Personally i have 0 issues with ferals as a tank rogue but the amount of things they have going for them is absolutely fucking insane.
Turtle WoW devs clearly favoritized druid as every fucking patch the amount of QoL changes was insane, from removing poly/slows via shapeshifting, to being able to cast heal and use pots without changing forms (seriously what the fucking fuck??), to that entangle roots bullshit passive on hit that has no fucking diminishing returns, every talent option in feral is sooo stacked and you getting mad amount of value for your talent points...
like at what point does a hybrid class outclass "pure" classes on all 3 fronts? the whole scheme of hybrid classes was that they do everything GOOD ENOUGH, not BETTER lol.
Just compare druids 21 point Berserking to 31 pointer Adrenalin Rush from Rogue, its a fucking joke that a 21 pointer talent is more stacked then 31 pointer that does the same thing.
Cherry on top while we were leveling i used to play with one druid who said something along the lines "I have been maining Druids for 20+ years and I have never felt this imba" after I seen him legit kill a mob his own lvl in 1 shot (we were like 39 at the time).
Anyone saying "its alright" is highly self delusional and people will probably deflect "you a rogue you equally busted" but rogue doesn't have 1/10th of shit going for him that druids have, rogue just has mass dmg if going assassination but then you lack survivability and "trickery" from sub, while druids get everything from their feral tree for all their feral forms since the whole fucking tree is so overstacked.
Besides rogue got nerfed last patch and was put in line somewhat, druids got another undeserved buff and maybe it was balanced at k40 server stage progression but having all this shit stacked at Phase1 is absolutely fucking dogshit balancing.
No class should have so much QoL going for it, the amount of changes favoriting easy gameplay with druids is absolutely fucking insane and half of that shit should be reverted. Druid is a hybrid class and should be played like so, not "go into form and change it every 30 min if i really need to".
Its overally bad for the game and anyone defending this shit is certifiedly braindead.
The only people saying this is alright are Feral Druids ( Holydruid is one ) and the people who benefit from them so I imagine that's their pocket healers/premades.
Ferals are in such a broken state that I am confident I could 1v2 certain specs if I had one.
As a Shadow Priest, all I can do is Fear ( it gets Trinketed or Berserked ) and then I'm dead because there's no way in hell I'm surviving another 20 seconds when the Druid is doing twice my DPS and runs twice as fast as me. And even if I somehow survived 20 more seconds, they can Berserk the second fear, so really it will take me 1 minute to CC a Druid before they run out of cleanses for my Fear. And this is ignoring FAPs.
Mind you Shadow Priest is the hard counter to Feral in Vanilla PVP, so this shows just how BONKERS the custom changes were. From a hard counter to " Guess I'll fucking die ", 0 chance whatsoever.
I have 43% Physical Damage Reduction in Shadow Form and I still get hit for 20% of my HP every GCD, I don't want to imagine what it's like for a Mage.
