I really hope blizz reads the feedback here. Bears are not happy with how BFA is looking for them. The removal of the artifact gutted a lot of our quality of life fixes and we have gotten nothing in compensation. Bear feels like an iron fur bot. Stack thrash and then iron fur. always iron fur. Frenzied regen is useless because its a slow hot. By the time you blow your GCD the heals has already picked you up. It's much better to throw on another iron fur to prevent future damage than react too slowly with a GCD + slow hot.
The changes to FR are really poor.Really, most tank defensives need to be off the GCD in general. I get their idea about decision making, but I feel that applies more to DPS than tank gameplay (to the extent that I agree with the GCD changes at all). When you ask tanks to respond to a cast time that is shorter than a global with an ability that is on the global... all you are doing is mandating even more than before that everyone has DBM-esque mods installed; I don't think that's a good direction.
I really hope they spruce things up for us, hopefully before 8.1. I really don't want to get sat for Mythic raids or M+ because I'm not a Demon Hunter.
i still find BEars shafted.yes, we were near gods in Legion...but look at what a bear was designed for..high health pools, high armor. we no longer have much mroe ehalth than others, and armor is sub-par except with Ironfur stacks, and we lack healing (im sorry but as soemoen who used bear in beta its practically useless compared to the dmg you take)I am all fine for them lowering durability...but atleast compensate us with utility or offensive buffs...
seriously, give us a dps cooldown! i am not giving up my bear but damn, he's extremely boring right now. >_<
They simply removed too many of the bear necessities.
Sad to see this guide doesn't have Lunar Beam as a BAD talent. Come on...
