Boxing Feral Druids

[boxblizzard]

Hi All,

im running a new Druid team of ferals, no doubt difficult when compared to casters.

I would like to know if anyone has boxed multiple feral spec Druids and could share their experience?

I have boxed raids with mixed teams and caster sets for PvP etc however classic feral setup looks to be challenging.

I would love to hear your experience with any Teams of 2, 3, 4,
and 5 feral setups with shape shifting.

Thanks 😎

Yikes, that sounds very difficult indeed! What is your experience with them then so far?

Not alot as they are onlu level 10 and have reached Bear form, so currently playing with round robin style keymaps with in-game macros. It's early days, as i will need to learn to try and master utlity with melee while shape shifting, looks like a nightmware but it is feasable once i got it down to a tee!

Sadly come to conclusion feral is not viable enough for reliability as I have discovered, it’s very challenging to a point where you die from panic scenarios and multi shifting while running around is insane.

so not exactly a waste of time but a good eye opener, I’ve made some really good macros but it’s the feral shape shifting mechanics and being melee is awfully challenging to the point of fun stops.

so I have rebooted my old school team of 5 shaman for classic and will consider maybe another caster set another time.

i love the Druids, they just fall behind compared to others.

4 bears + healing until 5 cats (and 1 healing) should be fine to grind/quest no?

I have no levelling issues all is well, just the feel for the mechanics seems too difficult for PvP for melee hybrid.

I have done other melee teams but Druids are just extra challenging to a point where it’s not ideal for what I am looking for. I will keep the tree am Incase I use for pve.

And in raids the prep and difficulty of the rotation is insane, especially for multiboxing it I'm afraid.

I don't really see anyone taking 5 ferals to anything. The Meta rules everything in classic.

i have redone another druid group of 5x balance, with possible feral for tanking/pvp assist. I find this much easier than feral all-round.

would i be able to 5 man higher dungeons such as lbrs etc, with a 5x balance and use one to tank? but i also want to be pvp without changing specs?

I have a team of 5 feral druids at level 47. They are generally pretty fun to play but are obviously much slower at leveling than Mages. Any of them can switch between tanking and melee DPS which is convenient. Obviously shapeshifting is the biggest mana drain and the hardest to setup. I have a bunch of macros to allow switching between the various forms as long as the character is not in bear form.

For healing, I have all DPS cast downranked heals which works pretty well so long as they have time between healing to regenerate some mana.

As far as long term goals I kind of would like to farm out the Feralheart set. Although getting through the quest chain and farming a few of the pieces (Wildheart kilt) may be a big challenge.

I am not sure about PVP but welcome to suggestions. I generally just stealth and avoid 60's for now. Maybe a round-robin Feral Charge macro would make a decent gap closer?
