Can’t tell if serious or not.
It’s still a ghetto spec compared to every melee that’s not frost DK or enhance. Fishing for precog cyclones while sub rogues just dance and stun the whole team waiting for someone to trinket so they can solo them in a duel.
In BG Blitz, I’ve turned the tides of many small fights by stepping back and healing players other than myself. This un-nerf will make that playstyle even better.
But overall, I agree… feral is in a terrible spot in any pvp setting other than arena.
It’s especially terrible in arena, like 2nd to last.
Lacks damage, lacks survival (this helps some, but it needs paired with 10% buff to armor in cat and a second charge of survival instincts). Cyclone is amazing the 10% time you can get it off. Fishing for precog feels terrible as a melee standing still trying to cast while your HP yoyos between 100 and 30% and dealing with all the micro cc on top. Just about every other melee has instant cc and better damage/survival. Enhance is the only other spec that feels just as miserable as feral does in arena right now. Frost DKs suck also but at least feel marginally better than trying to hard cast as a melee.
Most of these pvp changes are good or decent.
Really? Even this one:
Clothes are going to get obliterated in half a global now, instead of one.
I find it quite amusing that as feral, I have about 65% mastery in pvp gear and my DoTs still tick for far less than my RANGED warlock and aren’t much stronger than other melee classes like fury warriors that put DoTs on me.
Assassin rogues I can understand… but feral bleed damage should be higher than many other classes that don’t even have DoTs as their main source of damage.
On average, my rips are ticking for 9k to 11k and my rakes from about 12k to 14k. These are non crits by the way.
With such abundant increase and health pools, combined with the nerf on trinket bonus to main stat. You still won’t see many of them when BM is an absolute abomination.
But you also have gigantic repeatable bites
Why can’t they just give MM armor penetration in pvp so they can be good vs plate and not obliterate cloth wearers at the same time
/shrug
Burst - 150K DPS
Add a dash of Micro CC. Cyclone spammed for 10 second lockout, every 30 seconds.
Healing - “I See you’re suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Here’s a paper towel and some tape. Bout all I can offer because I can’t do anything but watch from inside a spinning vortex”
For the same reason some cloth specs can take more of a beating than plate
it would make too much sense
Destro is also not that oppresive.
Tuning doesnt it needs to be ran into garbo tier.
Hour long queues for rss. No ones playing arena. Been capping in bgs. Now bgs will be completely ruined by hunter rerolls. I’m thinking it’s just about break time
Death, taxes, ua backlash buffs and mm buffs
Now it makes sense as to why they buffed UA backlash by 8% because its getting nerfed by 6-8% so nothing will change. Thats depressing
