Nerf Feral Druid's Sunfire

The ability needs to go on a cooldown… running with 30% speed no melee catching to you while you simply spam it to kill them is a problem.

It’s really weird they allowed something like that in classic. The thing about Druids was always that they needed to be out of a shapeshift form in order to cast (Faerie Fire Feral as an exception), so I immediately disliked the idea of it being castable in animal form. I don’t think it needs a cooldown, I think it needs to be only castable in caster form.

Yea it’s silly AF, he doesn’t even have an animation, you are just getting blasted by god knows what from god knows where.

can’t take this kind of comment seriously on a pvp thread

try turning your screen on?

Can you read? It has no animation.
All you see is a feral druid walking by.
You know, you are supposed to see what is happening, like somebody casting a spell.

What do you play in SoD? Pls don’t say Warlock…

Do you seriously need to see their hands moving to understand you’ve been hit with an instant cast Dmg/Dot spell?

We might as well remove all animation from the game going by this high IQ post, since you all know what’s happening anyways. Let’s play with turned off monitors to add some flavour too.
How the fk would a classic player know you can “cast” sunfire from feral form? Casting damaging spells from cat form has never been a thing not even on wotlk or legion which I played.

They wouldn’t know they can cast Sunfire at all.

They wouldn’t know any of the new abilities without having looked them up or encountering them, and once you know, you know.

What would you prefer to happen, the cats hands glow?

ooooh, make the eyes glow, that would be cool.

Yes that would be a better indicator than, well, nothing?

How do you tell what spells people cast btw?

Druids have 5 different heals, how do you know which one they cast? The animation is the same, so its not helpful.

A little upset druid spamming sunfire detected…

Cast bar if it’s a cast, otherwise just show he is casting something and I’m fine. Are we really arguing about this stupid shi*t?

Now you understand.

I haven’t noticed if it has an animation or not, but it definitely should. Faerie Fire Feral has one, it looks exactly like a melee attack. But that’s beside the point. I think the guy was arguing that not only is it out of place mechanically speaking, but it doesn’t even have an animation either. The latter confirming that it’s a poorly thought out process.

I mean yeah, an animation wouldn’t hurt. I also wouldn’t mind a small cooldown TBH - maybe 6 seconds like Mangle (bear)? I don’t think that would invalidate the rune.

Their insta sunfire hits for MORE than a frostbolt from a mage, it’s dumb it hurts, blizzard never fails to shock me, in a very negative way…

the stealth, movement and insta sunfire is a bit silly

Sunfire replaces mangle and doesn’t refund energy if resisted. Spamming it also resets the tick on its DoT.

You can use 3 in a row and then you are out of energy.

:slight_smile: It really isn’t as bad as you think, except the supposed oddity of it having no visual cue of its cast.
