I’m not sure the genius who suggested lowering the unstoppable in grizzly rage to 6 seconds, especially without adding something to compensate that loss. However I hope someone slaps him in the back on the neck today. The only other option I have to break free from cc is earth bulwark. Yet only a werebear with vasilys prayer can use it in his werebear form. A werewolf in grizzly rage cannot. However that 6 seconds of unstoppable is up in the blink of an eye. The least that could have been done, was to add some extra damage or something to it. Not to add a malignant heart that has up to a 60% chance of proccing. So while others are able to put in other actual beneficial and amazing hearts. I’m forced to put in one with practically a 50/50 chance of survival…… yaaaaay. You all actually sat in the meeting, listened to these changes, and said yup. That’s amazing? Crazy. ![]()
To be clear I am not claiming the following to be optimal, merely that it’s optional. Which is objectively superior to impossible.
Blood howl and cyclone armor both can proc earthern bulwark using natures fury. Don’t really need to explain it past that, other than to say blood howl is basically spammable in packs due to kills reducing cooldown.
In fact, Blood Howl is an excelent way to proc unstoppable if you use grizzly werewolf. I’ve managed to do it quite consistently in my werenado druid.
I agree that it’s a very awful nerf, but i understand where that comes from. Grizzly rage druids were the only class and skill that had up to 30s of constant unstoppable, and that was very overturned. Now we gotta play more strategically.
6 seconds of unstopable on a relativly low CD is still more then most class even without the malignant heart,
I guess druids got used to be uncrowd contralable. Druids are tanky, deal ton of damage and used to be near immune to CC. They were simply OP,pre-nerf.
they nerfed it because there was no reason to pick another ultimate over than grizly, it makes sense but, it killed the only source of unstoppable for werewolf builds, and reducing the cdr on gear maybe devs overreacted to it, as with all the nerfs…
The nerf sucks, true. Being an unstoppable raging bear was a lot of fun. Still, we have to acknowledge unstoppable is op. It being mandatory is no fault of our own, of course. No other class had that though. It gave druids a huge advantage. Thankfully we probably have the most tools to apply it still. My poor necro.
Trample, Bulwark, and Nature’s Fury still an option w/storm spells or WW skills w/aspect. It’s rnd, but pretty consistent for breaking out of CCs. Tbh, I haven’t use GR since even before the nerf.
Edit: there’s an aspect to add Nature to Trample so it triggered by Nature’s Fury etc.
the worst part is that i dont have any clue how to get that white heart that procs grizly…am i to farm the boss over and over? there are "wrathful invokers which i dont know how to craft or where do they drop…
