Threat reduction

new ptr build has:
Affliction
* Improved Drain Soul now reduces the threat caused by your Affliction spells by 10/20%. (Up from 5/10%)
Destruction
* Destructive Reach now reduces the threat caused by Destruction spells by 10/20%. (Up from 5/10%)
this is a really nice change for us as i, for one, have lots of trouble with being threat capped. more in pugs than guild runs but still it's the passive, percent-based threat reduction that we've been missing all this time.

Thank you blizzard! Thank you! I've always felt my threat per dps seemed to be a little higher than par to other classes. This still won't keep me from forgetting from time to time that the tank should have a few seconds before I bust out a big Immo-Conflag-CB combo. It can be scary when you get a lucky string of crits right at the start of a pull.

This is sweet indeed. Too bad the cookie cutter aff spec doesn't use improved drain soul. If i choose to pick up aff as off-spec i probably will though since i have the 0/13/58 build, and it's just plain annoying having 3% more hit on one spec. That way i don't need to swap gear.
Did anyone else notice there's no spirit whatsoever on T10 btw? Or maybe they're just placeholders.

Just thought I'd toss this in here since this is a ptr topic.
also:
The Egg of Mortal Essence: This item can no longer be triggered by Life Tap.
in case anyone was still using one of those. it currently synergises (word?) nicely with the way we life tap for the buff meaning you usually had the haste buff for your opening rotation. well, i doubt anyone uses these now but you never know.

It's still annoying that affliction has to put a point into both threat reductions to benefit. Hopefully one point into each is enough to at least let me build up enough threat that soulshattering once drops more than I can rebuild over the course of the rest of the fight.
Regardless, it's a helluva lot better than what's currently live, so I'm happy.

There will be no spirit on warlock sets since spirit will be the only MP5 stat and warlocks don't need that
Hmm, this thread is about 3.3 on the PTR, I'm guessing you're mistaking it for a discussion about Cataclysm.
