Druid Heal!

We heard some stuff about Cataclysm at Blizzcon. Now Blizzard has started to give us some more information about the changes on gear! A short round up for restoration druids:

1. Spellpower and MP5 will be gone. Instead we will need Intellect and Spirit (no real change there, but mana regeneration (management) will matter more in Cataclysm!), we will still see haste and crit on gear.
2. A lot more stamina on gear as part of the make healing more challenging program.
3. Spell ranks are gone and spells will scale with level. This is something we already have right now, only you have to buy the ranks at a certain level. Once learned it will scale!
4. It will be harder to cap stats like haste, hit and crit. This will become harder as you progress further into endgame.
5. You can learn mastery talents by spending a certain amount of points in a talent tree. What the mastery will be is still a blizzard sekrit!
6. Reforging: “In Cataclysm, we are going to give players a way to replace stats on gear as part of the existing profession system. As a general rule of thumb, you’ll be able to convert one stat to 50% of another stat. While some conversions (like converting Stamina to Strength) won’t be permitted, the goal is to let you customize your gear more.“

Thats it for now. I am liking the changes, although I hope there will still be a mathy part…..
