I'll have this done as soon as it goes LIVE in the US. It will not touch the current database till then. Will take maybe 30 minutes.

I've seen this on like 4 forums now =<

Please don't post any threads in the announcements forum, moved to the database forum.

[Grunger]

- Shaman Spec DoT spells will now stack with shaman baseline DoT spells.

Simple reversal of 1.38 that ALWAYS pissed me off

- The 20 second timer has been removed from the Direct Damage line of spells in the Shaman's Cave spec line.

This is the way it was when it was first tested and Mythic had a COW because Shaman could now solo oranges. What a load of shit THAT was.

Anyone see a last ditch effort to get people to actually play a Cave shaman?
