It may be a nerf for those druids who have stacked as much strength as possible to the exclusion of other stats, but especially considering that they plan to raise the attack power on items that buff druids' attack power while shapeshifted, having this talent to make them even more powerful seems pretty nice to me. It also makes agility scale even better for cat druids than it did before, and in many cases it enables us to get more bonuses from many buffs and items (such as Blessing of Might, and... rogue gear!).
For the mathematically inclined amongst you, here is the formula for calculating your new buffed-up attack power from the original poster Vorox (who translated from German): (Current AP - (Strength in cat form - Strength in caster form)*2)*1.1

"Does this mean Ogre Slayer's Ring is getting +attack power? Chestguard of the Talon? Clefthoof Hide Leggings? Are these now suddenly worthless items?"
"...which have no attack power and consist mostly of stats"
Seriously guys. What the fuck? Have you ever noticed that +1 STR means +2 AP and +1 AGI means +1 AP in catform? As the new talent will raise your AP by 10%, not str by 20%, also your AP bonuses from AGI and AP items will be counted in to the calculations. (especially the 600+ AP weapons will be nice when counted in...)

@rcwills--
dude, im not getting you, but i appreciate the explanation. What i understand out of this is that 1str=2.2ap....ok so....1agi = 1.1ap......why am i wanting to get more agi when according to what i see...str is clearly the way to go?

@ 22
If all you want to do is maximize attack power, then stack Strenght. If you want to maximize dps, then you need both high attack power and high crit %.
