Got to play with Kitty swipe in Naxx a bit last night. Very fun. It can certainly pull some high dps in the right scenarios.

Strength: I thought that strength was going to be nerfed for us ferals so that it grants far less attack power. Idol of Worship: I got this pimp idol expecting it to be the best pve cat form trinket in the game only to find out soon after that it has no effect in the game. Blizz moderators had commented on it saying it should be fixed in this most recent patch. It's quite possible I just missed something in the patch notes or perhaps Blizz forgot to mention anything about the Idol fix. Does anyone have any info on either of these? Thanks!

Believe me, if I'm wrong, I'll be delighted. My armor figures look much better when considering cloak base armor getting multiplied.

We've already decided polearms go to melee before ranged. So as soon as one drops that's an upgrade I'll be nabbing it since I'm the only melee that would want it. Screenshot incoming, I promise!

If you look at the tooltip, cloaks have no armor type. It just says "Cloak", as opposed to something like "Chest Leather". So the multiplier is only applying to items that have the "Cloth" or "Leather" descriptor. On the other hand, cloaks are unique among items without armor type in that they have base armor. Because of that, Donjio may be correct that we still get their base armor multiplied. It makes sense when you think about the items as mere database entries.

My Druid (currently at 70) has a Sonic Spear... the thing that my Hunter really wanted but could never get. I just realised something.
