How is the roleplay spec (feral) doing in TWW ? PvP Kings discussion. No PvE Wallmart comercial scenarists commenting pls

Genuine question.
I gave up on feral for now as its just a punching bag, i bet even enhancement does better than kitties in the current shuffle “situation” and i wonder if i should invest my time in another spec instead or i should wait for next expansion.
I got no beta access and I dont trust this mammies house dweller Snupy as he overhypes literally anything when it comes to him reviewing changes.

Fluid Form isn’t anything amazing. Instead of doing manual bear form + regen, you now do mangle + regen. So you get 10k DMG for free! WOW! Going from Bear to Cat might be nicer cause you can actually get sometimes a free GCD if your rake is about to fall off. Regen should also be part of fluid form I’d say to make changing into Bear actually Fluid, 99.99% of the time you go to bear you go to regen, not to mangle…

Druid of the Claw seems to be just bad, but Wildstalker seems to have some nice DMG and even heals. For Druid of the Claw to be cool in PvE and PvP I think you’d need some huge buff where if you go to bear form for 6 secs you actually can still deal a ton of DMG and say the DMG you deal in those 6 secs stacks as a buff on you or something and using Rip will consume those stacks to deal that much more DMG or something. That way bear weaving would actually be a thing you do in PvE and PvP.

For Druid tanks Druid of the Claw seems worthless, wow you get one Rip that deals more DMG, but when you look at the DMG meters it’s still doing no DMG overall. If Bears could say Primal Wrath and all of those did 100% more DMG maybe in AoE you’d see some use, or again DMG dealt in Cat Form gives you stacks, going back to bear form grants you an absorb equal to the amount of DMG you did.

If Blizzard really wants to create a Hero Tree focused around Cat / Bear weaving make it worth to weave and not just a PvP thing or a you deal 3% more DMG overall for weaving 20 times… Even if I played Guardian if the benefits for weaving is not there I won’t be weaving, I’ll just be playing it for the Ravages if they are OP.
