they are awful, all around, nobody wanted this, nobody ask for them.

Seems excessive - but you will have so many people cheering for Hunter nerfs and then cry when their class gets nerfed it is hard to care. Shadow priests also got nerfed with shadow ward death.. making it do double the damage to yourself potentially vs the output. These changes seem too excessive right before launch honestly.

Shadow priest has1 nerf. Did you see the two page list of feral changes or the twonpageblist of pally changes? Its crazy.
That is kinda my point about excessive changes before launch. Literally the last sentence.
I was agreeing with you.
Read it wrong mb. I don’t know why the devs are going wild at this point. Prot pally needed fixed, I think ele shaman needed fixed… did not expect them to break other classes and specs… that far more than just tuning honestly.
I doubt this is going to happen. I just wish I understood the reason for some changes. They don’t make sense. Honestly even if they drop full patch notes it would tell us nothing, until they address it in a podcast or something..

True. They throw nonsense out to poison the data-miners all the time. The problem is, if players don’t react, then anything that IS intended might happen without player-input and feedback, and we’re too close to launch for that to happen.
Rogues, shammies, etc…other than prot pally, nothing they broke needed fixing in the first place.
Should have used thst time to actually fix what was broken.
Feral was gutted when they removed tigers fury and added shifting power. I’ve seen about 90% negative feedback about this. If berserk is actually gone, gg.

I didnt play with shifting power too much. I was mostly in bear form.
ive come to the realization its a bad sign when I see other classes getting the axe. its def better to buff other classes to be as good, rather bringing them all down to the same lvl
The FB change is a buff. Naturalist change is a buff.
At level 60, you will have all the same functionality and more damage. And Berserk is likely baseline, not removed from the game. Even if it was removed, its an overall buff.
You want buffs removed. /facepalm
The podcasts have been a giant nothingburger. They use it to say exactly what they want to say and address none of the actual concerns of the community. I had such high hopes for the dev team this go 'round. Im still playing for sure, but much less enthusiastically than I was when it was announced.

I highly doubt berserk is baseline. If it is then I will happily eat my words.
Even then, “powershifting” was something ALL druid could do in vanilla. Now it requires 31 points in feral? Thats fkin WILD, and that alone is a huge nerf.
Furor still kinda sucks.
Swapping furor and hotw is a giant nothing burger of a change that was not necessary as hotw was in tier 1 anyway.

Well, if all else fails I still have 2 other MMOs to give my money to. We will see how it goes.
Powershifting was stupid, and is an adjucated topic. It does not belong here.
Your huge nerf logic is just plain asinine. In either iteration of the talent trees, at level 60, you will have the exact same abilities, now with more damage. Yet you invent some perceived nerf in your head that is pure fiction, to justify your feelings…apparently related to Powershifting. /facepalm

Little chance they leave Druids in that state imo… regardless maybe a lesson for those always crying for nerfs for other classes… as what goes around comes around.
This is Blizzard. They’ll leave it or make it worse.

I mean they fixed Prot pally, they will tweak Druid more. Not like they don’t have access to sims themselves.
