Yea I’m hearing it’s more of a qol thing tho as the glyph helped their rotation.
It’s very very minor, post OOC change ferals now have a lot more combo points and all this change means is that they can use bite (a very minor dps increase over just continuing to shred at 5 CP) a little bit less often.
Some lazier players may not even use bite at all, just spam shred and maintain rip / roar, it’s like a 200dps loss to play like this.
super super minor QoL and DPS nerf.
Yea I mean I didn’t think it was huge.
Not sure what munching is, but cool! 
Yea, makes the rotation tighter but barely hits dps unless you mess up
The glyph isn’t much of a nerf, but it gives blizzard a target if they want to tone down just PvE cat druids with a nerf.
If they added a “but reduces your damage in cat form by 3%” to that glyph, they could hit the cat druid DPS without touching bears or pvp.
Just -100 DPS Nerf not enough
Yeah, a bit of a nerf… and now in addition to respecc’ing, you’ll have to swap glyphs between pvp and pve.
Which is effectively the same as not using the Glyph of Savage Roar.
Haters gonna hate.
Let’s nerf rogues by 1000dps for funsies.
They buff Ferals 1k dps for the same reasson so why not? I agree
lol… they should have just left ferals alone, imo.
At least whatever they’re doing is just trolling and being annoying, but not effecting pvp, so meh 
It’s what they did with rets- forcing them to switch glyphs… and should have done with feral from the beginning.
“should” — imo, as stated, they should have just left feral alone. At this point, it’s just trolling. Is this supposed to be “fun” for anyone?

Well, yeah… but they made the change… meant if they were going to make a change, should have been via the glyph switch instead of an outright buff.
Wish they left everything alone but that ship sailed during prepatch.

I mean, I suppose that had they tested it out on a PTR prior to outright implementing it, then that may have been inline with what they stated they were intending to do.
They didn’t though. It’s not as if Feral is too OP right now, but knee-jerk changes is simply not fun for people playing the spec, imo. Who are these changes intended for?
I feel that Feral was fine prior to any changes, and people who enjoyed the spec either were bearweaving or not, because maybe they didn’t care to. Anyway, it’s fun-syphoning to make so many changes, so often.
I feel like they should just leave things alone. Stop trying to “fix balance” because if anyone actually cares about that they can go play Retail, which they have been balancing for 20 years, and must have perfected by now, right?
Yeah, I guess it really did.

They said in the blue post they didn’t like bearweaving, that it wasn’t the play style they intended for feral… hence the change.
But I agree completely. PTR is where they should be testing these changes. Having it go live was a massive mistake. Hopefully they’ve learned from it… but it was a mistake that should have been easily avoided had they gave it a couple of seconds of thought.
Inbe4 he calls you a sockpuppet.
As he posts on his sock puppet.
