Within my guild, two raid spots remain untouched - Feral OT and Shadow Priest. I see a lot of discussion online about the two specs, so I figured there would be even more this time around. We’re an Alliance guild, so maybe that has something to do with it…
Anyone else having trouble finding these sorts of hybrid specs for your raid teams?
I plan to play both 
.
I’m probably going to use the jack of all trades - master of none Feral/Resto combo spec and see how that goes lol.
I’m planning on going feral tank and as allience
You’re not even able to log in to start yet and you’re worried about raid slots?
I could be wrong/exaggerating a bit, but I believe feral DPS is garbage unless they farm the 2H mace from gnomer so pretty hard to justify wanting to play it.
Um, yes? Lots of raid guilds are forming now.
Having a guild planned is 1 thing, having every raid slot pre-assigned before you can even start is something else. Don’t put the cart in front of the horse. Worry about all that after you get to 60 and actually start getting ready to raid.
OK, you play your way, and others will play theirs. Everyone will be happy.
You guys are extremely rare - I’d say the rarest spec combo out there. With that said, you need a guild? Our tank group is 2 Warriors and 1 Feral OT - so you’d be the only bear.
Well, feral dps is ok, the problem with tanking is that eats up a LOT of MP keeping a druid tank up when a lot of the gear for them isn’t so great for it at that stage. They just don’t have great gear to accomodate bear tanking. From what I recall of Vanilla, get smacked far harder and basically turn into a manasponge. With limited mana regen items and such in the first release, that turns into some unpleasant raid situations.
If you’re on Herod I’m rolling a dwarf shadow priest if you need one!
what server you guys planning to be on?
Are you surprised? With the amount of hate some classes are getting from the minmax forum lords I’ll be extremely surprised if we see more than 5 druids/prot pallys per realm.
They’re literally scaring people off some classes.
Awwwww maaaan, I’m on Pagle
Heck yeah, it’s essential to planning and good leaders plan. I want to go into launch day with as much of our core complete at possible 
Pagle - the server is full of min/max PvE types, so we decided it was best for us. Here’s a link to our public recruit page Ravinar: [A] <Unity> | Pagle | Semi-Hardcore | Tu/Th +Sun 8-10PM EST
The community on these forums has been discouraging people from playing them over the last year or so.
All this talk about raid composition before launch has got me not wanting to bother with Classic, to be honest.
This sort of thing only applies to the more serious guilds that want to get ahead of the curve and go into the game with a group of like-minded people. Don’t let it dissuade your interest in Classic, the game is amazing.
This is exactly what I’ll be doing, a 0/31/20 (or maybe 1/31/19 and PvP) for a feral OT / resto hybrid.
I’m also planning on having a Dwarf Shadow Priest as my backup.
I know my limitations on both, and if I get into a progression raiding guild, I have no problem respeccing priest to healing + shadow weaving.
But my druid is staying feral / resto hybrid. Absolutely nothing wrong with it. Raided in Vanilla with it, will do the same in Classic. Healing gear for fights when needed, tanking gear for other fights. That’s the strong point of being a druid.
One word rebuttal to the community: Skarm.
