Druid notes in Patch 3.1.3 going live today

As we reported earlier, these are the Druid notes for  Patch 3.1.3 going live during today’s maintenance. Full patch notes can be found here. New Druid forms are not going live today, but in Patch 3.2.

Druids

• Improved Barkskin: This talent now also grants 80/160% additional armor while in Travel Form or not shapeshifted.
• Improved Tree of Life: The armor bonus to Tree of Life Form from this talent has been reduced to 67/133/200% bonus armor.
• Druid Tier 8 Balance Set: The 4-piece bonus no longer has its effect consumed by Starfire casts in progress when it triggers. The chance for the effect to be triggered has been reduced down to 8%, as it was originally inflated to compensate.

For analysis of these changes check out:

• Restokin’s overview of Barkskin and Tree of Life changes.
• Relevart’s DPS increase analysis of the new Balance 4T8 bonus
• Graylo’s analysis of the best raid gear bonuses revised to include new Balance 4T8 bonus
