* The Electrified Ether recipe now creates 2 to 3 Electrified Ether instead of 1.
* The Heat-Treated Spinning Lure buff duration has been increased to 20 minutes, up from 5. In addition, the recipe now creates 2 at a time.
* Synapse Springs now increase Agility, Strength, or Intellect (whichever is highest for the character).
* Volatile Air now has an increased chance of dropping from rich mining nodes and Pyrite.

Some significant nerfs to heroics that keep the general difficulty level, but as a veteran tank of every heroic 6 times over, I have to ask:

Where the fuck is my nerf to gilgoblin damage?

* There is now a precast visual on the ground to make it clear how far away a player must get to be clear of Shatter.
* The cast time of Shatter has been increased to 3 seconds, up from 2.5.
* Shatter damage is now reduced by armor, but has been increased by 33.3% (repeating, of course) as a result.

Damn over tuned fight.

That last one isn't a nerf persay but a future convenience. We're gonna be doing these until the end of the xpac for our VP. At some point tanks will be lazy because they over-gear stonecore and stand in shatter. This allows the to do it.

I still need to L2Strafe though.
