4.0.6 Herbalism After Hotfix - Update on Whiptail in Uldum

*Edit- Big Jimm over at P3P just hit on an article, with us both posting the exact same time (ok, within a few minutes or so). Go over and read his post, you can click anywhere in this article for the link. This is just my opinion, but I think his is a better read than mine... Go check it out! And Jimm, if you read this, thanks for the link love! I will try my best to do better so I can get on your blogroll too..I promise.

On my post from yesterday, there was a comment left by Anonymous saying:

 "Must have been a software burp that took time to catch cause it's nerfed now... back to normal. "

Anon, I have to agree to disagree on that. After completing an hour "run", There were a few things that I noticed. For one,  out of the 19 nodes throughout my "spot" (ok, there are 20, but one has a three mob "timewaster" on it, so I only count my 19), four nodes did not show up. Not once. All the others once again fluctuated on a 6 to 12 minute timer on average, with a few "proccing" on a 2-3 minute and once again, a few that hit "instant" spawns (4 times within the hour, I counted this time...).

So to go further into what I see as a difference, Blizz more or less "nerfed" the spawn locations versus the actual spawn "procs". So basically, a 20% nerf. So once again, you get another screenie for an explaination. Pre-nerf, I had 241 Whiptail and 144 Volatile Life. Post-nerf, 347 and 125.

 *Ok, I just noticed my math was WAY off on my post yesterday. Jeezus.....lol. My screenie even shows 441, and I wrote 241. What a slacker this Alto guy is. How does he even profit on the AH? There are plenty of Grammar Police, where is teh Math Police? See what happens when I don't have an addon to do stuff for me? Hahaha.

So using the corrected number, (using a calc now...) I am figuring that the "nerf" lost on Whiptail is about 22%, and the change on Volatile Life is around 14%, so my previous guess is correct, that blizz just nerfed the locations, not the "proc" rates.

Ok bloggers, who else is an herbie and is gonna check the Heartblossom? Faid, did you farm since the recent hotfix? Did you have any changes? Believe me folks, if I had the time, I would update those locations too, but family always comes first. You guys are a close second though. Alright, maybe third. Ok, Ok, at least top ten. =)


So, in conclusion, I am still getting more Whiptail than previous to 4.0.6 in this location. So to me, it is still a viable place to "waste" my time, as 4K is still good GPH, and it gets me away from my normal PvP.

Are you guys tired of hearing about 4.0.6 yet? Am I leaving anything out that you want to know? Holler, let me know. I will do my best to get some scoops for ya. Now I did hear that there is a dungeon that seems to have a droprate for one of the new enchants, but I need to find out for sure before I tell ya....I guess I just kinda did. Well, did you hear anything? Tonight, I might try (note I said try) to solo. Ugh. Fun stuff.....
