I’m moderately excited for slightly reduced EHP on plate wearers vs physical damage. Probably won’t notice a difference with HP going up about as much as defenses are going down. Maybe help with OOMing healers with more effective damage if the game goes late? Increased EHP from health and armor bonuses on cloth will probably hurt.
Really looking to see if increased HP combined with the slight Frenzied Regeneration un-nerf will make Feral not so flimsy. Thinking about actually investing in Well Honed Instincts. Ursine Vigor might even make sense. I haven’t liked them so far though.
Bear form as a defensive probably still won’t feel good, but maybe it won’t feel quite as bad to do 0 DPS if it provides meaningful survivability vs staying on the offensive. I’ll probably still be looking to see that 0.626 go to a 1 again though…
Feral I think will still be bottom half of melee, but seemingly in a markedly better spot than before.
Certainly the few comps like FMP Feral has done well with are strictly getting better. Disappointed I don’t personally have that luxury of a comp.
Yeah unfortunately my 3v3 team is locked and IRL - DK Disc Priest.
I do see arena logs of this comp above 2100 but I don’t think we have a chance in hell of getting there.
I have plenty of alts and looking to reroll into something functional when conquest uncaps. Devastation for me looking like the most promising thing to gear as the DK is Frost at heart.
I’ll still try to play the Feral a bit though because I just think it’s neat.
after hpriest buff ur priest goes holy and dk goes frost and u just cheese people with dk 1 shot in double blind pillar of frost feral frenzy while priest cross ccs the third target and then chains of ice and run inbetween ur go.
Honestly thanks for the thought. I never really thought about it that way but it makes sense to combine Feral burst with Frost DK timings. I feel I’ve done best as Feral with setups rather than sustained damage.
Priest is staunchly Disc no matter what, but we have gotten him to play Holy once before in Shadowlands. He doesn’t like the play style for some reason though. I definitely prefer Holy to Disc playing it myself.
Maybe Disc still works to provide Dark Arch for even bigger 1 minute burst goes though, even if the CC isn’t as reliable or strong.
still good cuz he has dark arc for every go. Dk grip double blinds----> You stun clone off target-----> u both pop badge priest presses dark arc then pillar of frost feral frenzy and delete them
Well it looks like we’d prefer for you to heal in arenas or flag carry in rbgs…
but I do think feral should get 2 charges of survival instincts and incarn should make you immune to cc, but for feral only… so maybe THEY can be the flag carriers instead of guardian.
