I know theres going to be a lot of stupid replies to this saying thier fine or that I’m a troll. So let me start right off by saying I don’t care about your stupid replies this is for blizzard devs to consider.
Here is my justification for asking for druids to be improved.
I have a 120 of every class except for rogue. Most are around 450 ilvl or above.
Here is what I would like to see improved:
Tank spec - have a hard time with aoe agro, the cool down on the aoe thrash is way too long and its the only ablitiy druids have for aoe taunt. It makes it very hard to keep mobs off of the group.
Healing spec - the heal over time spells are just not powerful enough to keep people alive at end game, here is an example - we were doing nyalotha with 3 resto druids and 1 paladin and the paladin was blowing us out of the water in healing out put. I recently ran a time walking dungeon and it was almost impossible to keep the group alive. We barely made it. On the other hand if I play my monk healer I can keep everyone at 100 percent health with out even trying…
Cat form - I don’t really play dps much, seems ok I guess.
Moonkin form - seems very clunky, not my cup of tea…
So if you can look into this blizzard devs and help druids out it would be appreciated. I guess until they are better I’ll put my druid on the perverbial shelf…
This exact post was up a few weeks back. Like, verbatim. It leads me to believe this is a copy pasta troll. That being said:
I’m sorry, but this is literally a git gud situation. All of the druid specs are in a pretty good place right now. A bear tank is in the top 5 right now for all tanks; resto druids make up well over 35% of all healers in m+ right now. Balance druid are fine.
Feral is literally the only one I would make an argument for, and they are technically fine it is a perception problem not a class problem. They are actually performance wise fine.
Resto druids aren’t raid healers. If you can’t keep your group alive in a 5 man with the strongest dungeon healer in game its a you problem. Somehow plenty of ppl are pushing 20’s keys with them yet you can’t even complete a lfg. I assume you have no idea how to play them and could easily look at your parses and expose you.
124 Guardian Druids have killed Mythic N’zoth. (And 1 of those killed it on his Brewmaster for prog, then got 1 kill on his Druid just to parse, afterwards.)
Bear tanks are the only tank class that does not apply a slow to our enemies.
We DID, from Vanilla through Legion, but then Blizzard took it out through incompetence and hasn’t bothered to add it back again. Nor are they adding it back in Shadowlands.
Instead they added Honeypot Pie, a food buff that slows enemies that hit you.
They’re going out of their way, at this point, to keep Guardian bad.
This is a misuse of statistical data. Popularity does not = power potential. Tomoboar proves that by being in the top 5 as a bear.
Druids are A tier at worst. Not every class is going to be S tier every patch or expansion. Druid were S tier back in legion for awhile until they gutted them in nighthold. You’re being dramatic.
Talk to Death Knights and Paladins then. They are arguably in a far worse spot in M+ (not sure in raid). I know I am being a bit contrarian here, but there’s a lot of over dramatization about how bad certain classes are that is beyond reality.
Bears can and do compete in every aspect of the game. There are currently classes that outperform them, and are more popular, sure absolutely. Does that make bears bad right now? No.
Kind of a bad way to start if you want people to take you seriously.
But yes. Druids need love and I’m personally in suspense waiting for the devs to release Druid class changes on the alpha.
Bear: spice it up, make it great again.
Cat: make bleeds matter and the complex rotation rewarding
Boom: haven’t played it this expansion
Resto: would be nice to toy more with tree shapeshifting outside the glyph and ability Cooldown.
And Death Knights, too, apparently, since 1,451 of them have killed Mythic N’zoth. But bear is dead, dead, dead last.
Tell us again how awesome the dead last bears are.
Right, because the world’s best players are just STUPID and don’t understand which specs are better than others, right?
Tomobear proves that anybody who spends a gigantic amount of time in M+ with the same team is going to do well, since doing the exact same thing every run is more important than anything else.
But he’s the new favorite for non-Druids, just like Lipkiss used to be helld up as an example of how Druids were really fantastic.
Until raider io did an interview with Lipkiss and he said, no, actually, bears are the worst tank in the game and need massive improvements.
And then all the “See? Lipkiss proves bears arent that bad!” talk just kinda died off. How mysterious.
