Patch 2.0.1 on the PTR

Sounds like one of the devs added the ability to use all potions and procs before they were supposed to, and now the rest of the team is just backstroking around it because they found something specific that overpowered the druids.

But, that's why it's in beta/PTR. So we can find the insane damage stuff, and then be sad when it's taken away :(
 
The reason for the anti-procc thingy is that cat druids (even with weapon speed normalization) will typically see proccs about 2x as often as they should... it's cuz apparently we have way too many instant attacks and apparently can also procc off of bleed effect tics. Not good from a balancing standpoint.

The reason why druids don't get weapon proccs in the first place is actually a bug caused by something that you don't really see because it was purposely eliminated from the druid tooltips:

>>>Bear, Dire Bear, Seal, Cat, and possibly Tree of Life forms all lack this line in their tooltips: Causes your weapon to be disarmed<<<

I.e. all feral forms but moonkin are permanently disarmed. A side effect of that is no proccs.


When it comes to consumables, I worry about this "certain" clause. Will we not be able to use some of the potions that Warrior, Pallies, and Rogues can? Or does this simply mean that they have to put in code to prevent Bears and Cats from swigging Mana Potions? IMHO bears and cats should never be able to bandage.... that's just pushing it too far.
 
oh, but it'd be sooo nice to be able to bandage while farming!

It sounds like they could potentially disallow heal potions in shifted forms (maybe just allowing buff potions). On that logic, why would they let them use heal potions? But then why would they let a pally use heal potions... they can tank and cast heals...
