Another thing I noticed from the new spells on MMO is that the new version of Faerie Fire, normal and feral, has the same wording as Sunder Armor now. 3 stacks for 3-4% each.

Faerie Fire
Sunder Armor
Faerie Fire (Feral)

Faerie Fire (Feral)
30 yd range
6 sec cooldown
Instant cast
Requires Dire Bear Form, Bear Form, Cat Form
Decrease the armor of the target by 3 to 4% for 5 min.
While affected, the target cannot stealth or turn invisible.
Stacks up to 3 times. Deals AP*0.15+1 damage and
additional threat when used in Bear Form or Dire Bear Form.

No gear, still alpha and stuff nyi, oh and:

Mastery Bonuses per Talent Point in Balance:

0.157 Spell Damage %
0.157 Spell Haste %
0.236 Eclipse

I do not have any experience with the mechanic. I am simply reading the dataminded information about masteries which states the mechanic only activates when 100 Solar or Lunar power is achieved, indicating that it is both proc based and binary. If I had real alpha face time, I'd be bound by the NDA. As it is, I'm free to foam at the mouth over the slightest things I read.

I would definitely advise that anything read at my blog be taken with a grain of salt as it has almost no verifiable authenticity outside of mmo.

Will be updating it, especially since I can see someone has looked at the new mana costs.
And before you say it, yes I know these are numbers based on Wrath but everything that will change come Cata can be easily edited.

I have not heard or seen anything about what that number indicates. I would find it hard to believe that Wrath and Starfire would generate the same level of power. This would allow Wrath to generate around twice the power per second of Starfire, which would clearly favor one type of Eclipse and swinging the bar towards one extreme only. I realize this isn't the place to speculate on the mechanic, but it seems to me that the number would be logical if looked at as the multiplier that the Eclipse proc will provide to the affected spells damage.

As of now, I don't think we know what the number represents, making everything speculative at best.

I believe the preview stated that the mastery (both the stat and the bonus given by talents in the Balance tree) affected the damage increase given by Eclipse. So it doesn't make sense to look at it as a straight percentage necessarily, as there's at least another component to the equation, but it may be, say, the percentage increase provided by Eclipse at 0 Mastery Rating, or something similar (the numbers listed above are within rounding error for a 12% buff at 51 points).

Mastery increases the damage done by your Wrath and Starfire when you gain Eclipse: http://db.mmo-champion.com/s/77492/m...nce-masteries/

EDIT: Now I'm confused... The screenshot on your blog explains it in the tooltip? What number are you guys talking about?

I find two flaws with this. First, the other two masteries contained a percent sign. This did not. Secondly, you don't know that it will be additive. It could very well be multiplicative (as this would offer more controlled scaling).

Perhaps I phrased it poorly. We know WHAT that mastery does. We don't know how it does it. At least not with any certainty.

I do have one question about EJ's stance on unannounced changes in the Alpha? I've come across Feral changes that took place in the Alpha release that was released yesterday, and I was not sure if I was allowed to post those changes or not.

You're not.

The official line is that you're only allowed to talk about things that have been widely published. Since MMOChamp got asked to take down everything, I assume there won't be much else to talk about until Beta opens up and/or the NDA is lifted.
