Can someone tell me what exactly does a feral gain from this talent? I would expect some instant, non gcd shapeshift into cat form when i press shred, even if i’m in the middle of a gcd, but it doesn’t seem to do it.
I had previously macro’s like:
/cast [stance: 1] Cat form
/cast [stance: 2] Shred
Which would shapeshift me into cat form when i’m in bear (stance 1) and casts shred when i’m in cat form (stance 2).
So what exactrly is different with fluid form, because I do not feel it?
Doesn’t it mean shred, does both shred AND activate cat form?
So instead of having 2 global cooldowns, one for shred and the other for activiating your form. You save one global cooldown?
If not, it would be a rip-off to cost a talent point for sure.
EDIT: I tested it in-game, and for me it saves 1 global cooldown activating cat form when pressing shred.
For PvP this is a huge game changer, especially with the synergy from ‘Druid of the Claw’ Hero talents, also for PvE I guess. But those Hero Talents aren’t available yet.
It has several bonuses that reward you for frequent switching between cat/bear post level 71+.
You get the ability to still get an attack in as you shift, so no dead space in-between where that global usually is. Will be quite useful in various scenarios no doubt, probably ruined a few people’s macros though but sure it won’t take long to work those out.
i kinda wish they did it with Feral Frenzy and all of the off gcd abilities like Charge, Skull Bash.
And if they removed the weird Gcd of off dash and stampeding roar that be great.
it’s a wasted talent point because it is something we should have baseline,
but to answer your question, after u spend 5 years in bear form, doing nothing, just because druid “has good defensive cooldowns”, instead wasting two gcds for a shred, u can simply put shred outside of your cat action bar (bear form action bar or action bar 2,3, etc) and pressing it would activate both cat form and shred in only one gcd
I very much agree that powershifting should be baseline, at least for feral.
Feral was always the super mobile melee but lately other melee has been catching up to the point feral is, in some cases not the most mobile anymore… Meanwhile feral has gotten its mobility reduced hmm
