Well, maybe still a little (Hyrans/BC) but I'll take it

First mobs stop healing when people die, now no more rebuffing.... GO GO ZERG STRAT... just sayin

Edit: Oh don't look at my sig I raid on my dirge now.

Heh, awesome news. Rebuffing mid fight is a total fucking pita.

This change was long over due.

Awesome, now Dirges can utilize those exothermic stones since all important we gotta rebuff is hate if the OP is correct. Very nice.

Its kinda buggy atm, spells modded by AA or gear (green text) still drop as you lose all AA and gear benefits when you die. Still i mean 5 buffs vrs 15 but would love to see it done right since they are doing it.

I really hope that this is going to result in a change to the code that will allow those bonuses to drop and reapply without dropping the buffs altogether. I have given up using off hand temp adornment because of Marrows Song.

I agree the passive spells from AA/god pets that you will ALWAYS have up should remain when you die/rez, but the ones that require concentration slots should still be removed when you die.

How does this work for single target buffing of people who die? If I have BC on a scout and he die, does BC become available to me again or is it still stuck on the dead scout? I can see this becoming a cluster-fuck if I want to then cast BC on another scout in group, but have to click it twice (once to remove BC from scout 1 and again to place it on scout 2)

God pets are so stupid, they should just be god buffs. Same thing with sorceror pets. Nobody wants to micromanage that shit and watch it trail around.
