Q u o t e:
Elune's Grace (Night Elf Priest Racial) effect changed to reduce chance to be hit by melee and ranged attacks by 20% for 15 seconds. There is now only 1 rank of the spell.

Power Word: Fortitude, Divine Spirit, Prayer of Fortitude and Prayer of Spirit will have their mana costs reduced

Elune's Grace is actually a three way buff:
1. It will count as a miss, not a dodge (e.g. no more overpower)
2. The have increased melee to 20%
3. Ranged have been buffed by between 5%-15% depending on the opponent

The Fort / Spirit thing is VERY welcome ... Odd that they did it in the same patch that they introduce free buffing in Battlegrounds, but whatever, at least it has happened.

All I can say is about damn time on the Fortitude mana thing!

Nerf the sun! I wanted to tell you. ;)

It's Ok though. They do good work on the other side of the "pond".

Here is the information for you all just so it's in a thread here and not a link to the other side of the world. (Not that it's not a nice place there I'm sure.)

Elune's Grace has had its effect changed to reduce the chance to be hit by melee and ranged attacks by 20% for 15 seconds. We've changed it so that there is only one rank of the spell now.

We also changed the mana cost for Power Word: Fortitude, Divine Spirit, Prayer of Fortitude and Prayer of Spirit . The developers took a look at it and thought that the mana costs were just too high for what they should be. Hopefully this will cut down on all the water everyone has been gulping down at raids. ;)

Q u o t e:
Neth,

Do you have any idea how much the mana cost of fort and spirit is being lowered by?

Any word if there will be an increase in the stats they add?

I don't have specific numbers for anyone, unfortunately. Most likely that will come with experience on the Test Realm when it goes up.

Q u o t e:

Is it a waste of time asking you when THAT goes up? :P

Yes. ;)
