Upcoming feral changes

GC posted some disturbing information about feral spec druids on 12/28/2010.



  • Even after we fixed their mastery, Feral druid bleeds still do a lot of damage and are undispellable. We plan to shift some of that damage back to main attacks. They are also a little too hard to control. Given that they are already hard to root, snare, or polymorph, we think the fear immunity from Berserk is too much.
  • We’re buffing Wild Mushroom. It’s a cool spell that isn’t getting enough play.
  • Empowered Touch will now benefit from Regrowth as well. We’re also buffing the Glyph of Regrowth.
  • We are looking at Holy Concentration (after our most recent buff) and Omen of Clarity to make sure they don’t account for too much mana savings.


So we can expect harder mangle/shred but weaker bleeds. This is a bummer for me because I like gearing for mastery since it effects both tank and cat. If they nerf down bleeds too much it might not be worth it to stack mastery anymore which would make bear ever WORSE for survivability in PVP. They already nerfed down frenzied regeneration to almost useless (0.3% for 10 rage ticks).


On a side note, my main spec in WOTLK, Doomkin, is getting wild mushrooms adjusted. In my opinion they're going to need to make them instant cast AND do about twice as much damage to make them viable.
