Feral Druid Nerfs

[Brickslol]

So how long do you think this super op broken spec will own everything? Atleast Mages have to set up their damage.

I believe this will be next patch.

If they have any clue they would hotfix it as soon as possible. Came against a Feral with everything popped, ate 10k bleed ticks after the feral died. Even took a screenshot. Though that is a rather extreme example, the bleed ticks from ferals are just too high.

ya and ice lancing a deep frozen target for upwards of 20k isnt?

"I'm overpowered, but take a look at that other guy who's overpowered. QQ!".

No. Nerf the both of you.

Lol, u have no idea. That bleed takes a while to set up, to hit that hard would require 5 combo points which means u allowed him to hit u 5 times b4 hitting u with the bleed. It requires a lot more work then a mages ranged pet nova, deep freeze ice lance

Funny thing is. warlocks have been a pain with dots killing you even tho you killed the lock the dots still takes you down if you aint a healing class :F
my point is. why complain about ferals, thay have to build combo points first warlocks can use the DoT instantly ^^

EDIT:
Agree with the post above

You can easily get 5 combo points in the first 10 seconds of any fight.

Beacuse warlocks arent gay like these shit cats, that come from the stealth and think they've skill.

This is the sort of thing that is not tolerated on these forums. Please don't post like this. -Stanton Biston

I got in a fight at lvl 81 with a feral (i'm a retri pala) and his ticks were hitting me for 9,5k (i believe my hp then wasn't even over 45k)! It took me and 1 more healer(some random guy that just happened to be there) to keep me alive after the feral druid died.

They will reduce the dmg output of ferals, especially on lower lvls, but i hope that they will also buff their tank abilities on that lower lvls, cause till lvl 40 druids are really bad tanks without a good tank gear, and even then they still need a lot of mana to be healed compared to other tank classes on this lvls.

Feral dmg is too high
Tank abilities are too low

I know a lot of feral players in real life and they all say that it is so much dmg they deal. It got more normal when they got higher, but it is still more they every expected.
The same thing as a tank, but turned around. they are very weak (but still deal a lot of dmg) and that gets much bette rthe higher they get, but still not enough survivabilities and a little too much dmg when they are 85.

[Naoto]

Feral is a joke, so much for hybrids not being as good as pure dps classes eh, they were right, they are BETTER than pure dps classes hell they just need to rake and rip and pwn everyone else, nerf the bastids feral is a pussy class, open up and rip, go bear and watch them die, SKILLS FTW.

Infact, when I run heroics on my lock even BEARS rape the dps and I don't mean my dps, I mean EVERYONE'S dps they can do 30k mangles if not more yet my highest crit is 24k, the fuck? tanks > dps.

Yea but every single healer and shadow priests can dispell your dots, trust me I used to pvp as affil and got pissed off sticking dots up only to see them dispelled instantly, you can't dispel or avoid bleeds which btw probably tick for double of any dot locks have whereas you can absorb the dot ticks.

think about it like this.
Feral cat have to use 3-4 abilities b4 thay can use Rip(with 5 CP) but were a lock can use any dot at any given time, also locks have alot more dots than feral's..
Thoo i do agree. it is too high output by Rip atm.
played feral since Vanilla and i think ferals have been pretty balanced untill now. it have been a chalange to keep up with other Dps class untill TotC/Icc was released, and i must say it was a very complex spec to play(as dps) but now it seems to be more easy to deliver the same amount of dps..


Id love to see Feral tanks get a little buff :F

[wrathblade]

easyer? the changed somethings like savage roar not increasing your dmg on all attacks but only on white attacks aka it's not a major dps loss if it drops for 2 seconds.

also to gain 5 combo points he needs to do atleast 3 attacks with 2 critting aka 2x mangle and rake then he will rip you.
also 9,5K? thats not that much atm... i killed a hordie with a pyroblast crit of 25K then combustion on that! while having living bomb on him 2.... any idea howmuch dot dmg that is?

and rake is instant, and you can get 5 cp's in 3 attacks

a long time ago i think about 2 years i saw a blue post about that they didnt want to buff bleed effecs as they had no control over it as it ignored your armor and cannoed be removed

i was realy surprised to see the damage modifier on the feral cat mastery hack at 20 mastery you already get +60% dmg on your bleeds

in pvp it is also verry powerfull. but our surviveability is still a bit low we got a few decent cooldowns but once they are on cooldown we still die quite fast. but yeh the bleeds do thier trick :P

so feral charge, rake, mangle, ravage!, rip, dash and kite :P

i think in 4.1 they will lover the coeficent of the feral cat mastery

[wrathblade]

also remember ppl. atm mastery is the feral druids best stat! because the have nearly always been a bleed dmg dealer?

My troll sense is tingling.

PvE perspective:

Don't cry when you get outDPS'd by a kitty druid, they have a very hard rotation, and imo if they master it they should rape the meters hard.. I have a friend playing kitty, and I play SV hunter myself. In his good encounters he win, and in his bad encounters I win since my dmg is a bit more stable.
If you get owned by a bear u have L2P issues.. sure if they tank with kitty specc they might be able to do 10k on a boss (which is about 4-5k under a good dps atm)while taking a shitload of damage, but as a real bear they are not even close to dps classes.

PvP perspective:
I haz none

[Stanton Biston]

Consider that none of us have much resilience right now.

Anyways, one the pve side of things, ferals do good damage. But I'm in 338 and I have yet to see any attack go above 25k. And my bear hits harder than my cat, my cat just hits more.

Wait- I have seen some midfight ravage crits in the 30k range.

Yeah. I don't feel like I'm doing crazy damage. And when I run with my guild, I'm middle of the pack as a cat doing about 13k in 5mans.

But.

This is pvp.

Bears > Cats. Vengeance + Berserk + Berserk Buff = 48k mangle crits. But- That required 2 healers and 8 horde beating on me.
