New level 30 Talent for all specs, replaces Fera Deslocadora

I am Cyous. I do a lot of the theorycrafting for Balance Druids and have been part of the druid community for 7-8 years. I like to focus my feedback on gameplay, not damage meters. I want to help make Balance Druid gameplay the most enjoyable among casters.

We've seen a small glimpse into some changes for Balance Druids. While everyone has a different opinion on what the "most important" change may be, the truth is we may not see many changes as other classes and their specializations. I feel Balance Druid is in a solid spot for gameplay; albeit, it is a tad unexciting.

Battle For Azeroth's alpha has shown us a few changes. Hibernar and Confortar are added back but they were almost never used before, so this doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of PVE things. The talent Fera Deslocadora has been replaced with Arremetida do Tigre, an ability that makes you insanely fast for a brief period. The other known change, or rather: "changes", will be the loss of our Artifact: Foice de Eluna and all the spells and effects that are tied to it. This includes our Lua Nova, Meia-lua, and Lua Cheia abilities. All other Artifact effects were passive bonuses; you didn't pay much attention to them.

Fera Deslocadora was used as a Blink which allowed us to teleport past impassable mechanics such as Elisande's Anel Arcanético ability. It was also a big player in PvP, allowing you to instantly escape from melee classes. This is quite a major change in the grand scheme of things. Fera Deslocadora felt too good, too often. Investida Selvagem will become the new "burst movement" and I hope Investida Selvagem's jump range is increased very slightly. Tiger Dash will be pretty awesome for positioning yourself long distances, though I'm not sure the forced Forma de Felino aspect is warranted for a proposed-45sec cooldown.

With the loss of Foice de Eluna, our "MoonMoon" spells will surely be pruned too, right? ...I'm not sure MoonMoon will be pruned outright. At this point, MoonMoon makes Balance Druid playable. Aside from spicing up the rotation with another button, the Astral Power generation is absolutely a core part of the player's experience. You can try questing/leveling without MoonMoon; it makes a notable difference and feels terrible without MoonMoon. There really isn't a replacement for MoonMoon. Unless Blizzard plans to completely overhaul the core gameplay of Balance Druids, I don't see how they prune MoonMoon spells without adding another rotational spell. I am expecting "MoonMoon 2.0" to become an addition to our core spells, likely just leaving us with Lua Cheia.

Legendary Items are likely to be absorbed as new passives or talents. "The Big Three" legendary items for Balance Druid are: O apanhador de sonhos de esmeralda, Intuição de Oneth, and Essência Vil Impecável. It's no secret Moonkin gameplay lacks RNG and high-skill builds. Going into BFA, it's possible we'll see at least one of those items' effects become a passive bonus or talent.

Overall, it's far too early to complain. Speculations and discussions are great and I'd love to hear some ideas for improving Balance Druid in BFA. We can argue about which aspect of Moonkin needs improvement right away. However, we should be able to agree on this little note: Forma de Luniscante customization long overdue!My name is tettles, and I am relatively new to the balance theorycrafting space. I am currently an expert in the Dreamgrove discord, and I attempt to foster discussion related to balance druids. I took this opportunity to provide insight and take a deep dive into what will become of balance in the Battle for Azeroth Alpha.

As of Alpha build 26010, there are no moons available for balance on the PTR. However, there was mentions of moons as of build 25902, so it is too early to tell whether or not we will keep moons going into Battle for Azeroth.

With the removal of Fera Deslocadora, Moonkin will be further pushed into Investida Selvagem as the premier movement / utility choice in the T30 talent row. Arremetida do Tigre will be a severely underused and niche ability. Arremetida do Tigre could see use on fights similar in style to Imonar, but as a whole Arremetida do Tigre will not be useful for Moonkin.

The reintroduction of Confortar and Hibernar are both good additions for Moonkin in Mythic Plus, but as always these abilities have very little to no use in raids. Utility and flavour abilities such as these will always have limited use practically, but as a whole these are welcome changes.

With Intuição de Oneth going away Balance's mobility will be adversely impacted on single target where movement is present. This will no longer allow for you to take Deriva Estelar on single target and use procs to deal with movement. This will negatively impact our mobility and force us to pre-plan movement to deal with certain mechanics, instead of banking a proc to deal with movement.

If moons are removed, there are a few options that Blizzard can take with the future of Balance. Something would have to change as moons make up approximately 20% of your Astral Power on single target.

Option 1.) Tune Golpe Lunar, Ira Solar, Bênção dos Ancientes, Comunhão Astral, and Estrelas Cadentes to be more in line with what it currently is in Legion to allow Balance to have a fluid rotation (building and spending wise). This fluid rotation seems as if it would be horribly stale on single target and similarly annoying for AOE without it.
Option 2.) Invent a new resource building spell. This seems like the most reasonable alternative between it and option 1. I personally enjoy how moons are able to be pooled for moments in which you need higher amounts of AP. Bouts of AoE are where being able to full moon to get extra AP is where the moon mechanic shines.
Option 3.) Rework balance's resource system as a whole. This could be a viable alternative depending on where blizzard would like to go with balance. Gotta stick true to the “rework balance every expansion” thing.

ArielleWowhead Guardian Druid Class Guide.Note: This was written before we found out how Ability Damage is Calculated.The only significant change currently is the removal of Rugidos Guturais. This talent has been a problem for all of Legion. Movement speed increases are already one of the most powerful utility effects in the game. Making an existing one not only available twice as often but also affect the entire raid almost without requiring pre-positioning of any kind was outrageously strong. This was further exacerbated by raid design in Legion, which prominently featured needing to quickly move from one location to another to prevent a potential raid wipe. This was most famously seen on Kil'jaeden, where guilds would almost always bring at least one Guardian purely for this talent. Further, this talent's power in a raid environment made it an auto-pick for everyone. Removing it kills two birds with one stone. First the power of Stamepding Roar is nerfed, and second the talent row is opened up for more variety. This is a good change.

There are a number of other initial tuning changes as a result of the incoming stat squish, but nothing worth discussing at this point.

Weapon Damage Removed

All Guardian abilities that previously were based on a percentage of Weapon Damage have been changed to instead use Attack Power. Those abilities are Destroçar, Espancar, and Pulverizar. This is a great change for a lot of reasons:

Weapon Damage was annoying to calculate when trying to figure out what was happening in-game.
The Attack Power benefit from Mastery was diluted by Weapon Damage (since 3.5 AP was required for 1 Weapon DPS), which reduced the offensive effectiveness of the stat.
While the item level of your weapon still matters, it is no longer directly responsible for a portion of your DPS.
Since shapeshift forms only used your mainhand weapon when determining Weapon Damage (with the exception of the two artifacts which were probably custom), if that is no longer relevant then you can suddenly pick whatever weapons you want to use including daggers and claws.

Active Mitigation and Primary Stat

For the past two expansions now (Warlords of Draenor and Legion), Guardians simply haven't cared about Agility from a defensive point of view. It exists and its contribution is greater than zero, but primarily we only cared about it for DPS purposes. In Battle for Azeroth, Veloférreo has been changed to increase Armor based on Agility. This makes Agility suddenly matter to Guardians again and is a great change for many reasons:

Helps to eliminate the issue of secondary stats sometimes being more valuable than item level (potentially excluding the Ring slot).
Makes all trinkets with any kind of Agility value - static or proc - into potential tank trinkets.
Eliminates the need to create custom Versatility procs for tanks only (think Concordância da Queda da Legião or the Convicção de Aggramar proc).
Makes Agility flasks and consumables valuable for defense as well as offense.

Armor Coefficient Scaling Increased

Players in Alpha have reported that the Armor coefficient, that is the value that determines the shape of the curve which is used to calculate how effective Armor is at reducing damage, has been dramatically increased. While the new values have not yet been publicly posted by Blizzard, if this change is correct and intended, it has the potential to lengthen the curve dramatically. This will reduce the potential for capping Armor at any point, and also increase the value of any item with Armor on it. The result will be the value of an item's level increase - excluding Rings - being much more consistent over the course of the expansion. Anything that furthers the goal of making item level the defining factor of an item's power is a good change in my book.

Bleeeds Scaling with Haste

It has also been reported that bleed effects - for Guardians in particular this would affect Surra - are now scaling with Haste. This doesn't affect Guardians too much, but it will increase the value of Frenesi de Sangue and Guardião Galáctico. Still, a good change for the sake of consistency.

Artifact Abilities

There is currently no sign that any of the artifact traits or abilities have been or will be folded into the spec, other than Veloférreo's duration being increased by 1 second. Quite frankly most of them are extremely boring passive survival increases anyway, and Rage of the Sleeper only caused more problems in terms of cooldown economy relative to other tanks.Healing TouchLiving SeedChanged

Fogo SolarRecomposição RápidaTranquilidadeCrescimento SilvestreJaydaaWowhead Resto Druid Class GuideWhile still early in development, Restoration Druids have seen some noteworthy changes both beneficial and detrimental since the start of Battle for Azeroth alpha. In addition, we'll be entering the post-Legion era sans artifact which reduces us back to our base toolkit with a few notable exceptions.

The largest and probably most controversial change to Restoration Druids is a reduction in our mobility. First, the T30 talent Fera Deslocadora has been removed. Fera Deslocadora's blink has become a staple in our toolkit with most Resto Druids rarely swapping to other talents on the same tier. The blink allowed us instant movement with a short speed boost that was frequently used to avoid certain mechanics altogether. Fera Deslocadora will be sorely missed, but it's not without an upside. For starters, Arremetida had its 3min CD reduced to 2mins with a small 10% movement speed and 5 second duration nerf. While this might not appear as a buff, I tend to prefer a shorter CD for greater access as it's rare to need the full duration of the sprint. To build upon the new Arremetida, the new T30 talent is Arremetida do Tigre. Arremetida do Tigre replaces Arremetida, but gives us a 200% movement speed increase that reduces over 4 seconds on a 45s CD. This will be a great option for scenarios requiring quick escapes but not necessarily prolonged movement. We'll still have access to Investida Selvagem allowing us to disengage to an ally's position or other charge like abilities depending on our shapeshift. It'll never be the same as Fera Deslocadora, but it's a step in the direction of making blinks more unique while still giving us mobility options.

Second, one of the largest adjustments for me and likely most Restoration Druids is stationary Tranquilidade. Without G'Hanir, a Árvore Mãe, we lose the ability to Tranquilidade on the move meaning if you move while channeling Tranquilidade, then the ability will cancel and you'll likely begin to cry. Blizzard has doubled down on the change by reintroducing the stacking HoT that Tranquilidade applies per tick stacking up to 5 times. While this makes Tranquilidade potentially the strongest or one of the strongest healing cooldowns in the game, it will require exceptional positioning in addition to good timing. The HoT also provides some additional mastery and haste scaling for Tranquilidade. It'll be an adjustment to not instinctively Tranquilidade and then immediately run and jump all over the instance, but we've dealt with this inconvenience before and we can deal with it again, albeit begrudgingly.

In regards to the rest of our artifact, it's not the end of the world that we're losing G'Hanir, a Árvore Mãe. Many of the traits were passive healing increases, minor mana regen increases and mana cost reductions. Most of these can be balanced into the base abilities, so I wouldn't fret too much about those. Other more impactful traits had a RNG component to them and were hit or miss (such as Andassonho). While I like the added flavor, I'm perfectly okay with these falling away. The one trait I'm having a hard time parting with is Persistência. On live we can have 4-7 extra seconds on our Rejuvenescer and DoTs. While it doesn't seem like a lot of extra time, going back to the base duration requires more micromanaging and a lower overall HoT count in raid. This remains to be seen if it'll have larger implications beyond quality of life. Fortunately, our artifact ability, Essência de G'Hanir has gotten baked into the Florescer talent but the cooldown has been increased to 1.5min. I think that's a good design decision to allow us access to that on demand burst cooldown, but I would have preferred two separate abilities as they were not always used exclusively together.

To accompany the change to Florescer, Litocasca and Germinação have swapped places on the talent tree opening up some interesting choices on those talent rows. Florescer has almost been exclusively the choice on the T100 talent row due to its flexibility in most PvE content, but having to compete with Germinação offers an interesting choice between an on-demand burst cooldown versus a sustained spot-healing increase that requires potentially more mana usage. I could make a case for either talent in current content, but this really exposes Momento de Clareza as the clear weakest talent of the three. Momento de Clareza's mana savings is rarely worth it in dungeon content as you're frequently able to drink between packs of mobs and the increased Recrescimento healing is just not enough to justify losing the extra cooldown with Florescer or the overall increase in the number of HoTs (and Maestria: Harmonia) a player can have with Germinação. It is possible that Blizzard intends for Restoration Druids to utilize more Recrescimento in raids based on them removing Living Seed and baking a lot of that power directly into Recrescimento itself as well as changing Abundância to reduce the cost and increase the crit chance of Recrescimento based on the number of Rejuvenescers actives. Combine this with Momento de Clareza and there's potential, but I'm fairly skeptical of this Regrowth-based playstyle; however, it is alpha and anything is possible. The other implication of the Litocasca/Germinação talent swap is the ability to take both Germinação and Flores Primaveris allowing you to have an additional HoT on multiple members of your party/raid. Add in the additional Tranquilidade HoT and it's possible that members of your raid/party could have between 7-9 HoTs on them making Maestria: Harmonia very valuable.

To round out the changes so far, Blizzard has pruned a few other abilities entirely and returned some old favorites. Healing Touch has been removed, but it's not a spell I'll lament losing. Healing Touch was an awkward piece of our toolkit that never really felt like it had a place. With a long cast time that required us to be stationary and only moderate healing, efficiency was about the only thing it had going for it and even then, it felt better to cast a free Ira and spend the saved mana on a Rejuvenescer or Recrescimento. Additionally, Confortar and Hibernar have returned for all Druids. I'm not terribly excited for their return as they were of limited use prior to their removal especially with players opting to brute force most situations where they could prove useful, but perhaps now with the scaling difficulty of dungeons through Mythic+ we'll find significantly more opportunities for this set of utility.Fera DeslocadoraArremetida do Tigre

GuiltyasWowhead Feral Druid Class Guide.With Battle For Azeroth Beta/Alpha cycle on the horizon and the spectre of class changes looming. It's time to talk about what we're looking to get out of this beta/expansion cycle, bear in mind this is an early alpha!

The first change that I'm supremely excited about is the fantastic addition of haste scaling to bleeds! Anyone who has been involved in the community for long knows that this was a huge item on our wish lists across many expansions. The big feral bug bear for many expansions now has been stat interaction. Feral goes through a cycle of 2 stats swapping places. When mastery is good, haste is bad. When haste is good, mastery is bad. These two stats previously only affected a portion of our damage, with haste now affecting our damage across the board its value should increase without reducing the value of mastery.

Arremetida do Tigre is a great addition, I think typically Fera Deslocadora was very overrated and typically a worse choice than wild charge, Arremetida do Tigre fixes an issue with Arremetida (namely its duration being so long for its typical use scenario) while also granting extremely strong mobility. Arremetida do Tigre is about as fast as a flying mount!

Rugido Selvagem and Fúria do Tigre were also changed to also affect damage done by auto attacks and an aura put into place to increase auto attack damage by 40%. this combined with the changes to AP and Weapon DPS should make weapon scaling far more relevant than historically.

I'd like to see Renovação removed and replaced with another talent. Renovação feels out of place where it is in the talent tree and almost never sees valuable use.

Affinities were a new addition in legion. I do not think they were a successful addition, removing buttons from your other forms feels terrible. The affinities themselves are so weak as to be basically passives. Balance affinity is fantastic, but not due to any flexibility from an additional form (though the ability to use flap is nice) but because of an increased range. I'd like to see these affinities baked into the class as baseline and the talent row used to grant far increased benefits similar to the old Heart of the Wild talent from WoD but more specialized to each form.

A real concern that I have regards Feral's AoE. Currently, a Feral's AoE damage both with and without Talho Brutal is heavily focused around certain artifact traits. With these two traits being removed with the artifact, our AoE is in a weird place. Talho Brutal will provide great burst AoE but without Surra Sombria or Vestes de Bucha, sustained AoE will return to tab Estraçalhar-ing. Without Talho Brutal and Cheiro de Sangue AoE is merely lackluster, with the energy costs of Patada and Surra making sustained AoE prohibitively expensive.

Proteção de Ashamane might be the single best trait on our entire artifact. As far as utility and personal plays goes this is enormous. Blizzard have talked about how great making unique utility plays is, Proteção de Ashamane is the perfect example of this and good utilization of this trait absolutely separates tiers of Ferals. I would love for this trait to either be made baseline or a talent.

I'd like to see Encarnação looked at, Focusing damage into 3min CDs for sustain feels terrible. Fight times become extremely relevant and fights where you have to delay cooldowns also feel horrible. I'd like to see the power of Encarnação and the CD adjusted commensurately, potentially to be similar to the old subtlety Dança das Sombras gameplay with a much reduced duration and a 1min cd.

Feral playstyle has long been oriented around debuff and buff management, and this was where the unique gameplay of the spec came from. When management of these buffs and debuffs becomes irrelevant or borderline passive the Feral rotation loses all depth. I would like to see Feral move back to focus on this, where good play on the spec involves managing your debuffs properly, and not just applying and forgetting for the next 30s.

Resources for feral is a typical cycle across the last few expansions. The spec starts off measured and patient while capitalizing on the specs rather unique pooling mechanics. However, as the expansion goes on, the spec becomes more and more inundated with resource. When resource management is gone the gameplay becomes lackluster and weak. This is much the same problem as the debuff issue mentioned before. Feral's direct damage rotation is not robust enough to support too many resources and combined with the weakening of debuff management hurts the spec's gameplay.

This ended up much longer than I thought it would but I'd like to finish by saying I'm excited for BFA, the general system changes, visuals and other changes look fantastic and I hope it'll be a great expansion with many lessons learned from legion. Here's hoping that feral changes are as positive as everything else and I'm excited to see more coming! (Like maybe some more alliance druid races please)Links for Theorycrafting Changes

Comentado por DaillemandGreat serie of articles! Can't wait for Rogue article :)Comentado por NeversageFully agree on MoonMoon. We need this spell baseline as Balance.Comentado por LlaroldI like this article series. Can't wait for more!Comentado por ShelassaI think this is a very interesting series of articles, and I would be happy to learn of some of the opinions such as the state of Hunters (especially the revamps of MM and SV) and Mythic+.Comentado por BumzFrom a Balance Druid point of view, I can only agree with the above. While our gameplay is nothing to get excited about, we're in a good place. Losing the burst AP from MoonMoon would certainly screw the spec up if it wasn't properly replaced.

The loss of Displacer Beast is a bit frustrating (despite it costing 2 gcd's to use), but Wild Charge provides plenty of movement, so no reason to bring out the pitchforks.Comentado por ZujinARTPromessa de Eluna, a Deusa da Lua I want this to be imported to BfA... this can be even a trait in Heart of Azaroth... but please :CComentado por navysilanWell let's be honest. As you're looking at it, our characters will be less powerful in B4A. Druids are not only ones losing important spells, or having converted important spells into the talents. It's all about changes, happening every expansion. Either you'll deal with it, or just change your class. Everyone is suffering from the same problem. I don't remember if warlocks were crying that much after removing metamorphosis from demonology. We lose a lot fo spells as well, you're not the only ones. Maybe well said, but remember, in B4A our characters are less powerful comparing them to legion ones. Adapt to changes, spells tied to the artifacts shouldn't be back...Comentado por TntdruidRip OP bear 🤨Comentado por GammageddeonOverall I'm okay with the Resto changes. I'm kinda happy Healing Touch is leaving - I mean I sometimes felt like I should be using it, but never found the opportunity. Just weird seeing such an iconic spell leaving the game.
As for Tranquility, I really hope we can see the movement buff as a Heart of Azeroth perk somewhere. I agree with Blizzard that it should feel like a privilege, but I don't want it going away completely.Comentado por RsliottaThe spell I want to see brought over the most is a passive spell from the artifact weapon. It may only be a passive, and as the guide mentioned it was barely noticeable. However, I did notice it and loved it. Poder de Goldrinn was fun to watch when I played as balance. The sound and animation is too good to get rid of please!Comentado por NyctiI am rather bummed about the tranquility change. It was a spell that made druids the healer you could count on to throw out a big heal when the raid had to move and move now. In so many instances I just felt underpowered compared to pally and priest healers, but ya know- I had tranq. Now, I still have tranq, but I'm rooted. Doomed to interrupt the spell that brought me happiness.Comentado por RedronCan't agree with Guiltyas. Displacer beast isn't overrated. Displacer beast CAN avoid mechanics, while any kind of sprints can't do this. And you CAN blink, while rooted. So they drastically nerfed our mobility. Divine Steed v2.0 will never be better, than blink.
For incarnation, you have an option to have good burst or good sustain with SotF. Or bleed-build with fast bleeds.
With scaling bleeds and nerfed MoC i'm afraid of bleed build returning. After 3 xpacs of boooooooring bleed build we have fresh air of 7.3. And now it seems bleed build will be better. Again. Another xpac with most boring gameplay in the game.Comentado por Faliz18lol who the hell said wild charge is better than blink?Comentado por Redronlol who the hell said wild charge is better than blink?Comentado por vfaulkonI like these articles a lot. Aside from being well thought-out and insightful, it's a refreshing change of pace to see people looking at the changes in Alpha so far with a sense of reason and not 'OMG class ruined gg bliz'.Comentado por DonhornMy thinking on what they could do with MoonMoon matches up pretty well with Cyous. Prune the New/Half moons and just keep Full Moon. It's both the most fun and most useful part of the ability.Comentado por AutomagIsn't it a bit early for such a thing?Comentado por Joker1313IMO all of the druid specs right now seem to have had very little if any attention so far. I am hoping it won't stay like this and that they will look into this and do something. Guardian and feral especially as these are my two specs I have been playing since WotLK. With the stat squish Guardian looks a bit lackluster and even weak...hopefully they will follow through with their promise that they "learned from their mistakes in Legion" and that all tanks will be more-less on equal terms regarding how viable and powerful they are. Feral also needs some attention and I hope they will finally address by far the worst AoE in the game which started with WoD...it makes no sense at all. I hope they won't disappoint yet again...Comentado por TombsvI hope BendakWoW will be part of the hunter version of this article. He is the top person I hope Blizzard listen to about hunter changes!Comentado por AlakeiThancanOnly two things I'm interrested in knowing regarding druids in BFA : how are our artifact skins (bear and cat) gonna transfer over to our druid alts? And how easy is it gonna be to change morph skin (if we have to go back to our order hall everytime we wanna switch, it's gonna be annoying really quickly)
