It does, not only it does this , but it doesn’t affect PvP.
It also adds a button that you have to keep in consideration during the whole fight vs not, may not be a big deal, but when looking at thousands of ferals , you will notice which ferals do press it consistently at the right time, vs the one’s that forget or do it too late, or at the worst times.
Stop using the PvP excuse that has ZERO relevance in PvE content.
I agree that it doesn’t affect PvE content, but in fact it also doesn’t affect PvP content because it only works on non character players.
You can’t get mad while ignoring the fact that although most players play pve, if blizzard did made improvements to feral, they would most likely wont make a change for feral druid in a way that buffs it’s pvp side.
To summarize FFF glyph doesn’t affect pvp balancing.
We are on a legion build so with that being a fact blizz could implement changes that only effect PvE and dont effect PvP but again the devs are lazy and dont want to do this!!!
They don’t need to, you will have a huge buff once you get t12 heroic gear.
You’re going to be A tier, you should be happy.
Mono cat is the proper fix, the damage isn’t the point here.
If you have to bearweave to do optimal damage , then the class is wrong, blizzard stated this.
So then don’t weave.
It’s like the non melee weaving hunters complaining.
It’s clear bad class mechanics. That’s not an optimal solution, the class clearly is not working as originally intended. Your saying having to wait 4 second to press a button because you are oom during the whole fight is a good class mechanic.
This is blizz referring to bearweaving " As always, we are hesitant to make major adjustments to the basic playstyle of many classes, but we feel that this is necessary to bring the gameplay of Feral Druids much closer to the intent from the original Wrath of the Lich King and make the spec slightly more intuitive and approachable to the majority of players."
Not only druids lost this change ,but also got a nerf on swipe by almost 300% , it used to be optimal on 3+ targets , now you need 8+ for swipe to be optimal, since it cost energy and doesn’t create combo points. We also lost the guaranteed hysteria. And on top of that, the class has been bugged since may launch.
Again it’s people who can do something extra are complaining about it, then just don’t do it…
It was no different in TBCC with hunters who didn’t want to melee weave…
Yet in wrath melee weaving stopped because of a trap change for hunters, again, bad class mechanics.
You’re saying this while contradicting blizzard’s original statement, that tells you your opinion is more likely wrong, bad class mechanics can’t be used as an excuse for punishing non sensical techs to remain competitive.
For the same reason they changed traps in wrath, ele t12, warrior thunder clap and balance druids in the start of cata , as well as hit for ranged classes and hunters auttoattacks wa and macros.
I’m not saying buff the class, I’m saying make it competitive without bearweaving because mono-cat is the original intended way of damaging.
You dont see a bommie going bear or troll form mid fight.
Bearweaving is a clear sign of badly coded mono-cat rotation.
No it stopped because meleeing reset your ranged attack
That isnt even a equal comparasion. Go look at my non melee weaving BM hunter in TBC i still parsed oranges
but mono cat will never do as much damage as bearing feral because of the downtime of energy regen. 3 seconds of auto attacking is a loss of dps compared to going bear and dpsing with attacks
blizzard also made early adjustments on trap launcher to prevent melee weaving, the point is bear weaving existing is it’s own issue, we’re in a mono cat post for a reason.
At the end of the day blizz needs to fix feral at the root cause of the problem not throw a band aid on it.
You didn’t play when melee weaving became a thing, you quit before sunwell.
You were already told this numerous times…
There is no competitive,it’s player made.
What’s even competitive about wow PVE?
Parsing is a player made thing.
You don’t like weaving don’t weave, you will still go 7/7H.
Your raid could all grey parse and you will still go 7/7H
Most competitive raids are not bringing a feral druid unless he is off tanking or bear weaving.
If you’re referring to normal guilds then sure.
melee weaving was around in BT!!! What are you talking about?
By the end of the phase?, probably , most raids will not 7/7h until after 1st month.
6/7th is very duable first month for most players, 7/7 is not.
