a 5-CP crit FB will be sad now, and I guess it's a way to lower our "burst DPS" in PvP. I personally don't care much, cause being completely out of Energy after a FB kinda annoyed me. I'd prefer if they added some different modifier, based on AP or something, rather than drain precious Energy.

I hate this and definitely see this as a nerf. Ferocious bite is a mega reason ferals have become so viable in PVP. Avg. crits around 7k and maxes around 11k was incredible. This is now gone. Moonkin, here i come.

It's a mild PvP nerf now...but in 3-4 months when people have enough resil to start pushing off crits again and lower their damage(or they change it again), it won't be.

It'll be a good way to get a decent mini burst and still be able to start building combo points back up immediately.
