EU+US How is feral looking now a days?

Sarmlery

Drugs
With lately myself rolling and gearing a spriest ive also been debaiting on rolling a feral. For my 2 f2ps to play. Much like spreist I haven't seems a lot about feral and would like to know how they're doing in duels and arena!! Thanks guys!

Just as horrible as spriest :/
 
Feral is currently ok but don't expect to 1v1 other classes easily (except mages maybe). Just stack dots on the enemy as you probably won't have the energy to spam shred after stacking dots

Imo even mages would make ferals look like a joke. When you have balance as another dps option the answer should be quite obvious, for now at least.
 
Another tip (that you and others may know already):
You can utilize bear form as well to mitigate damage received as well, whether pre-bear-forming before heavy hits, or when waiting for your feral energy to regenerate for another energy expenditure run.

Later part (bear forming while waiting for feral energy) assuming you're not able to kite due to snare spam or other possible reasons (CCs, etc.). Otherwise (vs melees) it's worth (or necessary in many fights, depending on matchups [most usually]) to kite if it saves you from extra damage taken, especially vs melees that benefit from extended time on target (ehh shamans, warriors, etc.)


Though to summarize (in very general terms), an advantage is only an advantage if it can be utilized.
Likewise, a disadvantage is only a disadvantage if it can be exploited.
 
The little I've played mine, they're fun and dynamic darting in and out of fights to apply pressure without overtaxing your teams healers. You gotta get over trying to be as bursty as last xpac and fit yourself more into a harass role. Which means being ok with setting other people up for kills rather than making them yourself. There are other dps classes better suited to that role, however, but feral is robust enough and DPSy enough to hold their own and justify their spot.

In short, if Im min/maxing a premade comp, I dont really see a place for feral. But I'm never upset to see one in que.
 
Feral should get a big dps bump next patch. They're reducing the power of the top 3 talent rows and right now there's a flat +33% damage on the spec on PTR. But who knows what it'll be upon release.

This exactly. Feral/Balance/Resto in this bracket all have the same playstyle. In terms of burst and hps/dps druids are arguably the worst, but they make up for this in Top Tier mobility. To play druid you have to get out of the mindset of just straight up nuking/hardcasting and actually make use of your amazing mobility. Apply rejuv/bleeds/moonfire/sunfire and keep on moving around and you become a light assault class with top tier survivability.
 
Still biting people for 2k.
rank1 Predator
yall catz aint real
 
1. Spriest is strong
2. Feral isn't horrible, especially if you're playing wsg - it's one of the best classes for pressuring a druid FC

Just because it's not fotm don't assume it's bad just because you can't play it
lol
