* Each rank of "Improved Fireball" now reduces your spell damage coefficient by 2%.
* Each rank of "Improved Frostbolt" now reduces your spell damage coefficient by 2%.


This basically means that if you have full imp frost/fireball you get a 10% nerf of +dmggear on those spells. I find this quite unfair compared to for example warlocks who doesn't get this "nerf".

* "Counterspell" no longer triggers the global cooldown.


To quote Tseric: "Cooldown on GDC was a philosophy decision. They decided to agree with you. Wink "

Quote:
* "Mana Shield" now absorbs magical damage as well as physical damage.


I'll quote Tseric again: "Mana shield. You guys have been asking for caster defense in PvP for a while, right? Well, there is something to that effect."

Oh btw: Nerf to hunters and priests -- overall good changes, mostly pvp tho. You can read the whole list here:

You forget one thing: Rock crushes scissors. But paper covers rock... and scissors cuts paper...
Kiff, we have a conundrum. Search them for paper... and bring me a rock.

Yes, seeing as the warlock dot coefficient nerf was applied to priests too... oh wait

edit: just saw that they nerfed the dmg coefficient on swp by 9%.. well, 9% on one spell < 30% on two (plus minor nerfs in others) so I stand by my previous argument Razz


ps: Wanna borrow my lake of tears?
