A few feral druid questions

#0 - Nov. 23, 2008, 3:35 p.m.

Just had a few quick feral druid questions:

- Are there plans to make Savage Roar persist through shapeshifting, but only affect cat form? This is mainly a PvP issue, but certainly has application in PvE as well, should we need to off tank for 3-5 seconds, battle res, off heal, feral charge, bash, etc. Though I'd mainly like to see this for PvP, since it'd be too risky to use SR if shapeshifting kills it, and it's a huge part of what makes feral druid DPS scale correctly. Ghostcrawler hinted that it'd be reasonable to give it the "dash treatment"... any more thoughts on this line?

- The new feral mana talent: This was presented to us on the beta forums a few weeks back, but we haven't heard anything about it since. Will it drop with the other feral talents in an upcoming patch? Can we find out which talent will get it?

Thanks!

Yes, we are making this change.

It will probably be something like Primal Tenacity reducing the cost of Bear Form, Cat Form, and Dire Bear Form by 17/33/50% in addition to its current effects.
