I'm hoping we'll see something like a temporary speed boost when shifting or after casting hots or swiftmend. Either that, or some form of increased survivability.
I agree, druids are going to need an increase in survivability if they are to remain competitive. That speed bonus was pretty much the core of our strength and this coupled with the water changes is going to make things very difficult. 15% doesnt sound like a lot, but anyone that remembers trying to pvp without it will tell you otherwise. I really would have preferred they nerf cyclone into the ground than change what I feel was the coolest part about being a druid (zoom!)

But on the upside, I'll be happy to see us lose our top spot and watch as people flock to another flavour of the month. I might actually start playing ol' leafy again
