Disclaimer: not in beta, not under NDA, yada yada. Even if you are in beta, this info is in the public domain as it was pulled from the Live spell file. It'll appear on Lucy soon enough.
So, with Beta going for a week so far, what has happened? Pretty much nothing. The only change - and it's a good one, to be fair - is to Pack:
[26286/14331] Pack of Wurt Rk. II
Classes: SHM/90
Mana: 1
Target: Self
Beneficial: Blockable
Casting: 2s, Recast: 1.5s
Duration: 00:20:30 (205 ticks), Extend: Yes
1: Cast on Spell Use: [Spell 26289] Chance: 20%
2: Limit Type: Detrimental
3: Limit Effect: Current HP
5: Limit Min Level: 80
6: Limit Type: Exclude Procs
7: Limit Max Level: 90 (lose 0% per level)
8: Limit Min Mana Cost: 10
Pack of Wurt (upgrade to Aina) has been massively changed. It now only affects nukes and DoTs from level 80 to 90 (Aina is all up to L100, subject to a min cost of 10 mana). The big news though is that it now doesn't drain any mana every tick.
The proc itself now costs 270 mana, which is (IMO) a much more satisfactory outcome. I'm seldom LOM on grouping, so this will make a nice little DPS booster. If you're unable to cast any nukes etc for a while (maybe you're having to spamheal for a bit) then you won't lose any mana at all. What a result!
[26289] Call the Pack II
Mana: 270
Target: Single
Range: 200
Resist: Unresistable
Casting: 0s
1: Summon Pet: shaman_wolf_82_Rk2 x 3 for 10s
That change means I'll be using it pretty much constantly in groups (languid bite is handy for gauranteed DPS, but it's not up all the time).
