Giving a C tier spec bump to S tier was unfair.

Unfair when you think about MM and BM hunter which was D tier spec from the BEGINNING and STILL D tier until the end of the expansion.
With luck MM Hunter could be B tier but only full stuff...

Trap weaving was a cancer gameplay over 75% of the expansion.

Btw, still waiting for buff of MM and BM, trap launch is not a buff, it's just a QoL. The 1% will not get a dps buff.

Ah and before i forget, can you put a buff like retail for who wants to farm the old raids content ?
Because try harding to group for a BT, Hyjal and getting 3 rogues 1 shaman in 30min is boring.Comment by AlterTimeNoice! Feral won't be kings by a mile and I can play balance and not feel terrible.Comment by BoolokkaSo can we expect glyph of hand of reckoning -5% damage as well or?Comment by JahxdFeral nerf is deserved.

First, you shouldn't have touched Feral Combat at all. Tweaking things mid tier was a bad idea, giving out changes and buffs or nerfs overall is a bad idea period in Classic.

Second, you shouldn't have tried to roll it back, which only ended up nerfing bear (somehow) more and making cat even worse than it started with the changes to Naturalist, not working in PvP, etc.

Third, you shouldn't have tried to "balance" it when you realized all it did was make everyone worse off and that the "10% buff" actually scaled to make cats competitive and because it benefitted some more than others.

Fourth, this isn't even needed. There's already indication this puts Bearweaving/Flowerweaving/Wrathweaving back on the table as plausible talking points... the exact thing you were trying to prevent.

Fifth, Feral Combat has enough problems. For the amount of work you have to put in to get DPS out, the last thing it needs is some added complications (see above). Cats aren't going to dominate in the real world outside the absolute best parsers. Anyone with the new welfare Shadowmourne is on average going to out do them.

Please, stop touching things, this included. Leave Feral Combat where it is at. This is not even a real problem and you're making it into one again.Comment by FershieSo can we expect glyph of hand of reckoning -5% damage as well or?Comment by FrancoportoFeral nerf is deserved.

Are Top Guilds starting to stack Feral Druids for ICC Progression?
Since Ferals are ( apparently? ) overperforming are Fire Mages next? Unholy DK's? Affliction Warlocks?Comment by YUrecawhy they tryng to do balance on perfect working game? blizzard you allready did balance on wow retail where everyone can blink charge fly/glade etc and noone playing that @#$%game anymore? game working good exactly because its imbalancedComment by caldorerofl the omen glyph change is presented as a bugfix / minor adjustment when it is a significant nerf.Comment by SkyplusGood. Feral was a bit overtuned.Comment by enoxitusArms warrior buff when? I feel like it shouldn't be at the bottom of the DPS meter with a legendary equipped (according to sims), but maybe that's just meComment by turbogormHandling of Feral Druids has been a joke

If they are going to nerf the feral damage in order to try make it accurate to old ICC levels, they should at least do the same to ret.

Or if they are nerfing the damage from Omen, they could at least give the 4 seconds duration from RIP back.

Ferals aren't even unbalanced, everyone looks at projected Sims and thinks holy @#$% thats OP but feral loses more than any other class on target switching and doesnt have sustained AOE like rets.

Not nerfing rets because they are only OP with Shadowmourne seems dumb to me, everyone is going to have shadowmourne with the changes to the questline ffsComment by Talaris1The omen of clarity change there again , it doesnt make Any sense in last post for omen of clarity you wanted to fix threat generation problem so why not buff up the cover spell which is so useless that nobody is even using it, instead you nerf a spec which is not even in a top of dps and you even nerf it the way that we had to drop one of the major glyph for omen of clarity glyph, instead of it you could nerf more broken classes like nerf deathknights , rogues or affliction warlocks, blizzard please this will not give you the good name like at all, it looks like you just dont like the druids.
