The Cataclysm Classic Pre-Expansion Patch is Now Live
Realm Restarts Scheduled — Wednesday May 1
Developer Thoughts - Plunderstorm Game Mode and Feedback
Void Elf starting pet?
MMO-Champion
i know there have been a few posts on it, but now its live this root change (when shifting you no longer remove root affects). Its KILLED pvp for us.
Feral was all about mobility, and able to stay on the target and get combo points on, get a stun/rip/FB off, then using the instant cast to cyclone or heal as needed (talking more on arena mostly, and to a lesser extent BGs). Now, im rooted in place and laughed at while the target heals up or kills me.
Im talking about vs frost mages and resto druids in particular. I came accross in arena today 2 frost mages that kept me rooted in place the ENTIRE match, i could do nothing to help my partner.
Then there was this resto druid that had no pvp gear, yet he just switched in and out of travel form keeping me in place with natures grasp. and healing up.
these are just 2 of the examples I faced today, there were many more, hunters entrapment i wont even get started on, or the warlock hand of guldan..
Im just hoping that this change is reverted ASAP, and blizzard get there heads out of there ...!

stop complaining, ret pallys have it worse than you, adapt or reroll, and STOP MAKING THREADS ABOUT THIS, THERE IS 500 OTHER THREADS ABOUT THE SAME THING, THERES NO NEED FOR 501
so god help me, if i get mod powers one day.
Yes its a shame, ive got a feral, but god damn adapt to it rather than "THE SKY IS FALLING THE SKY IS FALLING"
look at ret pallys atm, 2 crusader strikes to break ice barrier, snare, slow, ice barrier, 2 crusader strikes, snare, slow, ice barrier, if they get low, polymorph and evocateLast edited by Martyn 470; 2011-02-09 at 01:15 PM.

Ret's just got buffed so I dont know what your talking about here.
And this is the druid forum, I didnt mention ret paladins at all, if i wanted to, it would be in the paladin forum, general discussion or pvp forum. This is for druids only.

we got buffed healing wise, not dps wise ( atleased not pvp dps), we are still the easiest class to CC since we cant spam cleanse to remove snares Originally Posted by Menardi
i know this is the druid forum, im not stupid, but if you look at the forum, its QQ WE ARE DEAD, im sure its a forum rule not to post a topic if theres a thread about it, but apparently that means nothing.

we said this, entire ptr said this, and now the live folks get to experience this. Everyone and their moms knew what was coming. Feral as it stands on live is dead. Anyone who said otherwise where baddies and trolls. do what druids have done since vanilla. Respecc restoration.

im honestly not trying to troll, the sky isnt falling, it isnt as bad as everyone is saying, we are still superior against melee, and we still hit pretty hard for ranged, its just mages which we have trouble with now, and frost mages kill everybody atm, so its fine. Originally Posted by Dina

Welcome to the rest of us, Ferals. And before you start listing what mobility other classes has, try fkin play any other classes in pvp first, say a shadow priest. Bout time this class got nerfed, insane dmg, cc, immunity, dots and selfheal.
As frostmages, this isnt supposed to be named World Of Feralcraft just yet. Now let us try to fire that blizz employee drooling over his frostmage.
About the root/snare issue, let me quote Blizz "PVP isnt balanced around 1v1", this is what SPs always gets told - why should it be anything different to other classes.

No, the sky isn't falling.... It's already fallen. Originally Posted by Martyn 470

Hmmm...shapeshift cyclone till the roots duration is through. Or maybe use a trinket if necessary, adapt or move on.

i dont , even being a tree i dont like the smell of it, its a double edge issue. you may be happy with it but once they see you live to much either they nerf my heals or nerf ma tree more. ( and i dont pvp but knowing about pvp issues is important since nerfs are based on it T.T )as resto tbh I like this changes...

the trinket u can use it once in a while i think, so that means either DMR becomes active or once you use trinket you will get rooted.Hmmm...shapeshift cyclone till the roots duration is through. Or maybe use a trinket if necessary, adapt or move on
maybe nerfing bleeds was needed, to make a sticky useless cat for arena was too much. lets see how this goes with time.

i gues all hybrid melee classes have some ranged abilit but the feral druid ranged abilites fail epicly. (as in ticking for 200 damage)
so i do see the OP his point.
if you compared us to rouges who have the same problem. they got a shitload of stuns we ferals dontTREE DURID IS 4 PEE

So because there's another spec that's currently broken that means it's entirely justified to destroy a completely different spec that was fine before? Originally Posted by Martyn 470
