What changed
- 1.60.1.70291
Crits against players count in full again: the October 8 build fixed the bug that halved their bonus from about September 25.
Warriors and Druids get more Rage from the hits they take: Stamina gear no longer lowers it, crits and crushing blows count in full and absorbed damage still counts. Bears now have a 50% threat bonus (was 30%) and get 100% more Rage from crits (was 75%).
Penance was toned down, it paid out like a 3 sec channel instead of 2 sec. Thorns and Retribution Aura are back to their Classic base damage with 6% of spell power, Paladin tanks no longer make threat when Improved Seal of Fury or Shield Specialization gives Mana back, Entrapment roots only when a Frost Trap first goes off and Impact no longer stuns from Flamestrike's burn.
The low ranks of Wrath, Frostbolt, Fireball, Arcane Missiles, Smite, Lesser Heal, Heal, Lightning Bolt and Shadow Bolt were evened out, so every new rank is an upgrade. No tier moves until these changes are tested.
