Huge nerf to ferals upcoming patch

Bro get out :smiley:
giving brain while not being informed and clearly not playing the class.
Just stop it.

Clone casting buff from Heart of the wild is nerfed by 50% too, all of this while Heart remains a 5 min cooldown. If i start comparing this 5 min cd to other classes 2 min cds, people will quickly agree that this long of a cd for this crappy of an ability is underwhelming to say the least.
Frenzied Regeneration is also nerfed in pvp from 32 % to 20% along with Bear Form Armor, though most classes ignore armor regardless.

Lycaras Teachings is also getting nerfed, cat form is gonna give Stamina :smiley: , instead of crit, bear form is gonna give Movement speed :smiley: instead of Versatility (making bear even squishier since we were getting 3% all damage reduction from the versatility bonus) and even less healing since versa affects healing).
No form will no longer give you haste, no matter that casting as a melee was hard enough in this micro cc meta, it will now give you MAGIC DAMAGE (thank God!!!)
Speaking of healing , do you guys remember that Swiftmend got removed ? Yeah, i also dont remember that.

Thorns can no longer be put on other people, only on you, during Barkskin. Which… okay ?

No need to be rude :<

However I think iam going crazy, I could swear I saw some patch notes about Ravage being buffed but cant find them anymore…

Ah well cant judge the book by its cover and we shall see how the changes play out.

Its just becoming this blant unfun class i rather have them rework it , remain in A + tier like it used to be but be fun to play rather than having it being a glass cannon furry warrior. Pun intended.

new 4 set is worse than our old 4 set dmg will be even lower

its trash, pvp mod too high, the 4 set wont do anything, its most likely a aoe m+ spell

anyway its a mop angle

hah ferals. hahahahah :coffee:

Dw dks im on ele blasting you through AMS and IBF droping like :fly: :coffee:

to be fair the current one is crazy, sso getting a better one hasnt had a high probability. However I have the slight suspicion that it is also the reason why they wont buff ferocious bite, since it would front load even more damage into that one spell.

If they dont buff it once we lose the set bonus though… I dont know, but mortal strike shouldnt hit harder than ferocius bite^^

the bite hits like a wet noodle, when u compare the downtime of it, outside of incarn can be only used when it procs otherwise u spend 50 energy on it, rdrood/boomkin have 2x as fast energy reg than feral thats how clunky it is

they nerfed soul of the forest, omen of clarity, base energy reg, while keeping the 50energy price on bite

yes it is, but removing this set, without compensate the bite dmg or something else will nerf this class really hardly

the dmg profile is already really wonky where u have to toggle with your clones outside of incarn otherwise u wont kill anything or everything will stay at 100% hp

not a fan of the current state, maybe im biased, bad clueless whatever, i can only tell from a perspective when i have played cata and mop classic and had 10x more fun there

Its really weird, if you have to literally wait for ability until you have combo points AND specific amount of energy to use it, it should feel more impactful. Ferocius bite should be the chaos bolt of meele.

Its stacking all dots, combo points and energy basically 3 resources , ignoring additional cds to hit for like 1 -1,4 million on average?

It feels amazing if you get like a triple procc and really burn someone down. But gambling arent my druid class fantasy

I arent the best feral so my opinion may be horrible, but I would like :

  1. Fercious Bite always hits for full damage no matter the energy used
  2. converts active dots into damage like flameshaper evoker/ spreads them
  3. ignores armor

However as we wont be getting that, there is the hope the tune the druid of the claw to push more people into playing it for the 4 set. Cause Ravage isnt unfun to play, just it feels weak atm

It needs the fix of tigerfury triggering Ravage out of stealth instead of having to 1. rake , 2. tigerfury because it only counts in combat

yeah wish there where a option to switch between more Singletarget dmg/ aoe rott dmg

Bfa season 1 Feral was Perfect, bite felt impactful, bleeds werent that bad

and even then, feral was only A tier there

Energy in Singletarget situation was high, what allowed you to use bite without rng gamble procs/incarn

it was way more fluent, close to all OG Arena Ferals wish Bfa Season 1 designe back when it comes to Feral how u have to execute your Dmg

ofc feral didnt had Clone back, which made the spec more a Braindead brawler

but being an pseudo cc clone bot melee mage isnt the way either

i mean they also can give it a cd and tune Singletarget dmg around it (and noone else would complain about the clone spam thing aswell)

most people hate to play against the current feral, because its the best class to slow the game down and makes it even more tryhard for both

i dont wanna speak for all, i can also be completely wrong, clueless, just my opinion + what i have heard from my friends

i have submitted amounts of suggestions when they removed ‘Draught of Deep focus’. This would solve a lot of the problems in pvp that ppl been complaining about. I don’t think there was any high rated feral that liked having to resort to Primal wrath.

But why they would bring back Circle of Life and death but not Draught of deep focus is beyond me. It would give the ppl who like to go for single target setups an option, as well as ppl who like to cleave it up.

But if we would ever get a heavier single target focus build, maim still needs to be on a relative short cd or it’s all just in vein.

we had it in the alpha/early beta version of Dragonflight in the talent tree, but ofc Pve Ferals complained about it

Their Argument was "if we do 40% more singletarget dmg at boss fights we have to take it, but when the boss have a add phase we couldnt switch/swap to the mobs without losing an high amount of Dmg

Feral got weaker/more annoying to play in Arena because of PvE Changes

That is actually a solid argument and not going that route speaks to the competence of the druid dev. Just look at how miserable of a state assassination rogue is currently in with deathstalker not being able to target swap at all because the dev just didn’t care.

simple solution, make it a pvp talent. I dont know why the devs dont expand them while keeping so many useless ones

would be a good idea, since they butchered every single feral pvp talent

Yeah, except you are immune to roots/poly, have 7x fury warrior CC and 5 more drastic diferencies. Except that feral = weaker fury.

Which is true.
They have the bleeds of assa rogue and can tank in bear form.

Assa rogues can tank with feint while still doing damage.

You sure? 20% damage is not much.

Plus 40% AOE, plus 40% when stunned. It’s better than bear, you still got your whole toolkit available.
