Feral Druid Weapons - Blue Tracker

#0 - Dec. 11, 2008, 3:27 p.m.

"Some feral weapons have had strength converted to attack power to be more appealing to other classes able to equip them."

Please, tell me I'm just having a bad dream... Please. :(
Otherwise, our weapons have just became hunter's weapon. :/

Could any blue PLEASE tell me which weapons got this treatment?

If all our staves are like this now, hello warriors, I'll be taking your maces.

Edit: I must get killed by saying this, but anyway, here it goes: Devs, if you don't want us to have any strenght in our gear, don't make it so good for us. Nerf it and compensate in some other way.

It will be a slight nerf, but we're talking such a slight nerf that I would be surprised if you noticed it.

An item like the Staff of Trickery would give you a 10 AP loss, or 30 AP with Kings, after this change.

We use a conversion of 1 Str = 2.33 AP with Survival of the Fittest and Kings. I'm not sure where the extra AP is coming from in the conversion quoted above.

Q u o t e:
1 Str = 2.332 AP (2.5652 AP) (Cat)

I think to get that 2.56 you have to also multiply by the 10% AP Heart of the Wild bonus. But you get that regardless of whether the item gives you Strength or AP.

1 Str = 2 AP
2 AP * 1.06 for Survival of the Fittest = 2.12
2.12 AP * Imp Blessing of Kings = 2.32

In any case, we're talking about pretty small numbers for a Feral with 5000+ AP.

Q u o t e:

What does that have to do with anything? It still exists, they aren't adding more appealing weapons, and on top of that they are making hunters want our weapons. Our already very hard weapons to get just became harder.

In all fainess there are some nice high DPS 2-hand maces in Naxx.

Go arm wrestle the death knights for Inevitable Defeat. Best cat weapon now? Maybe.

Q u o t e:
GC, so all weapons will grant 14*(DPS-55) Attack power to druids in feral forms? If so does that effect non-weapon weapons like fishing poles? Will my mastercraft fishing pole grant me 1841 AP in feral forms?

Yes, fishing poles will do fine dps. They typically suffer from stat allocations though.

Q u o t e:
Protector of the Pack now Increases your attack power by 6% and reduces the damage you take by 12% while in Bear or Dire Bear Form. (Old - Only worked with Bear/Dire Bear Form, damage reduction was dependant of the amount of players in the group).

I don't believe we made any changes here. It could just be they are picking up the change because we reworked the talent to get rid of the group size dependency.

Q u o t e:
That's why they should open polearms to druids.

That's just crazy talk.

OR IS IT?
