Well, it seems we have another update on the frontlines of 2.4.2 Patch
Day. It seems that Fear Beast is not going to be an Instant Cast Spell
after all.

Many in the Hunter community are up in arms over this last minute change.
Mostly because Blizzard had communicated even in Patch Installation
Release Notes that it would remain as an Instant Cast.

“Scare Beast: The Range on this spell has been increased to 30 yards and
it is now instant cast.”

Well this wasn’t to be. I’m sure that this will be a relief to Druids
partcipating in PVP and Arena’s everywhere that Blizzard decided to change
the spell to be:

“Scare Beast: The Range on this spell has been increased to 30 yards.”
(Official Patch Notes: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/patchnotes/)

Notice it not having the “…and it is now instant cast.” at the end.

Well, I will say this. We at least have a 30yd radius to cast it. That’s
a huge bonus. (No need to run after Roar in Kara now :P)

As for PVP and Arena players. I’m sure they were looking forward to
having a Instant Cast Fear for those Feral Druids, but are flexible enough
and cunning enough to still find a use for this spell.

We’ll keep you informed as Patch Day continues…
