Patch changes

• / Patch 4.0.1 (12-Oct-2010): The Bear Form and Dire Bear Form version of this ability now have a 6 sec cooldown and rage cost increased to 30 
  
• Patch 3.3.0 (08-Dec-2009): renamed Swipe to Swipe (Bear) to separate it from [Swipe (Cat)], range increased to 8 yards. 
  
• Patch 3.1.0 (14-Apr-2009): The Bear Form and Dire Bear Form version of this ability no longer has a targeting requirement and hits targets behind the druid and to the sides. 
  
• / Patch 3.0.2 (14-Oct-2008): Feral Instinct no longer increases threat generated in Bear form, but now increases damage done by your Swipe ability by 5/10/15%. 
  
• / Patch 3.0.2 (14-Oct-2008): Now affects targets within a range.
  

            Previously, threat generation was 1.75x damage done. Now the threat multiplier has been removed. However, the increased damage compensates the lost of threat, especially in AoE tanking scenarios.

• Patch 1.8.0 (10-Oct-2005): Self cooldown removed.
