Q u o t e: # The bonus damage from spell power on the Druid ability Thorns has been reduced by half.
# The bonus damage from spell power on the Paladin ability Retribution Aura has been reduced by half. The threat generated by that damage has been doubled per point of damage to keep the threat generation about equal to before.

Blizzard is obviously making prot paladins more worthwhile at the expense of bear druids. Now how else will bears hold aggro if their thorns generate half the aggro?
The unrefined genius is something to be feared, not to do your homework.

Both Thorns and Ret Aura scale with spellpower, which is not in abundance on tanks. On the other hand, on level 80 classes with spell power they could hit an attacker for 1000 or more damage per hit of just passive damage that doesn't even requrie a button press. That's pretty generous.

To clarify: Thorns and Ret Aura scale with the Spell Power of the person who is hit (who has the buff themself)? As in, a Feral Druid with 0 Spell Power casts it on a Mage who has loads of SP, and the Mage-thorns hits for over a 1000, whereas the Feral-Druid-thorns hits for less (oh, say, 300)? I'm not criticizing, just wondering about the mechanics.
It doesn't think. It doesn't feel. It doesn't laugh or cry. All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die.
