They need more than the sorry changes you offered.

There’s a hybrid tax on druids??
Cause they are a strong healer in pve. Strong feral or heals in pvp.
Do people think the tax is because feral isn’t as good in pve?
You don’t need every spec to be strong in every aspect of the game to be considered a strong class. Even single-role classes like mage can’t just pick any spec for their one role of DPSing.
Should we also be talking about an element tax for mages doing DPS? Because I can’t use fire in MC/BWL, and I can’t use frost in Naxx.

Shaman are the only ones being shafted so far, Paladin and Druid are incredibly powerful in P1.

Feral DPS is going to be strong, my guy.

As someone who plans to main Druid i think all 4 specs are looking pretty solid.

I think mages need a mirror image tanking rune. that way we can heal, dps, and tank just like druids.

hunter isn’t a hybrid. they can’t tank, and their pet can’t tank more than one mob.
What role can hunter fulfill besides dps?
i theorize hunters will be top deeps in SoD
30% crit and 25% damage will definitely go a long way.
Agree, there should be no hybrid tax.
Should be as only DPS.
if it can off heal, i don’t care, it doesn’t deserve top dps, not in any game, unless everyone can heal. runes and talents don’t count, if you can heal with class skills alone, part of your class is support. druid is the true hybrid of all hybrids, you better believe they’re gonna get taxed

Well if their pet has a real taunt it may actually quite useful to eat bursts from bosses.
Even if the pet dies, holding a boss for a few seconds and eating a big burst could really make a big diff in some encounters.
So if you have a few hunters plus some real tanks - you can probably cycle the taunts in a nice rhythm.
But maybe that will never be needed / reliable, who knows 
? Feral is already a great tank and even decent dps, boomkins are great in pvp too with feral being near mandatory for wsg.
Their healing is a bit weak since hots don’t stack but other than that what do they suck at?

Agree with your overall point, just want to nitpick that people usually flag run in a mostly resto build 
- but feral charge is important part of it.
Feral is going to be the meta raid tank and you can’t put balance on damage parity with mages or warlocks because then they’ll be atrociously OP in PVP. Resto is already strong for pvp and will be better for pve, you just can’t stack them as much as other classes. If anything druids are one of the strongest classes going into SoD.

this is actually a legit question. I think they’re the only ones that’s pure DPS. They need to be #1 dps by a long shot.
druid is the only class that can tank, heal, and dps. if they’re on par with everyone else, then might as well have a raid full of 40 druids. You don’t see a problem with that?
