Lahlania brings up a good point. I, much like Lahlania, have grown attached to the current shred build that feral has to offer. Runnung Moment of Clarity with the vision of perfection major essence and 3 stacks of wild fleshrending has created a very much viable shred/swipe spamming build. It’s not very difficult to play, it can seem boring to most, but I find it to be incredibly immersive. I enjoy feeling like a true king of the jungle pouncing and ferociously clawing and biting my prey with upfront in the face burst damage.
I whole heartedly understand the love and nostalgia for blood talons with big bleed damage that everyone seems to be advocating for, the immersive feeling of being a wild animal that plays with its prey, slowly bleeding them dry. I too enjoyed that playstyle many years ago, but due to how the game has evolved, I don’t think DoT damage can be what it used to be.
The main point I’m trying to make here is that it’s important to have more than one viable playstyle available. I would love to see both a viable blood talons build focused on bleeds AND a moment of clarity shred focused build. Two totally different playstyles, each having their place in the game.
