49 Feral Druid?

[nikor0x]

Never twinked anything before but a warrior at level 19



Ive got a 45 druid sittin around.. I was wondering how feral is in the 40-49 Bracket..



Opinions please

Don't even bother making a Druid in this bracket, they're horrible. You'll be severely pigeonholed into Resto. if you ever want to be competitive and/or do arenas and any thing a Druid can do in this bracket, another FoTM class can do 2 times better.



Oh, and Feral is the worst spec in the bracket.

I did it back in BC and had a blast. Hit very hard and there wasn't too much I couldn't beat.



Of course things may be pretty different now.

Things are quite different now.



Ferals did pretty good damage in BC, about on par with rogues minus poisons... of course when the wrath "3.0" patch rolled around rogues got their massive evis damage.



In wrath (in 49s), feral druids have fallen behind in terms of overall damage and utility. They lost their ability to powershift (Furor change), and are one of the weaker offhealers for their offspec.



As Flag Carriers, I would still take a Warrior (Shield Wall, Last Stand, decent damage) and Paladin (dispel, hand of freedom, HoJ, etc) over a feral druid.

You are only hurting your team if you roll Feral at 49.
