So they're buffing feral DPS...

[Paskgotsheal]

Any reason why? I already do 6k on patch I really don't think we need buffed that much TBH.

[darytas]

maybe you're just to good for this world. of warcraft.

or you just dont see the 8k mages runnin around, 6k is much, but not the most possible.

[Paskgotsheal]

Most of those 8k mages are on under 2 minute boss fights...ours last about 2:30-2:45; any arcane mage would be oom from spamming ABlast...All our other DPS is really good too but shrug idk why feral is gettin buffed by 25% O_O seems like a lot imo.

oh yeah WWS

Because what YOU do doesn't mean anything.
Balance is not around some imaginary deadline, it's around one class versus the others.

Thus, it doesn't matter if you do 4k, 6k or even 10k dps. All that matters if an equally geared and equally skilled player from other classes does equal, less or more dps than you. And we were clearly doing less than others.

so?! .. what should i say as a shadow priest where ~5,200 dps is the top?!

You should say that you deserve a buff. I never said anything about druids being the only ones in need.

Facts remain. Balance is, by definition, comparative. If you're underpowered, you deserve a buff.

Tricks of the trade x 4 and 75% of your shreds critting will do that.

Typical Blizzard Behaviour, Apart from the rare occasion of players doing something right. (gear/Spec/rotation) They will just over buff the class, Ferals will dominate now for a few months, followed by a swift nerfbat, which will be again followed by a small buff, which will probably bring them to about where they were wen it started.

Blizzard follow the same stupid balancing template every time.

Was suprised to not actually see feral burst get lowered, mainly in the form of ferocious bite. I've been hit ina duel by a good feral druid for 9.8k while in defensive stance before by it and he wasnt even buffed. Considering blues said they thought feral burst in pvp was too high I forsee a change coming into the mix.

Really if that took a hit though I think they would be more or less perfect in pvp.

You're right Alski, 12449 shred crit -.- no1 is that über-geared to accomplish that normally...

can't understand why it says you got 8 berserks?
but yeah, 4x tricks of the trade helps dps. And arcane mages go oom after 2 minutes? your DPS would suffer quite a bit if that fight was 2 minutes longer.
Most fights aren't 2-3 minutes long. I think we'll really see that in Ulduar.

They are nerfing FB to use a max of 30 energy, so you won't get crits that big anymore.

Beat me to it. I was hoping he had Hysteria, but 4x TotT will kill his point just as much.

oh ok then hopefully nothing else gets changed nice to see the kitties doing well for once.

[Alski]

why even post when your clearly missed my point.

he got lucky with rng on shred crits + he had an additional +15% damage(ToTT) for 24 sec of the fight

lose our glyph of shred too (20% increased shred damage on stunned targets)

big nerfs

[Vampyrr]

if it got nerfed there was probably a reason for it. Feral burst was nasty in pvp on par with that of paladins.

[Pythia]

Looking at wws, it looks like you found some Berserk exploit. You gain berserk 8-10 times during each boss fight, no wonder you can push 6K dps.

[Alski]

can't understand why it says you got 8 berserks?

Staff enchant comes under the same name as our talent. so it would be 1 berserk and 7 weapon enchant proc's

Very good pick up - this is an incredibly poor example to use as argument why feral dps shouldn't be buffed. It has almost as much value as an edited WWS parse. Discount ToTT and the lucky RNG and you will see that a feral druid with best in slot gear will struggle to get in top5, unless your raid sucks or have started raiding 25 man just recently.
