I'm seeing everyone say "MONK GETS DOUBLE JUMP!!!!" all over the internet. But that's not what the patch note says. It says, "... allowing you to double jump TO DASH FORWARD..." As in you press jump twice to trigger the dash. It doesn't sound like you will jump twice. Rather you will dash in the middle of your normal jump. Just want to clarify before the community gets outraged and claims they removed the double jump later on.

It is more of a glide at the end of roll, not a true double jump.
As a Feral Druid main since freakin' MoP, I have a feeling that sometimes, developers that are in charge of the Cat really do NOT play the spec at all. Like, they're not testing it for themselves when applying these types of changes. Some changes are good on "paper" and "slowing" the spec down isn't that bad.. but! ARE YOU HAVING FUN WHILE PLAYING IT? Do you feel like a fuckin' ferocious predator tearing up your enemies/prey and shit? I don't think they play the class at all. It's like they're just watching it from the sidelines, look at the certain numbers (without comparing it to the performance of OTHER classes) and they just go like - "Hmmm. 20% increase of damage for a certain talent, for a brief period of time?! TOO MUCH. CUT THAT SHIT in half or something"... For years, Feral druids have been sweating really hard to actually get to the top 10 (depends on the expansion) on the damage charts (basically, to be viable as a dps) and DragonFlight Feral is the most fun I had in years playing El Gatto AND to actually feel viable, do big deeps, pump big time numbers and dps. It feels fun, basically. Hey, we finally got to the point that we can out-dps a freakin' Moonkin and to be more viable on some raid fights.... I dunno man... I'm torn in the middle on these changes... (Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk).

Exactly! I would like to see feral become more competitive. It just seems as if the devs aren’t interested in doing just that. They treat feral with vague enthusiasm while favoring other damage dealing classes as ‘more fun’. I do agree with you on the Dragonflight changes to the class. I have had fun and I feel like I can slice and dice anything that gets in my way. I would hate to lose that experience.

@@senka2578 Weeeell, it seem we were going way too fast and having too much fun! HOW DARE WE?! I dunno... I'm kinda defeated (or rather, feel like it) on the front of Feral. I have always been ride or die for Feral, even through THE WORST of the WORST for the spec... Raiding, doing M+, all of it (PVP as well).. and as soon as we get an ounce of GOOD things for the spec.. boom. We get shot down like we're nothing. It Why do we need to slow down?! Why is the reset (e.g.) for the Tiger's Fury gone (when you kill a target with a bleed on it)??? Why? I was so fuckin' stocked for the War Within, especially for the Hero Talents and us finally being able to be "Druids of the Claw" but all we can do now, it seems, is to again, struggle like always. Seems that I will have to go back to Bear full time. Bah... We'll see how the Cat will perform once the true WW launches. It's early alpha, we've yet to see what will they do...

@loveyourself3246 I dunnoo.... Slowing it down, doesn't mean it'll be more approachable as a class. It still has tons of things to take care of... Do you realize that Feral is still the only class in the game, that has snapshot mechanic to its gameplay? On top of that, you have TWO resources to take care off and ALL that for miniscule damage. I manage to always land in the top 10 dps in my guild, but that was only in the DF and only because I've been playing it for shit ton of years. I have all those rotations as my second nature. It's a lot for a new player. If they want a new user friendly experience - first - get rid of the fucking snapshot mechanic. THEN, think about even removing combo points and focus solely on Energy. I mean, I can theorycraft about it 'till tomorrow, but slowing down the spec, I dunno.... Bah... we'll see. :D

The thing ive learned in all my time since wotlk until now is that, if a feral main complains its either: 1. complete nonsense since they dont even know what snapshots are and come up with total bs to cover up their bad keybinds and their kick on alt gr numpad 5 or 2. a whole spreadsheet about how fucked up the situation of the specc is since x periods of time and boy i can tell its mostly the second option because these players are so entitled about their specc and get fucking 0 recognition since end woltk and mid to end legion afaik

@@Max-dv1kq I dunno man... I lost all of my nerves when it comes to this. Rarely do I comment on the state of my spec and this one was a first one in YEARS.. As soon as we get a bit more viable and competitive on a overall scale of things, boom. No can dooo champ. Feels utterly bad. And I agree on the first example you gave. Most people don't know even what snapshotting is and yet, they expect to perform well with the Cat. When I explain some of my guildies how that works (the ones that want to try Feral (as I'm the only one in the guild)), they immediately give up. Feels BAD.
Blizzard's response on DK makes me worried even more. We were asking for 2H Obliterate to be as competitive as Breath, some were asking to remove Breath and replace it with something doesn't require glue, we were also asking to make D&D an aura, since other plates can hit and run at no loss while we can only watch in despair as tank drags everyone out of our placement. But instead of applying or advancing these, Blizzard's response seems more on "less breath duration time = less glue" and "we WILL make Vile Contagion, that shitty complex AOEr requiring four CDs to start dealing damage so you never used it ever, necessary again" than anything we asked for. Plus the Rider of Random Apocalypse? Oh boy I'm dreadful.

This, this, this. And we are all writing and rewriting the same things on the forums. Endless posts about the bad class tree, and then they just doubled down on it with MULTIPLE dead-end talents. Endless posts about how core balance and guardian gameplay are meh and that just throwing more new talents on top of a broken system will not fix it. Endless posts about how feral just lacks (similar to survival and enhance). Endless posts about how we are losing the survivability and mobility arms race, esp. for our two dps specs (compared to other dps specs). Endless posts about how fun was detected so remove those talents for some ODD reason; examples: displacer beast, stellar drift, and NOW tireless pursuit... WHY!?

I hope they will reduce the button bloat and make class rotations fun :) Affliction needs to be simplified in aoe :) Elemental shamans need a better concept to combine the elements rather than beeing either fire or lightning shaman. Their mastery is also kind of weird only working on builders (:

Honestly, I would prefer not to wait for major damage abilities (or any damage ability) while playing feral. What makes me dangerous is the consistent application of bleeds and strikes. Waiting for those to become highlighted or available could negatively impact my experience.
As an arms player I want overpower animation changed to something else it looks so stupid using dual wield animation when you have only one 2h weapon

As usual, wait til its released then try each class. Chances are if you play alot of classes your picks will change based on which ones have been destroyed or improved.

Man if they're trying to make people excited for these changes I think they need to try again. Obviously subject to change.
Little worried about how much I might need to relearn on my mistweaver... and seems I should just hold off till the expansion to learn windwalker if they are going to change it that much.
So excited I maybe able to play Arcane again.
I actually used to love Feral back when it was slow and tactical. Maintaining your dots was such a massive priority that it made wasting energy feel very punishing and so you ended up with a slow but methodic playstyle that rewards patience and preparation. I don't feel every class needs to be fast and spammy. Having a variety of playstyles and speeds (apm) really makes the game more interesting because classes then have a much more defined identity with regards to how they feel to play.
Whenever they play with Feral dps talents it’s always concerning, let’s see what happens I really hope I don’t need to main something else. I love feral!
Oh so we are getting back to Arms that needs to wait for Rage to come up? Not sure I like it
i hope for hunter love
Orbital Strike needs LOVE!! It is a fantastic talent and would help with constant damage! A 1-point talent. A 15% damage reduction and a 90 second cool down.
Oh, I love the new Druid Talent tree, except the Wild Charge position, oof!

If they slow it down they need increase Rip and Rake damage on single targets, but then Rip might become too good trough Primal Wrath on cleave/aoe. Slowing it down for shure reduces our Combo Point generation and through that our DPS.

as someone who use to play rogue and feral, more downtime just feels bad.

Here we go, making feral feel energy starved. Why do they always screw up the only classes I like. Every. Single. Time.
If drakthyr could be other classes, I would race change all 15 of my alts immediately. But I just have no fun playing evoker and augment
I love the elemental ancestor Idea for shamans, but the capstone talent is absolutely horrendous. Going to need some work on that tree.

On the fence about feral druid changes as well, but don’t they tune/change classes every expansion? I think the talent trees will eventually be expanded on, but for better or for worse they seem to be making tweaks to all classes likely based on how they played during DF. Pres evoker for example is getting one of their tier bonuses baked into the talent tree.

Feral having downtime? We havent had downtime since ages lol. I like it
If they don't start making marksman a marksman again, I'm gonna go nuts
they screwing up holy priest, perverted into being basically into being a buff bot moonkin, instead of a reactive pure healer that its supposed to be. They still havent fixed the slow cooldowns either (cd’s are too long and need either cd’s reduced or boost haste impact so it speeds up gcd). they have so much reliant on holy in mythics but dont build them able to handle them, forcing holy to have to over gear mythic before they can do it, rather than running it to improve gear which is effing backwards. Frustrating when all your buddies classes can advance in mythic and you cant until they or you eventually outgear lower keys to finally advance the holy priest.. and this is from a holy priest that is very well played too.. this is not skill, they mostly fixed holy damage dealing, but not mythic healing yet and turning them into rogue/moonkin buff buts in war within just pisses me off big time
i guess shaman is the least loved class by the devs....
Personally I like slowing down classes a little bit so each ability feels a little more impactful. Sometimes trying to focus on the procs going off and maintaining buffs is overwhelming while also dodging or interacting with encounter mechanics
No hunter rework.
Let me guess, all these removed talents are just being renamed hero talents.
Stupid blizzard, all classes simplified... like they haven't gotten this path in the past...
Feral Druid dev's are clueless. We dont want any more downtime as it feels at least for me booringly slow as it is even though Feral in Dragonflight is otherwise at very enjoyable spot, it's no longer automatic bench on Mythic Raids. Feel like they want make Feral worse and make its player count zero in TWW.
Hunter remains on permanent ignore.
I wish they didn't complicate stuff too much, we already have too many spell modifications and too many spells all in all. It's a too big a mess.
why showing paladin footage when talking about evokers and monks??? Come on Kelani...

Feral druid gonna be F tier. An auto attack class with low dmg. So sad to see its going back to classics style. Looks like another expansion my main gets laughed at.
Im starting to get PTSD flashbacks from.last several expansions shamans not getting any work and we end up garbage untested and minimally viable while mages get reviewed and updates constantly. Farseer is hot garbage for elemental and meh for resto.
Hopefully Vengeance gets nerfed. The spec warps the M+ meta so badly.
