Upcoming changes for the Druid class

Here is a small list of changes to the Druid class that are expected to be implemented in the next content patch:

• Rebirth cooldown reduced to 20 minutes, from 30 minutes.


• Tranquility now gains additional benefit from spell damage and healing bonuses.


• Cure Poison and Abolish Poison are now usable in Tree of Life Form.


• Remove Curse is now usable in Moonkin Form.


• Intensity (Restoration) increased to 10/20/30% mana regeneration.

Update:

• /cancelform will be recognized instantly. It should work the same way as /dismount works currently.

Q u o t e:
Hello Vaneras, ill just quote your post youve done couple monthes ago.

Q u o t e:
The Druid class is somewhat under-represented in the Arenas, which there of course are various reasons for. The developers are looking into the Druids overall performance in the Arenas, so I would say that it is too soon to give up on your Druid just yet. :-)

say to us something nice about ferals please in 2.3, something that will make me not give up on feral :-/

I did indeed post that some months back, because that was the news I had to post back then.

I have of course noticed that not much info has been released regarding feral changes in 2.3, so at this moment in time there is not much info available to back up the things that was said back then. It should however be noted that I was talking about Druids overall back than and not just Feral Druids. More info will become available as the next content patch draws closer though, so I would say that it is still too soon to declare doom and misery.

I personally do think that the proclaimed misery and uselessness of feral Druids is something that is very dramatized and exaggerated, but that of course is of little relevance to you. We will try to see if we can get some more info on Feral Druids in 2.3, however we cannot promise that you will hear anything on this in the immediate future.

Q u o t e:

Because 2.3, at least according to Tigole and Drysc is finished, there CMs were not allowed to talk about all changes now, or that all class changes were given to us already.

This is pretty much true, however that doesn't mean that there is absolutely no chance that we will see no additional changes or tweaks. Let's try to be less pessimistic and see how things goes, shall we?!

Q u o t e:
Also, that one amercan CM already stated, that there are no changes to Feral planned for 2.3...

This is indeed possible, but there will still be patches after 2.3 and we still have to test things on the PTRs. What I am trying to say is that things may not change at this very point in time, but if all the doom-singers and nay-sayers are right and Ferals really does turn out to be absolutely useless in the Arenas, then changes will happen to increase the viability of Ferals.
