Still needs a class tree rework, though. Too many dead/unused talents, no real synergy with any of the spec trees.
Feral is mediocre in what way?
I heavily dislike that any melee range was removed from attacks, but other than that, pretty ok. This slow playstyle with feral is going to take a little getting used to, since it was spam city in DF.

Thatās fair. I wish we had more range, but I think theyāre in a solid spot. Definitely need to improve the bloat and while others will disagree, I really do like the slower pace.
Iām currently chalking it up as being undergeared as well, but, yeeesh! Regrowth is a joke right meow 
(Iām also a boomie)
Thank goodness for frenzied regeneration!

Keeper of the grove actually slaps in pvp. Toss out trees and cast 3 (or 4 wrathās if talented) and dream burst hits like a truck. My one issue is the trees either donāt hit hard enough with now fully honor geared for around 36.5k or they just donāt last long enough with being slow not able to reach targets.
Either they need to hit harder or last 15 seconds.
The other change is Blooming Infusion needs to buff the regrowth for balance Druid by 20-30% to make it feel like a worth while talent. They clearly wanted to make it feel like feral combo point spending to get a free heal, unfortunately, regrowth is a rather weak heal. This change would be an absolute plus for balance Druid.
Havent tryed boomie since the prepatchā¦ it felt too squishā¦
Feral was ok but for lvling guardian felt betterā¦
Dungeon i did guardian only and had a good time (dps pushing isnt problemā¦ i take it as a invitation)
Regrowth, Barkskin, and Renewal all need buffed badly.

The unrealistic expectations & transition from MoP Remix & flying through dungeons to every pug tank thinking they can fly through xpac dungeons with a HoTs healer just makes this not fun. Probably going to cancel my subscription. 
Druid flight form in steady flight slower than mounted speed
Canāt gather in the air and have to be grounded now
Balance still crap
Yeah, awesome patch for druidsā¦

Druidās been my main since Legion, Boomy specifically since Shadowlands. Not going to beat the dead horse more but yea design and play style wise the spec is dogwater.
Was doing the world questing and completing events and felt a bit slow a lot of the time, if not a struggle just doing stuff solo in open world. Brushed it off as whatever, new expansion, hit 80 and only partially geared right now (567ish).
Swapped over to do stuff on Ele alt and this was the first time I realized the difference between Boomy and an actual spec. I was bursting stuff down, doing just as much dps as Boomy at a lower ilvl. Popping cdās and shredding through elites that struggled with as Boomy (pulling 3 of them when I was nearly dying pulling 2 on Boomy).
Yea, I can see why all the long time Balance players are jumping ship.

Iām currently ilvl 577, and even as Balance (which I switch to for WQs), I ask my mate for help in World Quests and all, heās a Havoc DH simply because he pulls everything kills everything so quick and never really even gets dangerously low hp.
Balance is in need of help, itās a struggle for sure.

Or you could just switch to bear and pull the zone without fear of dyingā¦
Iām not saying balance doesnāt need adjusting. It just baffles me when people complain about things they already have the tools to fix.
While these are certainly valid gripes, as an old school feral druid, Iām quite liking TWW so far. DOTC is just silly for solo content. Getting back to the slower pace is really fun for me.
Out of everything this is my biggest gripe. The lack of range feels so much worse on Druid than any other melee I have played in TWW (DK, Shaman and Warrior). There was a reason Feral was given the range long before any other class/spec got it. The hitbox is just a mess.

Same experience for me. My Ele is a great deal more fun to play.

Iām having a lot of fun with Feral in outdoor content. Yes, itās squishy and the heals suck. But you can use Moonfire (talented) to pull mobs, you have tons of burst with Brutal Strike, and I like 1-minute Convoke. Itās a great spec if you do not mind dieing occassionally.
I found success running DOTC for outdoor content, putting up DoTs, then hanging out in bear to let the DoTs do their thing.

Absolutely, it needs to be adjusted.
Ferals arenāt super bulky to begin with, obviously. The lack of range and the dungeons not being super melee friendly cause an issue.
Just need to hope it gets cleaned up.
