…b but, why? The only thing this does is make me feel useless in M+ while i watch other classes nuke stuff with no aoe cap.
Like why cap swipe? Swipe is so weak… My aoe rotation as a feral is ferocious bites.
Don’t get me wrong i love big bites as much as the next person but for aoe? Come on. Its not rewarding at all when i see other classes demolish me in aoe.
I feel like a hindrance to my groups for simply not just being boomkin. Please do something for feral aoe.
Primal Wrath isn’t capped. Enjoy
Primal Wrath is uncapped and my absolute favorite to cast. Grab the Apex Predator legendary with that and you have perfection.
Yeah swipe/brutal slash feels terrible on the aoe cap
I truly laughed out loud at this.
Both Thrash and Primal Wrath are uncapped and a good majority of fights doesn’t consist of more than 5 mobs anyway. Shouldn’t be a problem.
I dont see the problem honestly. Feral AoE is very good in the right hands, even with the 5-target cap on swipe.
Btw nice name 
I’m not usually top dps in AoE when running with a competent group, but I don’t feel useless. I generally keep primal wrath up and use my free bites on whatever the top prio target is.
It’s served me well.
Edit: also, the “Incessant Hunter” conduit syncs well with Primal Wrath (gives rip damage a chance to refund energy). I use it with the conduit that increases the TF damage bonus.
I’m having some success running PW and the circle of life and death legendary for higher keys. If mobs live for 11 seconds, I think it out performs Apex Predator Cravings. I still use APC for tyrannical weeks, though. Feels good.
Idk what kind of M+ you have ran yet but with the one with tanks having like a 700 and beyond IO scores. They arent pulling 1 pack at a time. They literally are pulling 2-3 packs at a time, equaling around a average of 7-8 mobs at a time.
Which is why i get asked all the time “Are you boomy?” Then immediately get declined.
But hey we all experience the game differently this was just my 2 cents.
Had that a few times as well. At that point it’s better to host your own key runs.
while I agree Boomy does some insane uncapped aoe right now im thinking they are asking you more so because they would rather ranged then melee, most of the mechanics and affix really suck with melee in group. Feral is in a pretty decent spot as far as aoe damage is concerned and really only swipe is capped, both thrash and primal are uncapped aoe. Iv done up to +10 on mine and did really well numbers wise but I cant speak for keys higher then that yet.
The higher you get the more apparent the problem is. Yes i am aware of thrash and Primal Wrath being un capped. Yet they are our two weakest damage in the details.
Solutions:
Sure rip is up there but the actual output from Thrash and PW initial damage could use a slight buff in damage.
If not that then just take off the hit cap with Balance Affinity. If the feral chooses that then our swipe should be un capped. It would not break it or make it but honestly fix the aoe issue in high end keys.
PW’s strength is multi-rip. Yes, it’s initial hit ends up being only 5-6% of your overall, but that’s really not the point. Too much increase there and it truly pushes BrS out (without buffing BrS)
Hmm, on a different but related note, what if Scent of Blood also uncapped swipe?
Truly open to any way that would open up swipes hit cap. It’s that minor change that just evens it out for Feral.
