FERAL DRUID Shadowlands ALPHA Overview

A Feral Druid Shadowlands Alpha overview? Why yes and man do we have stuff to talk about 🙂 Starting from the shadowlands feral druid changes we’re going to analyze the spec based on world questing, torghast trips and some shadowlands feral druid dungeon runs. Basically everything that the current client can provide in terms of feral druid shadowlands gameplay. The spec hasn’t seen good days in BFA and certainly isn’t seeing much in the new expansion. There is a lot of work to be don on the shadowlands feral druid talents and some core mechanics just don’t work. GCD doesn’t help and not even the feral druid unpruning or the feral druid covenant abilities don’t bring much to fixing the class. More in the video so stay close to Marcelian Online for all those juicy Shadowlands class updates 🙂

  1. I'm SO happy about the Bloodtalons change. That rotation kept me from really enjoying my druid for the past two expansions. It sucks they never made any other talent in that row viable.

  2. From what I gather in the comments, feral needs these five things:
    • Leader of the pack baseline

    • Much more powerful mastery
    • Return of Survival instincts
    • Return of original Bloodtalons
    • Increase base armor percentage

  3. ⚠️UPDATE! More to come!⚠️

    1. Sabertooth has been nerfed to only reward 1 extra second of Rip duration per combo point spent on Ferocious Bite.
    2. Bloodtalons has been "buffed" to increase the window in which you can combo your abilities to receive the buff to 5 seconds from 3 seconds.

  4. Even though Convoke the Spirits doesn't give you blood talons, proccing BT with the combo in your opener before using it is worth it because if you have Sabertooth and BT procced and use CtS, every Bite you do will be done as if it was 5cp and 50% energy. At the baseline stats for beta these are critting up to 13k and you can get 3-4 FB in the 4 sec channel, and after it you'll have enough cp to bite again which can make you do up to 40-50k burst in 4 seconds. That's more health than some characters have with the base stats and without any scaling or info on the feral legendaries. It's possibly the strongest burst spell for them, though given the randomness of the spells I have seen instances where only 1 or 2 bites proc during it. With one of the soulbinds, that conceals you until you move, you can also use it as a Shadowmeld to exit combat. The last Soulbind skill also gives you 10% mastery on use of Convoke the Spirits which fades over 5 mins, so that's even more damage on your bites and bleeds. If you have incarn taleneted and you pop it, between ST, BT, Incarn, 10% mastery you'll do a massive amount of burst.

  5. Bringing back barkskin… Not good…
    In live we have 2 survival instincts which procs masterful instincts, 30 seconds of 50% dmg reduction and 130% mastery, usable back to back for 1minute of beast mode. Literally the only thing making feral viable right now. Take all this away for a very small dmg wall? No thank you 😥😥😥

  6. Druids seem to have some of the most fun Legendary powers. Some are really cool for specific types of content or promote specific, less commonly used playstyles, others make you super flexible and give you nice boost to hybridity (comboing nicely with the HotW) and others really reward you for executing specific, less conventional play patterns.

    It's a massive shame that the best one for Feral seems to just give you occasional free Ferocious Bites as procs from your Rake tics. Really wish they balance those out.

  7. imo that change to blood talons is lit. back then you had to time when to trigger blood talons so that you can use the 30% boost on strong finishing moves. now it only affects finishing moves and not regular attacks. if they really want to boost how druids perform they simple have to give us back power shifting. I would be happy if power shifting is all we got for shadowlands.

  8. Who gives a FLYING FUCK about ANY of these changes?!? Get rid of snapshotting, bring in adaptive buffs. Stop making me use a million different addons just to play feral optimally. Stop making the focus on bleeds when they don't do shit for damage or when you have to change targets constantly or mobs dying to fast for your bleeds to MATTER! MAKE FERAL GREAT AGAIN!

  9. I never had any problem with Feral. There is always something to press and I dont mind working "extra harder" to get the same or bigger dps as some other class. Very fun to play and I have no problems with +15s but that said they are piss easy. I feel like class changes only affect top 1% Mythic Raiders who are racing for worlds first. But when it comes to covenants even i as a casual go to icy veins and search for the best one..I love ardenvield cuz of nature and it was my top pick but ill just have to forget about it because i dont wanna deal with Channeling. Fuck that. + I liked better BloodTaloons in BFA, I will just go Omen Of Clarity instead in Shadowlands, fuck downtime… It is way more complicated with Shadowlands taloons than with a single nourish
