Shiftiness-Aerie Peak Gets WoD Beta Access

are ferals and resto druids just as vermin as they are right now or even more scummy on WoD beta?

As someone not on beta, I can tell you that they will be worse. At the very least, Ferals are going to be far, far stronger than on live. And they're obviously not a joke there either.

Restos don't seem like they're getting a "buff" - if they are, it's numerical. And I'm not positive about even that.

However, they aren't getting a nerf either. Since hunters are getting a major nerf, Rdruids will be buffed majorly by comparison to other healers. Basically the only thing capable of killing an Rdruid right now is a geared hunter(s).
 
Or a geared rogue, because it looks like they're getting a bit buffed
 
If anyone else has beta, PST me and we will do some skirmishes and see whats in those boxes! As far as all the druid stats go, like hit/crit/etc., I will get you those once I get to 29 on there (that way it will be for BGs)
 
pretty easy one but can u just give me numbers for what your regrowth rejuve and swiftmend hit for and your respective sp
?
 
swiftmend numbers put rdruid miles ahead of other healers.

BTW feral damage isn't extremely ridiculous, the stun is just too good for this bracket.
yeah their fb damage formula got a rework so it isnt all that bad any more. i think its ok for feral to have that stunn since they dont have a interupt or evasion like a rogue. just my two cents.

Do you have healing numbers from other classes ?
last i checked priests where much stronger than druids paladins wog hit much harder than swiftmend and shamans had more or about the same healing over all on single targets.

And there ye go , 2 stuns as a tauren :3!!!

imo nelf will be the strongest feral race . being able to hard swap onto targets with a stun is going to be very nice. an assas, feral combo could be extremely strong for taking out targets as well.
 
DR'd stuns though.

I mean as a Tauren Druid I'm not exactly lamenting my fate in WoD, but it's not /that/ superb.

I meant as a Feral Tauren Druid :).

Yeah, but still,
If there is TFeral vs NFeral
If NFeral oppens tauren must directly trink. Then do his dmg route , thing is if the tauren watches the nelf steath up he should directly use war stomp. Nelf might be > Tauren bc of that +8 agi.

Yeah, the feral stun is going to DR with the warstomp. So the effectiveness might be diminished a bit. Still another interrupt, though.

For the numbers below, assume a positive and negative deviation of 10 when I say "ish".

Paladin (122sp)
Flash of Light for 290ish
Shock for 200ish
WoG is currently bugged, but I'm pretty sure it should going for around 200 flat

Shaman (136sp)
Riptide for 130ish
Riptide HoT for 60ish
Healing Surge for 480ish

Druid (150sp)
Rejuv for 118ish
Regrowth for 280ish
Swiftmend for 700ish (This is what puts druids ahead)

MW Monk! (130sp)
Surging Mist for 1190ish over 8sec
Enveloping Mist 1440ish over 6s

MW stance dancing as well as having a dispel makes them look extremely interesting...they're def going to be my healer of choice if we can make em
Roll can also be controlled now, as well as flying serpent kick
 
Just like the NE racial is a vanish for rogues, it could also be used to macro into prowl, and stun again for NEs. With the cast time on the tauren racial, and the short duration, it makes them roughly equal.

id rather heal for double with my cast heals instead of a 15 sec cd instant.
also soothing mist no longer generates chi so mw may be completely unplayable.
 
Those seem like somewhat small heals relative to health pools (10-25% noncrit; no ms effect). Was mana efficiency increased to compensate?

i.e. how long does it take to go oom spamming quick heal on beta vs. live
