Here is how it looks for Feral for like the last 3 xpacs almost every season:
1 feral already has a very bad reputation in PvE even after the “rework” so you are fighting an uphill battle
2 feral starts pretty underwhelming in PvE.
3 devs are very conservative in buffing feral and just give 1% 2% buffs(dont look at mage changes almost every tuning pass)
4 season almost over and then feral becomes average at best
5 new season comes with new tuning and back to step 1 with feral
feral rework was very meh, feral lost its niche over the years while almost every spec got something from feral be it mobility, healing, better ST dmg etc…
Extremely low buffs from what we need another 2% single target buff two tunings in a row shows they didn’t get the numbers correct the first time but once again they are not correct again because our single target is sorely lacking and requires a lot more than 2%.
feral is just too annoying to play when there are a million swirlies and effects flying around.
bloodtalons should disappear so you can focus more on the actual game
besides feral is just to squishy
