Feral DPS have a completely different build/spec than Feral tanks. Since Feral DPS are not defense-capped, they cannot serve as Off-Tanks (OT).
Simulations are a tool; they show you what’s possible when all factors align, which isn’t always the reality.
That’s like using parses to belittle other players rather than utilizing them for their intended purpose as a tool.
Simulations are what you do with them.
The only thing that’s “perfect” is the fact it’s simmed off a target dummy.
The gear is the same and the rotations the same.
Your skill level factors into what can be done with the class, Feral will be A tier.
You’re literally beating casters who have a legendary lmao

They can still offtank even without those 2 talents. Yes they will be a squishy tank that might get crit, but even dps focused feral gets survival instincts. They take about 20% more damage, have a 6% chance to be crit, and still have a strong defensive CD, taunt, etc.
They are not the most ideal tank at that point, but still far better than most other options.
They will still have high dodge chance (agility being the primarystat which gives dodge), high mastery, high haste, etc.
Im not saying they are as good as a true tank, but they are efficient enough that they can still do it.

Lol the idea of not being Defense capped and receiving crushing blows? Indeed, it seems like a sound strategy.
Additionally, many feral druids who off-tank often have a completely separate set of gear; I certainly do.
My bear set is gemmed and enchanted with tanking in mind, while my cat set is geared for DPS, which means it has significantly less survivability.
Crushing blows is a chance, not a garentee, but its far better than a hunter, mage, warlock, dk, etc that is full dps focused gear and talent wise.
Again, im not saying dps feral is an amazing tank, but of all the dps, and being focused on dps for talents and gear, it is the best off tank.
Especially for adds fights that only need a second tank for 10 seconds or so at a time as adds are typicallly lower than 3+ levels and crushing blows and crits sre drastically reduced.
Most of what makes bear tank work is in the baseline feral tree that even dps ferals take.
You miss out on 2, maybe 3 talent options. Vs say a DK not specced as blood is missing a dozen important talents, doesnt get blood shield mastery (ferals still get their mastery toward their survival as well, even as dps focused) doesnt get most of their defensive CDs while feral gets its major defensive CDs still even as dps focused, etc.

Feral isn’t getting buffed, especially with any of the crazy stuff you come up with.
They are moving into A tier next phase, there is a 0% chance blizzard buffs them now.
And i am fine with feral not getting buffed.
My point was if they got buffed it would need to be in a way that nerfs some of ferals utility aspects.
If you don’t want parses to be used against you, then play better 4head
Look, another person with no logs running their mouth as if what they say holds any relevance.
Hello pot have you met kettle?
Lol someone is mad because someone posted on a sod char with sod logs? 1+1 doesnt equal 3!!!
At least I’m posting with a character that’s at max level and has raid logs, not hiding behind a level 10.
Red is Alfavhunter.
his logs are worse than mine and he plays a good class/spec.
Thats not how logs work.
Its same class and spec vs same class and spec, not feral vs hunter.
I am also being very casual and not caring about my parse.
I do the mechanics parts of fights on my hunter, im not aiming for 99s or 100s.
Of the few times i have actually tried to parse i got 2 97. (Not heroic, my casual guild isnt going hard for heroic clears)
I regularly switch to adds so others dont have to, and on many fights, the add damage does not count toward your parses or they take drastically reduced damage due to being stacked.
Many globals going to MD, dropping a trap, etc.
