When are Gdruid buffs coming?

First of all, most Guardian Druids aren’t really all that concerned about how Guardian Druid is doing right now, in patch 8.3,

Hello sir, the forums for beta are over yonder. These are for live. You seem to be lost.

@Barespanks-emerald-dream

the lack of a slow

Monk and warrior can maintain 100% uptime on their slows, but only 20%

Paladin doesn’t have a baseline slow

Bdk can slow one target at a time, or up to three in their D+D

VDH has no baseline slows.

I’m confused?

@Barespanks-emerald-dream

magic damage mitigation

You mean that thing that all tanks struggle with, by design, along with bleeds? Right.

@Barespanks-emerald-dream

tank identity

You need your class fantasy in order?

@Barespanks-emerald-dream

spell casting

What.

@Barespanks-emerald-dream

Guardian Druids are only doing OK at the moment

Read;strong

@Barespanks-emerald-dream

and this largely because of azerite traits, essences, and corruption effects - all of which will be going away come SL.

You mean that thing that will affect literally everyone bar none?

@Barespanks-emerald-dream

do you realize why Blizzard implemented them in the first place? It’s because Guardian Druids were not doing OK - they certainly were not “Strong.”

Typically buffs are given to those that are not strong. I’m glad you reached this momentous conclusion.

@Barespanks-emerald-dream

Guardian Druids have been underperforming all BFA

All of BFA? It’s really strange, that people have continued to play it in higher level content, and it’s become notably more popular as time has gone on.

@Barespanks-emerald-dream

The time for band-aid fixes, patch ups, and crutches in the form of new systems is coming to an end. Something has got to change. The underlying issues need to be addressed

This sounds like how nearly every spec is talked about in class discords.

@Barespanks-emerald-dream

is to do your research first before opening you big yap and tangling with the bears - unless you like your uninformed opinions being mangled and mauled to death unceremoniously.

So you can chill with the fetishistic roleplay crap.

Something tells me I’m significantly more informed on how bears perform.

@Skruffles-thrall

we lost the AoE Cower effect which many people preferred.

Anyone who preferred intim was objectively wrong. That’s not a matter of opinion, ursols is flat out better.

@Skruffles-thrall

Ironfur stacks is a fix, not a buff

I’m aware of that. I have to wonder if you even understand what it was fixing.

@Skruffles-thrall

Nothing else on that list has any impact on the issues presented in the multiple threads here. And nothing on that list is a “massive buff”.

None of it has a major impact? Alrighty, scale it back to Uldir, and compare how bear performs in a vacuum, then to now. The difference is pretty marked. Almost as though, it’s never quite as severe as people make it out to be, and simple fixes are typically all that’s needed to perform similarly to others of the same role.
