Druids in 1.10 patch

[Vargen]

Druids

Healing Touch - Mana cost on all ranks reduced approximately 9%.
Ravage - Can no longer be dodged, parried, or blocked.
Cure Poison - Can no longer be cast while in Moonkin form.
Gift of the Wild - Range and area of effect increased.
Rip - Is now properly considered a Bleed effect.
All shapeshift forms can now use equipped items.
Nature's Swiftness - Now makes Rebirth and Soothe Animal spells instant cast.
Bear Form and Dire Bear Form - It is no longer possible at very low health to die
when shifting out of these forms.
Pounce - This ability will no longer apply its bleed effect when the attack misses or is dodged.
Some creature Mana Drain spells were previously able to mana drain druids in forms that do not display mana. That has been fixed.
Previously, shifting into an animal form granted a one-second immunity to roots and snares. That has been changed to dispelling roots and snares.
A new level 52 druid quest that takes place in Un'Goro crater has been added.

I'm really looking forward to this patch - these are my favourite points, so I hope they all end up in the final version:

* Healing Touch - Mana cost on all ranks reduced approximately 9% - as of now this is our most mana efficient spell, and now it only gets better!  How greate is that

* Gift of the Wild - Range and area of effect increased - don't you always hate those suckers who never manage to be in range when you're trying to buff our party  At least we'll get some more of 'em now!

* A new level 52 druid quest that takes place in Un'Goro crater has been added - this I've been waiting for for ages!  Think it's outrageous that there haven't been a single druid quest since lvl 10-15 :blink:


Hope it's out on Wednesday

Yep, I'll be running for that quest as soon as the patch is out.

Btw, I also noticed another thing coming in the patch:

# Green Whelp Armor no longer affects targets above level 50 and the sleep duration was reduced to 10 seconds.

This I would say is actually a bit sad

In some of those great PvP movies I've seen, the druid going feral has had that green whelp armor, and you see quite often (especially if he is fighting a rogue) that his opponent falls asleep
