patch 2.0.10 notes on the PTR

[ima_nerd]

Heh. They're claiming this is due to "internal testing" which "showed the druids' damage to be too high" (paraphrasing). That's AFTER telling us pre-TBC that they were testing extensively in order to make sure everyone did the right amount of DPS.

The amount to which Feral druids are being nerfed shows either, a.) Blizzard can't put 2 and 2 together (which I find unlikely), b.) a philosophy change (something like "Feral druids are not supposed to be competitive tanks") (which I find extremely underhanded), or c.) a knee-jerk reaction in response to 2/5ths of their population crying for nerfs and threatening to reroll/quit/whatever.

Could it be that there is going to be definitive, epic Druid tanking gear in the future? Would that help with the problems the nerf caused?

Also, welcome to the Lounge, Alliera:)Based on this thread, I hope you stick around and continue to contribute to discussions.
