I really hope Blizzard meant for Fel Armor that it grants 30% of intellect rather than spirit since no Warlocks I know would have any +spirit gear. What's the point in boosting a 'locks spirit when we have lifetap! Oh and don't forget that in Demonlogy (where thFel Armour gets a buff) warlocks also have the -15% Demonic embrace which knocks off 15% spirit. Right now I get +130 spell damage, with this in I get 60 so I am hoping they meant intellect not spirit :)

Agreed, with it giving damage based on Spirit and not based on your damage total like now, it seems like a big nerf, especially with no more effect on healing effects. Seems like a stealth way to increase Mage "damage" without actually increasing Mage damage - move others farther back from the starting line.

Couple that with Soul Link no longer giving 5% damage, and depending on how they do item homogenization (all clothies wear the same crap? So will it be +Int and +Spi and not give us extra stamina and thus change the way warlocks play?) and I think I may end up going back to the old playstyle:

Dot, dot, dot, cue Benny Hill Theme, run around like a schoolgirl to avoid the mob.

For other changes and classes, the Riposte change seems to be a bummer. I don't know if it was hugely overpowered, seeing as my rogue is Subtlety-spec, but I don't remember it doing major damage... seems like a big change.

Oh well.
