Pretty much title. Druid of the claw hits about a 50% damage increase over Elune’s chosen in ST. Easiest way to fix
Lunar beam does 500% increased damage from current. But now damage is split between all mobs hit. (Hits guardian druid dps in very large pulls a little bit but makes up for it in ST, keeping M+ balance about the same while letting guardian druid be… not terrible for ST.
This doesn’t make up for the flaws of DoTC:
I like it.
Itd be be nice if ravage actually procced outside of incarn. When i tested it I was actually only getting like 1-2 procs between each incarn.
The lunar beam change is nice but DotC should probably get something to prop up its aoe to keep them both viable across content types. Maybe 1 garunteed ravage on entering combat with a 20 second ICD or something to give some reliable aoe damage and threat on pull, since threats looking like itll be a problem next patch.
It really does need a spec tree overhaul though; Remember when blizz said they were gonna move talents made mandatory by hero tree to be more accessible in the spec tree so it wouldnt be as limiting to build diversity, and then did that for pretty much every spec but bear, lunar beam as capstones and leaving pulverize in the samespot without any buffs to make it remotely desirable even with the hero tree.
Making the keystone ability of a spec, revolve around RNG is not a good thing. I’d much rather it be changed into an every 3rd raze/maul or something. Or based on rage spent, anything to give a little more agency on when it comes up and is usable.
Someone else already said it, but dotc also feels squishy compared to moon bear, and is more susceptible to running out of things you can do to not die. The shifting part of it is neat, but in practice is a lot of effort for not enough payoff.
You only shift in Raid while not actively tanking in DOTC and never in M+. I know the Cat/Bear glory days were supposed to be reborn with DOTC but I really do wish they would rethink the Hero talents to just make it a bleed spec. They could have thrash apply rip’s to targets while in Bear form (rage builder) and have Maul/Raze proc into a Ferocious Bite (s) (rage spender).
