The same post as last patch, Miss Sophie? The same post as every patch, James. We write what we would like for Feral and then nothing like that happens … or does it?
But on an only slightly more serious note, I think Feral is overall in a decent place. The overhaul of the class tree, while far from perfect, greatly improved pathing and enabled much better builds. But still, there are quite a few smaller things that Blizz could do to make a lot of cats very happy.
- More forms. More, more more
- Let Matted Fur absorb be based on HP percentage. Right now, it is not even a joke but just sad.
- Why is my aquatic form slower than cat form in aquatic delves? This annoys me to no end, although it is admittetly not game breaking. Fish form is nice to replenish my breath but if I want to go fast, I am a cat underwater instead of a fish. It makes no sense…
- I think Wildstalker could use a slight improvement to self-sustain. DotC gets FR in cat form which is quite powerful but WW lacks in this department. May be boost healing from Symbiotic Bloom a little? Or just let FR work with Fluid Form ?
- Replace Symbiotic Relationship with Kindred Spirits, the old Kyrian covenant talent. May be make it a cap stone in place of Fluid Form (see below). KS was a true hybrid talent and useful for every spec, just overshadowed by Convoke. SR, as it is, is only useful for Resto, so move it to the Resto tree if you want to keep it.
- Change Heart of the Wild to work like the resto talent Call of the Elder Druid - shorter duration, much shorter cooldown. The 5 minute CD on HotW was and is ridiculous.
- Condense Berserk into 2 or, at maximum, 3 nodes. At least merge Frenzy and Heart of the Lion. While good it is not that strong of a CD to warrant 4 or even 5 talent points.
- Does anybody play Coiled to spring ? This could use a rethink or might even simply be deleted.
- Please make cosmetic Moonkin form baseline and let the talent provide the spell damage and armour bonus. Not letting non-balance Druids dance and flap is the incarnation of the fun detected, exterminate meme.
- Tie the effect from Forestwalk to the HoT component of Regrowth to make it a bit more useful.
- Buff the Regrowth HoT to make it … actually heal something?
- Make travel form work indoors with “in combat” speed. The restriction is outdated considering how many gap closers, speed boosts etc are in the game by now.
- Make Fluid Form baseline. Seriously, I know that requests “to make XY baseline” come up somewhat inflationary but here we talk about a talent whose sole purpose is to streamline otherwise clanky and inelegant game mechanics. Fixing this should not be delegated to a talent, it should just be fixed. Personally, I would even suggest removing GCD from shifting and finding a different way to prevent powershifting out of snares
As always, thanks for may be listening
