PSA: Ferals Stop Using +Wep Dmg

To all Feral Druids...

It has been confirmed by the GM Team that the use of +Weapon Damage enchants and Weight Stones/Sharpening Stones is considered bug abuse and will result in a ban if you use it. Please remove these enchants from your weapons and discontinue your use of Weight Stones/Sharpening Stones or risk being perma-banned.

That is all.

WHAAAAAT? Seriously?


How the fuck are feral druids supposed to even be decent if they don't have +damage weapon enchant + sharpening?!?

The same way they're supposed to be decent playing with 16 debuff slots that preclude keeping bleeds up.

Yea, it's a real bummer, Taxoro. There were some "vanilla purists" crusading against this since apparently on vanilla retail feral forms didn't receive benefit from +Wep Dmg enchants and/or Weight/Sharpening Stones. It's a shame since this was hardly a game-breaking mechanic and simply gave feral a nice little boost to be competitive on dps meters. Alas, today is a bad day for feral druids.

Say that to the Warlock/Mage that Finalflash nearly one shots. Somewhat joking (that video will be burnt into my mind foreverrrrrrr), but it is also a favorable bug for Druids in PvP. The only reason why Cat form was nerfed during Nost release was because some Rogue QQ'd about them being beaten by a Cat.

The Finalflash video where he crits a cloth-wearer for 1,750? That's hardly OP. Even without the weightstones and enchants, I've ravage crit clothies for over 2,000.

Didn't say it was OP, said it was a favorable bug.

You want to be useful in raids? Play resto.

You want to be laughed out of raids? Play feral or oomkin.

You want to PvP? Do whatever you want, I guess. (I admit to knowing squat about Druids in PvP.)

PanTheSatyr, might want to do some research before you make a claim like that. Based on your guild's most recent BWL, I would have been the #1 DPS in that raid. Before raidstats reset, I was averaging 500 DPS vs. BWL bosses.
