because feral has no utility outside regrowth
1 Like
This line of thinking never makes sense to me. Have the devs said this is their reasoning?
Classes that canât heal have other very powerful ways of saving teammates. DK has friendly AMS/AMZ/Blind/Grip/Chains, DH has Incap/Stuns/Darkness, War has Fear/Intervene/Duel, Disarm, etc. Even healing specs donât actually save anyone with off heals really itâs just big cdâs like life swap or bop. Basically everyone uses heals for self sustain yet hybrids get the worst ones while âpuresâ mindlessly heal themselves for more (and I do mean mindlessly as they usually passively heal or itâs off global while hybrids use resources/rotational globals on them).

Yes they do, but it clearly isnât enough they are doing pretty bad one of the weakest specs in PvP. Making Feral healing strong is perfectly appropriate, hybrid healing should matterâŚ
Iâd rather have Feral toss a heal than be KS into CS into gouge into disarm and essentially not play the game for ~15+ seconds depending on whatâs in the arena with me.

I just look for meaning in the madness. I donât know if theyâve said outright they want it this way, but its clear from their actions that hybrid off healing is meant to be relatively weak.
just casually pretending feral canât do the same thing with their own stuns and cyclone.
What they should do is do things to increase build diversity. ex Maybe they could give feral the guardian honor talent grove protection
Ok yeah I wouldnât doubt it. I was just wondering if it was something they openly addressed at some point.
Closest they came was in 10.1.5 when they changed hybrid mana pools and nerfed some dps->healing talents. It was primarly for a pve context, but it did have pvp ramifications as well.
Our goal is to allow for more continuous casts of utility and healing spells while maintaining limits on how much hybrids can contribute to healing
Yeah that was just recently and almost felt like it was directed at devoker. Mine was bombing fat living flames all day before that change. rip
Itâs funny that they still think regrowth needs to be reduced at all in pvp lol. Why isnât it just unmodified.

The feral druid hidden passive gives a 75% bonus to regrowth. It being reduced by 43% in pvp was actually making it unmodified.
I only played devoker in pve so I didnât have any numbers at the time for the other hybrids, but yeah it completely ruined our self healing and off healing.

The regrowth buffs are pathetic.
For feral to have meaningful buffs. Survival instinct needs to last longer or have 2 charges like it used to. Thorns needs to be a serious DISINCENTIVE to been attacked. Thorns currently doesnât do anything meaningful, melee still plow into it like no tomorrow.
Castable regrowths need to literally do double what they do now.

see, ferals fine and blizz agrees.
Youâre not fine tho
When are they going to buff your profile from being hidden? I hate to see players being shielded away from their community.

qq bud qq. feral is fine you just have to play the game for once
Canât take you seriously - Hereâs why.
You believed ferals had 2x frenzied regens from previous expansions.
You still think bleeds are undispellable.
You think a feral spending 30 seconds to top off 850k hp with approx. 22 regrowths is good.
So youâre either a balding boomer from classic or youâre just jaded and mad about the game. What exactly are you trying to achieve on these forums? I have nothing to offer you but question your immaturity on the forums.
