Patch 4.0.6 is nearly upon us–and I’m still trying to wrap my head around exactly what the deal is with one significant change that is happening with druids.
Shapeshifts: Entering or leaving a shapeshift no longer cancels root effects. It continues to cancel movement slowing effects.
Right. So–let me get this straight–a druid “move” that has been in the game since–I dunno–forever is now suddenly being taken away. What for? Are druid cats shredding up arena? Are the new non-trees shifting away from their pursuers to heal the entire BG and swing the tide in their favor?
I’m kind of at a loss to even discuss this change in light of some of the others. At first blush it seems to me to be a bit more of the homogenization of classes. More to the heart of the matter for me–is that it is taking away an extremely unique part of the class I love.
