Blizzard has preyed on a minority (feral)

After reviewing warcraft logs, feral druid is the lowest played main spec in the game. Why was this small population of players targeted with another nerf? A 5% flat nerf is simply lazy, at least make the glyph a minor glyph.

Because a bunch of 30 year old cry babies made enough noise.

“another nerf” they’re literally buffed 500 dps still from where they would be with no changes. And they don’t have to do all the jank weaving to reach those dps numbers.

Why were hunters buffed to now be the 2nd top dps class in icc, a sliver behind fire mage?!

The short answer a handful of people whined about Feral simming decently despite being the least forgiving melee dps and never possibly reaching that in actual encounters.

lmao “decently” gotta love the feral players trying to justify their crazy buff

You should learn to quote properly.

This is just normalizing the glyph so it’s not a buff.
Feral is low as a standalone spec but also should consider that feral used to be considered a pvp spec so they should consider themselves lucky to be able to do as good and to not have to do the multiple weaving which were the gameplay of feral dps early on. And druid as a whole will be great in ICC with resto druid finally being great, feral tank getting their 4p, feral dps even with nerf will be doing great and boomy is one of the most played specs.

Saying it was simming “decently” outs you as intellectually dishonest from the start. It’s all I needed to quote.

Except it is still a buff of like 500 dps.

Ignoring that sims do not reflect actual fight performance as they don’t reflect real world mechanics and feral is one of the hardest hit by that shows you are not discussing it in good faith.

Your spec is better than mine even with your “nerf.” Sorry?

Feral is better than rogue right now, and will be better in ICC even with this tuning of their significant damage buff.

And unlike you I wouldn’t be whining if rogues got a buff.

That’s good for you, bud. You’re whining about being less buffed (but still significantly buffed) btw.

Hunters weren’t buffed, we just scale really well with ArP like Warriors. Also, don’t believe Hunter sims, they’ve been inflated the entire expansion.

There’s no way trap launcher isn’t a buff

Pretty sure most hunters will stay survival till full bis and maybe even after anyway.

Probably. Less gear competition, replenish is still solid. The DPS remains competent, and some just will like the move pool better.

Trap launcher is a quality of life change more than it is a direct buff, the Hunter sim assumes you’ll use a whole 2 second trapping, so theoretically trap launcher only gives us an extra steady shot every 30 seconds.

Sounds like a buff to me!
