I don't see how there's no Druid nerf inc...

I say this as a druid. I just don't see how they can nerf DKs so hard, leave warriors where they are, and leave Druids where they are. On the other hand, Paladins are looking just about as crazy as druids if 3.2 goes live as-is.

But I can feel it. It has to be coming. What do you think it'll be?

I'm guessing it will be a mechanic change to drop our HP (in BiS) by around 5k, and reduce our passive mitigation by ~2%. Perhaps nerf savage defense a bit... perhaps down to 15%-20% of AP.

The situation here is just... Wow :-\

As much as I know druids are going to need a nerf after the patch, and as much as I'd like things to be properly balanced... well, I will regret it when it happens because I'd really like to be seen as a main tank class for once. No matter how hard warriors suck, the player psyche dictates that they are MTs. When druid tanks start to suck they lose their novelty and it's back to DPS for us :(

There is going to be a "Patchwerk" on the PTR if there isn't already. Let him beat on you a little bit with different gear sets and rotations and report your numbers. We'll probably make a thread where you can post the numbers, but regardless we should be able to find them anywhere on these forums.
