The penalty on power regeneration when power is below 50% has been removed.

This was a good idea, it meant that there was some skill in managing your mana during PVE. Now best plan is just to chain cast until OOM.

Oh, if any one asks, you ain't seen me here right.

What about the spirit of the hunt cooldown going from 30 mins to 20, still think it should be 7 mins like on BM and zerker
