Fixed an issue where
Weaponmaster’s Sword Specialization could be activated by 
Shield Bash and 
Shield Slam. -
Deep Wounds is once again a required talent to reach 
Impale. -
Fixed a bug where
Deep Wounds was scaling with attack power for your Offhand weapon.- Developers’ notes: Deep Wounds does not scale with Attack Power but is a rolling DoT compared to Classic/Vanilla.
- Developers’ notes:
- Spearing Strike Spearing Strike no longer requires a 2handed weapon. Spearing Strike requires Battle Stance.
