I’ve been a devout feral ever since switching from resto back in TBC. Came back to the game in August after a 2 year break, lasted a few weeks as feral and as a last gasp attempt to find a reason to still play the game, I went Guardian for the first time ever.
Never known the spec to be so useless (PVP that is, can’t speak for how it is in PVE). The ratio of squishiness compared to the damage you put out in the same time is literally insane and the talent trees are headache inducing.
Kiting is a thing of the past as you can’t get away from anything any more and it seems like pretty much everybody else has all kinds of get out of jail free cards while feral defensives are as useful as rash cream for a shark bite.
We’ll have our day in the sun again, when the cycle comes back round and some other class ends up the one in the shadows. Why it always has to be like this I’ll never understand but that’s how it always has been.
