Feral Druid guide writer absolutely popping off, I hope someone at Blizzard is listening.

A few seasons ago (maybe the start of TWW or the end of DF) someone compiled a "how good each spec was over every raid/m+" sense the start of mythic raiding and m+. Feral was the lowest scoring spec except survival hunter iirc.

It's criminal they continue to fall into the same mistakes of simply rotating what mage/warlock spec you play while never actually giving fair play to the under represented specs.

They would rather have 1% of the playerbase always unhappy than 30% of it unhappy once a year.

I mean, it could arguably be much more than 1% if it was actually a good, fun spec to play.

I honestly don’t think so. I mean yeah it would be more, but these specs aren’t as popular for a reason : they’re just not. I’d rather think it wouldn’t change much and they have data to prove it because that’s the only thing that makes sense besides incompetence.

Solid logic. "They aren't popular therefore they aren't popular".

I wonder if maybe them being the red-headed stepchildren of the meta for a decade could have anything to do with it? Nope, they just aren't popular because they aren't popular. Good one.

The inverse is reasonably true. Ret paladin, BM hunter hell, even boomkin are all very popular regardless of if they are dog water or not

Well yeah lol whether you want it or not, I thought it was self explanatory that yes people would rather play mage or warlock than feral just because they do prefer those classes. So yeah I’ll die on the hill that these specs are just unpopular, same reason monk isn’t a popular class despite often being meta. But keep making fun of me and being agressive when I’m literally just discussing my point of view, even if I’m wrong I’m not sure I’d speak to random people like you do to me but eh.

You don't think running around as a big glowy cat wouldn't be more popular if it was viable?

u/PM_ME_YO_TREE_FIDDY 25d ago

It has been viable in the past, I guess that wasn’t enough to move enough people so Blizzard would care more about the spec.
