Opinions on Feral Druids, for Cataclysm BG's (Rated and Normal)

[remanz]

well, i really felt for the druids lol.

I thought gave power shift a CD would be sufficient. But they just flat out killed it. I haven't seen this massive outcry since the retribution paladin nerf. I guess druids had its time.

Power Shifting costs the mana to assume Kitty Form (or whatever form you're already in).
And it costs a GCD, so you're doing nothing else for those 1.5 seconds.

It is useful to break root.
But useless against any snare effect while in combat.
Since those will be reapplied immediately.

It is fairly useful against snare effects when running away.

I'm pretty sure the Power Shift change, is purely to take attention away from the Berserk change.
Something they can relent on, and be seen as on the side of druids.
But who knows, it might actually be a nerf they're looking at implementing.

I have canceled all my accounts.
But have game time, till the third week of March.
If the class sucks after the next patch, I doubt I'll renew.
But whether they nerf druids 29 ways or none, if the class remains fun I will renew.
