They NEVER get the chance to even be a class. Why not just rework them entirely? Why not remove Feral druids from the specialization. It’s extremely frustrating that they’re literally only good for a few weeks every expansion. And that’s when people have 0 gear and it’s only in PVP.
The new tier set bonus is garbage. There is literally no bonus to it, I might as well raid in my Dungeon gear. Boomkin was bad for what, a couple weeks before blizzard went crazy and decided to buff them up? But feral. They don’t get touched. Rogues, they’re constantly in favorites with their buffs. Never see substantial nerfs to bring them out of the top dps charts.
There are always buffs and nerfs going out. But feral druid literally doesn’t get to exist. They get a “buff” and it’s either reverted because it’s too big. Or it’s to abilities like Barkskin. Gee thanks I can now soak more damage but still do 20k in 440ilvl.
You’re either a god at the spec, or you don’t do any form of dps. Might as well be an off-healer.
Why is blizzard intentionally leaving that spec out. Why are they consistently the worst DPS in the game. Why can’t they just buff them in small increments instead of dropping a 50% buff and nerfing them cause the buff was too big. Just give them small increases to abilities that they actually use. Not ones that are for defensives.
Rant over ty.

From a heroic raiding and 20-21 (pretty easily) M+ PoV, I disagree. Often in raids, I’m toward the top of the charts when parsing around 80-90% (which should show I’m no expert compared to others lol).
The only change I really wish they’d make to feral is to make Innervate and Rebirth castable from cat form. I’m getting tired of being the only spec that gets punished for using some of our best utility

Then please, help me out. I’m not sure if it’s my rotation or what. But I just can’t figure out why it’s so difficult to play this spec compared to everything else in the game.
And if you’d be okay with it, please explain the benefits of the tier set bonus? Why is it good, ebcause I feel like it’s pretty bad…
Agility is always a strong stat for us, so you can’t go wrong with a passively ramping agil buff. You add in some free combo points with it, and it’s solid. Not exactly as exciting as some other specs, but it’s solid (and definitely better than dungeon gear)… I guess unless there’s a massive ilvl difference, but I’m assuming we’re talking similar ilvl range.
I would assume a majority of your problems are coming from uptime on bleeds and cd usage. Keep in mind the feral also doesn’t have a good build to cover both single target and multi/cleave. It’s usually solid ST with bad multi, or strong cleave/multi with below avg ST.

Are there any decent Weakauras for feral? I can’t really find any for uptimes and stuff. I usually do pretty well with keeping my bleeds up but at the cost of getting ferocious bites.
I have both builds for ST and Cleave ( for dungeons ). I’m not sure about ym CD usage. It’s been awhile since I’ve been able to properly play feral so I’m definitely rusty but. I don’t know what it’s rotation is anymore. And if there’s any kinds of Macros that are essential. But my feral is pretty low Ilvl (just picked it up again) So it’s a bit biased because I know my dps will be higher but, I can pump 110k without trying on my fury. And burst 220k so the dps gap is demoralizing
Can you post your druids name? I’d like to see your armory, etc

Its pretty much a 10% aura buff. Thats fairly substantial.
Your talents are severly lacking. Im not sure what your content focus is, but you’re missing Primal Wrath for AoE. Missing out on Brutal Slash for both AoE and ST, and no apex.
Must be set up for 1v1 pvp? Should still have Apex and BrS though.
Aside from that, it could boil down to misuing resources as screwing up your rotation takes a minite ti bounce back from.
