Feral druid damage issue

[Wongdoo]

Hey there,

I'm a lvl 14 Feral Druid and I've noticed that each time I get a new weapon, my damage remains the same.

I took 2 screenshots for better comprehension :

Does weapon damage really affect feral druid damage ? It's the case in official wow.

Thanks in advance

it's just a visual error on this server, will probably get fixed soon.

So you confirm that weapon base damage does affect feral druids autoattack damage ? Because I feel like my dps hasn't increased at all

[Lefeu]

Nooo, it shouldn't. Should it? Isn't weapon just a stat stick when shifted until tbc?

Yep.

The dps of your weapon has no effect on your damage in feral forms. It is only the stats on the weapon (if any), such as strength, agility and attackpower that affects your feral form damage.

As a rule of thumb, what that means is you want weapons that have as much strength as possible. You can completely ignore the attackspeed and weapon dps and just look at the stats.

What about the weapon base damage (not its dps) ? Does it impact on yours ? Should I ignore it too ?

Anyway, thank you for clarifying that point

[Lefeu]

You are fighting with your paws. Consider yourself unarmed.

Yes, you should ignore that too.

Also, chance-on-hit effects on weapons do not work either.
For example, weapons that have chance on hit effects, such as shooting shadow bolts or causing bleeding dots, also do not work in feral forms.

Enchants that have chance on hit effects, such as crusader and lifestealing enchants, also do not work in feral forms.

Windfury totem does not work in feral forms.

Only raw stats, on your weapon work in feral forms. Attackpower, strength, agility, +hit and +crit.

Enchants made by enchanters, that give weapon damage or stats (such as enchant 2h-weapon: +9 weapon damage, or enchant weapon: +15 strength) also work.

All chance on hit effects that are NOT on a weapon work in feral forms. Setbonuses such as Stormshroud setbonus works in feral form, the Hand of Justice trinket works in feral forms.

Weightstones work in feral forms.

wall of text

Can agree with everything but would like to add this

the Hand of Justice trinket, as any other "Equip" item, works in feral forms.

What about weapons with "Use" effects, do those work while in an animal form. Like the Manual Crowd Pummeler +50% attack speed.
