Remember all those posts about the “sad state of feral”?

This ones for you , kid.

Feral’s punching above it’s perceived weight in the first week, coming out strongly especially on fights with heavy single target. The last minute change to convoke the spirits which inflated the value of the covenant heavily, combined with this the Berserk changes in Shadowlands gave feral incredibly high burst, competing with some of the best burst in the game which is a nice bonus on several of the fights where damage amplification effects come into play.

I’ll be honest, my conflict so far is coming from liking feral and balance both enough that settling down into one os hard… like, cat is just so much freaking fun…balance is so much freaaaking fun…occasionally tanking or healing is just a joy…I love druid.

Fun to see cat pulling those numbers lately too.

Yeah. I may be switching from priest to feral because:

  1. Resto=super awesome fun
  2. Both DPS specs are fun, although I do not like the new eclipse. to the point of this thread, feral has been a blast during leveling.
  3. I like their the DOT/HOT legendary that is good for all 4 specs. And I really like the PvP vendor legendary that is easy to obtain.

I LOVE my priest, but I apparently have to raid to get the legendaries that are good. And that’s not likely happening.

I don’t know the maths, but Druid is looking good so far. AND, travel form works in the Maw=OP

Dude, travel-MOUNT form works in the maw. Tested it with my priest friend. Feels goood.

I probably wont raid much either, too busy for committed raid slot. …think we can (fairly soon) just pug normal for that all-around leggo drop? I kinda want that thing…

To be fair, they re buffed convoke at the last minute.

Not that I’m complaining, I’m gladly eating crow over this new development.

So is feral good baseline, or is the borrowed power that they received good?

I hate the new bloodtalons. I thought the old version was wonky garbaggio but this one is even dumber.

Both

Aka convoke is going to be nerfed because it is OP, these numbers will not last. Feral still needs damage increases to bleed damage to stay relevant.

We are up there due to convoke, the current feral feels clunky and our single target is just terrible, felt so energy deprived.

I, for one, welcome our ferally overlords.
It’s about time they were the actual leaders of the pack.

When Kyrian makes just as good of numbers over the same duration, how is it OP?

Population size of number of feral druid? and 95 percentile? not sure about this

Its not it’s a matter of the spell being too op. It just plays better with fight mechanics. burn phases, increases damage taken… etc.

That is certainly one way of looking at it. It would seem that Feral abilites actually do good damage, it’s just that energy regen is currently what previously gated their dps. Turns out when you can slot in something to do in a window where you otherwise wouldn’t have something to do, you gain damage.

Crazy how nature do.

Some people think that it don’t.
But it do.

looking at the numbers it’s tough to say as the sample size of feral is extremely small.

Being top dps says nothing about the gameplay though.

In my opinion: fun spec > high-end DPS spec

Also it’s performance is extremely sensitive to fight length. In a 15-30 second encounter it’s gawdly powerful. Drag that fight out to a minute fifty and you better be using it in the right places are we can drop off the face of a cliff quickly.
