Oh joy, for those of you who didnt see it coming :

# Lifebloom: The final heal that occurs when this spell blooms has been reduced by 20% on the base and on the spell power coefficient.
-- Great, our worst heal is now even worse!!

# Mangle: Ranks 4 and 5 base points reduced by about 11%. Scaling from attack power unchanged.

# Rake: Ranks 6 and 7 base points on initial and periodic damage reduced by about 7%. Scaling from attack power unchanged.

# Rip: Ranks 8 and 9 base points and points per combo point reduced by about 6%. Scaling from attack power unchanged.

--- For once cat DPS was decent, not anymore......

# Savage Defense: The animation for gaining this buff will no longer make the bear stand upright

---- Good news...

# Shred: Ranks 8 and 9 base points reduced by about 10%. Scaling from attack power unchanged.

----- More bad news.....

# Swipe (Cat): Percent of weapon damage done reduced from 260% to 250%.

------ And yet again, more bad news...


So overall, this patch sucks for us... BUT WAIT. at least we get new skins :sick:
 
mommy make the bad man stop plox... Was most if not all of this cos people Female-Doged about up in arena and pvp ?
 
Sign blizzard sux ass as usual hey. Kitties gets punished for having the hardest dps rotation to do properly in wow.
Its not like kitties are overpopulated, now there will be even less of them.

Its a druid thing, blizzard just like ****ing with them I recon

Kitties and mutilate rogues should be qualified to work as anesthetists after a raid with all those timers they need to watch & execute exactly on time and in order.
 
No dps class worth it slot in a raid don't have complex rotations that needs to be timed to perfection. The last few weeks a lot of druids that have almost 0 skill started to top dps meters, and those with some serious skills were doing over 1k dps more than anyone else. I think it is a fair call for a nerf, but I hope they don't kill the class like they did with BM hunters...
 
Kill this class kill that class, old story happens every patch. Not a big deal.

Droods are still overpowered in arena though as a tree stump. Takes AGES to kill them and by then you lost if you dont also have a druid in your team.
 
Well talking from an arena point of view im honestly not suprised that resto got a slight nerf. My mate and i took up arena with pretty much no experience. We facerolled our way to a rating of 950 in one night. That tree DOES NOT die. Im just thankful that hes on my side :)

Yes i know 950 aint exactly the highest rating, but if you bear in mind that his(the druid) resi was on about 200 i think, and he could withstand most initial bursts something aint right.
 
then people will move on to the next class they struggle to kill/beat in the dps race and guess what BAM Bob's your alt and they get nerfed
 
Bring back big differences in gear! Then people can complain about uber pvp gear instead of this class is or that class is unbeatable. Or introduce level 19 twink arenas ;) .

But yes druid healers have been OP for about 2 years now, and specifically that lifebloom tick have been most complained about. But I also loved fighting against teams with a resto druid in, it made things a lot more challenging.
 
I think the new changes are good... it might even have a positive outcome in PVP. Sure there are nerfs, but hell really... some classes saw it coming. :p
 
Feral DPS was out of control, way higher than any hybrid has any right to be, and resto druids were basically indestructible in pvp. Just because the rotation was harder to pull off doesn't mean the fact that their dps was far higher than every other melee dps class should simply be ignored.

So yes, nerf droods more plox kthx.

Resto druids are not indestructible in PvP. The only thing that saves us is line of sight.
I hate it when people say that we cant die because its bull****.
I have 600+ resi and when i go up against a rogue, yes i still die, and a DK, i can get away but if there are 2 dpsers on me then im screwed.
and people forget we give up almost all our cc in this form just to be able to heal on par with others.
If you guys wanna QQ about a healer, complain about a pally, his plate and his bubbles.
Or a priests who sucks my mana away then bubbles when my partner beats on him.
Or a shammy, which i have found are pretty strong healers.
Or a mage who steals my innervate then im left like an idot while they laugh and beat my partner to the ground.
Or when you have 2xDK or 2xRogue or 2xMage or any combination on dpsers against a druid.. Not to mention a lock and his banish..
Once again the only good druid is one that can run and effectivly use LoS.
No Leather wearer can stand with the other healers and take a hit...
If you say we dont die its because the best thing we can do is run...

..end rant..
