Pre-Release AA Commentary

So we get no new class-specific AAs? Just a bunch of upgrades to what we already had, and some new junk that everyone else got too?

Sad :-(

well.. they fixed feral swipe. That makes me much more pleased.

And the Double Attack skill makes me happy in da pants ;p

Upgrade to feral swipe - jagged claws.

Upgrade to warder crits

Upgrade to roar of thunder

Upgrade to warder flurry

*shrugs*

That thing where the pet frenzies when it kills a mob is new also I'd assume?

No idea if it is beastlord specific or how it works really though.

Yeah it's new, but everyone pretty much got a killshot AA of sorts. Ours just happens to be tied to our warder, so I ommited it. Either way we do have some "class" AAs, they are just all under the same tab, similiar to omens.

Interestingly you only have to have bought 1 level of PoS to buy the first level of AoS. Am guessing that wasn't intented.

2 changes that I'm happy with so far also is the change of Spirit of Frenzy and Paragon being an aura. Often times in raids I have to click off buffs, to make room for debuffs and heals. Both of these are now considered auras, so they don't take up a buff slot. The same needs to be done with Beastial Alignment now.

Actually, I think BA has already been moved to the short-duration window. I occasionally like to go AFK in the Guild Hall and pop it for the illusion, since it's not exactly common. When I did this last night, it went to my short-buff box, iirc.

Great, mine did go off a couple times last night, but I failed to notice where the buff icon showed up.
