4.2 question
Am I right thinking both druid dps specs are getting major buffs?
Druid (Forums / Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)
Balance
Starfire damage has been increased by 23%.
Wrath damage has been increased by 23%.
Feral
Mangle now deals 540% normal damage plus 302, instead of 530% normal damage plus 315.
Rake initial damage on hit now deals the same damage as each periodic tick (and is treated the same for all combat calculations). Periodic damage now gains 14.7% of attack power per tick, up from 12.6%, and base damage per tick has been lowered from 557 to 56. There is a known issue with Rake's tooltip being incorrect from this change will be corrected in a future patch. (Taken from official notes, tooltip bugged)
Ravage (Cat) now deals 950% damage plus 532, instead of 975% damage plus 330.
Shred now deals 540% damage plus 302, instead of 520% damage plus 330.
Savage Roar now increases autoattack damage done by 80%, up from 50%.
If so, that is new comparing to what I was told before.

Re: 4.2 question
They are indeed getting some major buffs, not sure if they are going live though.

Re: 4.2 question
The starfire+wrath change was done to "balance it out" since they seriously nerfed T11 4-piece, in order to make T12 more attractive. Who the hell knows what it'll actually mean to balance, and how balance is played in 4.2 :D

Re: 4.2 question
Feral getting buffs, and as Inspired said, the balance change was made so that we could actually let go of our current 4-set bonus. The calculated difference in full 372 gear would be 2-4% on single-target fight, and less on multi-target one. Our AoE/multidotting was already nerfed earlier. No major buffs.

Re: 4.2 question
Speaking of feral, the balance was ALL OVER the place in cata (it was godawful when 4.0 hit in wotlk, then they fixed it to a decent level, but seems 85 scaling broke it all again), glad to see some changes. Cats might actually be a good choice as dps players go in 4.2. Now if they'd also bring the challenge back into playing kitten!
