Yeah… Darager, seeing as you can’t mount to carry the flag in BGs, Travel form makes Druids some of the best Flag carriers if not the best. So… Its still really useful.

sara: Whoops — I actually meant a better explanation that the other bits and pieces on the blog. :> Your summary was a fine one-sentence version.

@ Mania, “I’m typing up a better explanation right now.” – yeah, I didn’t harbour any illusions that I did your research justice… ;o) I just wanted to encourage her to go check out what you’ve already written. Keep up the excellent work!

Ratrix – yes, growl always had a 5 second cooldown. :-)
My 34 Belf Warlock is trying to decide wether to use his black turkey-in-a-ball-dress or his fiery horse!

NOTE – Did anyone notice that Felsteeds have a weird red wound on their chest? It’s red around the sides and is shaped like an ovel. It has black inside.

Okay! My attempt to explain the Growl change is now available: Patch 2.4.3 - Growl Threat & AP Buffs. I'll be watching that comment thread especially closely, so please post there if you have any questions about the Growl change. Thanks!

darager, Also don’t forget that the act of shapeshifting also dispels polymorph and will free us from movement impairing effects. So, no, travel form still has its uses.

Well, i don’t know if this is normal, i couldnt remember to be honest, but growl has a 5 second CD. Was that always like that?

Only about 3 years late having PvP status drop when zoning into an instance. It would have saved a lot of time and yelling and debate whether it even mattered for many an instance.

I’m typing up a better explanation right now. Just be patient a tad longer. :>

@ Sigrdríifa:

Mania has already written several posts on this on the blog… But basically it comes down to growl scaling with hunter ap (instead of pet ap), which pet ap also scales with. There’s been a lot of debate about whether it’s a nerf or one of those changes that we won’t really feel, but I’m probably not the best to explain that. Just wanted to encourage you to check out Mania’s other posts on the topic. ;o)
