| This bug wouldn't be as irritating if it wasn't there day 1 of the PTR 1.11 patch. In addition to this, you don't get put into combat when you shift to Bear form, so if you have Furor you almost instantly degenerate 3 of the 10 health the Furor talent gives you, so you can't Bear -> Demo Roar as an example. In addition to this, a lot of times the Rage/Energy Furor gives you doesn't show up immediatly, so you can't Bear -> Bash or Cat -> Claw without a short delay. Are these things gamebreaking? Not really, but they are really frustrating.
On the other hand, coming out of bear form and losing health is bad mojo. No, it can't kill you itself, but in PvP it really hurts. Shifiting to caster to cure a poison or throw Rejuv on yourself can be potentially lethal if you have some DOTs or someone meleeing you and you're low health.
If the reason for the change is to nerf the Rune of Metamorphasis exploit, just change the Rune and put Bear form back. |
