[:1]We toned down bear damage, because they were going to do more DPS than other tanks while tanking. Other changes were made to keep bears from neglecting certain core abilities.
---
I realize bear scaling was a little too good, but what I'd like some clarification on is what core abilities were being neglected. And if anyone knows what those changes are/will be.
edit: I started reading the PTR notes and the only core ability I could see being neglected in that list (that I typically neglect) is FFF. Even so, I'm not sure that's a very exciting change. Does the priority system change at all?
if I had to guess, I'd say that reference to core abilities is simply the leftovers of a misunderstanding that arose when initial investigation into the 4.2 scaling changes suggested that Thrash might actually overtake Mangle in priority.
It wasn't going to after all, but the possibility was raised and caught blizzard's attention enough to warrant a comment from the PR team to the effect that they didn't want us neglecting mangle, and.. some comment about them fixing a bug - that was probably the bug they fixed in 4.1 :P
mass confusion imo, but probably about par for the course when it comes to commuicating with the devs recently :)
Warrior tank in our Heroic dungeon last night was managing 22k dps - bears must be insane.
