Ahh finally! The 2.4 Patch is here. Now I'll be honest, I have mixed feeling about this patch. But my main concern is all of the class balance changes that they made in this patch. Probably to get ready for thier big arena tourny. Where to start...

Druids got a bunch of a changes. There was a pretty decent lifebloom nerf, a big cyclone nerf, a couple of bug fixes, a couple of buffs. The only thing that really concerns me with these changes is the cyclone nerf. I understand why they would nerf it for resto/feral druids but can you PLEASE for the love of god look at how it is going to affect the Balance Druid? Balance Druids are already on the very bottom of the totem pole as far as how many people you have playing them. They are still underpowered and you nerf them further. What I don't understand is why they neglected to put any Balance buffs in this patch. It's borderline rediculous how long that tree has gone without some revisions. Nerf those resto's all you want but at least GIVE US SOMETHING!

Hunters really got.. well not much. Some bug fixes and a decent buff to mend pet, which being BM right now I like this change. A change in how the combat log works has resulted in a huge nerf to traps. In short, everyone is going to know when you lay down a trap and what kind of trap it is even if they aren't looking at your animation. This is just stupid. Not to mention that it looks like they have reverted our multishot change back and left warriors with a cleave that doesn't break CC. BAH!

I'm happy to see that Mages got some love! I have always been rooting for Mages to get some buffs, and its finally happened through that last couple of patches. GG!
