I’m sorry, but it’s time to nerf Feral Druids

Oh look another Pupz sockpuppet thread.

You’re right that this won’t get much traction, and for good reasons.
:axe:

Show us the numbers. Please do. Because all the “numbers” coming out of phase 1 said feral was going to scale well in Ulduar and it turned out to be complete garbage. So please, show us.

90% of the people crying about feral are probably just buying loot in GDKPs anyway so I don’t really understand why they care? Actual guilds only have 1 feral, if that, and they’re happy for that cat.

Believe it or not I don’t want Ferals doing poorly. I’m happy for them to have a small buff but getting chair lifted to glory like this won’t end well for Feral. The degree of the buff was clearly bigger than expected - and I don’t trust Blizzard to not overcompensate the other way when they fix it.

Ah yes pretending that the complaining is really just because you care feral.

I think my comments have been pretty correct. You play Feral so your bias is understandable. Feral being imba doesn’t negatively impact on me personally at all. I don’t compete with feral for loot or anything really - good on you.

But this isn’t long term good for Ferals or the game as a whole. It’s pretty amusing though how far off the Blizz dev team can be.

Which you solely base on your theory that feral will at some point in the future scale too much. Kinda hard to take it too seriously.

We do, its been theorycrafted by multiple people and sources since wrath launched, we were bottom DPS for the remainder of the xpac if something wasn’t changed.

Sure - a small buff would have been perfect.

Feral wasn’t bottom before the buff. If they just wanted to make the spec less jank, they could have done it without massively buffing it.

But got a nice buff instead, and it’s also perfect :slight_smile:

Looks like feral druids in here RPing like old WOTLK flavor of the month class changes. “It is completely warranted, other classes have X, we do not need a nerf!” Bringing back those fond memories, thx all

Druids being buffed so both their dps specs (out of a total of four spec choices) eclipse both warrior dps specs, in utility as well as damage, is ridiculous.

I like how feral brings the debuff of arms and the buff of fury while also doing as much damage as an assassination rogue. Not to mention brez and innervate.

Yeah well it’s supposed to, that’s as it was predicted by some private server Andy months ago. Blizzard are just restoring Feral to its rightful place. /s

WoTLK is meant to be when hybrids play out their revenge fantasies on Warriors from Vanilla Classic lol. So transparent.

I didn’t like Blizzards justification for the Ret buff but it was pretty well implemented to be fair. It was balanced.

This Feral buff though is a joke. It’s properly April fools. It’s like a Dev made it as an April fools joke and the others didn’t get he memo.

It’s not an issue because it will get rolled back, I have no doubt. But people defending it are just hilarious. It’s a living meme as to why the community can’t be trusted on class balance.

What do I care actually, more juicy feral buffs in every raid. It’s completely balanced. /WINK

You have yet to explain why exactly Feral being slightly below Unholy DK and Assassination Rogues for single target damage for the remainder of the expansion is unbalanced.

The Ret buff is almost identical to Ferals by percent damage increase and will probably be even bigger for them in ICC.

Is it because Ferals single target damage in ICC bis is no longer worse than Furys if you ignore that Fury has the best cleave in the game?

we are on the retail changes train now. Who’s gonna be next?

Stay tuned next week for more changes that’s bound to piss someone off.

"But I get why you want to be OP - who wouldn’t ". Sorry to disapoint you bro but warrior will not be the only op class on p3 anymore…

are you really sorry?

I’m just comfortable I won’t need Blizzard to chair lift me into the spot lol.

Honestly I’m not expecting Warriors to be near the top in ICC and I don’t mind that. We’ll be good enough.
