Remember the days when everyone had a feral alt or main because it was a fun class, not so complex without cope bear weaving, and also did great damage vs other classes? ,
It’s clear phase 1 of feral druids in cataclysm is horrible without the glyph
Most people that actually enjoyed playing feral druid in end of wrath ended up quitting or picking a different class.
Now you only see druids that enjoy their hard class with a mediocre damage vs other classes.
Is history repeating itself for phase 1 from wrath and into cataclysm?
And also , why is a energy based class forced to bearweave to do slightly more damage and still be mediocre. Incentivize the player to stay in cat form like it did on wrath during phase 2 , 3 , and 4. You know, when the highest population of feral druids existed in wow classic.
Let’s bearweave , leaveweave, thornweave , sooo fun!!! mediocre damage is such a great way of rewarding the player from doing the most.
feral dps had always been horrible, tbc had its moments but we needed a bag full of 100s of mana potions and a level 40 helmet. Clearly a janky spec that was not working as intended back then
wrath we only did well due to devs’ incompetence
why not buff arcane or something else with 0 people playing it. feral is one of the top 3 specs in pvp and still sees decent play in pve. There are 10 specs played less than Feral in pve, why not cry about those
Wrath it was very popular and enjoyable after the buff , class was top damage , so no it hasn’t always been horrible.
The class wasn’t forced to be bearweaved and was very enjoyable with the glyph change
Why feral over the only two other classes that are worse ?
Blood dks have an melee unholy spec which is #2 in damage ,
Frost mages are #1 if they simply switch specs to a similar range spec
For ferals you are forced to switch to a different class if you want to play a melee dps class, blizzard was also opposed to bearweaving in wrath which only creates issues
Feral is literally one of the most complex hardest class in the game and the worst performing melee class in the game
All we’re asking for is for the complexity of the class to actually bring results in terms of damage
Just bringing back the wrath OOC change as baseline seem pretty reasonable.
It’s not a huge DPS boost but it would at least bring kitty from worse than pvp specs to at least on the bottom level of other DPS pve specs and removes the jank of bear shifting. And has no pvp impact.
If they dont change the feral druid class to perform better they just need to delete it from warcraft logs and make it a tank class only
IT LITERALLY doesn’t belong to damage classes the way the class is created, the game is literally forcing you to bearweave or join a raid where you are forced to tank if you want to competitively raid
Delete cat spec as a whole if you dont plan on buffing the class, rename it to guardian if you have no plan for actually having a decent damage feral class that can be competitive with the other melee classes
I like how the thread title suggests your solution for a complex spec doing mediocre dps is to just remove all the skill expression from the spec.
You know what, Fury is too hard to do good dps, you know, with needing a full set of gear with mastery on it to snapshot for death wish, they should just boost the death wish modifier to whatever I would get with full DS bis mastery so I always get that bonus.
Feral doesn’t deserve buffs after the balance disaster that was Wrath Classic. And the Feral community deserves nothing after sending death threats to the devs over both nerf attempts.
Enjoy being on the bottom, y’all truly deserve it.
Because ferals lie about how many binds they need in the first place
The rotation isn’t any more difficult than anything warrior has done for the last xpac or this one, but mr chatgpt article likes to claim he still uses every spell in his spell book because I guess nobody else in his raid can provide the bleed debuff or FFF for him.
And let’s be clear, you should already have FF bound so I’m not sure why you think it’s “one more keybind”
