I have a bad idea to share.

What if, for about a week or so, feral druids were seriously way over powered?

I wonder how many druids would spec into feral and if I’d be surrounded by a sea of cats.
Cats for miles and miles.

It’d be glorious. Feral gets to shine for about a week or two.
Would be wonderful and hilarious and I don’t even play this spec but I think I’d love that.

Ty all for the updates. Be well.

now you know how unholy dk’s feel all the time. buff us and then nerf the crap outta us. lol

771

So when is ret getting nerfed?

I think you need to buff Rage-Filled Idol. I can still do t8 delves easier on tank alts than my healer main. This idol is supposed to make up for you being a healer, but a tank alt even of a lower ilvl can pull more mobs at once and doesn’t have to spend as much time kiting or healing themselves.

Healers take more damage and spend more time kiting or healing themselves. They also spend more globals healing Brann because of this idol, yet it doesn’t seem to make him do enough additional damage to compensate for all of that.

Also, that idol is horrible when you get the double health buff in delves. It does substantially more damage to him because it’s a % based health degen, but he’s not doing anymore damage. You just spend twice as much time healing him.

We really need an update on the missing items from guild and war banks that have been an issue since the prepatch.

Ah, the BiS trinket WoWHead is recommending for guardian druid?
Void Reaper’s Contract.

That trinket?

Your devs should talk to wowhead writers or maybe rework things.

They have it pasted on https://www.wowhead.com/guide/classes/druid/guardian/bis-gear telling all bear mains to roll for it.

Is THAT why I’ve been unable to find a single upgrade for any curio? Here I thought I was just supremely unlucky and haven’t been relying on Brann at all.

780

Thank you :smiley:

781

just cos its bis doesnt mean it should be on the tank loot table, wowhead can put whatever they want in those bis guides, yes they are accurate but the only reason why that trink is bis is because there isnt a better tank allocated trinket and thats just bad design via blizz

blizz need to steer away from tanks doing as much dmg as dps are in some cases and give them better dmg mitigation trinks + increased threat on ability usuage

Maybe Blizzard should contract out balancing to those that know how to do it, e.g. Wowhead!

784

Are you freaking kidding me??? This is absolutely unacceptable. It took me 90 mins to kill that stupid thing and I got nothing at the end. Everyone who has the achiev should get whatever was supposed to be in it. This is ridiculous.

Yeah, i read that too. I haven’t done it yet but that’s so wrong. I can’t recall Blizzard EVER doing that in the past. Maybe I’m wrong?

It’s like hey congrats on doing this fight you were never planning on doing again but just do it again anyway at the same ilvl to get the stuff you were supposed to get the fist time. I have the achiev, I even put in a ticket where it was responded to that they were working on a fix. This isn’t a fix for people who didn’t get their stuff. This kind of thing legit makes me want to log off forever. Yea, I’m mad.

agreed. This has to be the worst expansion in WoW history. The bugs and non-stop updates are horrible.

I guess Blizzard really doesn’t care anymore.
