WoW: Upcoming Class Changes Parts 2-32010-02-24The second and third parts of the Upcoming Class Changes articles for World of Warcraft have been published on the official forums. We covered Part 1 earlier in the week and now present the final two chapters in the class change saga.
Part 2:
WARLOCK
# Improved Shadow Bolt - this talent now provides a 5% spell critical strike buff (similar to Improved Scorch).
# Improved Soul Leech - this talent now provides Replenishment (similar to shadow priests)

# Survival of the Fittest has had its bonus armor reduced to compensate for the above increase in damage mitigation.

# We are also looking at increasing the sustained (not burst) damage of feral druids in cat form.
WARRIOR
# Changing stances now has a much reduced cost: you lose a maximum of 20 rage (10 with Tactical...
