Blue Dragon Nerfed by 57% in 3.1*

Friends, bloggers, druids - lend me your ears; 

I come to bury my Blue Dragon Card, not to praise it.

The evil that OP gear does lives after it; 

The good is oft interred with its nexus crystals. 

So let it be with Blue Dragon. 

The noble Ghostcrawler 

Hath told you time spent OO5SR was ambitious; 

If it were so, it was a grievous fault, 

And grievously hath Blue Dragon answered it.

Here, under leave of Ghostcrawler and the rest of Blizz - 

For Ghostcrawler is an honorable man; 

So are they all, all honorable developers - 

Come I to speak in Blue Dragon's funeral. 

It was my favorite trinket, faithful and just to me; 

But Ghostcrawler says PvE regen was ambitious; 

And Ghostcrawler is an honorable man. 

Blue Dragon hath brought many 15 seconds of OOC regens to my raids

Whose manas did my mana bar fill:

Did this in regen seem ambitious?

When that the OOM have cried, Blue Dragon hath wept:

Ambition should be made of sterner stuff. 

Yet Ghostcrawler says he was ambitious; 

And Ghostcrawler is an honorable man. 

You all did see that on spell cast

Two percent we received its Aura, 

And 98 percent we were refused: Was this ambition?

Yet Ghostcrawler says Spirit and Int regen was ambitious; 

And, sure, he is an honorable man. 

I speak not to disprove what Ghostcrawler spoke, 

But here I am to speak what I do know.

You all did love Blue Dragon one, not without cause:

What cause do you have now to say much mana regen makes raiding too easy?

O judgment! Thou art fled to under geared noobs, 

And hard core raiders have lost their reason. Bear with me; 

My heart is in the nexus crystals with Blue Dragon, 

And I must pause till it come back to me. 

*For me and my gear. Your pain from the nerf bat may vary.

Here you will find my original post on Blue Dragon, including a spreadsheet to see how wonderful it is right now. Here is that same spreadsheet, updated for 3.1's healing coefficient: Excel, Open Office
