    ATTN WOW WOTLK MEHNZ

    So, who has been following the beta changes? What are you excited about for your class? As a huntard, I love the Viper Aspect changes (more like evocate but with reduced damage shots), should make mana management much more bearable, whereas now it sucks for us. Dropping the cast time on Steady Shot is amazing too, it's the way it should be - GCD swing timers on all standard shots.

    Pet talents look really cool too, though I'm worried raid pets will be fragile since they have to go for all dps talents with no room for tank ones. Be fun getting a turtle to off tank 5 mans though. Bear tanking (my alt) sounds great too - chug pots, bark skin, Frenzy and no more crushings means we can MT raids!
