Druid class tree is terrible.
Druid feels a lot weaker compared to Shadowlands. The class tree exists of too many talents that should have been baseline, too many bad talents and too many talents that are just missing.
Should have been baseline:
- Each spec’s affinity
- Cyclone
- Innervate
- Hibernate
- Soothe
- Stampeding Roar
- Primal Fury (Feral baseline)
- Improved swipe (Feral & Guardian baseline)
Bad class talents:
- Lycara’s Teachings, should have been a 2 talent node
- Well-Honed Instincts, should have been a 1 talent node placed near the top of the tree accesable for all druids
- Verdant Heart, does not seem to increase Frenzied Regen healing, could be replaced with Well-Honed Instincts
- Heart of the wild, CD too long
- Protector of the Pack, needs to store more % because currently it ramps up too slow
- Nature’s Vigil, make a choice node to passively heal/damage just like the monk Diffuse Magic/Dampen Harm 10.1.5 class nodes
- Ursine Vigor, just bad
- Improved Rejuvenation, bad because Rejuvenation healing is bad
- Wild Growth, has to switch places with Remove Corruption
Missing class talents:
- Convoke, Makes more sense to have this in the class tree. Most other classes got their SL ability in their class tree as well. DK abom Limb, DH Hunt, Hunter wall hack, Mage Shifting Power, Paladin Divine Toll, Priest Mindgames, Warrior Spear of Bastion.
- Incarnation, and not split up in up to 5 different talents s.v.p.
- Berserk/CA
- Soul of the Forest
- Circle of Life and Death
- Adaptive Swarm, and please change this ability to fit the druid fantasy more as well
- Ysera’s Gift, Resto druid only as of right now, used to be the restoration affinity, instead got replaced by Natural Recovery, which I dislike
- Oath of the elder druid: Effects of Thick Hide, Astral Influence, Feline Swiftness, and Ysera’s Gift increased by 75%. When you shift into your Affinity’s form, you gain Heart of the Wild for 10 sec, once every 1 min.
Make it worth shapeshifting again, that’s what’s being a druid is all about. I tought these new talent trees were intended to give us more freedom of play, not less. I feel I had more freedom of play when I was bound to a covenant in SL.
Please rework, thank you.
