FinalBossTV - Balance and Feral Druids in Battle for Azeroth
FinalBossTV made a few videos recently on his first impressions of Balance and Feral Druids in Battle for Azeroth!

That'd make a great Demon Hunter mount. Its head is practically a glaive.

[Nerraw]

Great to see all the continued work going into TFT.

[YorHa-Unit-2B]

Why isn't Warcraft 3 integrated in Battlenet ?

[Dainah]

Why isn't Warcraft 3 integrated in Battlenet ?

... and free?

[Kathranis]

That'd make a great Demon Hunter mount. Its head is practically a glaive.

One of the new glaive models is actually a trilobite head.

[Teri]

... and free?

Because it's not remastered yet, if they do that, the "old" graphics probably become free and in battlenet, like Starcraft 1.

[ChairmanKaga]

I wish they would fix the scorpion mounts so their legs were animated like that.

Man blizz really focusing on mounts lately.

[meowfurion]

Really, really hate how boring Feral is in BfA Alpha so far. I may switch mains. They've been floundering around with cats as a class for three expansions here now. They need to fucking go back to how it was in WOTLK.

[Stormykitten]

^ I actually enjoy it kind of in Legion, same with Balance (best it has been for me tbh), butboth of them really, really lose feel by removing the artifact and the traits. I think they've got good kits, except the basic rotation is well, really basic without them.

[AeronPeryton]

Stop making more horse and griffin mounts! Do something original!

*Trilobite mount*

This messes with the lore! Why can't you make normal mounts?

I think they look wonderful, and less "busy" than some of the other recent mounts.

Also, huge props to the Classic team. Those people are the real MVPs. Would World of Warcraft Classic fall under their jurisdiction? Boy, I hope so.

[Noomz]

I want one of those mounts!

[Vandictus]

That'd make a great Demon Hunter mount. Its head is practically a glaive.

Or an idea for a warglaive weapon skin, 2 Trilobite heads.

New archaeology mount?

The pre-made chars you get on alpha and their gear optimization is pretty far from what your main will feel once BFA launches.

Armor penetration feral ahhh... those were the times...

Yeah, im really enjoying balance in legion. Full Moon's big dmg and Power of Goldrinn proc feel great, and when you activate incarnation + bloodlust you are a heavy hitting machine gun.

I don't mean this to be disrespectful, but how do you know? Neither you nor I am psychic and can predict the future. That's an assumption and speculation on you part, I'm afraid.

Because that’s how it’s always been with betas and the pre made chars. They are not optimized and geared very well and only give a rough picture. If we are able to transfers our own chars to the beta realms it’ll give a bette picture how the leveling process will feel. The feel of your character also change a lot during an expansion from the day you start to level and you start raiding for the example.

That's true, but what I am getting at is the ENTIRE rotation of Kitty from MoP onward has just been terrible. It really needs to go back to WOTLK fun.

Or maybe that's what is being released/datamined....?
