Some classes got a much needed overhaul but dont seem finished (hunters for instance)<br /><br />offtopic somewhat but...<br /><br />Theres a ghostcrawler post which keeps getting, I believe miss quoted. Its the one where he talks about wanting us to shift more often. Too many people are reading this as "we want druids powershifting more". I read that, and I still believe correctly, that they wanted us between forms again - bear, cat and travel as the situation called. <br /><br />This would have been great, but just cant happen without a major overhaul. Stuff like that will have to wait till the next expansion tbh. Cat is just too good.<br /><br />sorry long day im rambling - back to your comment and our "new" moves:<br /><br />Thrash - pve move - far too little damage and duration to be viable in pve. IMO omnly put in becuase swipe had a Cd . Pretty mch every druid i know just macros the two now<br /><br />Stampeding roar- too little range, too little duration and too high a cost. Having done a little (albeit v little) raiding its far too situational and even then usually fails. best use so far has been corpse runs :(<br /><br />mushrooms- i still link that spell in g chat to break tension in an argument. Always works <br /><br /><br />hopefully we'll here something from blizzard soon other then "oops".<br /><br />I cant see me rolling resto and I was balance once (way back in season 6). <br /><br />I am sure Ill read this back in a mo and it wont make sense so apologies its late here :(<br /><br />all the bestAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455942546841541788.post-75221284245161662482011-01-21T11:26:58.349-08:002011-01-21T11:26:58.349-08:00I agree completely.

I (checks) said it in the post but these are the types of things I would have expected Blizz to iron out during the Beta phase...<br /><br />Stampeding Roar is useless in PvP.<br />Thrash is useless for non-tanks.<br />Mushrooms are useless for all.<br /><br />Cataclysm felt rushed. I was in Wraths Beta as well, and it felt much slower, much more tested, much more thought out. I feel like Activision pushed too hard to get their "one game a year" message across to Blizz and Blizz simply didn't fight it enough. Instead, they released Cataclysm well before it was ready without half of the balancing issues that were needed.<br /><br />At this point, they are trying to fix the holes in the boat with buckets... and it simply won't work that way. At the very least, they are taking their time with this PTR (it seems) and making a LOT of broad changes... there is the hope that before the dust settles things may actually be in a better place balance-wise... but it is a HOPE, not a certainty.Reygahncihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18149576720317778717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455942546841541788.post-14656484377221190782011-01-21T11:22:55.264-08:002011-01-21T11:22:55.264-08:00much appreciated- at the moment however, and with ...much appreciated- at the moment however, and with blizzard havig gone quiet on the whole matter, there isnt much to add.<br /><br />Im just shocked that:<br /><br />1. The first wave of "fixes" (read nerfs) were not rolled out first and tested<br /><br />2. No afterthought was given to what druids (generally) may need to replace shifting<br /><br />3. That this is quite clearly something that should have/ could have been dealt with in the beta with the rest of the overhalls<br /><br />4. That pretty much every feral is having to campaign for an obverhaul in the pointless abilities we got 81-85 just to make the class/spec playable.<br /><br />It's all be said before so I think I would only further bring out more QQ posts<br /><br />When (IF??) blizzard decide to comment I will have something to say. <br /><br />Cheers for the offer and keep up the excellent work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455942546841541788.post-69902682429425723622011-01-21T11:10:41.626-08:002011-01-21T11:10:41.626-08:00If you have a comment you would like me to add to ...If you have a comment you would like me to add to the discussion, simply put it here (quoted appropriately so I know) with your Realm/Toonname and I will gladly add it to the discussion on the boards.Reygahncihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18149576720317778717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455942546841541788.post-37184533857298711712011-01-21T11:08:50.117-08:002011-01-21T11:08:50.117-08:00rey

Essentially, you had a limited number of shapeshifts (read: a LOW number) in a short duration like an arena match. You might be able to have broken 8-10 roots/snares before running nigh-oom for other utility abilities.<br /><br />Don't get me wrong, Predator's Swiftness reducing the cost of the next nature spell to 0 and making it instant-cast made huge strides towards keeping Ferals from OOM'ing, but I fear that keeping things as they are (with Mages being so overpowered with control via root effects while Ferals can just spamshift through them for the most part) and upping the cost of shapeshifting rather severely would make Feral entirely too mana dependent again.<br /><br />Again, I believe that with the proper tools given to Feral, this change will be a GOOD one for balance. Sure, it takes away some of the minor flair of being a Feral Druid, but I didn't roll my Feral back in early vanilla because I wanted to be able to break roots/snares (though I was impressed with that as a perk). I rolled my Druid because I LOVED the idea of being able to tank and dps... yes, originally I liked the idea of raiding, but it has sucked ever since.Reygahncihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18149576720317778717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455942546841541788.post-808715663106329392011-01-18T18:14:01.321-08:002011-01-18T18:14:01.321-08:00as much as I acknowledge your superiority with reg...as much as I acknowledge your superiority with regard to PvP - this change would remove so much flair in solo and PvE that it should not go life. <br />Your proposals by themself I think are also overly complicated - why not simply increase mana costs of "shapeshift cat" to 50% base. Suddenly "Master Shapeshifter" would become interesting, you would reduce uptime on target, and Druids would still keep their main ability "smart enough to run away, live to fight another day".<br /><br />Rauxis, chosen of CATRauxisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455942546841541788.post-56525772688002387522011-01-15T14:25:30.621-08:002011-01-15T14:25:30.621-08:00I'd love to hear your thoughts on Blizzard'...I'd love to hear your thoughts on Blizzard's latest brainfart... apparently, Shapeshifting on PTR now only removes snare, but not root effects (unless you spec Resto). It almost wants to make me reroll despite having been Feral since 1.7... especially since all those scrub Magi will probably become unkillable for us if this bullshit goes live.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
