Re: PTR 3.3 Updates
It's good to see that they're trying to balance out the different trees, with affliction getting a healthy dose of love in this patch

Can't wait to try out the "new" felhunter when the patch goes live.

I'm still not sure why they can't just leave well enough alone.

I know it's like they need to call it glyph of spell power boost and just make it proc off whatever they want.... it seems a little awkward now

I didn't get the purpose of this either. Why not have LT proc off of Dark Pact routinely? Is there any reason why it's any more of a cost than a level 1 Life Tap, that it should be nerfed?

Can't figure the reason for this change.

The more you try to figure out the devs thoughts about warlocks, the closer your head will be to exploding.

Well, this now totally makes sure that no destro warlock will give away his 2pc T9 bonus, no matter what icecrown will drop :D

Should give destro the few dps back that it lost from conflagrate, and also somewhat improves scaling

See the changes to Priest: (PTR 3.3 Patch Notes)

Priests


Shadow
  • Improved Devouring Plague: This spell now deals 10/20/30% of its total periodic effect instantly, up from 5/10/15%.
  • Mind Flay: The range of this ability has been increased to 30 yards, up from 20.
  • Shadowform: This talent also now causes Devouring Plague, Shadow Word: Pain, and Vampiric Touch to benefit from haste. Both the period length and the duration of these spells will be reduced by haste. In addition, the mana cost has been reduced from 32% to 13% of base mana.
  • Vampiric Embrace: This ability is now provides a 30-minute buff that cannot be dispelled, instead of a target debuff and only generates healing for single-target shadow damage spells.

IF I understood correctly, they will be these spells benefit from haste by a talent. Why will affliction be this by a glyph?
