What the hell is this crap?

New Aspect of the Viper in 8926:

"The hunter takes on the aspect of the viper, each ranged attack regenerates a percentage of maximum mana equal to base ranged weapon speed, but reduces your total damage done by 50%. Only one Aspect can be active at a time."

...what? I mean, sure, it obviously favors Marks due to the fact that we like (or did like) slow weapons, but... ugh. This is crap. It's obviously favorative to Beast Mastery since they shoot more often than we do already... This had better be REALLY good.

Thank god it's at least based off of MAXIMUM mana, not BASE mana.

Edit: Apparently preliminary testing (and reading) reveals that it does just what it says - it regenerates a percentage of your max mana equal to your base weapon speed. A 3.00 weapon (like Bristleblitz) will regenerate 3.00% of your mana - Thori'dal, on the other hand, will regenerate 2.70% of your mana.

Yay, YET ANOTHER FUCKING ADJUSTMENT that favors Beast Mastery Hunters. Jesus christ.

yea, it favors bm hunters because weapon speed doesnt clip their shots anymore. but yea, ive been testing it out a little this morning, and it doesnt even regenerate enough mana to do anything more than a 1:1 shot rotation. This change will kill hunters in pve if they dont fix it (reverting it to the live version would be better).
