How much testing do you need to figure out that going from breaking all roots to breaking none is going to hurt? It's not a min/max case of theorycrafting here, it's "We used to be able to break roots and prevent being kited - now we can't". It's like going from being able to move to not being able to move and then trying to figure out how that might affect you in PvP.

Doesn't take a rocket surgeon.

And reports from the PTR are looking grim. As in "Frost Mages completely counter us now" and "Hunters and even Death Knights can kite us to death" and "Warlocks and Spriests just rip us a new one".

Yeah, I'd say the reports are universally bad. Even high-ranked Ferals are bailing out.

Like someone said on the forums, what's up with Blizzard nerfing anything but the cause of the issue? It's like when Arcane Mages became OP and they nerfed the 3-minute Mage setup instead of Arcane Barrage which was the real issue. Now Ferals are OP because of their Mastery and they nerf shapeshifting instead of the Mastery.

Really, I don't ******* get it.

Holy crap guys! I'm almost at 14k posts.
What should I do for 14k ding?

I'm trying but I'm not going to sink to TPO's level.
Also, gratz on getting back your #5 spot on the postcount ranking.

No, he got banned.

Warnings to stop being such an *** in =10 + ignoring those warnings.
Imagine me+Theo at our worst in most posts vs an audience that is comparable to the O-boards.

Laughing that hard?

That's why I don't visit the O-boards, too many delicate flowers who ignore theorycrafting to play their way and insist that their way is better without proof beyond how they feel that this is better or it just seems better to them.



Those people make me rage, like rage.

Grats Æth. Have this.

Grats Aeth! PFORU and all that...

Also, how does one find the top posters page? I've tried looking for it a few times and so far I've been unsuccessful.

Gratz on 14k Aeth.

I started slacking after I hit 5k, need to start posting more again, really need to finish the sticky first though.

Mazra, I have a newfound appreciation for your country thanks to the Scandinavia and the world comic that Kali linked me today and apparently someone linked in this thread somewhere.


Either way, yay Denmark.

The shapeshifting change doesn't matter much in PvE, except for maybe the last guy in Vortex Pinnacle, but if you're rolling with a healer, which I hear is good in heroics, you should be fine.

It will, however, make Ferals free HK to anyone with a root or a fear. And I'm not in the PvP game at all, at least not on Arena levels (and I hear Battlegrounds are ridiculous due to huge health pools, resilience and OP Holy Paladins), but I kinda like being able to stand a chance out in the world when some random jackass comes after me while I'm questing.

If that random jackass is a Mage, Hunter, Priest or Warlock, I'm just a free kill. Berserk? Sure, but it not making us immune to fear effects anymore means that a clever opponent will hit the CC button the moment we pop it. Even a Warrior can fear us and laugh as we run around afraid. Ignoring the fact that Berserk is named after the viking berserker who were infamous for their LACK OF FEAR of anything.

Way to gut a talent, Blizzard. Not to mention the whole class.
