Druid shift transitions from one form to the next or third are almost instant, leaving little room for counter play. As an example, if mage casts frost nova on druid in cat form in order to deal damage with ice lance, the druid has shifted to humanoid form and back to cat before the global cooldown of frostnova has finished.

Thanks for asking to kill my class in both pve and pvp aspect.
Drood already have a global cooldown to morph, he just separated GCD from normal skill (just like warrior stance).
Once he morph it trigger normal GCD from the powershift, so after a morph he can’t instant use a spell he have to wait GCD before be able to spend energy.
Yes drood remove a nova by demorph, so actually you asking for a GCD on demorph and on remorph, so you have to use 2 GCD for a nova ? Come on be serious and stop troll my friend, and just l2p.
Mage versus feral is all about mage CD management with slow/nova/pet etc… if drood have not something LoS the match is at the advantage of mage, but only if mage know to play, drood will end oom if he spam demorph with 580 mana per shift, but feral will spank most of bad mage.
If you want to learn to face them you can watch the video of fat cow 7 where there is a part where he duel Noone for mage part (sure the feral win in video, that a feral video, but he end the mage with staff hit cause no mana to remorph or anything)

Honestly he is kinda right that the powershift macros remove half the thought process and counterplay present in 1.12 client. For example in 1.12 you can stop powershift by spamming sap/repentance which can land after the cancelaura and before the re-shape
You mean in classic where they added an insane spell batching, the sap/repentance on powershift is just about that. You even could be sap in bear or cat form doing so.
They reduced drasticly the spell batching for BC that almost there is not (Rip vanish blind, shs charge etc…).
But let’s talk about nova that don’t break on people, after a shatter combo or 5 ice lance, when the mage will stop to have https://www.wowhead.com/spell=333393/grisly-icicle they should not have it before shadowland.
also not sure if you know, but there is a bug where mages can blink while silenced, if they are also stunned during that silence
you guys may be accidentally doing that if you ever like garrote and then he mace stuns or intercepts
its broken but the way the game looks at it the “allowed to blink out of stuns” code takes priority over the “i cant blink because im silenced” code
so you can accidentally help them by silencing at the wrong time
And read this on discord too, so mage calm down, you enough broken like this.
no i mean 1.12. like real classic and private servers.
blink whilst silenced has been the case since at least 2006

I know it’s a bug since 2006, just like vanish spell was not intented by blizzard, like powershift rotation from feral was not intended by blizzard etc… and as you can’t see i don’t ask for a class balance thing, that how it was on TBC.
So you asking for a balancing class patch on a classic server, cause feral removing nova is like this too at TBC.
Why can’t we play it in 2.4.3, you can wait TBC SoM to ask some class patch to make a new version out of and old version and make an alternative TLK too, then cata etc… xD
powershifting was done with 400ms batching and can be done without 0ms macros.
druids are not balanced around 0ms batching or powershift macros xD
400ms batching should be thecase until like cata xD
Then explain this, video from original TBC from fatcow he just powershift the nova, and the ice lance do 325 damage so count as not nova.
Since you see him for a micro moment as human it mean even with spellbatching won’t change anything about nova case, and even i think in this video he don’t even play with macro shift but just normal spell
If a Mage is stunned he should not be able to blink or use iceblock.

Are you frustrated because some druid wins 1v1 on you? Forgot shapeshifting is like 20% of total mana for a druid? if you can’t play on this then you just have bad skill as a mage.
I am frustrated because druid shift speed is overpowered and you cannot do anything against them because of it. Instant shifts out of all slows and from all freezes and back to cat form, there is no counterplay. It is enough that the druid can shift out of nova, but add a cooldown to that so that this tiny window of opportunity could be utilized. I will say it again because you are slow: during frostnova global cooldown, druid has shifted from cat->humanoid->cat.
The cost is base mana, not total mana. Maybe you should learn your own class before start teaching others about theirs. Oh yea… I forgot, there is no skill involved in playing feral druid. Sorry, my bad.
what kind of crack are u smoking? travel form is 9% mana when naked
Anyone else find it funny when people ask for balance changes in a 15 year old game? It’s kind of like a blast to the past, imagine how people must have whined back in the day.
Druid can shift cat->cat without humanoid form…lel
But i love your post
Another day, another useless post by Beyondo.
I don’t play a druid, I just report what I see.
Thank you for your service.
Beyondo is a troll. Don’t feed it. So many nonsense threads.

kinda racist but u are right about italians
No they can not. They go out in NE/Tauren form in betveen. You would be surprised how often you get caught mid shift with diff CC.
