The big PvP news over the weekend was the little blurb in the latest PTR patch notes that put slience and interrupts on diminishing returns — where testing on the PTR showed that after 3 silences/interrupts on a player, that player would be immune for 15 seconds.

Well, the change didn’t make it through the weekend:  

After further discussion about the change in patch 2.3 which adds diminishing returns to silencing effects, we’ve decided to revert the change. Though we do feel that being chain school locked is a problem and plan to address it at some point in the future, we weren’t comfortable with the amount of testing this particular change received. -Eyonix

If you’re wondering if the retraction affects interrupts as well, Nethaera says:

This includes the entirety of the patch note that said : “Silence and Interrupt effects now have diminishing returns when used on PvP targets.” It no longer applies. I hope that clears it up a little for you. -Nethaera

Another weekend, another patch to the PTR. Before we get to the changes in the patch notes, here are a couple of screenshots that I’m sure rogues are happy about:

Also, a current hot topic is the new /cancelform on the PTR. As a side effect of the 2.3 autoshifting changes, /cancelform is now client-based and does not need server confirmation (like /dismount). The result, when combined with druid shifting macros, is that form changing will be one-press and, in effect, instant — without the druid ever appearing in caster form. Check out these clips of the shifting macros in action: 1, 2, 3.

No doubt, this is every druid’s dream come true, but some are concerned that the improved shifting may tip the balance a little too far on an already strong PvP class. Serennia feels so strongly about the improved druid shifting on the PTR that he’s braving the WoW forums. What do you guys think on how this change will affect the different brackets: 2v2s, 3v3s and 5v5s?
