Old Bears nerfed in 4.06

[SgtFury]

Just a bit of a heads up... you might find that any druids that were bear tanks before the Shattering might take a more damage now that 4.06 is kicked in.

Turns out the talent Protector of the Pack was ghosted and still in play for Bears that were around before the Shattering. So we were getting 6% more AP and 12% damage reduction, on top of all the new talents.

It's now been fixed in 4.06 so be wary Old bear tanks.

As if there weren't enough reasons already not to play a bear tank anymore....

Funnily enough I've cancelled Wow now.... runs out on the March 18th.... not due to this, but it's just not "fun" anymore .

And I bought a cataclysm computer too

Are those the computers from Overclockers? What do you reckon of them??

Ye, seems that if you want to tank with a druid you will have to respec to panzerkin these days.

Bought the Hellscream i5 one. It is pretty sweet. All settings on high in wow and it had no problems. Although annoyingly Bad company has problems due to it not being able to use multiple cores :/

I have no issues whatsoever with BC2 on my Q9550 - plus it does use multiple cores as far as I can tell. You sure the problem isn't elsewhere?

Windows 7 comes up saying my computer is struggling and do I want to change the colours to Windows 7 basic. When I look at the cores 100% of 1 is being used, nothing of the others.

Once I change that setting it's fine. It's just annoying that it has to do that.

Is there a setting to change? I looked a bit for info and found that it didn't support multiple cores... maybe it was old info.

Have you somehow (likely accidentally) set the affinity of the process to only use one core?

When it's running, bring up task manager, right click the process in the processes list and select set affinity, make sure all CPUs are ticked.
