Issue is there are many bears out there riding s3 and s4 gear right now.
and they aren’t the only issue. mix a bear and a DH, and now its party time.
Probably “a bit of both” to be honest
I don’t see any other class/spec getting into a 1v15 during an epic BG while literally winning the fight (the 1 bear wiping/killing/defeating the 15 pugs) 
So it’s both broken class mechanics + high gear
That you Ion?

I expect to hear more about this during the weekend, yall should really think about taking a SS or something when that happen, the damage done alone would prove how broken it was
Show proof that swipe is 1 shotting 15 players. Op didnt starta thread that said ‘hey geared druids are hard to kill, and can take on 15 players and win’
They said swipe is 1 shotting raid group. 1 ability, 1 press.
If Swipe was hitting for 80,000 damage per target, then groups of 5 bears would be doing +40 keys.

As you wish
I backfilled into this (losing) AV sometime sometime last week, take a look who’s at the “top” of the meters with a whopping 80 killing blows… notice something about the class/spec? 
A whopping 12+ MILLION more damage than the next closest “dedicated” DPS class

If he couldn’t die, it can’t be TheStevebear. I’ve seen him dies thousands of time, and atleast 15 times in BGs. Maybe your internet is lagging, and its just catching up 30 seconds of event within a 1 second timefrime. Have you tried turning your router on and off again ?

All that proves is that the other team was filled with undergeared alts.
(Also that people don’t know how to fight bears.)
((Or Blood DK’s.))
Perfect time for the this is fine meme…
Gavel buff. 4m cooldown, lasts for 60 seconds, does insane damage. Leggo gives 25% leech. Venth cov ability also does insane damage for druids. Enforcers grenade trinket, vers buff also buffs gavel damage.
Nothing in this screenshot shows swipe 1 shotting anyone.

hihi, i go over the process here. https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/guardian-broken-in-epic-bgs/1392655/15 tldr in the prepatch, the venthyr ability ravenous frenzy gets extra stacks from new talent system and then ppl conveniently stack up in thrash range.
BEAR IN MIND that its 4 days till the shadowlands systems that make this strong go away, and bears lose their anti-cc on sleeper as well. they should be un-bear-lievably
average again soon.
all they have to do is swipe everyone
usually you dont swipe. you can pre-spread some moonfire for some healing via elune’s favored before you go in, and during the combo its thrash with mauls spread in for Sharpened Claws pvp talent to boost thrash.
Barely logged in since last week, but the last few times I ran into one of the OP bear druids you describe it was Thestevebear haha
Bearly*
Do you have any proof, do you have any combat logs, screenshots, details death/damage taken info.
2100+ PvP gear is much stronger than mythic gear
311 gear is 311 gear. im using a mix of mythic gear and duelist.
you sound fun at parties.
Happy thanksgiving all!

I wish that were the case.
the damage is really off the chart but it does feel a little sus cuz like he has 7 deaths, one with the most deaths in the SS.
kind feels like that maybe he was defending the boss in a EBG, he also dont have the most HK which is weird.
but anyway very sus indeed
