We’re pulling back on this buff specifically for Balance Druid only, so that their survivability is more in line with everyone else.

Endgame tuning adjustments have been made to Heroic Scenarios, Heroic Dungeons, and Normal Raids so that they increase in power more slowly between levels 60 and 70. Heroic and Mythic raids have been adjusted so there is a smoother transition between them.
Players who completed the Pearlfin Jinyu questline can now bring Lesser Charms of Good Fortune to Elder Lusshan for additional reputation.
Players who completed the Forest Hozen questline can now bring Lesser Charms of Good Fortune to Chief Kah Kah for additional reputation.

Arcanist’s Edge absorb amount (that can be converted into damage) has been doubled.
Fervor health amounts (that can be converted into damage) has been doubled.
Righteous Frenzy damage dealt to targets increased to 2% per second (was 1%).
Developers’ notes: This should give healers a bit more to do while optimizing their group’s damage, and it should make some gem combinations even more interesting.
Searing Light collected healing points increased to 10% (was 7%).
Slay cannot critically strike.
Developers’ notes: Slay still hits for the player’s entire health amount, and will remain an incredibly powerful option.
Ward of Salvation no longer applies a heal absorb. It has been reworked so that the caster’s heals are duplicated as an absorb shield, but not other sources of healing.
Developers’ notes: Ward of Salvation will remain a powerful way for healers to deliver some additional damage, but should not trivialize the most difficult raid encounters.

WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria
We have made the following changes to improve Thread of Time gain for the Cloak of Infinite Potential. Our goal with these additional items is to give players access to more Threads of Time from daily repeatable sources. These should serve as readily attainable power-ups from a wide variety of content, so players can enjoy the breadth of Pandaria while also gaining additional power. There are four new items that grant players escalating amounts of power for the Cloak of Infinite Potential:
Minor Spool of Eternal Thread
Lesser Spool of Eternal Thread
Spool of Eternal Thread
Greater Spool of Eternal Thread
Players will be able to find these new items from a variety of solo and group sources, ensuring all players have accessible ways to improve their cloak:
Infinite Bazaar Repeatable Dailies
First-Time Daily Scenario, Dungeon, and each LFR queue
World Bosses
Remix Achievements
Each of these achievements are available for additional characters to complete as well for bonus Bronze – and now bonus Spools of Eternal Thread.
Troves of the Thunder King scenario on the Isle of Thunder
We’ve made the following changes and bugfixes are intended to address concerns about the balance of low- and high-level players in various Remix content.
The health of creatures in heroic scenarios has been decreased by 20% – 25%, based on the players’ levels. Higher level players will see enemies incur a larger decrease.
The health and damage of creatures on the Timeless Isle, Isle of Giants, and Isle of Thunder has been reduced.
Several spell gems (that were not scaling up or down correctly based on player level) have been adjusted so that they provide a more-appropriate scaling effect. This includes Cold Front, Windweaver, Vampiric Aura, and Lightning Rod.
Spell gems with shielding effects should no longer cause threat.
Fixed a bug with Righteous Frenzy not canceling upon the end of combat.
Timerunner’s Vial mana regen significantly increased.
Adjusted the reputation granted from Granite Quilen to be more in line with expected values.

WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria

Fixed an issue with the spawning of Voress’thalik which prevented the completion of “Devastation Below”.
Fixed an issue preventing players from learning Amber Pterrordax.
Fixed a bug causing Gulp Frogs to unintentionally drop Lesser Charms of Good Fortune.
Enemy power scaling, particularly in group content, has been adjusted to be less aggressive. This is particularly applicable in the player level 40 – 70 range, before players have been able to power up their cloak, upgrade their gems, and increase their item level.
Gear drop-rates have been improved from world rares, rare elites, and quests. This will help players who have had their item levels fall behind as leveling speed increases, especially at higher levels when cloak bonus experience is powered up.
Developers’ notes: This will also increase player Bronze and appearance acquisition by increasing the number of items to place into the Unraveling Sands for additional Bronze.
The first-time bonus for queueing each LFR wing will grant a Thread of Experience in addition to the existing Lesser Bronze Cache.
Developers’ notes: This should improve LFR as a viable choice for leveling main characters and alts, without players feeling like they need to grind the same LFR wing repeatedly.
We have added bonus experience to each boss in normal dungeons and scenarios so they are a viable alternative to questing. Bonus experience has also been adding to the last boss of Heroic Scenarios. Heroic dungeon bosses will continue to drop bonus experience.
We’ve increased the number of prismatic gems dropped from bosses in normal and heroic scenarios and dungeons.
Developers’ notes: The increased stamina offered by Legendary Prismatic gems boosts player survivability considerably.
We have increased the Bronze granted from all qualities of Bronze Caches by 25%.
Developers’ notes: These caches are available from a wide variety of sources, both solo and group. This includes the Minor Bronze Cache, Lesser Bronze Cache, Bronze Cache, and Greater Bronze Cache.

Protection
Developers’ notes: Our goal for these changes is to reduce Protection Warrior deaths to the dangers that are most likely to kill them, like burst or magic damage. There are some talents that warriors have for protection against these threats, like Disrupting Shout, Bolster, or Battle-Scarred Veteran, but it can be difficult to find the talent points for them. To provide more build flexibility we are reducing the power of the Battering Ram talent and moving its damage and defensive benefits into core abilities. We’re also increasing damage across the board and buffing some defensive talent options.

Thoughtsteal no longer causes the casting Priest to learn a spell they already know (example: a Shadow Priest stealing Vampiric Touch from another Shadow Priest). The target of the Thoughtsteal still loses access to the stolen ability.
Developers’ notes: These changes resolve an issue where Priests could lose access to existing abilities after casting Thoughtsteal.
Quests
Verdisa did not realize she was sitting on an important location for the quest “Forget Her Not” and has moved a few feet away.
WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria
On Friday, May 24, the following changes were deployed:
There are now three new quests that grant Bronze to player-characters upon reaching levels 50, 60, and 70.
The new quests are only available to player-characters who did not kill many Gulp Frogs during the first three days of the event.
Player-characters who killed many Gulp Frogs during the first days of the event have been modified. The power of their Cloak of Infinite Potential was reduced to an amount that a very engaged player could reasonably achieve.

Shaman
Restoration
Resolved an issue causing the Restoration Shaman Season 4 two-piece class set bonus to be cancelled when a Healing Stream Totem expires while two or more Healing Stream Totems are active.
Warlock
Affliction
Resolved an issue causing Drain Life to sometimes incorrectly consume mana while Soul Rot is active.
Warrior
Protection
Battle-Scarred Veteran has been updated. Now, when a damage event reduces your health below 30%, the portion of that damage event that would apply to the last 30% of your health is also reduced by 80%.
Developers’ notes: For example, if you are at 50% health and receive damage for 40% of your health, your damage taken will be 20% + 20% * (1-0.8), or 24%, and you will have 26% health remaining when Battle-Scarred Veteran activates.

WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria
Endgame tuning adjustments have been made to Heroic Scenarios, Heroic Dungeons, and Normal Raids so that they increase in power more slowly between levels 60 and 70. Heroic and Mythic raids have been adjusted so there is a smoother transition between them.
Players who completed the Pearlfin Jinyu questline can now bring Lesser Charms of Good Fortune to Elder Lusshan for additional reputation.
Players who completed the Forest Hozen questline can now bring Lesser Charms of Good Fortune to Chief Kah Kah for additional reputation.
Fixed a bug that inadvertently capped the maximum stats that can be gained on a Cloak of Infinite Potential. That cap has been removed.
Shado Pan Assault reputation earned per boss kill increased to 1000 (was 300). This amount is available daily.
Elder Great Turtles and Ancient Spineclaws have migrated back to the Timeless Shore, which should benefit players who are just Killing Time.
Illusion: Sha Corruption can now be destroyed by players who have already learned it elsewhere.
Adjusted and tuned several gem effects:
Arcanist’s Edge absorb amount (that can be converted into damage) has been doubled.
Fervor health amounts (that can be converted into damage) has been doubled.
Righteous Frenzy damage dealt to targets increased to 2% per second (was 1%).
Developers’ notes: This should give healers a bit more to do while optimizing their group’s damage, and it should make some gem combinations even more interesting.
Searing Light collected healing points increased to 10% (was 7%).
Slay cannot critically strike.
Developers’ notes: Slay still hits for the player’s entire health amount, and will remain an incredibly powerful option.
Ward of Salvation no longer applies a heal absorb. It has been reworked so that the caster’s heals are duplicated as an absorb shield, but not other sources of healing.
Developers’ notes: Ward of Salvation will remain a powerful way for healers to deliver some additional damage, but should not trivialize the most difficult raid encounters.

Developers’ notes: We recently removed the PvP nerf for Frenzied Regeneration primarily to help Feral Druids, but Balance Druids got a windfall and became a little too powerful with this change.
