That PVE thing is changing?

This is why you should read the occasional info about upcoming expansion-related changes.

People in the VeCo forum were talking about bosses' health going down 30 percent, and I was like, "Huh? Really?" So I clicked on some links and went and read the thread and ... wow. I knew they were nixing downranking spells, which didn't bother me because I never bothered much with that until Ahami hit the 40s, so it was easy to break myself right back off it.

Things I didn't know: You will get one potion per fight. After that, you must leave combat before the cooldown timer starts. This is gonna suck, especially as a healer (or really, anything but a rogue or hunter, I think — though honestly, I haven't done any PVE that requires me to chug pots on my hunter, so maybe feign death doesn't break combat if your team's still fighting, I dunno).

Things I didn't know II: Lots of buffs aren't going to stack anymore. Ouch.

The point being, this means that PVE thing's going to totally change in the expansion, so I can probably get away with not doing any of it until then! YAY!

Only not really, because Ahami has decided that she needs a Cenarion War Hippogryph — although I've done nothing but plant part turn-ins so far, so I might only have to do a couple Steamvault runs for it after the quests are done. Plus I still should be working on stuff like aggro management and my basic group role and stuff anyway (I do have the spamming chain heals/steady shots and not standing in fire bits down, but there are other buttons I need to press, I imagine, and I still end up winning Omen at least once an instance).
