What’s New for Feral Druids in The War Within?
As for what’s new in 11.2, Feral Druids now receive a 30 second cooldown Maim instead of its original 20 second cooldown back in 11.1. This is a massive nerf to their control, further reducing their uptime on targets. However, their bleed damage is now a bit stronger than it was in the past thanks to an increase in uptime to Bloodseeker Vines as well as a buff to Sabertooth.
Entering into our generic The War Within talent changes, we now have newly revamped talent trees. These make Cyclone, Astral Influence, and Renewal way more accessible without having to select extra talents we find no use out of. Now we can select talents we weren’t as capable of picking up, especially Typhoon, which is primarily used to pseudo-interrupt casters, or to put players in poor positions, predominately in Blade’s Edge Arena.
Diverting from our class and spec talent trees, we are now given a new category of talents referred to as Hero Talents, with each spec having two specific trees they can choose from. For Feral Druids, this is Wildstalker and Druid of the Claw.
Wildstalker is currently our preferred pickup, and with Saber Jaws experiencing massive nerfs to Ferocious Bite‘s damage output, Druid of the Claw is currently a bit weaker in terms of overall throughput.
Playstyle for Feral Druids
As for our playstyle, we experience a huge shift to how we prioritize our damage, and if you aren’t too familiar with Feral’s playstyle back in Dragonflight, this required us to successfully land Cyclone from our PvP talent, Wild Attunement, to initiate a lot of burst damage from Feral Frenzy. Now, those days are long gone, as Wild Attunement has been removed from our selection of potential PvP talents, making us more proactive in Cat Form in order to deal damage.
Overall, We see that playing in Cat Form becomes way more rewarding than it used to in Dragonflight, making this spec feel more enjoyable and fluid when we deal damage.
