I am worried about end game scaling for feral druids. We look at the new talents given to us and drool a little. I mean 6% dodge and 12% damage reduction are an amazing addition to a class that didn’t have them earlier. Heck 1 is better than 0 any day.
I assume with the additions we will be a fairly viable tank right out of the gate. In fact, given our mitigation with TBC gear and the above we are looking pretty sweet. I guess I’m asking what happens when warriors/paladins again scale well with upgrades – their gear continues to improve them – while our rogue gear continues to underwhelm?
If it takes 40.3agi to gain 1% dodge we will rapidly fall behind other tanks in the scaling game. I’m all for us to come out of the gate strong, but I’d really like us to be able to look at gear upgrades as a HUGE positive not just a trivial difference. I would like to look forward to getting loot rather than just be ho'hum wow that won't help me much.
I hear GC talk about all these knobs to turn. Please for the love of all that is warcraft include some level of scaling in our abilities. That is a knob we need more than any other. I do ever so enjoy being given a flat % vs nothing, but it would be amazing if this percentage scaled with where we are going and not just where we are.
For how open and wonderful the dev’s are being now, I would like to see some foresight being given to a year from now.
As currently purposed we will gain very little as we gain gear. AP for sure; not much else. Should we possibly have our dodge/agi ratio changed instead of a flat dodge rate? Or some type of armor adjustment added to our talents? We need to scale with agi, stam and ap as these are the stats on our gear. The flat %'s given don't quite solve this problem and make gear almost irrelevant in the mitigation race.
I would like some posts that explore other ways to scale and keep the gear cycle worth investigating; any thoughts on how to keep us scaling properly?
P.S. I do ever so enjoy the direct DR given as it is our first hope against magic damage, but will this too be outpaced as we are in rogue gear with very slow scaling armor and the other tanks have proper tank gear? GC et al. please address future scaling and show us light is at the end of the tunnel? I do not wish to top out in level 80 blues.
I understand we need to trust in the devs and wow are they doing an amazing job on the expansion, but some info would be nice.
