Is feral really as bad as people say?

No it’s not. You won’t be top DPS. Personally, I find ferals doing better in M+s than raids.

Even bear would be better than kitty I think. If you really want to push high keys (20+) u might want to roll Restoration.

It realy depends on what youre doing as a feral if you wanting to do a M+ it will be hard to find someone who will accept you in 15+ keys unless they know the truth about ferals were very strong with an aoe build with a jfr3x and wfr3x and sotf, but in pvp I would argue that we’re the bottom of the food chain, as a feral you will sometimes just go from 80% drop to 20% and then dead it requires a lot of “broken” trinkets and gear to play feral currently although dont let the stigma blind you feral is still very competitive in m+ but people don’t think feral is viable at all.
