I agree.
I liked the old Dire Frenzy in itself. Especially how it interacted with Beast Cleave, giving you more on-demand AoE-capability through your pet(s).
But the constant maintaining of that Frenzy-buff was/is just annoying. I mean sure, technically it adds a slight increase in difficulty when in combat. But you will with a guarantee end up in situations where you have no choice but to drop it due to running out of charges. It’s at those times where it becomes…less fun.
Not to mention now in BfA when Bestial Wrath is on the GCD, so by the time you reach 3 stacks of Frenzy on your pet, most of BW has already run out…
Some players did not like the repeated calls of those wild beasts. But what was good about it in Legion is that we were allowed to choose between the both. Us who liked the beasts and the increased ‘‘freedom’’ of Dire Beast-usage over Dire Frenzy could do just that. Choose…
Who knows what will happen going forward.

#[Suggestions updated] Pre-Legion Survival [4th spec]
If people like the design or not, is up to them. Changed some things based on feedback which I agree, have been for the better.
I hope we can get better balance and design than we have now yes. Though, perfect balance is not achievable. There will always be that one choice which performs better.
