Feral druid berserk and warlocks

WoW Classic Season of Discovery
1

A question for all fellow destrolocks out there. How are you dealing with feral druids and their berserk ability (makes them immune to fear and enables ability spam cuz of resource cost discount)? Can’t seduce them either cuz they are not humanoid in cat form. Is there any counterplay other then respeccing to Soul link Meta or some variation of affliction with heavy life drains?

So far it seems to me that if you’re a destolock, feral druids basically have an IWIN button against you.

Well i am destro lock but I use metamorph. so a druid cant kill me in the stun and my drain life out lives their dps.

If you are running chaosbolt in pvp you are going to die everytime a melee class gets close to you. It’s not really viable at all. Just for pve.

The short of it, yes, u die once every 3 mins when its 1v1.

Outside of that, its a free kill.

4

u die once every 3 mins

So unless we’re having multiple back to back duels this really translates to “u die every time” pretty much. Ok. Seems fair.

Without coil there’s not much you can do. And now they can even trinket your coil so… better hope for a shadowfury and demonic circle to be added at some point

I am not sure if that trueee?

coil is supposed to be unbreakable.

Cc remove Trinkets getting Changed, and become the normal Retail insignia, so u can trinket every cc u want.

I know that. but death coil has never been able to be cancelled by anything. Even warriors cant break that fear.

Im not sure if you can trinket death coil. that defies the entire purpose of the spell.

9

im not sure either, but i think u can, it looks like the Tbc insignia, and in tbc u can trinket a coil stun or no?

in tbc you could not trinket death coil. It doesn’t count as a fear. thats what makes death coil so strong because there is no way to break it.

if this trinket can break coil then that’s going to annihilate warlocks.

You can even death coil someone after 3 fears or max DR. can also coil undeads who have will of forsaken buff

damn I guess I remember it wrong. in tbc you could actually trinket death coil. (I only play vanilla tbc, not the re-release)

12

if this is the case, warlocks will have a rough time, cuz everyone will trinket coil, and kick your fear

13

Yep thats really sad. Death coil is the one single ability that makes warlock capable in pvp against melee, especially rogues.

I guess warlocks will continue to be F tier in ph3 as well then :confused:

14

Yeah they need Shadowfury or something

15

Shadow fury or teleport would be huge.

You could do it in vanilla TBC too.

A question to all fellow fellow ferals. How do you kill a warlock who Perma fears you?

18

yeah I realize that. I just didnt remember it correctly. Been a looong time

Not saying it’s easy but at least you still have a fighting chance. And not a small one at that. Here’s a couple of quick facts:

  1. Warlock has to hard cast fear. At 1.0 attack speed of a feral cat who’s spamming mangle - I’ll probably be at 50% hp or so before it goes off. Only to be trinketed a moment later (see below).
  2. You can trinket out of it which makes us have to hard cast it again (see above) and also cuts it’s duration in half thanks to DR.
  3. 9 out of 10 times fear breaks on the first spell. So it’s not like we fear you and kill you while you are running in circles feared. Usually it goes like this: we fear, cast any direct damage spell (even immolate is usually enough), fear breaks, you happily sprint (dash) right back to us and we’re back at #1.
  4. It’s not uncommon for a feared player to run away OUT of our spell range before we can finish some big cast because fear gives a slight speed boost.

So as you can see, fear is nothing like your “I WIN” button i.e. berserk.

if you are 1v1ing feral, just go meta form, drain life rune, and spam insta cast searing pain with drain life up till he dies. “I WIN” button countered by another class i win button. Between drain, voidwalker sac, and healthstone aint no way you lose that 1v1.

No need for back to back duels when you can just win the first time.
