Hmmm..why the buff to Titan's Grip?

I am curious about the rationale for removing the hit penalty on Titan's Grip. From what I've seen Fury DPS is already very strong (our TG warrior is consistently at the top, which is in line from other top WWS reports I've perused). It just seems odd that the developers never even mention that "we are taking a look at fury DPS" (as they did with Arcane Mages and rogues) and fury gets buffed. This helps me since one of my best raiders is a TG warrior, but still, where's the buff to combat and mutilate? We are clearly the bottom of the damage dealing heap at the moment (absent bugged HAT spec nonsense).

Q u o t e:
Probably because 5% really wasn't that huge of a penalty anyways. They even stated in the past they they felt that if they were going to drop it that low they might as well just remove the hit penalty.

Yes, this is accurate. When TG had a decent penalty, it made players approach the talent differently. A 5% penalty is more of an annoyance really. It doesn't offset the huge bonus granted by TG and just seems pointless.

If Fury's dps is too high, we will address it in other ways.
