R Druids get Purge protection in 10.1

After purging 1 R Druid’s hot you get 30% slow stacking 3 times - at 3 stacks you get a root and silence for 3 sec.

How long does the debuff last & can you dispel it?

Didn’t check it on PTR so cannot say more.

Why is counterplay getting so much… counterplay now?

Instead of these things I’d rather see less classes having purges / increasing the cost for example tbh

We just need a counterplay to the counterplay. Maybe a way to reflect the snare back onto the druid when we dispel a HoT?

But what if they can just counter your counterplay to their counterplay by countering the ability that you reflected on them?

Well I guess it’s because of these AWC strats with Mage and Evoker dispelling all hots

Isn’t lifebloom already a purge protection?

They should nerf purge probably instead of giving druid the spec with the best toolkit in the game that never cast at all another tool making them even more broken imo.

What about our Dragon boys? Would be nice to get some of that love too, since Preservation also is a HoT spec and literally has 0 purge protection, not even something like Lifebloom.

can u give a link to this?

and im not surprised this is happening, is not good that every single disc/rsham comp just play ultra aggro spamming purge nonstop, every dragon fire breath destroys the hots on every1 etc, for sure there is some counterplay but its so boring to tell your teammates to just line purges all the time, but well, since this new patch and rdruid nerfs u dont rly have to purge too much since rdruid healing its just so bad

Druids are weak to purge to oblivion, if that proposed change is good it will be something…Shaman purges, priest purges , mages purges, DH purges and reduce duration of our hots, breath purges… it become muli source purge…

And yea after patch it is impossible to make playable RDruid build, all builds feels weak , unnatural, out of synergy, clunky, healing output is lackluster. We are litelary nothing now.

I had carpal tunnel syndrome from purging druid hots when I was playing my ShadowPri alt, average 70 purge per round, I even enchanted my gear with bonus mana %, because I was running out of mana while purge spamming.

My idea would have been to reduce the amount of purges in the game but hey, what do i know

Being purged is fine…but being purged 200times in a row is matter of abuse

It’s the same thing as all these micro CCs and mobility in the game. It would be more reasonable to reduce the amount of them but then M+ would be affected as many mobs already are created around being stunlocked not to get an uninterruptable cast. Mobility is needed for M+ players to do their keys in time and to avoid all rainbow-color indicators on the ground so instead Blizzard is introducing some crap in form of Precognition so casters can cast again. Today I was attacked by Survival Hunter I juked him and then I tried to cast Hex - Scatter, again - Pet Stun, again - Feign Death. We just have to deal with the fact that due to PvE this game will be only designed this way.

You will get counter to counter as you cannot change counter in the first place.
