ideally, do you want a 5pt rip?
playing resto druid w/ feral affinity a legit spec for world pvp? I'll play solo so no friends to heal, just self-healz
@shy plaza it does the same dps, it's only a matter of the uptime
@knotty harbor It's currently very legit though I expect at least to a certain extent that it might not be as good once SL hits simply because at some point once people start to get gear and other self heal stuff; it won't be as easy to whittle people down as much....
Thanks @rich crag , another question, which would be better, resto with feral aff using feral gear or resto gear? For 1v1 btw
I use my resto gear with the dps trinkets (claw, the voodoo totem)
I am no pro much more experienced in feral 1v1s but the resto one is kinda neat to play around with since you have such a ton of survivability. Of course it's prepatch atm so its still easy to die haha
Take master shapeshifter and HOTW for some really surprising punching power
as resto, use resto gear. intellect is converted into attack power as resto, so you do not need agility. also, resto doesn't really benefit from feral azerite, so you can just take stat-traits and deal more damage effectively. make sure to use obsidian claw
also, agility simply has no effect for resto druid
Thanks bakadhi. Also, is this (playing resto w feral aff as dps in wPvp) just cheese or like real legit? Keep in mind that Ill never heal in pve (friend is a healer, not interested in it anyways) or if I want to pvp should I just go regular feral?
are there any news on resto covenants come SL? We are not so far from release..
Last I knew was that Necro was the way to go for pvp.
Is this still the case?
I couldn't follow the beta changes in the last weeks.
@knotty harbor feral druids can deal more damage and that more consistently than resto druid. They also have greater burst damage. If you are not interested in healing anyone in pvp but want to play cat form, you most likely should give feral a try, regardless of how strong it is
Yeah what bakhadi said is pretty accurate lol.
Also with the right talents now feral can do some pretty good healing (Notably, HOTW, resto affinity and I recently learned Strength of the Wild is awesome for spot burst heals on your teammates)
Gotta love Cyclone not taking up a PvP talent slot anymore
Gotta love Cyclone not taking up a PvP talent slot anymore
@polar nymph so agree ๐
how is boomy for arena and rbg?
yes
no restos in here? ๐ฆ

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eq0PEdtrArI&ab_channel=Vego%26Bego lmao whaazz almost said the n word
woho amazing
XD
For stats for Rdruid how much mastery should I get? I feel like vers is pretty competitive for healing plus the defensive and offensive stat ofc
@patent dove Iโm still learning Druid but as feral I just feel super weak
Whereas as resto 1v1 I feel unkillable with lots of burst with hotw and feral aff
thats prepatch
The sustain for feral with resto aff is just not there
Well I imagine resto will be even better in SL
you wont get feral burst as resto
with hotw perhaps its strong, got any clips?
but that's 5m cd and even then its not the same lvl
yeah you could reduce the cd with conduits, or wear the hotw leg
you like it more over ff?
I feel like bt slows down your burst
cuz jungle mirrors were super fast
and only thing that matters
was a drest breath
and few more combo points to maim were usefull
it was shit last time I checked on the beta
but I guess they changed shaman quite a lot
I mean I faced them, havent played it myself
it was the worst healer
maybe you're bad and lose to them for no reason
:>
oki ๐
youre also playing on prepatch not beta, right?
so what do you find strong about resto shamans, what covenant are you using?
Without Tiger Fury leggo and Cov ability does a feral even do real dmg outside of Zerk...?
u swapped from rogue or whats up
last time shred did some dmg, was a incarn shred in legion
before nerfs
wish shred did its crap base dmg but also beld
bled
brutal is just like this weird thing I dont want in pvp but have no choice lol
Im not a fan of slash either, its shit
I think one of the main reasons for not liking slash is simply because there should be something more lucrative of functional then simply an aoe version of shred with a bit less energy. It's underwhelming.
anyone have a good resto druid ui?

Bite deal so hard, feral is S tier atm. Hope we'll stay fine for sl, i think so
2200 with a DP ungeared as me (12k HP). were are bothe alt, ofc we got somes loot after this
yep
Baguette
i'm not a main, same for DP, and we got this with 2 day of playing, so S for me
Says you are 0 rating ATM
Its what i said Uh
never said smth diff
@obtuse ice idk why, only my main's cr is refresh right
I dont really think you're undergeared eithter
current arena is really not any base for putting any class in a tier
because arena give me some gear now, i was ungeared. My matchs are mostly 20k HP vs 17 at this elo
isnt 90% of them still double dps?
mostly 30% now i think
He is french don't listen to him 
but below 2k 70% y
ty
which scales better with gear, balance, feral or sub rogue?
PUmping aren't I
๐ค
@obtuse ice get that bread
@upbeat sequoia prolly cuz no one rly cares what sum duelist alt druid thinks about the stat of feral. Sry if it comes off as harsh but like I got to 2655 cr in 3s last season and I'll be the first to admit I'm a donkey trashcan who knows nothing about this game. Wouldn't presume to call something S tier after 10 arena games at 1800 mmr, it's just meaningless.
Only advice/ suggestions I would take from ppl in here would be from Fuji/formy/glyph cuz they're actual gamers. Tian/ele for feral specific stuff.
It's prepatch every dps is busted just wait til slands for everything to settle.
what considered bis for resto pvp in terms of covenant
Necrolord @sinful lance adaptive swarm and fleshcraft bis
anyone know how resto druid does with hunter/warrior :3
Rdruid synergies with almost everything in 2s, those 2 comps are fine @fallen scarab
Oh yea prolly not the best
convince ur hunter to go sp/lock/mage lol
@obtuse ice they are stuck in placement games, as he said playing for 2 days, farming apes with also placements or 1.8k mmr players
There is no season, so they are stuck there forever
U can go for like 500:0 win/lose ratio in this case
Whats looking best Covent for feral pvp?
all of them looks good at some point
cuz of the main spell u get, or a talents u can add in a talent tree
but rn it seems kyrian>night fae
they changed something about Valiant strike
not sure what
I'm feeling kyrian because it buff partner aswell. So double the damage. Where nightmare fae is alot more bust damage but is easily countered with a stun
but if it still works like used to
it heals for a lot
+the poison/bleed remover
when u drink a potion
i could see it like that
Kyrian isnt easly countered by a stun
compared to necro that is a magic debuff and can be dispeled easly
or venthyr that u mostly have to line up with a zerker so that does anything
imo kyrian is the safest pick
biggest rng night fae by far
u can possibly one shot ppl, with good rng and if no one interrupts u
if nothing changes me too
maybe i will try night fae on alt
tho
but rly dont like night fae talent trees tho
oh necro ability is dispelable? rip
it used to be, but now i checked wowhead
its no more magic there
and i cant log to the beta
im debating nf over kyrian
night fae talents looks trash on paper
im 90% sure it's far less consistent
full cast of night fae with good rng can win a game
yeah but sometimes vs good players there's no way for you to set it up even
shaman groups will definitely be harder to set up for
there is too many small anoying cc in the game
like spam fear
coils
and other shit
night fae will be stronger for 2s
for sure
but kyrian, something about not being able to utilize it alone feels eh
oh you can?!
havent tested it myself, but i think Fore said it
yeah you can
What's kyrian tred
cuz someone else gets a dmg also
not only u
u and the other dps gets dmg
if u connect with yourself
only u get the damage
I guess I gotta read up on how that works
seems extra af
oh, so that's how it works, basically if you just buff them and do nothing they get nothing
you gotta build it up so they can make use of it
yeah, but you only build up during empowerment, right?
we dont
from what im looking at on more recent videos i dont see any mention of this pool
it looks like just a cd
yeah im gonna jump on the beta and see how it works
this or this
i can see being the way
i haven't touched beta yet probably should
I dont see the conduit you speak of
honestly i cant see a way to die
with all this shit
and guardian affinity
lmao
if they balance it ofc
cuz rn some abilites still hits for more then your hp pool
i dont expect any of this to be balanced in the slightest
did they ever revisit pve trinkets after admitting they were broken ages ago?
aint nobody got time for that
dont think so
they literally said that they weren't tuned and this was like a month+ ago
surprised they haven't done anything yet in that case
maybe they expect them to either balance it when they find time
or just slap a hard nerf on it /disable
imo removing pve trinkets isnt a good idea, let them be, but worst then pvp ones
so they would have to nerf it by like 80%
or so
what happen with necrolords for feral?
okay if you bond with yourself you just get a 15% buff
dream is over, we are bite spammers again @hazy shale
I mean why do you think bites is not the way to go. It's preferable for pvp
big bursts
its too much dmg no to play around that?
it wasnt a bleed spec in bfa and its not gonna be one in sl ;d
feral has been most enjoyable for me when it's emphasis has been on dot damage
and it changed a lot in bfa
it made it somewhat unique to play
in legion it was almost perfect, bleeds were big, bites were too
but we had no clone
the biggest legion issue
ye legion feral was actually really fun, especially after what happened to it in wod
imo with the gear we will get
and everything
in pve necrowill be rly strong
so bleed build
and it might be viable for pvp at some point
I mean the necrolord shield also looks like it'd be pretty damn good in PvP
assuming they didn't change it since i last checked
for healers its so good
I wouldnt say its that good
the inmune for rogues
with the soulbind that gives cc immunity?
idk
dont think so its that good
but might be wrong
depends how fast the meta is
but for healers
its super good
depends on the absorb amount as well with all the gear etc
cc immunity is useless if it breaks in 2 seconds
the health bonus is nothing
ye it gives u immunity, but u put almost all your talent shit
into one trick pony shield
its all about the immunity
that might let u immunite something or not
the ozzee is good tho
the only usage of this is if you bigbrain prefleshcraft blind or something
i have to agree
ooze's healing adds up
idk we will see
does Podtender even work in pvp?
im really losing the will to play shadowlands before its even out which has never been the case before
i've just seen a lot of issues that i would've hoped would be fixed before launch
well
people have said that after many previous expansions
it can't be worse than WoD
It can't be worse than legion
A lot of people didn't like cata/mop at the time even.
I agree
in hindsight we can say more obviously
I just think they have some decent ideas, the question is, how will they botch it
I just have a bad feeling about it when I'm usually optimistic about expansions before launch
im mostly worried that you cant really pvp to pvp
im not a fan of soulshape for nf, especially since it also takes you out of your form
so maybe kyrian is the way, as boring as it is
at least it's 15% buff every minute
what are the current best cov for boomy in pvp?
i rly dubt night fae will be bis for feral
like there is too many rng factors
it does nothing if u dont roll few bites
with lower cd that would be beyond broken in pve
because it doesnt cast spells you have on
so if you pre bleed, pre buff
you have a high chance for 5 bites
ez
yeah
Night fae
kyrian bis
Is shite
night fae for super rng yolo
Kyrian biw
and necro for more dot pressure
Venthyrs m+
kyrian will be the best if bites are the way to go
kyrian is better for m+
Kyrian all away UP
well not the bond, but the buff could be, why would it be dumb
plenty of such abilities are
that does it make it slightly worse
way worst
oh lord
way way worst
especially for a long ass buff
its 10s
well, ive jsut tested on myself and its a flat 15% dmg buff for 10s
ill try to find someone to bond with
and is that one also magic?
i meant the allied empowerment was, wasn't sure if the lone one was also
the point about kyrian being magic
puts necroa bit higher imo
necro can make a FF
big dam
with soulbind also
there is too many unknow factors
to decide
what will be the best
It depends on how everything plays overall as well
iam 90% sure we gonna bite bite bite
just choose one and then switch if something turns out better
with everything else in the game as a factor
bt is so slow tho
cuz u get insta damgur
u dont have to wait for it
no its not slow
with FF and a lot of combo u gets
from TF
bt is really easy to proc
u might be super energy starved
bt is a passiv now
honestly
if u play BRS
u proc it randomly
so you rake>tf>rip>zerk>trash>slash>shred>bite>slash>bite
i wante dto have 2 cp after it, but I forgot im not gonna get them after second bite then...
so it's shit
it's slower on the opener than ff
i can see it like, rake thrash brs (brs till 5 cp) BT rip
get another 5 cp
meanwhile getting fresh BT proc
and then u go for double bite
with TF
yeah but thats slow as fuck
and kyrian
i don't feel like BT feels slow at all even on prepatch
if you can just rake>rip>ff>bite>slash>bite its much faster
but you want more bleeds on the target anyway because of the bite conduit
so I guess you can spend some time setting up anyway
hell, rake>rip>ff>bite>slash>bite>slash>bite
3 bites in fairly quick succession
u will be oom
feral does kind of feel energy starved at times
yes
thats always been a thing, hence pooling
and why autoattack/bleed damage accommodates for that being a thing
thats whyi feel like bt will be decent
not worth it in that case
i swear all the bites mod will make feral broken
tf bt kyrian soublind
almost 15% from soulbind 15% from kyrian 30% from BT and 15% from TF
and 25% additional crit dmg
that was added back in sl
also bite is 20% nerfed in pvp
i swear the double BT bite with all of this
and with FW so -20% max hp
on top of that
juice
kinda makes me horny
ngl
on paper it looks good but it really depends on what every other spec is capable of doing
true
also isn't FW only 15% now after the nerf or did they revert it?
since its 5% and stacks 3 times
did they/
yep
i dont know about this
it only makes us more into keep tunneling-biting one target
since it was double 8% in bfa
now its triple 5%
iam not sure about the change
they buffed it to 2x10 and then nerf to 3x5
maybe its good enough
theres a lot of good options instead
high winds got buffed a lil bit also, would be a good pick
sotw/thorns/high winds/momentum/leader/fw all seem pretty decent
i can see myself swapping between stuff a lot
have been hit by slam for half my hp too
ah yea forgot about that
i probably should log on beta now that i doubt a lot will change between now and launch
there should be a lot of changes pvp wise, but they are not gonna make it
just number changes at the top
or make sl release in 2k21
ye there needs to be but theres only 2 weeks to go
and give us like leveling content for xmas
no way they can delay it again this close
activision will make them push it out regardless bet
i mean
it could be perfect
naxxramas 3 dec
sl leveling meanwhile
and early january the juice
SL
everyone would be happy
except Activision
indeed i'd be fine with them delaying it til whenever as long as it's good
also with a number of abusers in beta
that plays double pve trinket
and legit one shot u in 1/3 of the cheap shot duration
have fun with any pvp testing
its gonna be an open beta trust me
usually how it goes
even if it launches and the stuff gets fixed fast im fine with it
just worried that they won't until the season is already underway
im playing beta now, the burst still there ๐
so you basically dot, go bear, pull resources
cc in the meantime and pump when theres a window
Any idea what covenant resto Druid is taking ๐ค
Okay so the dmg aura was buffed on beta too
@noble quail so general consensus is necrolord because it is reliably applied. I will however take night fae because itโs the coolest covenant ability in the game and i am sure you can make it work
Might require set up and practice
Thank you!
convoke is the most interesting one by far, sadly the soulbinds and signature ability are kind of meh
I guess something like thishttps://shadowlands.wowhead.com/soulbind-calc/night-fae/niya/druid/ApbqAQU1ywYSBTXGBhUyygYhFTJJBg
N?????
when u have bleeds
why
cuz incap kinda shit
its a disorient..
very unfort
why resto is better than guard then
but i can see resto being good in sl
resto better
But when you play BT
you're not a war you dont go full mongo
thrash is just a shred that is overtime
and get used to thrasing u gonna play with soulbind
that insc your bite dmg
per bleed on target
and thrash is just shred
but in a dot
how
Imagine playing dot class
๐ฆ
CUZ THEY ARE ALREADY GIVING U FREE CYCLONE
language barrier i dont get what ur sayin u ruski
why free cyclone if they stuck
why is pvp druid so pepega btw I thought all the cool kids play subs
wtf is stuck
OFC
why is healer stacking giving u free clone
he said that
^
then u can't roar
in 3s I played
not uncommon for dps to stack on healer when trap is up either
ya i played vs hpal version of that
so u stay right there and cast cyclone
and they all played same place
u dont have to roar
ya but its not a free clone
^
is what im saying
u cast till u get a cyclone or till the hunter can trap
cba casting for 20s to juke 3 ppl for a 6s cc
it will be fun with warrior intervening the healer
u barely cloned in bfa anyways
dont think that will change that much
now u have the button without wasting pvp talent but idk if its gonna be worth cloning all game either way
bad regen
u get regen for free
or just going for roar cyclones
what's conduit
yes
same with
ya
thats why i feel like guardian will be better
its just RN resto aff a lot better
just for our own survi
but once we get conduits its over
strenght too
gonna be kinda nutty
bigbite
strength already very very good too
i just played resto aff vs casters last season tbh
cuz i was healing a lot with it
with momentum
i didnt like it that much
its ok
prefer hearth of the wild
so hunter can pump dmg from the range
and iam offhealing between the goes
perhaps if you can get hotw to 3m

its better
if the meta is super fast
and there are thug cleaves and rmx
that plays super fast games
Hotw will be good
Begining of xpac will be like that
yup
I don't really like
wut you dont like fast pace?
no
imo arena should be like 2-3 min long
who the fuck doesnt like fast pace
the perfect arena
3s 2/3 min?
yeah
??
oh he's baguette?:D
GO quest in uldum
pve player
filthy
How can IT be skilled if you are one shotting the openent
wouldn't be skilled at all
yes
LMAO
TWO INCARNS
AHAHA
ye, u finish with incarn
not sotf?
u have sotf from legendary ofc
ah didn't read legendary
yes
you pick TF leg ofc
apes legends?
rusky
not good
do you even pvp
Do you remmeber the rip trait
8% to get a cp
imagine it's a free bite instead
fkn lit
ah it's 4
mb
you fkn play primal wrath yhea
why do you want to play feral and not a real spec btw?
Because I'm hypster
well I guess im in the same boat then
welcome on boat
woop woop
well they look viable on beta at least
Hello, it is currently a thing since it is a bursty class and low hp and big damage, so currently a thing YES
boomy is nutty on beta lol
wouldnt it depend on tick rate and multi dotting?
the apex legendary
would probably need to do some calc on it given the secondary change but with a solid enough tickrate and 2 targets with rip it might workl
Such a good vocabulary Glyph :o
whats everyone favorite pvp resto weakauras?
one that plays this when they die:
About covenants for balance druid, is it advised to go Necrolord or Night Fae?
Why Kyrian?
Iโd of thought night fae would do insane burst if you position yourself properly
whats the general consensus on whats the go-to covenant for feral atm
there's no consensus, it's not a clear cut
also no stuns, kicks
the heal-phials are also pretty nutty
pity kyrian is just boring af
So with Kyrian are we just bonding with ourselves? Itโs a 15% damage increase right?
well if you're with another dps you probably bond with him
but solo its just 15% for 10s for you, not too bad
dispellable
you guys know how much/how often kindred empowerment uses the pool on healing when you're below 100%? Also, when would it grant absorption rather than healing?
As I understand it kindred doesn't heal you or absorb anything on its own. Pool is just spent empowering your every action. Hence it will empower your healing spells and also passives. Say if you have Resounding Protection (just use it as example, azerite wont be there in SL obviously) renewal during kindred it will empower the shield and use the pool for it. Similarly if you have Ysera's Gift ticking it will also get empowered and draw from the pool. And so on...
If that's true, that's good news. There could be some usefulness in using it to offheal, idk
and you dont get anything for yourself if you empower it?
Does anyone know of some good videos or twitch streamers to check to find out how Balance plays in SL?
Not just how good it is but what the playstyle is, which abilities used etc. I heard someone say that eclipse is hardly used 'because moonkins mostly cast instants ' and that surprised me abit
@upbeat sequoia idk if they stream but corki or lazergarbben I think is his name
Long time boomkins
Awesome, gonna check em out thanks :)
It's Corkiri apparantly btw
Couldnt find lazergarbben tho
Got ilvl 100 with all prepatch gear. But i die so fast and i would say kinda low dmg output. Is dat normal lol.
So , Regarding high rated arena , where are we about convenant, Kyrian, Kyrian Kyrian?
Can we see a play with necrolord for a more rot play style or is just just not relevant? :/
And if I m right, Circle of Life & Death comes from the raid , so we just stack or legendary ressources and wait ? ๐ฆ
Edited : foor Oomkin
Im feral, and if i have guys with 18k+ HP they just melt me.
Waiting for Sl than, knda not fun.
yeah it sucks hard, but there's nothing we can do about it
Yeah sure, just wanted to try some alts before SL
just wait it out, at least you have some gear for questing, not sure if you'll be replacing that with first quest rewards or not
Yeah will be fine for questing, just not sure with warmode. Probably will be fine at lvl 55+
@open verge Speakin' Boomkin , forgot to specify
no
i just read some changes u.u
now im confused
i dont know what to pick this system is trash
yeah the choices for druid seem scuffed
for example its pretty clear cut for priest or hunter
there's a clear winner for pvp
lowkey ure trash
if you're mainly about 1v1s or 2s perhaps nf ;d but otherwise eh
hows nf for resto in pvp?
much worse than necro
I dont think you can let yourself hardchannel as resto when you need big heals ;d
especially since its on nature school
I think it requires certain situations to use like against double melee who canโt kick you when on max range or using it when the enemy team is ccโd. Itโs not a versatile oh shit button so you will have to get the feel of when to use it
I also think this will be awesome with cheese like elesham/arcane mage
When you basically burst an enemy
watching some beta footage feral seems kind of in the middle of the pack honestly
perhaps if they nerf outliers
what's wrong with prot pala in pvp ?
it's not even his azerite traits ... but isn't he way too strong ?
yes
i currently play my twink prot - first time really this evening.
i started with ilvl 100, and that's ridiculous
6 more games and i got 100 games, to have a "reliable" statistic ^^
Games 100 - Wins: 92 - Losses: 8
That's too much, definitely.
Is that a bite
You wish
Filthy
no
It's Destro speel
idk even what is was
deflegreation
inflextion
idk
but that crited for 14k
Lol I was about to say that's a rly good bite mdr
LMoa
na just unfort cuz bt in prepatch feels pretty bad
MDR
Md fucking r
ahahahaha
SHITGHAME
๐ฅฒ
@obtuse ice Was it Incinerate?
MDR
does anyone know if necrolord's adaptive swarm is a magic debuff and can be dispelled in pvp?
Yes
Does it move to another target if dispelled ?
Dont know, but dubt
@polar nymph I don't even know that a destro lock ability
It's the one where they shoot fire out that zigzags toward the target on the ground
Their core builder ability
@obtuse ice something to be proud of for sure, damn dude you're pathetic

Idk why he hate me๐ฅฒ
:(
its ok donโt listen to the dumb haters
I mean since I've been here you're just here to derail discussion, never bring anything valuable to it, keep on pepeging and memeing and clearly you're clueless about the game. /offtopic over

lol wtf
@stray sigil told you I'm garbage ๐


I understand pvp is shit in bfa and no one bothers to talk about it but damn this is the worst pvp channel of all class discords
4 people participating in total and mostly off topic lol, some nice circle jerk
at least from my side
yeah you're the only one discussing actual strategy
once ixpac hits, we will have more info about meta and how the spec gonna fit into it
ofc
so there will be more game talk
let them buff feral a couple more times and we'll see influx of fotm rerollers :>
I dont know, perhaps. But Im worried that we wont see a redistribution of dmg but just a flat nerf to bite
and then its just back to being shit
I'd rather them nerf all the insane hybrid healing rn
Hi all, I want to play with my friend 2s in SL. Can someone tell me what's the better healer to choose for climb? some dps too?
Anything can change at this point honestly
but I think either disc or rdruid should be really strong
rogue disc
any good feral pvp streamers?
there's tony too, but I would watch those two first personally
tonyferalmovies on twitch (i think)
snupy is very interactive and helpful, dunno about syfoxe
I hang out in syfoxe's chat and would say the same. They're both really good about interacting with chat
we said good
So Cassidy
Snupy isn't good, well better than most but just better than average
yea
arena123 or focus for you guys
both
Snupy is going to be better than anyone watching him ๐
and yeah forgot about cassidy
cassidy is best by far
Tony is also good, but most of his good plays are super Pepega
but if it works it works
yeah sometimes i feel like tony really sucks but then I remember how bad I am
cassidy rarely streams tho ๐ฆ
so I hang out in syfoxe's channel
watched some vods he's usually muted it seems?
his vods have a subscriber wall so I wouldn't know
I mean syfox
oh
