If your first two posts were any shorter, I might not have caught them. As they stand, the number of grammatical errors - your (instead of you're), i, and a complete lack of apostrophes - are just flat out distracting. To top it off, you're signing your posts as if we don't know who you are.

Original Post:

Replying to Solstives' questions:

First off, i prefer STR to AGL simply because with resiliance, and casters such as locks and priest stacking it, id rather hit harder more frequently than hit for less and have my crits hit less but a little more frequently. Ive always emphasized AP over Crit simply because constant damage > relying on crits. Agility has its bonuses when mobs dont have resiliance, and the AC gained by what i could put on my things would be next to worthless. The dodge is meh, melee arent what kill a feral in bear, its the casters, in which case, relying on your armor and dodge gives you about the same chances as a snowball in hell.

For the deep comment, give any feral that gear and he will play well, hes average, and nothing more, he just has superior gear than 90% of the druid population.

Next, to the playstyle. I havent changed my playstyle one bit since the patch when arenas first came out. Kitty unless their on me, bear when they are, cyclone to keep a caster out of DPSing, or a pally from BoPing if i see fit. Ignorance is bliss, use it to your advantage. When teams leave me alone in cat, anything with less than plate is going to get hit HARD and constantly, aint no way your stopping a feral when hes got a large enough mana pool.

For the preservation of BoPed targets, our priest always gets it off, so its never been a problem, and if so, its because hes getting hit by something really hard, in which case i cyclone one of their DPS. Cycloning a BoPed target also takes a player already out of the game, out of the game that much more, kind of redundant in some cases.

About my spec. First off, NG is worthless in the majority of any fight, if you use it in 5v5, whoever it procs on will get dispelled, grats. And for solo play, rogues will CoS, warriors get 10% health, and anything else is of no importance. I see it as a wasted point. On to NI, I solo play, ive always dont it, i always love it, and no good feral doesnt heal himself when hes in warsong, or in world pvp. Hoting myself up in warsong with the flag as im running down has saved my life on more than one occasion, so the talent is worth its weight and more. And yes, if your a feral and you EVER have to heal in your arena team if its 5v5, your destined for failure, or else the other teams REALLY suck. SoTF doesnt seem worth it to me, sure less crit, but i cant take points out of anything, its all essential and needed things. Everything has a use, and gives me some superior benefit than 3% chance to not get crit. My spec ahs been carefully crafted over the weeks and months, and everything i have is more beneficial than anything i dont have, and i build my stats the same way. Trial and error has proven time and again that for me, AP > Crit, and i focus on such. My spec is no Arena spec, and no Feral spec, and certainly no PvE spec. It's Smilys spec, and thus, it is catered to my needs and desires. You may stack agility and crit more, but when your crits damage gets kicked in the balls by resiliance, as well as your crit chance, ill be sitting there doing constant high DPS with larger crits. Also, ive got around 450+ healing with my normal gearset on for when i solo, and if you are a feral that doesnt heal and just stays in forms, kick yourself in the face, and delete your character, you are worthless

Now to Drole:

No, i never use tranquility, if im ever forced to heal, its already too late. Cyclone is the only thing i do out of form, MAYBE barkskin if theres time, which never usually happens. And to your earlier question, i have 2146 Self buffed AP with 31.23% chance to crit in bear form.

Ive been playing with these 4 individuals for atleast 6 months now, and we all kinda fit together, so our playstyles have melded into one solid thing in which a feral is of more benefit than a rogue, or another warrior, or a hunter.
