    Druid Feral Macro Help - /cast not gonna work

    Feral-DPS becomes garbage after the rest of melee classes get their t1\t2 sets and appropriate weapons. Even now rogues with Dal'Rends and pre-raid BiS blues have 1.5x better MH weapon DPS than an equally geared feral with [Fist of Omokk]. Also druids' t1\t2 are for healers\casters, which means that ferals have to search for offset items and wait for ZG and AQ20\40 to be released in order to get any worthy epics.

    The Devilsaur monopoly.

    Or maybe add 1% droprate of devilsaur leather to standard x-saurs in Un'goro?

    Druid Feral Macro Help - /cast not gonna work

    the idea is to cast shred (thanks for remark) and if it fails, cast claw at least. So you can spam in pvp one button instead of 2 no matter of position.

    Another interesting macro idea: Cast "Ravage", if fails cast "Claw". It would be the best PvP macro for Feral.

    Needs more Claws - How to Cat

    There is a melee range bug, when you literally need to pour your head into enemy model to use shred. In PvP it's a very dangerous ability because you can waste a lot of time to apply it on running target, which is also affected by a said range bug. Therefore you shred only a CC-ed target that can't move. In all other cases spam claw. The possible solution is a macro that uses shred, and if it fails uses claw.

    NINJA - Coragon (Paladin)

    He also likes to do "full Scholo" runs until Kirtonos is killed. Then he loggs off and returns in 15 mins.

    Cross server BGs

    Terrible idea: Anathema is 1 year ahead of progress, what a fun BG it would be.

    Catform range bug

    Playing WoW-retail since Vanilla and this bug brings so many nostalgic memories =) On a serious note, Feral Catform has serious issues with abilities range, especially the ones with positional requirements. Please upvote this issue https://elysium-project.org/bugtracker/issue/3015

    Items "of quality", bis bugged?

    +9 weapon DMG is = +9 DPS, which is comparable to 126 AP, which is equal to +63 strength woth HotW talent. This is by far the best chant for Feral. I've seen lots of Ferals running with +9 weapon dmg enchants on BGs recently. Wanted to clarify: is it really bannable, because the temptation to use them for myself is really high. Besides Feral is not that particulary good spec for PvP.

    Druid PVP - is it true

    Let's clarify my position: Feral Druids are not unplayable in PvP, not they are bad or broken. Feral druids have much higher skillcap, are much more punishing (for mistakes) and but aren't more rewarding in PvP than most other classes.

    Druid PVP - is it true

    @Fladrif I see no subject to argue here, as your statements don't contradict with mine ones. The experiment with support classes has failed and I personally remember blueposts from Kalgan and Ghostcrawler about their insight i the matter: Hybrid classes were supposed like something you've stated in your post, indeed. Making hybrid classes significantly worse than "pure" classes will result in mass rerolls from it because most people will prefer to take a better DPS, better healer or better tank, while multirole is a pleasant option, nothing more. If you make the opposite and buff hybrids to the level of "pure" classes, then why play mages, rogues and warriors if you can do the same as druid and bring more utility. Even for "pure" classes mixed specs like 21/8/22 for rogues brought headache to Blizzard and they nerfed them significantly, to say nothing of hybrid specs for hybrid classes.

    Druid PVP - is it true

    no, they created feral and balance specs as multitools, that actually didn't work very well. Since WotLK druid's specs have been separated and specialized more.

    Druid PVP - is it true

    @Fladrif Please stop posting nonsense: in vanilla wow druid has always been jack of all trades and master of none. Why take a support that does everything bad when you can take a "pure" DPS or tank? Things have changed in TBC when druids were forced to "heal or GTFO". None has ever considered ferals (except tanking) and balance as serious specs. For sure there were some bright exceptions, but the rest were just geeks (like me) or tryhards.
  15. Don't confuse goldselling with botscripting: it's like comparing salesman with scientist.
  16. There is no smoke without fire. While I take neutral position and don't agree with Alexensual, I still think that hiring goldsellers is like hiring criminals into police. on the other hand bot creators are an extremely valuable addition to a team anyway.

    Development Update 01.02.2017

    Any fixes for Feral "Rip" ability?
  21. The problem is that most contested territories are completely overcrowded by Horde: all resp spots are occupied by 3-5 or even more hordies and even an assembled group of allies will be overrun by zergrush. STV, 1k Needles, Desolace, Badlands, Alterac, Arathi, Hillsbrad are under horde control entirely. The only solution I see is to grind dungeons or mobs near alliance camps. Basically there are as much hordies in contested territories as allies in starting zones.
