Yep. Similar values to the maces seen in terms of form-only AP.

I took a quick look at the patch notes, didnt i read earlyer somewere that the CD of howling blast (DK's) would also be removed?

Grats druids on finally being able to use a greater variety of weapons, however, I still don't think Sulfuras is a druid weapon!!

Yeah, Howling Blast cooldown is being removed.

EU rolling restarts....now that is a slap in the face, most high-pop servers are about to collapse and we get rolling restarts...

[Chrono]

Clearly solves all problems

Though it did work once for Frostmane, had been down/unstable a whole day(Just pre-WOTLK) until blizzard finally decided to try restarting it and BAM working just fine <.<

WoR guys you could make your next interactive poll thingermejigger on what guides people would like to see, thatd be a nice easy way? if not forgive my ignorance.

Just as a note the Druid feral attack power changes affect all weapons a druid can use including daggers, one-handed maces, and fist weapons.

Granted none of those will come close to competing with two-handed weapons since there are still no feral offhands, but it does mean that a caster druid could pop into form and not suck as bad as before.

Here is a pic of some tooltips I grabbed from PTR a while back:

Hi,

Does anyone know if the weapon change for druids is going to affect any of the bind to account items?

My druid alt could use a good feral weapon to lvl and besides Exceptional Stormshroud Shoulders I don't know what else I could send .

Mm, apparently no patch. Maybe you shouldn't be doing wild guesses here. Isn't the PTR still up with 3.0.8 there?

[Maldivia]

All weapons with a dps over 55, including heirlooms, have feral attack power, no matter if the weapon is usable to the druid or not, but the stat is only visible to druids.

Example with an heirloom item, here the dagger called Balanced Heartseeker:
level 60, 53 dps: 0 FAP
level 65, 60 dps: 70 FAP
level 70, 95 dps: 563 FAP
level 75: 106 dps: 717 FAP
level 80, 120 dps: 913 FAP

Thanks, I'll absolutely take your feedback into consideration in the future!

mhhh what i was wondering... now that maces,polearms are useable for druids,what will blizzard do with feral weapons? will they be switched too? so others can use them? will in the new content no more of them? and what if? i mean...as point of a guild or raidleader...why should i even give a mace with strength to a feral druid if i can give it to my ololol-heroclass dk,and later maybe a staff drops that only that feral can use?

I mean its the same thing with spirit rings for warlocks...of course in a rnd raid its pretty cool that everyone can dice...but in a dkp raid? i mean he gets about 5-6 spellpower out of it... compared to the reg/sp of priests/druird....sounds nice but dont works the way blizz hopes i think
