So I’m curious if the devs have ever commented on the reasoning behind infected wounds going from a 50% slow to 20%. I didn’t play my feral for quite a while primarily because of that change alone.
One of my favorite things about feral in cata / mop was slapping a couple of bleeds on a mob and then just moving to the next one and having 2-4 mobs waddling along bleeding out behind me. Not to mention 50% slow helped a lot with the hit and run play style in pvp. The pvp talent helps a lot there and I don’t mind a 40% slow as I realize feral is highly mobile but 20% just seems like it’s incredibly low. Even 30 or 35% in pve would be great.
Anyway, thoughts? Does anyone know what the reasoning was for the change there?

Until you pull aggro because the mob is slowed and therefore the tank can’t hit it.
Low impact, single target slows range from meaningless to harmful in PvE. I can’t remember the last time I was actually happy I had applied IW to something.

I can kinda see the concern but I don’t really dps mobs on the move all that often esp on my Druid. I normally wait for the tank to gather them up when I playing any class that doesn’t have MD. If I did slap a few dots on em ut certainly wouldnt be enough to pull agro. It’s not like I’m on my war poping spear / avatar / blade storm .
To top it off, we have to waste a pvp talent to get a MEASLEY 20% mortal strike that we have to stack twice first…
DH get an instant AOE 50%

I’m sure this is an unpopular opinion but I would personally prefer my Druid not having a MS effect just because I assume the dmg is balanced around that. I would rather have bleeds that are a serious threat like in cata / mop. A full stack of buffed bleed should require healing / defensive or death in most cases in pvp
