I don't see how it is a 'nerf' when it wasn't intended?
You was fixed, the rake ability was bugged and got hotfixed. Ferals were also very OP in arena so you got what was coming. Deal with it.
While fix affects only Rake damage and it went roughly from 30% to 20% of our total damage it's definitely no more than 10% DPS decrease. And my last raiding evening proved it to me. Dps goes from ~24k to ~22k at Halfus(10man), 12k to 10,5k at Conclave(10man) and was 16k at Argaloth(first kill was in blues/greens so no point to compare damage). I think it's pretty FAIR comparing to what other classes do. The only 2 OP classes in terms of PVE left are enhance shammys and survival hunters. They are always higher than other in equal gear regardless of skill.
Just another case of pvp causing a nerf. People cryed cause a cat could finally compair to other classes, sad how pvp ruins the real game.
Great, them bleeds were crazy yo! Been ganking in Tol Barad with some mates lately, creating havoc and just generally try to piss folks off. Feral druids got me good though (I'm hunter), they just stunned me, brought me to about 70k hp, had max bleeds on, and just ran to another target. That's right, I bled out 70k hp. And it happened like 5 times.
They were critting 10-11k, that's just way to much for bleeds. and ya'll know it. Especially considered we're in blues (and yes no resilience but still).
Bleed was op, get over it. Now i shall wait for Ice lance nerf ^^
honestly i though this was goingtobe the new playstyle for ferals whit low melee and sick dots
but i do agree in pvp it is was OP as bleed effect stay on the targer and they can do nothing agiasnt it :P
however i do hope our pvE damage stays on par whit other dpsers, as that is what i do mainly
TREE DURID IS 4 PEE
Hmmm so they fixed rake at last. Yesterday i noticed my max rake crits going down from ~23k to ~18k.

Bleeds were very powerful in PvP, but in PvE now we may suck. Before nerf (call it fix if you like) we were at same dps level with others, but now we will suffer.

About time they nerfed it.
Was questing in Tol Barad when a Feral jumped me. He got all his bleeds on me, I popped Recklesness + Death Wish + STR Trinket and proceeded to kill him in pretty much 3 seconds. I lost close to no HP from his initial jump on me, but his bleeds would have killed me after he was dead had I not had Enraged Regeneration ready. The ticks were just ridiculous.
If your mastery was 100% bonus damage to bleeds, this was a 33% nerf to rake and only rake. If your DPS was 16k and dropped to 12k, then rake was 75% of your DPS.
In any case, I'm glad that people feel better about Druids after having this minor, minor nerf.
