Even if the strength of the change was unintended.
People who play dps classes want to feel like they are powerful, and certainly feral players are feeling that now.
And that’s okay!
Boss encounters aren’t broken, everything is still fine even with feral in the state is now.
Let people have fun pumping playing the class they want to play. Wrath classic is the end for a lot of players, so let them feel powerful for the remaining time they have left to play.
I’m sure there will be some doomsayers and feelscrafters who say otherwise, but I honestly don’t see the harm in making any class feel powerful/fulfilling to play; knowing that wrath will be the end point for a lot of players.
TL:dr
Wrath is the end for a lot of players, let them feel powerful and fulfilled even if they end up doing a little more damage than intended.
Not really pointless @Huuglok.
While that 2 dudes/dudettes are spamming forums with an army of alts to nerf Ferals, it’s okay to share the other side.
There was, quite literally, a single digit number of people who enjoyed bear- flower- weaving. Absolutely pain in the a$$ rotation complexity for no reason.
OP is advocating NOT to nerf Ferals and leave them as is (after last week’s change)
Why nerf ferals? Because you dont play a feral? Roll one and see how that goes for you. Ive played feral since late vanilla and stayed with it up till a few couple months ago when my GM asked me to main my assassination rogue to help on dps. I did it. I didnt come to forums and say nerf every other class so I can play my favorite class. The problem isnt blizz…its the cry babies who measure their little wee wees by a damage meter.
Feral players who stayed loyal to the class deserve the boost. They have the most difficult rotation and didnt switch to the fotm…UH DK, Lock or rogue. Play what you play and be happy. whiny babies…Warriors, rogues, locks dont stop to do anything in their button mashing bs rotations…As a feral I cant count how many times im “pumping” hey innervate this guy…brez that guy…so on and so on…a bunch of damn babies. Play your class or reroll. Whiny bi*****
cool. so maybe its time to revisit more ret paladin buffs considering theyre still significantly behind even fury warriors who are on suicide watch right now
ferals are now barely behind assassination in the #2 slot on any non-hodir offball mechanic fight, have insane utility like innervate, brez, crit buff, bleed buff, and quick offtanking abilities, and will scale to be #1.
Clearly not thought out by blizzard. Its a 12% buff for the top .1% end and close to 30% buff for more average players. If they gave warriors a 30% dmg buff you’d likely be upset and that is with warriors having no utility, lmao. IMAGINE IF THEY HAD UTILITY TOO.
It’s actually like nearly perfect 10% indeed. They eyeballed it pretty well. 7-10%
I went over logs of all bosses. Some fights warriors are ahead. Some fights warriros & ferals are identical. Some fights warriors are 600-1k behind ferals.
Bro you pick out the top 0.1% of players and ignore the 80 to 99th percentile acting like the top 0.1% isn’t polluted by degenerate parsing strats.
It doesn’t matter if a warrior who is single-handly cleaving sparks on XT is beating ferals who cant cleave sparks because they die too fast in a normal raid. Stop spreading misinformation. Ferals are miles ahead of warriors in almost any avg or above avg raid. I agree they don’t need to be reverted but Fury does need a buff.
this is from straight comparing logs of people, feral is now about in line with assassination rogue in damage. Filtering ulduar fights by 1 day, its basically #2 right on assassination’s tail on every fight, and theyre both at the top of any fight that isnt hodir/vezax style mechanics.
SOmeone on this forum the other day did a detailed breakdown of the #2 overall feral and in one raid he went up an average of 12% damage. Ive seen other less sweaty ferals gaining wayyyy more than 12%.
Its a ton of energy every fairy fire, it was obviously going to be busted.
Anything below 80-90th percentile contains either bad players or undergeared GDKP buyers and isn’t representative of the class/spec’s performance at all.
The buff might have to be walked back or retuned later because currently Feral will be the #1 melee mid-TotC already and Warriors and other specs will NEVER catch up to them, even in ICC hm bis Shadowmourne included.
I hope they keep the feral buff, we’ve already started stacking them to make hard mode content a joke. The ferals get to brag about how “leet” they are and we get loot… win/win.
