MoP F2P Druid Changes

[pinochet]

Why is nobody in this thread overexcited about Wild Charge - Spell - World of Warcraft? It is so dam awsome. At long last i joined the shamans that want to be a druid club.

0_o travelcats get to Blink in MoP?

And for a moment there I thought insta-wolf and half-nerfed powershifting might catch shammies up to druids as the best FC class.

With the disentanglement nerf, it looks like ferals will regain the druid FC mantle from restos.

What about self healing? Feral heals are pretty weak in comparison.

Only rejuv now is gonna be interesting. I would still take resto. Unless you have heals with you

Sorry nope, ferals don't make it across mid without swiftmend.

note how Incarnation (only the balance version--available at lvl 10) also lists the "movement impairing" effects...still doubt its a typo.

Yet movement impairing effects has not included roots before

i think it has...before they called them "roots" and "snares"...now they're calling them "movement slowing" and "movement impairing"

I will try to find someone on beta to find out

Very nice compilation of changes for druids in mop shift, although i do hope resto druids get maybe a flat-out healing increase percentage kind of like hunters getting a 5% damage increase because i think we can all agree that druids are pretty much the least viable healers at this level, even at 85 right now

im not happy that we lose regrowth, predatory strikes and infected wounds but cant complain since it is a buff
since its free furor, i think interesting hybrid can occur.. like resto cat or balance cat
since i dont think there is a direct damage increase by taking a spec like now, you will still do the same damaga as feral druid as resto druid if you wear same gear. just with less spells. is this correct?

No, the feral build will come with Mangle and the resto/balance builds will not.

Well on wowhead it saids mangled comes with every spec. And mangle is not a direct damage increase. I said similar damage with less spells. (closer to the damage of feral cat dmg than now)

It might have worked, if they didn't have 400x as much mana as you.

 

[Mialo]

somebody needs to explain to me how hot streak is going to work. The tooltip for pyroblast says your direct damage critcal effects have a chance to make your next pyroblast instant cast and cost no mana.

People were saying 2 crits in a row was the only way to trigger this? they're wrong yeah?

Too bad we lose Arcane Missiles

 

[solvogero]

im not happy that we lose regrowth

imo, this is the one thing i'm going to miss the most. I can currently heal just fine in all the PvE content as Feral. In MoP, there's really no way to heal now, regardless of how geared you are, unless you're specced resto (rejuv works for trash, but you need regrowth for bosses). No more queueing for all rolls.
