new beta build incoming

[The Insect Man]

New stuff for next Beta build, cribbed from MMO Champion - pet stuff at the end. Sorted carrion bird, buffed burrow (! seriously?) etc.

Beast Mastery
Widow Venom now reduces healing by 10%, down from 25%.
Kill Command now deals 43% of Ranged AP + 848 damage. Up from 35% of RAP + 772 damage.

Marksmanship
Steady Shot now scales from 2.1% of Ranged AP, down from 10 of Ranged AP.
Chimera Shot now deals 28.8% of Ranged AP + 973 damage. Up from 24% of Ranged AP + 401.

Survival
Explosive Shot now scales from 22% of Ranged Attack Power, up from 18%.
Black Arrow doesn't seem to scale from Ranged Attack Power anymore, or maybe Blizzard just removed the scaling value from the tooltip.

Pets
Demoralizing Screech (Carrion Bird) no longer deals damage or reduces the attack power of enemies in range. Now reduces the physical damage caused by all enemies within 8 yards by 10% for 10 sec. No longer has a focus cost.
Froststorm Breath base damage reduced from 244 to 41.
Monstrous Bite now reduces healing by 10%, down from 25%.
Burrow Attack now scales from 76.8% of Ranged AP and deals 1432 damage, up from 9.6% RAP + 257.

Widow Venom now reduces healing by 10%, down from 25%.

OKAY. Before anyone else panics, I looked at the other class mortal strikes and ALL MORTAL STRIKE ABILITIES WERE NERFED TO 10%, NOT JUST OURS.

The Demo Screech thing just brings it in line with the bear ability; ap reduction = physical reduction. Beyond the removal of the damage component, it's mainly a tooltip change.

[The Insect Man]

and nice to have an alternative to bears for that one. Not a fan of bears.

[Kalliope]

Well, to each their own on that. But yes, in a group setting where your pet isn't tanking, it's kinda nice.

Burrow Attack now scales from 76.8% of Ranged AP and deals 1432 damage, up from 9.6% RAP + 257.

Am I reading that right? O.o


Also--I'm actually rather sad to see the bear change. I tank lots of old content with my bear, and I figure that the amount of AP reduced is actually much larger than 10%. I guess it'll still be doable, though.

Been tanking heroics with him, in any case, so it can't be that bad

Froststorm Breath base damage reduced from 244 to 41.
Burrow Attack now scales from 76.8% of Ranged AP and deals 1432 damage, up from 9.6% RAP + 257.

Wait, so Froststorm Breath is going to be a limp noodle attack now (244 to 41?), and Burrow Attack is getting buffed by 67%? Dang.
