Druid Shapeshifting Nerf

[Chanka]

Blizz currently intends to make druids no longer able to shift out of root effects in 4.0.6. Sorry if this is old news



Will druids still be viable for FC'ing when compared to other classes? As of now the slow removal effect from shifting is still in place, so.



Also, yay indirect buff to mages > No more shifting out my novas

Umm you mean FCing not EFCing. And i would say yes because of bear/cheetah form.

Well you can still shapeshift out of movement slowing effect so yes, I think druid FC will stillbe interesting.

guess mage is #1 rolled class? haven't checked census lately, but what ever they seem to QQ about gets nerfed hard



2008 rogues shadowstep got nerfed

2009 warriors intercept got nerfed (prot spec)

2011 druids shifting may get nerfed? will have to wait and see. the responses and QQ by druids is huge. to many are slanging it as a f-druid nerf.....affects all druids



players have been QQing on mages when it comes to PVP, and are on blizzard's case, because mages 15% damage increase to 2 spells upcoming in 4.06 are in response to PVE. seems blizzard still hasn't learned. it appears they are not balancing PVP in CATA. if they aren't doing it 85, they definitely will never scale it down to lower levels.



they did blue post that they were gonna work on 1 vs 1 PVP in cata awhile back and when QQ rolled huge on rogues at low level, they said they have to focus on 85's and work their way down. lol, they went back on that one. now they have gimped rogues again at low level



what's next? really paladin's HOF no longer removes roots? or did i miss that nerf too?

Disentanglement (new specialization): Causes shapeshifting to remove roots in addition to snares.



It's included in Restorations Specialization, meaning when you chose Restoration as your spec. (Source)

Oh stfu please. You have an insane bleed dot, a VERY often proccing slow, 30% PASSIVE movement speed, hard hitting white/special attacks, the best stealth in the bracket, roots, heals, magic dot, and you're gonna say "hurr RIP feral"? Give me a break here.
