I agree that bear threat needed major help...

But I don't like this change. Bears have ONE ability worth anything, Mangle. Can they just buff another ability?

Currently Bears have 2 types of abilities:
-Things that buff Mangle
-Mangle

It's not really a buff. The net result is a nerf, since there was a bug with one of our old talents that gave us 6% extra attack power. That was removed with the patch along with a 10% nerf. So we still lost a bit of damage.

Assuming the percentages they used were based on the AP at the time, then it's not a 10% nerf, but a 12% nerf.

Assume a bear had 100 AP (to keep the math easy).
1000AP - 20% = 800AP

Then they upped it by 10%
800AP + 10% = 880AP

I know it's nit-picky, but it's a little worse than a 10% nerf.

I get the feeling Blizz nerfs more than they want to end up at so after complaints about the nerf we're all placated by the small rollback they implement. Clevah giiiiiirl.
