Druid arena season 3 set for feral

Kommentar von Geno

A very interesting change from the previous sets for Druids. One big difference is the lack of +Healing on the set, as well as the inclusion of +Hit on it, which hasn't been seen on many Druid items so far.

The most interesting change is the glove bonus - Now giving Maim an interupt and lock for three seconds. At first I wondered the use, but now I see it's really good for keeping a burst going. Especially against a mage or Paladin. This will prevent a last minute bubble or a blink to get away once you're on them.

Definately an interesting change overall to this season's Glad set for Ferals. The lack of healing with the overall improvement of stat distrobution (in general) will make many complain about one thing or another - Noone will be perfectly happy, but either way, it's a solid set for PvP Ferals, and will still be solid in PvE content if earned.

I think the changes are an improvement, specifically for Ferals in arena. With the current sets the gloves bonus and +healing on them suggests the feral be in a hybrid role - i.e. DPSing, Cycloning and Healing. Unfortunately that means being in caster form, and ferals in caster form are easy targets. Everyone will tell you how feasable ferals in a hybrid role in arena are, but very few can actually make it work.

This set will allow us to stay in feral forms and do what we do best, and be an extremely valuable member of any arena team, even 5v5, where atm ferals are notoriously pointless. Combined with the direct shapeshifting changes in 2.3 Ferals are set to leap from one of the least useful arena classes to one of the most useful.

I will be keeping my previous Gladiators sets (with the +healing) for use in Battlegrounds, where knowing when to stop and heal your team makes you worth ten times your DPS.

Macroing to cast healing touch and then equip will easily give you 1000 +heal if you have the +heal feral talent. This easily makes up for the disappearance of +healing gear.

Playing arenas only in feral form is plain stupid. Spot heals, Cyclone and Roots are part of what we do. Fortunately this set still has valuable intellect.

The bonus hit is really great. It helps making this set overall very close to T6 in terms of pure pve damage dealing. It also helps in arenas a lot.

Now the stupid thing is the amount of crit rating on this set. Who the hell wants crit rating? The set lacks strength as well.

This season seems really different compared to season 2 and I wanted to see a side-by-side comparison. Here are some of the notes/thoughts I had while comparing them. Feel free to correct me/add to anything you see that I missed. Hope this helps.

Season 3 Dragonhide Set compared to Season 2 Dragonhide Set

Cons:

S3 loses strength that Season 2 had (S3: 159 | S2: 180 | Dif: -21), which hurts attack power and healing for those feral druids that have Nurturing Instinct, meaning that Season 3 loses 42 attack power and ~11 healing if you have nurturing instinct.
S3 loses all the +healing that Season 2 had (S2: 152).

Pros:

S3 gains a ton of agility compared to Season 2 (S3: 161 | S2: 118 | Dif: +43) meaning that armor, crit chance, dodge chance, and even attack power will be up. While we don't receive as much attack power as we do in cat form from strength, due to the change in the heart of the wild talent, at least we will still see an increase in attack power from this stat due to the HotW talent.
Stamina is up for S3 as well (S3: 254 | S2: 228 | Dif: +26). I don't really need to explain why this is good.
Intellect is up on S3 (S3: 112 | S2: 98 | Diff: 14). See stamina for explanation as to why this is a pro.

Misc:

S3 gains no more resilience than Season 2 had. Sure survival of the fittest helps reduce the chances you'll get crit (Mind you only by melee attacks), but with more resilience you might feel more inclined to spread those points out a little or even skimp on resilience on some of your other gear for more damage/healing and it still helps with spell/ranged crits as well as dots.
S3 has the same amount of attack power as Season 2 in Cat Form (1 point more actually, S3: 479 | S2: 478)
It seems that +hit/crit (mostly hit) is what has traded off with strength for this season. I deduced this due to the fact that the only piece of gear from S3 without +hit (the shoulderpads) has the same amount of strength and increased stats in all other areas.

???

Finally we have the newcomer for S3: +hit/crit. I'm not entirely sure what to make of this new addition to the stats for glad gear, but I do know that there is a large lack of +hit gear for druids in general and that having a higher crit rate could never hurt. As for how this compares to the change in str/+healing, I'm not entirely sure how to weigh it.

I myself was a fan of the AQ set bonus (https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/itemset=494) of refunding 30 energy on a failed finishing move...are we ever going to see that again? Maybe it will be a 45 point talent in the next expansion? Refund 30/60/100% of Energy cost on a Miss, Dodge, Block, or Parry?

Surprised nobody mentioned this, the total set includes 252 armor penetration. Combine that with FF, and you have a nice 862 armor ignore (well, FF reduces, so it's the same thing... right?) onto your target. =]

Perfect for taking down casters.

Kommentar von switchup

As mentioned by diz, the armor penetration is a huge bonus to fighing clothies. combined with the interrupt effect on the gloves this really improves our viability against cloth classes.

Kommentar von Lemonade

Check out the new 4 piece bonus.

4 pieces: Increases your movement speed by 15% while in Bear Form or Cat Form. Only active outdoors.

Hopefully this change won't go through for ferals in 2.4. Even if they are nerfing resto, they have no reason to nerf feral in the process.

Cat form is now faster than travel form with https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/spell=24866 .
