i believe they are high on freya which is inflating their stock slightly, cat takes 30% reduced aoe damage, if you pain suppression the druid and he barkskins + survival instincts, he can stay in the exploding lashers and cleave them the entire time, even if they all go off at once he doesn’t die

Well we’ll see. If feral does in fact scale too well in the future I expect it to be adjusted. But at this point it’s fine, and if you complain about feral dps without including other classes that do better dps that is hypocritical.

To be clear - I don’t want a Warrior buff. I like to feel like ‘I’ achieved something. I don’t need or want a chair lift.

The real solution was for the warrior to respec prot and put vigilance on the feral, but everyone rolled prot pally, so this amazing combo didn’t get realized very often. Our threat was just too high having our cat bleeds affected by bear threat modifiers while weaving.
As a result, cats had to get tweaked to encourage mono-cat gameplay.

That’s actually pretty true - the meta kinda locked it out.
How does feral getting buffed make fury any less viable? If anything it makes fury more viable since any raid with a feral in it is now doing 3k more dps and can easily afford to carry a bad fury.

So? You’re also comparing your 4 button rotation to a 3–form-12 button rotation. Feral was overly complicated to parse. Fwarrs are not. Now, if you also had to press 12 buttons, step out of melee range, use range weapon, then run out, do 2 backflips, intervene, tbag and /dance, then yeah, you’d get adjusted too.
and the best part, ferals didn’t even ask for it. Ironic. And no, Im not feral. I’m resto. You’re welcome to check my logs & gl finding a single run as feral.
Says who?
Definitely not the devs. They made it very clear on every single change as to why they made those changes.
You don’t agree with it.
I agree with it.
What gives?

My takeaway, make good friends with your guild to secure a spot until Shadowmourne lol
Look honestly I do not care if I am topping DPS meters, if I’m doing mechanics and doing my rotations and priorities correctly I’ll do enough damage and people wont think I’m a sh!tter. 9/10 classic andys will not give a damn if you’re a warrior instead of any of melee just as long as you have gear, exp, or show skill. Warriors do not need a buff, and they won’t get one so dont delude yourselves into expecting one. If ICC rolls around and warrior dps is still mid low tier maybe at that point but we’re not even there yet. We’re at RUMORS of a release date on TOGC so hold y’alls horses and temper your expectations.
Because class strength is relative to each other and raids have finite spots for players, particularly when they fill the same role.
Prot pallies being so strong is a big part of why the other tank classes are viewed as weak. Any tank can clear any content but if there’s a spec that’s much better than yours, well good luck finding groups.

I’m a thorough enjoyer of people claiming some specs are hard and others are not. Let’s give you a full bis warrior and see where you end up on WCL, eh? Just a blue-purple Andy, probably.
Literally 3 button spam.

Explain why reducing feral’s complexity of rotation resulted in a dps increase then.
Let’s put rend in berserker stance and give us a 15% dps increase, that’d make as much sense as the justification for the feral buff.
Even after the change feral has more buttons, buffs/debuffs to worry about that fury. Its not even close.

Yeah that’s not true at all.
Warrior was always bottom tier dps until armor pen scaling in icc. The game is much easier now than it was 10 years ago. Having meta comps is not necessary
Im pretty sure most raids run a fury warrior.

If you missed all the news on the topic from today … you’re probably up to date.
Feral un-nerfed and then buffed.
Bear threat stayed and flower weaving is back.
The dps nerf was reverted.
