Patch changes

  • Legion Patch 7.0.3 (2016-07-19): Re-added. No longer deals an additional 20% damage against bleeding targets.
  • Warlords of Draenor Patch 6.0.2 (2014-10-14): Removed.
  • Mists of Pandaria Patch 5.0.4 (2012-08-28): Now also deals an additional 20% damage against bleeding targets.
  • Cataclysm Patch 4.1.0 (2011-04-26): Swipe (Bear) cooldown has been reduced to 3 seconds, down from 6, and is now trainable at level 18 (training cost has been reduced). In addition, the bonus threat from this ability has been removed and replaced with increased damage done.
  • Cataclysm Patch 4.0.3a (2010-11-23): Damage has been reduced by 20%.
  • Wrath-Logo-Small Patch 3.3.0 (2009-12-08): renamed Swipe to Swipe (Bear) to separate it from Swipe (Cat), range increased to 8 yards.
  • Wrath-Logo-Small Patch 3.1.0 (2009-04-14): The Ability racial bearform [Bear Form] and Ability racial bearform [Dire Bear Form] version of this ability no longer has a targeting requirement and hits targets behind the druid and to the sides.
  • Wrath-Logo-Small Patch 3.0.2 (2008-10-14): Ability ambush [Feral Instinct] no longer increases threat generated in Bear form, but now increases damage done by your Swipe ability by 5/10/15%.
  • Wrath-Logo-Small Patch 3.0.2 (2008-10-14): Now affects targets within a range. (Old, only affected 3 targets.)
    Previously, threat generation was 1.75x damage done. Now the threat multiplier has been removed. However, the increased damage compensates the loss of threat, especially in AoE tanking scenarios.
  • Bc icon Patch 2.0.10 (2007-03-06): No longer affected by Ability druid ravage [Savage Fury].
  • WoW Icon update Patch 1.8.0 (2005-10-10): Self cooldown removed.
