Feral Druid in Mythic + Is not bad

Hi guys i recently made a video . going to do alot feral druid content.Ive come to alot of peoples opinions that they think feral is bad ,or they rather play balance cause they are not confident enough. Well i made a video timing +18 Waycrest as feral with a sub rogue . I hope i can change peoples perspective on feral spec and be the voice of feral druid in community

Hope you enjoy :slight_smile: (starting out as a feral druid youtuber still new to this ^^ )

Wasn’t this generally well known by now? The only problem for ferals in m+ is unique utility compared to other melees or compared to balance in keys above 20 and a smidgen more st dps for tyrannical

Im mythic raider as feral pulling good numbers and doing high end m+ keys , and when i loged on my 437 alt feral druid got declined because “Im Feral” that the biggest reason i made this

Whats this meant to prove? You got outdamaged by the rogue, almost blew the key because you did no damage to the adds on the last boss and crept in 3 seconds under the timer on an 18.

People know certain classes aren’t “bad” its just that others are better.

yeah i did no damage , sure mate , nice +10s and 11s , time atleast +15s on your main monk .then come here and critisize my dps ^^

My main is a resto druid “mate” and i’ve timed higher than you. This isn’t a peen flapping contest, just saying other classes do stuff better.

okay , then dont come @ me saying i did no damage , its not all about the damage its how you play and optimize , resto druid is part of meta and i play class that is not in the meta thats it.

Oh if more people thought like this i would’ve been allowed to dps above 12 keys

Sips in stuck at 40K dps

i just wanna get rid of those people that instant decline people that have good score as feral or other specs on +14 etc or +15 for weekly

I said you did less than the rogue and not enough to the adds on the last boss which is whats important on that boss. Post honestly.

I’m not much into pve but good job keep it up

Feral is verry tunneled into essences and gear as well as stats, with the right ones, I’ve seen insane ferals. One time recently I had a 19 motherlode on the fortified teeming week and the feral pumped like 65k overall, was a big pumper.

Hopefully soon ferals will be gods again

First of all, cg on 18timed.
Second, ferals arent overaly that bad, ots just same like with enha, their caster oposite (bala/ele) is much safer bet so in pugs most declime ferals without knowing what they can do. Also while their aoe is good their single is medciore, not bad but doesnt shine.
Utility is next thing… U cam have 3 dps, most groups aim for rogue and dh, that leaves one spot for dps, and feral doesnt bring much so literaly any DD can fit…

Anyway, glad u enjoy feral amd trying to prove it can achieve same things as other classes (mostly at least), hope blizz do something about them, to at least change peoples mindset…

Naturally, well done.

However, the title is still wrong.

Take an equally geared and skilled Feral and basically all other DPS specs and you will find that Feral underperforms. Additionally Feral has no utility that makes it worth it to take a Feral along.

The Feral DPS rotation is simply too clunky and difficult, additionally too much of our utility has been pruned. Bloodtalons should’ve been removed/reworked several expansions ago as the failed experiment it is. You cant have a spec that’s 10x as hard to play correctly as everything else - while still doing the exact same DPS as the others (if played right).

Yeah im still new to the YouTube scene , going to improve on little stuff i messed up , and yeah making spec work and play it correctly is way harder than other classes but this makes it more interesting for me , bigger challenges and obstacles.
with rogue feral can pop stampeding roar with shroud for bigger skips,soothe engrage , offheal on griveous . but yes i see where you are coming from :+1:

Yes, Feral can make good damage, but you need the proper gear and the correct playstyle. Their issue is the poor utility and that most people want meta specs even for low keys.

No class or spec is actually bad in M+ or Raiding or PvP. It is just what they are compared against. You can run high keys with any comp you have, but not every class and spec can be best in game.

I played Shadow Priest on BfA season 1, but since all I brought to the table was massive AoE damage (and for the fact that most Shadow Priests are bunch of garbo) people didn’t want to take me to even weekly 10s even though I had cleared everything with 15, because they’d rather take one of the strong (meta) classes that are usually more reliable and bring in more utility for their role.

Feral is fine, but assuming you already have melee speed interrupts Balance is better. So if I already have a Rogue and say DH and equal Feral and Balance queue for my group I am going with the Balance 10 times out of 10. It just makes more sense in every possible way.
