Frostheim at Warcraft Hunters Union: MMO-C has datamined a host of changes in the newest MoP beta patch, including a bunch of changes that we were expecting based on Blizzard comments. Topping the change list is:
- Black Arrow is back to the current incarnation: 35 focus, instant, 30 second cooldown, no AoE component. Combined with this Serpent Spread is back in the SV arsenal.
- Concussive Shot is back, and the glyph that added the Concussive Shot effect to Arcane Shot has been removed.
- Focus cost on many shots have been reduced (similar to having the effect of the no-longer around Efficiency talent). This includes Chimera and Explosive Shot dropping from 50 to 44 focus, and Arcane Shot dropping from 25 to 22 focus.
- Explosive Shot DoT ticks can once again proc Lock & Load.
- Growl threat has been increased 11%
- Call Beast has been renamed Dire Beast (really, just a day after I do the video?)
- The base damage of many shots has been increased by 12.5%. This includes Wyvern Sting, Chimera Shot, Explosive Shot, Arcane Shot (10%), Explosive Trap, Kill Shot, Steady Shot, Serpent Sting.
- Aimed Shot now uses 160% of weapon damage, up from 90%. Additional damage increased by 100% (doubled).
- Powershot was buffed to deal 400% weapon damage to the target plus 100% weapon damage to all other guys in the line of fire (up from 100% / 25%)
- Go for the Throat: now when your Arcane Shot crits it reduces the focus cost of your pet’s next basic attack by 100%.
- Glyph of Distracting shot makes your Distracting Shot distract the enemies to your pet, instead of you. This is awesome! . . . Read full article
