Give it the TBC mana regen on auto attack functionality, except retool it to be useful. Increase mana costs and damage. Make oomkin gameplay revolve around blasting hard, running oom, then having to choose between running into melee with your plate armor to box with the enemy, or running away to safety to heal and reset.
Jack of all, master of none.
Doesnt work for raiding a party hero great in 5 mans because you can help heal dps and tank a hit means youre useless in raid.
Why bring a worse then everyone at everything class but does a little of all to a raid where its all specialists.
Why wouldn’t it work in raid? Survival hunter is being tooled to do something similar and seems to parse just fine.
You bring an oomkin because they have the Aura of Free Raid Slot ability which gives your mages and warlocks free crit.
Speaking of, Blizz, make sure that the oomkin crit bonus is spell power crit only, while the feral crit bonus is physical crit only.
they did… omen of clarity gets 100% more procs as balance and it procs off of spells.
You already do this in pvp when you run oom, to proc omen of clarity. the gameplay you want already exists.
Omen of clarity is based off of spellcasts, not white damage.
I don’t want to cast wrath when I’m oom. I want to run in and smack people with my druid caster mace (or polearm).
Edit: oh yeah, omen of clarity works off white hits too, you right. Not deleting my post tho. 'Tegridy.
I like it. Balance is completely gutter at the moment. I wanted to go balance despite lack of pvp potential and lower end of damage but after looking at the actual base damage and coefficients boomkin is absolutely not viable by any stretch of the imagination. Wrath is 36% of vanilla and Starfire is at 70% of vanilla and boomkin in vanilla was actually not allowed to raid due to lack of DPS. Comparing numbers to just spamming frostbolt on a non frozen target, druids would lose pretty significantly even with 500 sp.
Wanted to play druid but not as an NPC, guess I’ll wait for the full release of wow forever in a few months or years when they realize that balance druids and ele shamans are playable characters in the game.
