Oh right they already are the only class that can perform any role, and now one of these roles should get a whole new spec?

Care to explain your logic? Bear and Cat were always separate specs under the same tree - there was minor overlap, but hybrid builds have been awful for a long time. I just don't see this as changing anything (and I'm coming from the perspective of someone who played feral through the hardest content in the game for a long time).

Eh. Switching between tank/dps roles in raids, at least for me, always involved switching between my two feral specs unless I had some odd role to perform in a progression encounter (like only soaking a high damage attack and then DPSing for majority of the time). Originally Posted by Jitters

The specs are nice, but I was way happier about this:
"Hunter melee weapon is gone!"
YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

Sure, I'll explain. Originally Posted by Aphorism

Stop looking at this 4th spec thing from todays standpoint of talents. They will be completely revamped and be more like the diablo3 system. Realise that relax and stop stupid whining without reason.

You think that having 4 trees is going to lead to simply being permanently put into cat/bear/chicken/tree form when you pick that spec? Originally Posted by SmokeyIllidan

I was definitely jaded after the snare/fear changes (hell, I quit WoW earlier this year, partially over class changes and how awful feral DPS was) but I'm having a hard time seeing how this is a change in and of itself. As long as gearing stays similar to how it is now, it's still going to be very possible to swap between feral tank and feral dps on the fly. Easier, maybe, because we can swap out talents like glyphs. Originally Posted by SmokeyIllidan
As for the loss of shape shifting: yeah, there's some truth to the fact that Blizzard may be trying to eliminate the use of alternative forms that don't match your spec. But we'll have to see what all ends up being talented - if Bash becomes a Guardian only ability, if the Mangles get separated, etc. etc. The big difference may be that Resto druids lose access to bear stun, and that Feral druids lose access to what little utility bear currently gives them in PvP.Last edited by Meleti; 2011-10-21 at 09:28 PM.
