Doesnt need much explaining. Rankings have them sitting in the dumpster right underneather balance which i would say also needs a little love.
You gave a glyph to make feral have the playstyle it was supposed to have but didnt take the wotlk arpen stat into account making it kinda busted. Well arpen is gone and so is the glyph and we are sitting at the bottom AND playing the spec the way it wasnt meant to again to boot.
Make the gylph a prime glyph and we also will have to give up a good glyph just to have it or at the very least give us a damage increase for making us play the way is wasnt suppoed to be again.
yeah well… there’s a bunch of specs in need too. Lets see what these dev’s come up with once sod phase 4 is released and maybe cata is finally worth of atention.
Good boomkins and good ferals compete right at the top with other dps specs/classes. Filter logs by upper performers and it’s rather even, people just drag down the avg because they play that spec poorly, then people who can’t read logs and trolls hop on the forums and ask for buffs.
Then we get stuck with the devs going for lowest hanging fruit, putting out an untested buff to give off an appearance they are supporting the game, which then unbalances everything else.
Statistically their dps is within a few hundred of other specs and they routinely outperform other specs/classes on some fights. Which is a margin small enough to confirm they are just fine for phase 1.
