This feels shortsighted.
Ferals have been on the bottom tier of the DPS for months, can we get longer than 1 week before trying to tune them with solutions that only create more problems?

I want my bearweaving days back, these changes suck. nobody is happy except the boomers who click. Screw Taylor, screw flowershifting, I bet the person who actually plays the game is a rogue main who just lost yogg pants to a feral

Yeah no that totally makes sense.
Fixed within less than a week goodguyblizz.
What is it that you have against ferals?
Wotlk is literally the ONLY XPAc EVER IN THE HISTORY OF THIS GAME that feral cat was desirable and you finally fixed that only to tank it again.
Why are you calling an upper mid tier dps overtuned? Are you going to nerf rogues, dks, and warlocks to compensate as well?
I literally want to delete my druid and this game because of this dumb bs.

Friendly reminder that feral Druid now has 4 separate abilities that generate clearcasting, 2 of which are non-damaging abilities with either a short cooldown or no cooldown

They gonna drag you blizzard. 
Honestly walking back the buff less than a week in is pretty stupid. I just converted my druid to feral last night, thankfully I only burned 20k so far on it because if it was much more Iâd be really pissed off.

might as well buff ret pallys in pvp on wrath now if ur gonna nerf classes in pvp LOL
Feral cat only has 2 ways to generate OOC, thats via auto attacks or FFF. Bearweaving and flowershifting should not be considered when nerfing/buffing cat dps.
Iâm getting a feeling the blizzard doesnât really know what theyâre doing. I donât even play feral but their damage is fine? Theyâre still getting beaten out by mages, dks, rogues, warlocks. Why did they need the nerf lmao

Sanq, look into your heart of hearts and think about what you are communicating to us. I expect the companies I pay my subscriptions to make decisions that are rational, sensible, andâif neededâcomforting to the subscribers.
Is it rational? Is it sensible? Is it comforting to the subscribers? Rational to nerf Cat PVP damage while leaving every other spec unchanged? I think not. Sensible to move around bear tank damage (as if they were the top-tier tank)? I think not. Comforting to the subscribers to watch the Classic teamâs ham-fisted attempt at destroying the rotation enjoyed by feral players for their mediocre damage by buffing them with zero foresight into the implications this buff would have for future content, just to watch that be hotfixed in a change made before you even made this post? I think not.
What are feral druids experiencing now, but the tyranny of arbitrary decisions? The tyranny of arbitrary decisions is exactly what makes living under a the thumb of a paranoid dictator so scary for many people around the world. Is that really the image you want to project?

But why though?
Ferals werenât the absolute top, and we now live in a world where buffs happen in WotLK, so what does it matter? It didnât seem like new ferals were outside the bounds of what is reasonable⊠so what does nerfing them accomplish?
Is there an internal set of expectations for class performance, relative to each other, that you guys strive to achieve? Like, for whatever reason, is it desired to have Locks and Rogues at the top, and ferals some percentage below that, and so you felt that feral got too far away from the place you wanted it to be?
Is this a Hybrid Tax thing? Do we (you) still care about that?

The worst part of this is how it was handled from a communications stand-point. It really just leaves a bad taste in my mouth to spring this hotfix before announcing it, after a holiday weekend no less. If Blizzard isnât confident in their ability to make changes, they really just shouldnât.

They need to just start doing actual balancing and not just piecing things out randomly. Starting on the last balance patch of each expansion was going to lead to more and more situations where they would need to do some balancing, being upfront about this from the get go would have been the correct choice.

Could you not, why do you have to always beat up on ferals, meanwhile 3button warrior andys, dk gargoyles and paladin bullsh*t is just okay. This nerfs feral in pvp/tanking and dps. Taking 5% dmg of already weak class, honestly F you!
