and a 40-second PvP duration.
* Feral Faerie Fire: The damage generated by this ability in Bear Form and Dire Bear Form has been increased
substantially.
* Innervate: This spell no longer costs mana.

base mana cost of the spell per application of Lifebloom, and the heal effect is multiplied by the
number of applications.
* Maim: This ability is now considered a stun, and shares a diminish category with all other stuns. It no
longer has a chance to break from the target taking damage. Duration lowered to 1 second per combo point.
* Pounce: No longer affected by diminishing returns with other stuns, however, it now shares a diminishing
return with Cheap Shot (Rogue).
* Savage Defense: Trainable at level 40 with Dire Bear Form as a prerequisite. When the Druid deals a
