Feral Owns!!!!!

i hate the feral gameplay at lvl 20, but sometimes i use the feral spec to rape all these gay huntards/rogues who appeared with 5.3.. its a good feeling
 
im not gonna lie FB dose hit like a freight train .. but to use as the one shot its made out to be its fairly hard and also i run with full agility gear atm which means
1. everything dose so much damage and u do get about a 2k FB crit nearly every time
but 2. withought a pocket healer most things can kill me if i go in for that big crit
so its a balance, you cant just 1 shot people in gear which gives you the potential to one shot but if u go in gear with more resili, stam or armor then FB dose a considerable amount less.
 
Maybe your definition of a one button wonder is different to mine, but as far as I'm concerned, any class/spec that relies disproportionately on one spell to kill stuff is a one button wonder. That's FB killing ferals in my book. Having to build 5cp doesn't change that.

As for the comparison to 5.2 prot wars with SS, imo ferals are worse. SS never hit me as hard as FB does. With SS a decent player could survive and recover if they played right. FB on the other hand is so strong that survival is unlikely, never mind recovery. From a pvp standpoint that's just wrong, and should never happen.

lol im sorry but feral is far from a 1 button wonder. sure u can play at a verry low skill level with FB but feral actualys has a fairly high skill cap whilst factoring in off heals and dots in a group situation with roots and moonfire (only about 1 in every 10 ferals have these buttons binded)
ok im guessing you play alot of mage? judging by your profile picture and this is where all this hate is comming from, druid are imune to all of your cc and can off heal through most of your damage and i know that can be frustrating but every class has something that compleatly counters it you just have to learn to live with it

the pretty girl in that picture is a priest.

Couldnt forget that face&mog...
 
There is no mage or lock in her sig, only a priest of the main robe wearing classes that is...
 
Ferals are coming out of the woodwork. Druids in general are coming out of the woodwork, especially the restos that wear Agility armor. It reminds me why I have a love/hate relationship with this bracket...
 
Huge FB crits might be a problem if combo points transferred, but they don't. All I know is that I rarely ever even HAVE 5 CPs built up, let alone get to use them. Most of the time either my target dies or I die before I can get FB off. >,<

FB might be OP in duels. BGs not so much.
 
I've never really loved my feral, mostly because of a lack of silence. Sure I can do tons of damage, stealth, and never be snared, but I can't live without that silence when dealing with hybrids.
I either:
A: Get a crit and kill them, and feel pretty good about it.
Or B: Not get a crit, my opponent heals to full, and I feel like a moron trying to damage someone spamming heals.
 
Misconceptions that I have read about feral druids on these forums since patch 5.3
1.) They got a 40% physical dmg buff with a new roar. Actually, Savage Roar was already there for ferals it just got buffed from 30% to 40%.
2.)
With both bleeds on, shred does tons of dmg! Actually, Shred only requires a single bleed on the target to get the maximum amount of bonus to dmg which is 20%.
3.) Feral druids kill with 1 button. You have to make sure that you line up your buffs/abilities to get the maximum amount of damage out of Ferocious Bite. You have to have make sure that you have roar up, you have to have Tiger's Fury available to use, you have to have 5 combo points on the target, you have to crit. If you are like me and run in pugs, when in a 10+ midfield battle or a contested fight for a flag in AB, I stealth to the back to attack the healer but shortly after I am getting chain CC'd and loaded with dots. I might get a few heals aside from my own but generally I don't even get to apply 5 combo points before I am dead. Even if I do get heals, usually my 18s 1 cp roar runs out due to CC so I have to use 2 cp for 24s. There is a bit of strategy involved with getting off a big ferocious bite. In arena I could see Feral as being OP though.
