Feral still could use M+ DPS buffs

Classes Druid

Appreciate the recent buffs. Just send the PW and RF ones again, maybe revert TOW to a higher percentage conversion, and feral will finally be a real dps in m+.

Ret was already one of the top DPS options for m+ and their buffs roughly equaled feral’s. Both specs were roughly a 5-6% gain in m+… except ret already did upwards of 20% more damage overall, so in absolute gains the gap widened between the top specs and feral.

Hope to see something come around in season 4 since I assume Feral is stuck at the bottom of the barrel for the rest of season 3 now.

Felt the same way. I could not understand what Blizzard was thinking buffing Ret, when they were already doing so much damage and have so much utility and survivability. Feels like the Feral buffs didn’t do much. Feels more like a burden than fun to play Feral at the moment. I miss S1.

how is it childish? every other druid spec brings everything to a group that feral does along with doing a better job at the role than feral can. and this is going on for what 15ish years? if thats not hate than the word doesnt exist

I’d suggest you go outside your house, read a book, watch the news, or experience life in general to learn what hate is more accurately.

It’s childish to assume horrible motives of people you don’t know.

unless something outside,book new or something else in life has to do with the game all of that has nothing to do with what were talking about. you dont even know what your talking about. theres different forms of hate and different ways to show hatred. maybe u should go out side read a book or watch the news because your views on things seems to be very shallow and lacking. its childish to talk about things like you know what your talking about when you really dont

Sure… but you choosing to playa victim is not Blizzard showing hatred lol

…alrighty.

Not to be a snob, but it’s hard to lecture someone when you don’t realize outside is one word or the difference between your and you’re.

Unless English isn’t your first language. Then I take it back.

must have accidently hit a space while typing it. the fact that it annoyed you enough to say something though is hilarious and well worth the accidently hit of spacebar

11

but i didnt choose to play a victim. i ditched my druid for something that is more fun than the spec i like. also if it isnt hatred its incompetence which looks worse on blizzards part

You’re more than welcome to try to balance 38 specs for each of the hundreds of spells, hundreds of abilities, hundreds of encounters.

I’m sure Blizzard would love your help.

considering how well they have done it in the past im sure i couldnt do worse. also i dont have to balance all 38 since that would mean im balancing every single spec and as far as i know nobody works on every single spec. i would probably have to only handle 10 at the very most but more realistically 3-5

14

Then how are you going to know what the other specs are doing and how much you actually need to balance them?

See, it keeps getting a little more and more complicated every time you mention something.

i take a look at warcraft logs. i dont need to balance every spec to see how other specs are doing. i can do that right this sec without even working for blizzard. but what i can do is i can fix some problems feral has so that its at least in a better state than its in now like fixing pathing in the tree or redoing the entire class tree since its such a mess and really does feel worse off than every other classes class tree. its not a little more and more complicated. also i can do that magical thing called talking to the people i work with for any info i dont have. your making this out to be 4d chess when its chineese checkers at the most

This would be great if everything was just black and white and the top runners weren’t constantly changing positions on the leaderboards.

You can’t balance just by looking at numbers lol. Different numbers based off different fights and different talents and all that fun jazz. You’re trying to over simplify the difficulty of balance

So I do agree with your assessment that dubbing feral’s problems as hateful doesn’t really make sense. But pulling out spelling mistakes as a way to try to discredit someone else’s argument doesn’t do you any favors for sounding convincing. Unless the topic is on use of the English language, it will almost always (if not always) make it seem like you ran out of ways to dispute the argument at hand.

I definitely agree with you about the complexity of balancing WoW, but it does still raise eyebrows when the same specs find their ways to the top or bottom of the charts on a regular basis. And to be clear, there are other specs that also sit in the basement frequently so I am not trying to claim feral is the only one. But it is still frustrating to want to play one of the specs that is consistently near the bottom while certain other specs consistently find their way to the top, and most specs trade places with one another in the middle season to season.

Ok…but I wasn’t annoyed. I just assessed you as someone not worth heeding because you don’t communicate well.

I mean…come on.

I agree…sorta. When all I have is your character profile and your text my options are limited. When I can see that you can’t communicate well that heavily correlates with your level of intelligence with various caveats. More intellect people tend to have better thoughts on average. So if you have a profile with nothing lending credibility, you think nameless blizzard employees hate without evidence, and you don’t have a firm grasp of your primarily language…why should I take you seriously?

I’m not trying to bolster my credibility and I’m not making bold claims that would require it. I also don’t want to be grammar police, but it’s one of the few data points I have on these forums.

Would you claim that someone’s ability to communicate has no relation to whether they are worth listening to most of the time?

Here’s the problem with this scenario you’re trying to concoct… You didn’t have a single issue understanding the point(s) they made. Which makes your above statement meaningless and a deflection at best.
