I could be reading this wrong but I believe they got a buff in PVE and then a reduction of that buff in PVP, meaning feral is not getting a nerf, shadow notes are pretty much the same.
- Feral
- Rake now deals 20% more damage. In PvP combat, Rake now deals 20% less damage.
- Rip now deals 20% more damage. In PvP combat, Rip now deals 20% less damage.
did some research and found that ferals are indeed getting nerfed. (in pvp)
