New in Forever

From Blizzard's beta notes 37 notes
  • High ranks of Rejuvenation no longer stop other Druids from putting Rejuvenation on the same target. 15 Oct
  • Faerie Fire can no longer trigger Omen of Clarity in Cat Form, Bear Form or Dire Bear Form, because it costs no resources in those forms. 15 Oct
  • Faerie Fire now generates threat in Bear Form and Dire Bear Form (before it only started combat at 0 threat). 15 Oct
  • Only one Faerie Fire debuff can be on a target at a time. 15 Oct
  • Shred rank 1 is learned at level 20 (was 22), so you can no longer get Shredding Attacks before you know Shred or Lacerate. 15 Oct
  • Heart of the Wild, Feral Swiftness, Thick Hide and Leader of the Pack now apply correctly when you log in. 15 Oct
  • Several Insect Swarms on one target no longer keep lowering its hit chance. 15 Oct
  • Moonkin Aura now only increases Spell Critical Strike chance, and it reaches the whole raid. 15 Oct
  • Leader of the Pack now only increases Melee and Ranged Critical Strike chance, and it reaches the whole raid. 15 Oct
  • Shred's tooltip now shows its flat damage scaled by Savage Fury; this was a display fix only and the damage itself did not change. 15 Oct
  • Furor now lets you keep the Energy you had when you last left Cat Form, even after going into Bear or Dire Bear Form, which still stop Energy regeneration. 15 Oct
Earlier notes (26)
  • Druids in Bear Form gain more Rage from taking damage, after the same Rage calculation fixes as Warriors. 8 Oct
  • Druids can use Mana Potions in Bear, Dire Bear and Cat Form again. 8 Oct
  • Critical strikes now generate 100% more Rage for Druids (was 75%). 8 Oct
  • Thorns deals Vanilla WoW's base damage again and its spell power share drops to 6% (was 13.3%). 8 Oct
  • Cat Form no longer lowers your maximum health. 8 Oct
  • Bear Form and Dire Bear Form now add 50% threat (was 30%). 8 Oct
  • Demoralizing Roar now puts some threat on every target it hits (it generated none). 8 Oct
  • Wrath ranks 1 to 5 were retuned so damage grows evenly up to rank 6 and every new rank is an upgrade. 8 Oct
  • Predatory Instincts is renamed Natural Instinct and also increases spell healing by 12% or 25% of Intellect. 8 Oct
  • Shifting Power can no longer be used at full Energy. 8 Oct
  • Thick Hide now always applies when gear is equipped while shapeshifted. 8 Oct
  • The 1 October build removed the Druid ability Tiger's Fury. 1 Oct
  • Swipe now gains 3% of the Druid's Attack Power; the in-game tooltip will not show it until a later update. 1 Oct
  • All shapeshift forms are immune to Disarm; a Druid disarmed before shifting still deals reduced damage while the disarm lasts. 1 Oct
  • Faerie Fire no longer resets your swing timer. 1 Oct
  • Primal Bite generates roughly twice as much threat. 1 Oct
  • The King of the Jungle talent is removed. 1 Oct
  • New Feral talent Shifting Power, next to Shredding Attacks in the 4th row: in Cat Form it turns 55% of base Mana into 40 Energy on a 16 sec cooldown, and costs the same Mana as Cat Form. 1 Oct
  • New Feral talent Improved Shifting Power (5th row) shortens Shifting Power's cooldown by 4/8 sec. 1 Oct
  • Shredding Attacks (formerly Improved Shred) moves up to row 3, cuts Shred's Energy cost by more and also lowers Lacerate's Rage cost. 30 Sep
  • Wrath base damage raised by about 50%. 24 Sep
  • Thorns now updates with the caster's spell power, and reverts to base values if the caster is missing or far away. 24 Sep
  • Mangle is renamed Primal Bite and loses its debuff; talents that named Mangle now name Primal Bite. 24 Sep
  • The Primal Fury talent goes back to its original name and icon, Blood Frenzy. 24 Sep
  • Feral Charge (Cat) can no longer be cast on allies. 24 Sep
  • Can now land critical hits (fixed in the 24 September build): Rejuvenation, Tranquility and Wild Growth. 24 Sep

What you learn at each level
