Knew the shaman MS wouldnt last. We need it desperatly, but too many people whine about it. On the totem its OP but for just the shaman isnt not bad at all. People whined about wound poison and aimed shot in the beginning but now they're accepted.
I doubt it'd be removed from the spell description and not removed from the spell. Havnt been in to test though.
Warlocks the biggest whiners? No they're not, on the PTR forum there was a Lifetap thread with over 140 pages with good feedback.
The thing is yeah, I'm a Warlock myself and even though I will not like getting nerfed, I do see that we need one. But changing our core ability (Lifetap) to be dependant on Intellect instead of Stamina while our whole class is balanced around the Stamina stat (+stamina talents, more stamina than intellect on ALL (PvP and PvE) items), makes it a bad change.
Because with this change PvE Warlocks will get more benefit from Intellect than Stamina, but we have tier 6 items which are like 50~ stamina 30~ intellect. Should be the other way around with that change, but that would make it a really big class overhaul, you'd change the basics of a Warlock.
I am guessing they just removed the MS debuff in this build since it was bugged (increasing healing done) and they still plan on bringing it back once they fix it.
