Is feral viable in Mythic + and raids ? I can’t decide between feral and Boomkin . Just wana do good single target and aoe in mythic + and not let my team down . Also want to be strong in world 1v1 rares with 3+ MIll hp for solo’ing . Any advice would be much appreciated , thanks

I was Boom last two tiers but now I’m feral. I’m sick of just hard casting sf and ls over. And over. And over. Whereas feral is ultra mobile. And pumps serious aoe and sustained. Less utility bc of lack of trees and solar beam, sure, but predatory swiftness is a nice substitute for constant instant regrowths and instant roots. And honestly…feral in visions >>> balance. Burst aoe combined with mobility combined with instant roots is just too good.
I dunno, I’m druid main for 10 years but reaaaaaalllllyyy tired of hard casting two spells over and over.
Also a deciding factor is rated arena, which I do a lot of. Balance is arguably the worst dps spec for 2v2 and especially for 1v1.
Whereas 1v1 there are few classes that can beat me, including uhdk DH and ww. Very high skill ceiling for feral 1v1 and 2v2 but so worth it.
Balance 1v1 is a complete joke all xpac. So sad

So now you’re going to spam one spell over and over (shred)? 
I mean… you’re comment is… not super helpful but not entirely wrong i guess. Every build/spend spec has only a few if not one builder.
Feral contrary to your comment has rake, thrash, swipe, shred and possibly feral frenzy. 5 builders each situationally important, and 4 spenders (maim, bite, rip, primal wrath). Granted to your point, you use shred more on single target raid I’ll give you that. But you still use half a dozen builders/spenders. That’s a lot. And with respect to raid/open world/pvp/mythic, your priority of building /spending can vary wildly.
Compared to that level of complexity…balance is a clown spec. There is no variability in building /spending depending on pvp/raid/m+/world. You alternate ls and sf, and dump starsurge. It never changes. Ever. EVER. Regardless of content. Your rotation is so shallow and simple, across all content, relative to feral. You cant even debate that.
Also to my original point, not only is it so basic with no variation…on top of that you need to stand still and HARDCAST that stuff to get decent dps.
Balance spec needs way more depth slash a complete rework.

I have way more fun in raid as feral.
Dps is comparable on bosses since there is plenty of time to get dots rolling.
Running BT you can get a snapshot on everything and maintain fairly well on a few bosses.
It breaks the monotony of demon hunter dps in raid, and when I don’t feel like healing.
Whoops I hit delete instead of edit on my last post. Blizzard doesn’t even give you a “are you sure?” lol Anyway…
By sf you mean stellar flare? I had a guildy tell me in M+ he was trying a strat where you cast stellar flare on all mobs he saw some steamer playing. I was kind of confused how that would deal good damage. He didn’t touch my DPS and I was just using a more standard build with empowerment cleaves, VOP + SS playstyle and Twin Moons.
Is this sf playstyle viable or even recommended? I guess I am really confused at how that build, as described to me, does good damage at all. I would guess it requires an extraordinary amount of haste for all the cast times?
Both are great given that you have gear and the proper traits/talents. I prefer feral because of its potential to do insane AoE (on-par with demon hunter) or very solid single target. Unfortunately one of Feral’s fallbacks is there is no in-between. You’re either an AoE build or single target build.
I prefer AoE build in m+ runs, and have been pretty successful with it. Was running keys +15 and up last season.
Hope you find what suits you.
Whoops I meant sw, solar wrath. Sorry was drinking last night! XD
Stellar flare I’d only use for: tyrannical bosses in m+, 2s arena against a double dps and you have a healer partner, and raid cleave fights.
Aside from that you should be avoiding stellar flare like the plague…not sure what that streamer has been smoking

I played Resto/boomie last season was fun. If you play solo with pugs both okay till 15 after 15 balance gets accepted more. I do more dps as feral. Find a guild or make own key, both great I personally think feral is more fun.
Play all the specs and just main 1.
I do this and main boomkin, especially after getting the BIS boomy trinket from the raid.
Druid is amazing because you can really do it all.
Feral is still really good, just lacks some group utility compared to boomy. Dmg and healing are both still very strong.
Feral big brain, balance smol brain
