Boomkin PvP survivability is horrendous

Thank those frenzied nerfs and the whopping 10% heal you get

Itā€™s actually 6% :dracthyr_lulmao:
Weā€™re now officially gummy bears! :bear: :candy:

Itā€™s 6 on boomy, too? Rip. Bears got the same treatment, thus the blood dk

Well, lookā€¦ The tooltip says 20ā€¦ But Iā€™m just not buying that.

Edit: The simplest solution in the world is to give us Brambles or a new shield a la WoD Mageā€™s Flameglow (Iā€™ll call it Celestial Bulwark), either via one of the talent trees (Vigil alternative?), or even as a PvP talent (since, letā€™s be real, Moonkin Aura isnā€™t that great anymore and we kinda lack options atm. What else do yā€™all except Owlkin Adept & High Winds that youā€™d say is ESSENTIAL? I guess Tireless Pursuit is the closest thingā€¦ though I think the 3rd slot could be locked-into such new shield talent and dramatically improve our experienceā€¦ from which other things can be nerfed if necessary! Prolly AoE & Control first)

Could also just un-nerf vigil. WoD was the good old days man

Moonkins should have the following

Bash & disorienting roar
Disorienting roar should keep us in moonkin form
Mass entanglement should have 3 charges
Ursolā€™s vortex should be on a 15 second cooldown
Matted fur should have its absorb from barkskin be increased from 230k to 3+ million
Barkskin should also remove all mortal strike debuffs
Starsurge and starfall and moonfire/sunfire should all be usable in bear form

I havent seen a balance druid in arena all season. Mobility, defensives its all trash and out dated compared with class design now.

The survival of the balance druid is ridiculously poor, particularly when playing 2v2 with a friend, both DPS, there is no doubt as to which of us will die first, I am always the target, no matter what class he is with. I believe they should consider giving the balance druid survival instincts, so the spec wouldnā€™t be so unplayable.

This is the specialization with the versatile gameplay that won me over, I would hate to have to abandon it due to sheer unfeasibility.

So you want us to be a raid boss from three expansions from now?

I would say reduce the CD TO 20 seconds.

Should be on a 30 second CD. Also maybe bring back vortex beam where if a caster goes back in, it silences.

Waaaaaayyyy too broken on a 1 min CD. To not be broken, maybe 700k in pvp. Shamans have to take a PVP talent to get their stone bulwark for around 3mil on a 2.9 min CD. Then be like stoneform removing all debuffs? They took that away from hunters for a reason. Too broken.

Bear form should be for bear things. Moonkin form just needs buffs to the actual form.

All in all youā€™re being overzealous. Adding one defensive for boomie in the spec tree is all we need at this point. Something that allows for our Moonkin form to reduce damage as a whole by 5% that also increases our healing by 10-15%. Or a talent like yseraā€™s gift and even the nurfed version 3% of our total health healed every 5 seconds. But to not make that broken, have it proc at 35% health.

We donā€™t need to be broken, just better. Listen, blizzard needs to be careful now. They have buffed our damage to a point where we contend with any class. If they gave what you wanted, we would be the first caster tank that just stands in the middle of the arena just spamming wrath until something dies.

I feel like moonkin need self sustain. A reliable way to proc instant regrowths that heal for more on self. A buffed natures vigil. Un-nerf frenzied regen.

A small damage reduction in moonkin form would help especially in arena, but a big issue currently is the ability to self sustain. My enhance shaman feels like a beast 1v1 because I can pump out heals reliably. I donā€™t think there is a single dps spec in the game that a moonkin can out attrition.
