after that “nerf”, i think its a safe time now to reroll feral.
i was queing at 2150 today and 95% of the teams i faced had a feral… these are similar numbers to the retpocalypse.
with how many people stream feral, it will be quite easy to learn. I mean, pika was brand new to feral and in 2 weeks bro win the awc because he rerolled lol.
I think this is the first of a few nerfs most likely. Its good to see the door has been opened on it, but im also disappointed that they didnt get completely deleted from the meta via a big one pump overnerf. with this approach they might actually be properly balanced and continue to exist.
Kind of funny how DK gets 15% taken off multiple damage sources and Feral is like “you get healed for slightly less”.
Most people aren’t pikaboo lol. But yea man sounds good, do it up, good luck.
Or the favourite “nerfing bite damage by 20% but buffing rip and take by 20% to compensate”
4.5% damage nerf during 1/6 of a match though. feral is in shambles
They seem to be immune to any meaningful nerfs or changes. Maybe they will put them in the dirt in Season 2…who knows.
Confirmed Dicromick and pika on the same tier!
Feral was nerfed into the ground, everyone jump ship…lol
Can you send a screenshot of this?
Feral definitely OP and v popular and the “nerfs” really arent gonna knock it down (still insane unholy gotna flat 7.5% damage nerf and feral loses 5% damage on incarn only).
However, I’m really NOT seeing feral in literally 95% of games, nor is it winning 10/11 games into non feral teams (not yet anyways).
I agree on the DK part, but going from 20% bonus healing received to 9% is pretty significant. Hope it’s enough XD
just qued my first shuffle lobby, easy 6/6 in honor gear. win in 30 sec every game lol. my feral already feels better than my dk main of 7 years
its like u have an answer for everything, a stun for everybody’s dr, a clone to prevent anyone from getting value from their cds, perma root breaks off gcd with power shifting.
and insta cast roots. man i thought chains was broken. but nothing stops a priest pushing in to fear ur healer better than a root. they just sit there and look dumb lol.
and on top of that, u have dk level dmg(with more single target and less pad).
actually insane
It’s crazy. It’s almost like we didnt need to give dk a flat 7.5% nerf on top of the other hero talent nerfs and MAYBE giving the class that has unnerfed kidney shot compensatory sustained damage buffs in response to burst nerfs wasn’t necessary 
i think the main reason dk fell off was because our scaling was terrible. i think our stat scaling isnt as good as it used to be since they nerfed mastery in season 1 SL(pve reason)
our dots don’t scale with haste.
and crit, even with pvp 50% mod in mind, is also really bad because sudden doom makes coil crit guaranteed.
and then u add in our 4 set, which literally(not exaggerating here) reads:
when you summon a minion, your haste is increased by 0%, up to 2% for 8 seconds…
lmaooo
and then you have feral with what i think is the best tier this season, increaseing bite dmg by 22.5%
add in the 7.5% overall dam nerfs(when it wasn’t even the strongest spec at the time), and yea dk just isn’t much of a threat anymore.
also the specs that are queing really abuse the fact that dks have pets, i believe sp gets more insanity from pets, feral gets bite procs and increased healing. just yikes from all angles.
the only comp that feels good rn is bm dk, but thats because bm just does illegal dam. not sure what that will be like when its nerfed
oh and last thing i just remembered lol, warrior is getting buffed xDDDDD
or rather, unnerfed. but anyways, dk bout to get smacked - my respects to those who havent rerolled
I think it’s partially this.
A big part this.
And also this.
Dk and fury warrior are both examples of why it’s important to wait to do tuning patches.
I understand it feels frustrating to get blown up in. 2 globals by reck + avatar + of.
I dont like dying 100-0 while my healer isnt in cc to a dk.
But classes aren’t designed around honor gear or not having tier, and it’s so frustrating to read post after post about “NERF X CLASS BY AT LEAST 50% AND REMOVE THEIR CC BUTTON” when you see it catch a 4% nerf and fade into complete obscurity when people are fully geared.
It’s blizzard, waiting for people to pay for boost for feral, then nerf it and buff least played class, rinse and repeat. Everything they do is for $$.
If it wasn’t feral it would be rogue.
If it wasn’t rogue it would be dh.
It’s ferals turn. Everyone needs to get over it.
This is such a poor mentality to have. It shouldn’t be anyone’s turn, the goal should be a balanced game. This mentality just encourages poor balancing and the problems were facing now.
Domt worry they will get nerfed snd compensated somewhere else like the last two or three “nerfs” they got. Laughable devs
I get lobotomized eveeytime I read the same slop comment “its their turn to be op yaaas”. I wamma know what causes people to be like that. Are they lunchly consooomers? Are they incubator babies? Too much lean? Zaza? I have no idea
