The 5% buff on the 3 key stats are the most significant to bring to instances. I endured death and long camping on my bm hunter main to get the (Embrace of the) shale spider (Jadefang). My "main" alt druid has the mark of the wild. That being said, these new panda-kids on the block come charging into instances, blasting their Legacy of the Empire, ignorant to the fact that someone else already buffed the party. Brats.

Their isn't much difference between druids and monks. And with paladins, it seems like everyone now has the 5% stat buff. Now the big buff isn't a big deal. What's up with that, Blizz? Have we gone to "bring the player, not the class?" I'd like more opportunities as a bm hunter to "save the group" and pull out a pet with a missing buff. And if it's not too much to ask, add more variety to class buffs for parties. Now there are 3 classes + 1 pet with the same best buff.

Thanks for reading my rant!

Monks sure love to spam this thing during the waiting phase of a BG. Worse yet, this buff (just like its icon) visualizes as a giant bell on top of your character, and this bell with clang once when the buff is active.

Mix this with the limitless energy of the 60 second waiting period, and that EVERY SINGLE MONK in the room will be spamming this........... and well, lets just say Monks are the class for whom the bells toll.

Comment by Sam506

The icon of this ability share a similarity with the Clarion Bell located at Tian Monastery in Jade Forest.
