this is a bad nerf. Probably wont be enough damage reduction and it affects pvp.
The perfect nerf would be:
-make the buffed OoC into a glyph
-make it so that FFF always procs OoC on PvE targets and reduces the damage of next ability by 50%
simple, effective, pvp remains unaffected

What the actual F are you doing. Dont toy with us like this. Now you are just making more problems. Revert these past 2 changes and just fix the threat issues. Make cower ability actually usefull and let us just play the F-ing game. Are you even testing stuff before you rolling out hotfixes left and right?

Why not revert instead of further chsnging.
This makes 0 sense. The game was balanced 15 years ago just stop messing with it and leave it as it was??.

Removing bearweaving rotation is a good thing, do not revert anything. There a lot of people who actually enjoy new rotation more. Bearweaving gameplay is too degenerate.
Just compensate ferals with 1.045 PvP dmg modifier buff.
a good thing u say? why shouldnt doing something extra outside of normal rotation yield dps. Its not like you couldnt compete at all withouth weaving. Bad ferals will always be bad.
incompetence on all levels what are you doing 5% dmg off pvp and bears what clown made this holy frik ! do the devs not think before they do stuff .__. 
They dont, thats why you dont cry about your class on the forums, trying to force them to “do stuff”. Well deserved, I wish that wouldve happened to rets aswell.
Here are 2 ideas:
- Implement 4.5% PvP buff modifier to ferals.
OR
- Revert Naturalist nerf, but introduce glyph of faerie fire, which should come in place of [Savage Roar 3% dmg Glyph] (SR-glyph should be deleted, because SR-glyph sims better than Rip-Glyph and all ferals will just replace Rip-Glyph instead of SR-glyph for the new FF-glyph, making rotation more annoying with short rip duration).
([Glyph of Faerie Fire - Your fairie Fire grants you Omen of clarity each time it is casted on monsters.])
But please do not introduce bearweaving back, i returned to druid only because of FF changes to monocat, i don’t want to abandon my druid again because of bearweave returning.
So the solution to bearweaving making too much threat is to increase threat in bear xD … people wont bearweave now for sure if it kills them, problem solved …
Also no need to tag that blue … its just bot reposting topics from US forum, not a real person …
Druid being yoyoed up and down in the span of a week, meanwhile Ignite and Deep Wounds munching remains broken…7 months in?
Thanks blizz.
- Omen of Clarity now triggers from Gift of the Wild.
If you bringed it back because of moonkins, just make it triggers only for them then? Not a fan of flowerweaving as feral.
I guess Bears where way too powerfull and wanted by all raid teams so they had to nerf them, hard. There can not be any other explanation.
Based on player feedback, we are rolling back the change to Naturalist and have no further changes planned for Feral at this point. The slight threat increase for Bears will be left in place and Gift of the Wild will continue to have its high chance to trigger Omen of Clarity. I have edited the original post to reflect this.

Thank you! But consider keeping flowerweaving for moonkins/resto druids only. Remove flowerweaving from feral. It is degenerate rotation. Not fun to keep attacking with staff.
Strange, i just logged in and the change was in effect.
(Naturalist is 5% not 10%)
And just like that it was back to 10%.
Good idea from the Druid Discord. In case Blizzard REALLY wants to nerf Cat. Better this, than really destroying something.

Thank you for passing the community distaste along.
Nerfs are one thing, but zero-effort, sweeping “fixes” that bear huge uncompensated ramifications on multiple other aspects of gameplay were never the answer.
Much less so done silently in a mid-week hotfix.
So…in the span of 7 days…you utterly overbuffed Feral…half reverted the change, then went back on that.
Meanwhile Ignite and Deep Wounds munching has been broken for 7 months, Dancing Rune Weapon has been broken for 7 months.
Gary got nerfed cuz infinite scaling is “bad”, unless it’s Feral, then infinite scaling is actually good?
You guys are a complete joke of a company.

It makes me so sad man. I have such fond and loving memories of WotLK.
