BT got a massive nerf. (It only gives us 50% more damage rips, threw a combo that makes no sense. Not having the 25% more damage rakes/bites will destroy the class. Not to mention that regrowth took one gcd. Rake,shred,bite takes three, and the bite will be 4-combo point at moist (assuming the rake and shred crit). The only benefit I see is with Primal Wraith.

Removing SI, kills us in arenas/overall survival. Were going from two 50% damage reductions to one 20%. How does that make sense?

Some Ideas. Hunters getting kill-shot back, maybe give us Ravage?. Or with Rouges getting slice and dice give us savage roar as a baseline.
Would love to hear some other people opinions. Right now all I see is feral’s running Incarn, moment of clarity and spamming shreds into some low damage bites.

I think we agree with you, no doubt, but feral is so underrepresented we basically gave up complaining about it. Blizzard has literally 0 idea how balance feral, you can tell by the BT extremely pointless and bad changes, changing to horrible feral sounds etc. I think all the feral old timers have essentially given up.
all they need to do for SL is: keep SI, feral frenzy baseline, revert BT and then feral is back on track

If by back on track you mean still in the bad position it is in BFA without any unique utility then sure. The fact they are giving every spec stamp roar and not giving Feral anything in return is the biggest issue imo. Give us LotP or innervate at least. If Boomkin can give you both stampeding roar and innervate while doing equivalent damage then why bring a Feral Druid?
Also removing survival instincts is a terrible idea. 2 50% damage reductions to 1 20% is a massive nerf.

Feral needs much, much more attention than what you’re claiming…

Looking at the alpha spec changes it definitely seems like nerf for feral in pve and pvp. Like what is the point of even removing SI for Barskin. Makes no sense
