luuul. Good to know we are inching closer and closer to ladder while wolf druids are essentially in the same exact spot before the PTR. The level of incompetence is actually insane

Not gonna lie, I completely stopped playing D2R after that fiasco even after they reverted their nerf. I'm fully aware I'm being a whiny stubborn bitch about this and I don't have any problem with that. But I'm not gonna sit around while these developers, who have proven they lack any sort of concrete knowledge about shape shifting classes and their core mechanics, tinker with this class and act like they know what the hell they're doing. And meanwhile, other classes are getting significant changes and buffs when they're already overpowered (i.e., sorc & pally). This game really upset me, tbh. I would def come back if they made it so we can get IAS on other gear besides the weapon.



I agree completely. It is a huge let down. I have tried to play but it is hard and boring currently and knowing situation won’t change is bad. I like both public and GM duels, in public duels currently Wolf is basically useless, rabies has a chance against smitter/charger but not much, and that’s all there is because they are OP as hell lol

Situation versus caster is pretty bad too, because we move slow as hell.

Yea...all I can say is, I hope people are still making a big stink about this on both Reddit/Battle net forums where Blizz employees are hopefully looking at this feedback....I noticed something that kind of irked me when the revert of the nerf happened...the majority of the Battle.net forum users were like "thanks so much Blizzard! It feels so much better now, its definitely fixed" and other similar posts with that kind of language/verbiage and I'm just like... what the fuck? Lmao, those kinds of posts will do nothing to motivate the developers to take a closer look at wereform builds to buff them. Why are we thanking the developers for fixing a problem that they arbitrarily created for no reason? They should have fixed that within 48-72 hours IMO and given us at least a sense of what the future holds. Instead they just reverted it using lazy as fuck coding (keeping both IAS calculations in the game) and said "we'll see what happens in the future!" Blizz fixing a problem they created after a week (and them doubling down on it and insinuating the player base is too dumb to see how awesome it is) is not something to thank them for and I can't believe people were actually satisfied with that.

The reaction was a huge let down, sure it’s good they reverted it to be as bad as it is now, but when they said Druid would receive the most buffs and we get nothing, there’s nothing to thank them for.

I think we should all spam the hell out of this thread: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/d2r/t/teleport-in-shapeshift/107165/46

Maybe they give us FRW skill, to be honest having a hard time seeing tele fury being OP, but tele smite, unblockable, always hits AND better fcr being “fine” lol, not to mention paladin has charge

I just made a long detailed post there- I don't personally know if allowing us to tele is the right course of action but mobility is a huge issue (second to IAS imo) and I put my thoughts out there

I hope this is it - I've wanted to use a windy fury druid bur gave up because of the constant shifting back and forth and slow attack speed - with how this change sounds both of those issues should be remedied


99 fcr hybrid wolf is very effective. I had one on d2pk

That’s a great write up, I really hope we get passive FRW, would help quite a bit.

You trans back in to human to play as a regular elevdruid. Then also run your tele wolf

Sounds fun, I am still wondering if 20 points in either cyclone or hurricane (or maybe both and 1 point werewolf like fury/rabies) would make any significant impact for a pure fury PvP druid, as obviously Fury/Rabies cannot afford those skill points.

Potentially also max ravens and max wolves?, seems ravens can do some nice PvP damage now…
