why do ppl think feral is so good?Follow

LOS = Line of Sight.

His point being that a smart Feral Druid won't be staying in your face the whole time pounding on you. Now everyone can see their target's cast bar so as soon as that Starfire/Wrath is about to go off we can just try jumping behind you and voilà, casting time wasted and we get a Shred off.

In my opinion, Balance Druid versus Feral Druid isn't something you can just say "Oh, this one will win". It's a matter of circumstances, players skills, gear and luck. I'd say it gotta be some of the most interesting fights, both opponents being able to heal and pull off similar tricks.

I know I know. I never claimed it should be an auto win. But I'm just saying that balance just has more tools to win. Even a warrior vs. druid fight isn't an auto win IMO.



Oh thanks for the clarification. Personally I dont mind allowing a feral up to close combat. But if it really becomes a hassle then I'd just gain some distance. Which isn't to hard.

*Shrugs* Well I give up. Like I said believe what you want to believe. All I'm saying is that boomkin has more abilities to shutdown feral, then feral has to shut down boomkin.

You have displayed faults in my strategies, and I yours. We both choose to ignore them. So there. I hold up the white flag. As if I dont, this forum will never end.

yeah you may think balance is so good but lets see
balance:Transforms the Druid into Moonkin Form. While in this form the armor contribution from items is increased by 400%, attack power is increased by 150% of your level and all party members within 30 yards have their spell critical chance increased by 5%. Melee attacks in this form have a chance on hit to regenerate mana based on attack power. The Moonkin can only cast Balance spells while shapeshifted.(force of nature)Summons 3 treants to attack the enemy target for 30 sec.
feral:Shapeshift into cat form, increasing melee attack power by 40 plus Agility. Also protects the caster from Polymorph effects and allows the use of various cat abilities.
Shapeshift into a dire bear, increasing melee attack power by 120, armor contribution from items by 400%, and Stamina by 25%. Also protects the caster from Polymorph effects and allows the use of various bear abilities
The act of shapeshifting frees the caster of Polymorph and Movement Impairing effects

are you honestly kidding with this topic?a smart feral will be stealthed when a match starts and be behind you.spells can't hit from behind so you lose some health during the time you are turning around.during that time go bear and its all but assured for a feral,charging,frenzied regenration if needed,and healing if things get real bad.this may be the dumbest topic i read.my druid is only lvl 14 and even i can tell that either A. you are making this up or B.you faced some crappy feral druids
and on my warrior i duel moonkin and ferals all the time some of my best friends are druids and feral fight far better.being 8 lvls above my gf at the time she still took out all but 2k of my life sitting at about 8k.moonkin has to waste all thier cooldowns just to get anywhere near that before the 2.5k crits start piling up on you(no thats not execute) and you can't get a heal off from bleeds and the spammings of constant ms and demoralizing maybe a sunder if i need to waste some rage.i wasn't going to say anything about this topic but your cocky a$$ message about feral being stupid and balance owning all kind of pissed me off a bit.

But Quor, /NIN is better than /MNK and... oh crap wrong game. Wrong year, even.

Anyways, same song, different day.

Who cares, everyone who plays druid will probably re-spec at least once, if not multiple times, depending on what new patches bring. One may be Kitty feral today only to be Restokin the next week.

From tht Druid 101 at the head of the thread index. Cheers!

Setai please calm down. You ARE a Scholar meaning People have seen you posts as worth-while That guy ONLY has 21 posts TOTAL! You are sitting at what 400? I'm fairly new to actualy posting but I've been reading the forums for a while now.

I've seen you make valid points for and agains many differant things from your veiw point as a balance druid (making me want to try it out at a later lvl). I have no idea who this guy it but I see it as unbecoming of you to rise to his bait. Personaly I belive that this thread, while being informative, has gon on for too long with too much animosity.

However I'm worse off than that guy (with regard relative rank/reputation here)with far fewer posts and soo must be taken with a grain of salt.



Remeber this?

EDIT: Had to add smart @$$ coment :)

Phobealock please stop this foolishness it gets us no-where. We are here to share information and experince to make us better players.

So please.... stop.

Can we get some admin to close this thread, please?

Oh and Quor, have my babies!


No! rofllmaopwned!


Yeah, I love those mornings.

Nah, I'm fine. Well, almost.
I just felt like going along with the flow of the thread. :P

But yeah, to quote Quor, "We are all Druids, and we should all be working together!" I think that sums it up and I hope the thread will just stop here.

Oh, and grats on the Scholar-ship thingy Sloniah.

Feral gives more DPS and more survivability, but it's "stupid" (says your signature) and "not a big deal".

Oh, okay. You're an idiot, I get it now.

Also, Setai, I like you, but you're making no sense here. You're way too aggressive against the Feral Druids. We all have a right to be here, whether we're Moonkins or Cats.

I understand if you're in love with your Moonkin, but don't bring the hate on the Feral Druids who are in love with the melee aspect of their class. Nor the Restoration Druids who prefer outlasting over outdamaging.

Also, I've been Restoration when Restoration was cool. I've been Balance when Balance wasn't cool. I've been a Balance/Feral/Restoration hybrid when it was the only goddam build viable for 1-60 questing and PvP.

No build is better than the other. The only thing that matters is the person in front of the monitor. If you all want to fight, set up a deathmatch on the PTR servers. Don't do it here.

Oh and ferals can pvp just as good HAHA owned. Cooldowns and what not will only prove you to be a cheap player. Example - a pally using LoH. 1 hr cooldown nice. And in pvp the element of surprise is at hand also when players AND mobs can just gank your sorry rear. It's not like natures grasp doesnt have a cooldown. Also the fact you can't have more than 1 entangling roots on 2 different players. So in other words bear form kicks and you have the "extra" dps and "extra" survivability to go along with it. Also when using your treants just be sure the they only last 30 seconds and dont always grab agro. (If you're in a bg a gullible player will attack treants 1st but good luck with finding one now) But then again every build has its ups and downs.

+1

But seriously can an admin close this?
