0. GC: Any teaser on Feral DPS? 02/03/2009 07:00:29 AM PST
Q u o t e: Cats might be falling behind other melee classes. This is something we are monitoring and discussing. There are some new glyphs coming in 3.1 which are more PvE-oriented and that might help some.

Besides new glyph, do you have any teaser for us feral druids on making our DPS more competitive?
I was around top 3-7 DPS (depending on fight in Naxx-25 early stage, but now I can barely make top 10. I've been around for a while, and this kinda remind me of a year ago: my TBC damage, going from SSC/TK => Hyjal/BT where my damage scaled really badly compared to other class.
Maybe because our AP (or FAP rather) is overly inflated, even with Savage Roar? Maybe it's the fact that we do not "gain" as much as we should have when we pick up a new weapon, compared to other melee classes like rogues/warrior/DK/enh shaman? We gain only increased AP but stuck with 1.0 speed swing pre-haste vs. gaining DPS via higher top/low end from new, better weapon.

May want to edit GC out of the title. Neth might give you a temp ban if she has the edit the title for you.

As far as melee dps goes, we think rogues, cats and Arms warriors are all a little low. We haven't announced specific changes yet but they are coming.

Buff their damage.. but do something about ferocious bite critting for 10k

Believe they are. Either an execution like cap such as Sudden Death change or making it use a flat energy cost like Eviscerate.

This is terrific news. I've been waiting for a Blue announcement on this. W00t for competitive dps!
Edit: now if only we could get an update on when new feral models are coming...

Nice to know that blizz is working on fixing our PVE dmg. And for the people crying about 10k FB, get over it. Feral still doesn't have the utility to be in a 2k+ team (i know there are a few there, but its a very low %). TBH, I'm fine with a FB nerf if they gave us some buffs in other aspects. Make infected wounds reduce cast speed by 25% stacking twice for example.
On a side note GC, any info on the new tanking idol and skin models that we have been getting promised for months now?
