Hello Don, as you may or may not know, the Feral Druid class has been overbuffed by the Turtle Devs and you inherited their changes. Their damage is insanely high and the ability called Berserk has no business being in Vanilla WoW, as it adds a Fear Cleanse to a class that already is immune to slows/snares/sheep.
When can we see some actual changes/nerfs to Feral? As it currently is, a Feral could probably 1v2 Mages or Shadow Priests of the same gear level and that's simply insane.
Sorry thats not true. Druids wont 1v2 mages, mages can slow so many times, druid would run out of mana from shapeshifting or simply get destroyed by the second mage thats not being chased. While warlocks who can charm, or hunters who can trap twice and do insane damage with pet, could 1v2 them.
You haven't seen Feral damage here then, you can kill a mage in 4 globals.
No thats not true. Druid would need to crit Ravage, that would at most remove mage's shield, but thats RNG, he can then insta blink or freeze. Druid can do burst damage after he applies pounce, rake and rip, to get 3 bleeds on target, which initially doesnt do much damage. If druid uses Berserk thats another gcd. Only after that druid can start to Claw which has 90% higher dmaage thanks to 3 bleeds. So before druid can prepare all of these on mage, he can escape in so many ways, blink, freeze, CoC, also has shield that slows down. Cancel all his CDs and do this again. In the meantime using rank one frostbolts, that cost much less than shapeshifting. While druid can only charge him once with bear to shorten distance. Mage will apply two shields (ice barriers) after each other so druid cannot burst him so quickly down. While second mage can free cast since druid isnt like a warlock or druid who can CC one player for longer time and dps other. I saw this many times in BGs or duels and even played one. And I didnt even start to say that mage in the meantime loses rake since its such a short dot, and rip as well since you apply it with max one or two combo points. So druid would need to apply them again, or use Claw with 60% less damage. The two mages would need to be noobs or heavily outgeared by druid to be able to 1v2. You probably haven't seen good mages then.
