Innervate: Trainable Skill in Patch 1.11

In patch
1.11, the druid's 31-point restoration talent Innvervate will be made a trainable
skill. Replacing Innervate is a new talent called Swiftmend, which will consume a rejuvenation or regrowth
effect to produce an instant heal (if you're familiar with the warlock's Conflagrate talent, it seems to be
the same concept). This should come as welcome news for raiding druids, who have long since been forced into
restoration talent builds due to many guilds' requirement for Innervate. Hopefully this change will allow
end-game druids more flexibility to pick talent specs based on how they enjoy playing their characters, rather than
their guilds' need for Innervate.

OMG! BARE DROOID NO INERV8 NOW!
(seriously, my feral druid just became so much more useful to -any- party. Oops, healers low, *shift* *innervate* *heal* *moonfire* *shift* *Pwn*)

Ok... so when do Warriors get Tactical Mastery? I mean seriously... Between this, mages getting evocation as a trainable (or whatever their self-innervate is called), it seems Blizzard is just thumbing their noses at warriors...

Warriors already have the best equip in the game. They don't need any buffs.

I'm all for the Tactical Mastery mechanic being a basic part of switching stances from the get-go. More points for Warriors to put into protection.

Meh.. I'm sure all warriors run around with "phat epic loot" that they found lying on the side of the road. Anyhow, this should be nice for my druid... Now if only shaman's 31 resto was the same way... *dreams*

Wow, I didn't know druids could learn Innervate. I think the proper class is MAGE since this patch the focus of buffs are on mages. xD
