Feral Druid Adjustments Coming Soon - April 3rd 2023

Why on earth would trap weaving need to be “fixed?”

Hard disagree for survival hunter.

You didn’t actually share any thoughts about the thread topic, just put in your own “my class next” post. lol

So, no post about the stealth nerf to the naturalist talent in the talent tree? Huge implications for PVP and bear, let alone for cat. Did it occur to the game devs that bad cats had nothing to do with bearweaving, but with poor rip/sr uptime? Because that’s all it was.

Thanks all the FOTM re-rollers flocking to the smallest meta change when some of us have been playing this stupid role for 4 years.

This, 1000X this. Instead of a bandade fix that’s now cascading into PvP and Tanking, how about Blizzard reassess the Feral cat dps change specifically.

You could easily extend the cooldown on Faerie Feral (Feral) by a couple seconds and get a better effect, or even glyph the thing so that it doesn’t ever interfere with any other content besides PvE.

This was just pure laziness and rush without a care in the world.

Blizzard, absolutely horrible decision. There’s so many other options available and you chose the worst path.

Tbh, just make savage roar and ferocious bite refresh the duration of RIP and call it a day.

Instead of fixing feral DPS, you made things worse.

Are you high? Warriors were near the top even in T5 content without glaives. Ya know you can look at Warcraftlogs and see it. Here I will help you… https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/zone/statistics/1010#dataset=95&region=3

It’s fudging unreal that you’ve managed to ruin everything so well.

Just literally revert every single fudging change. All of them. Sorry, tough spit ret paladins, you’ll just have to deal with being bad. Blizzard can’t be fudging trusted to know what the fudge they’re doing.

As a bear tank, I’m confused as to why my threat and dmg needs to nerfed to compensate for Cat druid DPS. Am I going to be given a flat dmg increase for bear or at the very least an increased threat modifer?

What’s up with the Naturalist Nerf?!! This is a nerf for PvP (I thought we weren’t trying to do that?)!

If we are ready to cross this line in the middle of a season can we please do something about Hpal Sacred cleansing, War Wall with 2her macro, and OverPower Overwhelming Assault?

Please blizzard make the Naturalist talent change pve-only. If you are going to dive into making pvp changes please make quick changes to egregiously over-tuned talents and abilities that make the pvp meta much more oppressive, such as UA from warriors or sacred cleansing from paladins.

So you guys stealth nerf Naturalist by 5% which affects pvp while the buffs you gave only make a difference in pve?

If they could tune abilities and talents for PvP and PvE independently they would. Either it’s impossible on this weird version of the game or the “dev team” can’t do it or it’s simply not cost effective.
There is no easy way to revert this either because post-buff feral IS overtuned and scales way too well, but at the same time the only real way to fix this is reimplementing it as a glyph, perhaps with a cd penalty to FFF.
It is however funny that people didn’t see this coming from a mile away.

Why not just increase the cooldown of feral faerie fire in pve to like 10 seconds? or make it a 50% proc chance for omen? Nerfing a talent thats going to affect bear threat and pvp is going too far in the wrong direction

FFF CD increase would nerf Bear threat.

Hello blizzard I am writing to you today hoping for a response. Please do not make pvp changes unless fully diving into other pvp changes that would make arena combat more enjoyable. The naturalist talent change should have 0 impact on bear tanks or pvp, and making pvp changes to this only does not feel like a good change to the game.

Huge -5% nerf to Bears DMG/Threat. In PvP and PvE

Did you guys get milk drunk on breastmilk? What’s the reasoning here?

THIS! And if not this, just go back to the original change and tune THAT somehow.

How do they go from carefully making changes within respectable parameters to this nonsense written up with a crayon?! It goes against everything they told us, so blatantly.

The initial change was exactly “nonsense written in a crayon” with 0 foresight and not even a single thought about scaling, not to mention raid composition balance.

Hey blizzard it is me again. Please help. Make this pve only or make more significant changes to eles, hpals, and warriors in pvp.

TY xo <3

Although I completely disagree with this stealth nerf they technically didn’t word that they wouldn’t nerf bear or pvp.

“ It was also a goal to not increase the effectiveness of Feral in PvP, “
