No? This one has a ton of problems.

  • LotP would never be 5% (3% is the threshold for raid buff) and it would never stack with MotW, so why does it exist. I’m all for Feral getting some kind of party utility, but this isn’t it. Not to mention it being a capstone makes it required so why are there other options at all.
  • 4p tied to Incarnation for some unknown reason.
  • Berserk still split for no reason.
  • Enabling self-healing based on Bite damage seems kind of outrageous.
  • Savage Roar turned into a fire and forget maintenance buff (which is the same complaint people have about Sabretooth and Rip).
  • Claws is required as long as it has the Vers attached to it.
  • Symbiosis should stay dead as it is a total nightmare.
  • There’s nothing about Displacer Beast which is “druidic”, it’s a yoinked Mage ability.
  • Giving SI to Balance/Resto seems totally outrageous.
  • No GCD on shifting + Retaining Bear HP/Armor means you’ll just have a macro to shift between Cat/Bear every 4s to maintain the increased HP permanently - that’s (A) bad gameplay and (b) totally overpowered.
  • lol giving every spec Tranq

Like, there’s a LOT of problems here. There’s a ton of things to like (bringing back a ton of stuff from Legion is very nice), but let’s not act like it’s a “copy&paste” because that’s obviously wrong.

I don’t think that symbiosis is a problem, at most I would say that they change it and make it like the Kyrian pact but in its original state (which gives a permanent 10% to the druid and possibly so that it is not broken but it is not as useless it provides instead of 3% of 5% secondary stat). In this way I would return “symbiosis” in quotes but as a support

I don’t know I’m seeing many mistakes there. Maybe it’s fine for you since you seem to be doing only LFR as per your profile.

Not really. It should come back, perhaps receive some balancing but it is one of the fun druid buttons they ever added.

So ? We should be the kings of mobility. Who cares if one of our buttons looks like another class button.

I would love to be able to use all my buttons while tanking keys. Maybe it’d be broken in the class tree but I could see it in the Bear tree. Keep your armor/hp/ironfur stacks for a couple of seconds outside of bear, so you can apply rip/rake or cast cyclones/roots/heals then go back bear before getting one shot.

Shapeshifting roots as a tank in keys is almost non-existent unless you time it with mobs swing timers. Which isn’t doable if you’re tanking a pack of 10-15 mobs.

? That was the justification the person in the linked tree used for adding it.

Again, not at all the context of the linked tree (it’s not even Guardian).

We were for a long time. Then they gave all of our advantages to rogues for some reason. So, if we are to be the royalty of movement, then remove the extra speed when running and not losing speed when in stealth.

There does not need to be new talents for it.

I actually really miss this. I can remember having to find opportunities to do this while tanking. It was also much weaker until we had HoTW. Bring this back imo lol

plz give us insta clone back

In TBCC, I have done this again. Including playing clutch healer using it in Kara. BREZ, Tranq and then going back to bear to pickup from the other tank.

Exactly. It’s not the same now =(
