Druids

* Flight Form: Can now be learned at level 60. Flight speed increased to 150%.
--- Cool
* Innervate: Duration reduced to 10 seconds, and cooldown reduced to 3 minutes. This means each use of Innervate will give half as much mana as before, but it will be available twice as often.
Cool
* Lifebloom: The final heal that occurs when this spell blooms has been reduced by 20% on the base and on the spell power coefficient.
--- Meh
* Mangle: Ranks 4 and 5 base points reduced by about 11%. Scaling from attack power unchanged.
For cat and bear? Not clear and I want to know.
* Rake: Ranks 6 and 7 base points on initial and periodic damage reduced by about 7%. Scaling from attack power unchanged.
--- Nerf
* Rip: Ranks 8 and 9 base points and points per combo point reduced by about 6%. Scaling from attack power unchanged.
--- Nerf
* Savage Defense: The animation for gaining this buff will no longer make the bear stand upright
--- Trivial change
* Shred: Ranks 8 and 9 base points reduced by about 10%. Scaling from attack power unchanged.
--- Nerf
* Swipe (Cat): Percent of weapon damage done reduced from 260% to 250%.
--- Nerf
* Travel Form: Can now be learned at level 16.
--- Cool
* Talents
o Balance
+ Balance of Power: Now reduces all spell damage taken by 3/6%, rather than reducing the chance to be hit by spells by 2/4%.
--- Boomkin explain to me NOW.
+ Eclipse: The Starfire and Wrath buffs from this talent are now on separate 30 second. cooldowns. In addition, it is not possible to have both buffs active simultaneously.
--- Buff I think again, Boomkin clarify NOW.
+ Owlkin Frenzy: Now also restores 2% base mana every 2 seconds for the duration (10 seconds) in addition to its current effects.
--- Cool
o Restoration
+ Empowered Touch: Now also increases the amount of bonus healing effects for Nourish by 10/20%.
--- Cool
+ Improved Barkskin: No longer provides dispel resistance to all effects on the druid, but now reduces the chance your Barkskin is dispelled by an additional 35/70%.
--- Meh

Cat nerf was coming. Hoping the Mangle change isn't for bear as well. Nothing to crazy overall.

Discuss.

From what i believe this means Back to Back eclipse procs, say I spam wrath first to proc lunar then commence starfiring while eclipse is up normally i would continue Starfiring till the cooldown was up since wrath wouldnt proc eclipse till then but now starfire can proc solar eclipse and i would wrath until i procced lunar again with wrath.

The balance of power change is simple 3-6% reduction in damage taken by spells instead of 2-4% less chance to be hit by spells

Just want to say something about the Moonkin change. It can be a huge buff but it also can be a slight buff. I mean, for Boomkins out there used to use Lunar Rotation, they might need to change some of the talents and/or gear, so they wont get oom from casting so many wraths and not so many Starfires.
Also, it will change quite a lot the BiS gear. 4T8 should be BiS without any discussion now. And I *think* crit hate should gain a little bit more of value and haste lose a little bit too (take in consideration the numbers for old Lunar rotation, that is. for old Solar rotation, it should be quite the opposite, with haste gaining a little bit and crit losing a little bit of their value).

Anyway, I think this change is more than welcome. Was getting quite bored with moonkins, since I was always feral and changed to moonkin/resto on Wotlk. I'm missing the "no rotation" feeling from feral.
