The Enigma Order

It seems that it was just a troll post on the forums.

However, I think it would be a general druid buff if they nerfed roots + cyclone with shared DR. It would bring resto and balance druids down to feral level in arena, and the class would need a general pvp buff then.

actually you fail on rogues, warlocks and shamans , altho most warlocks are SS/SS, most rogues are combat, and most shammys are resto.

but I think many clases should change a lil so that more speccs are viable in arena, including druids

Not really because most classes have atleast 3 or 4 specs to choose from if they want to be any good in general since own customized specs are generally not as good as "premade" specs that the majority of people uses, by the meaning "this spec sucks for arena, sorry" it doesn't mean that the spec in general sucks, it means there's just a spec generalised for best usage in arenas to disable a handicap against most combinations.
If you know what I mean.

Well, the fact that Blizzard has introduced arena sets that matches specific talent builds leads me to believe that they want that particular spec to be viable for arena.

There is only one warrior arena set, and that is made for dps. This is Blizzard's way of saying that tank spec is not meant for arena.

There is a healer and caster dps set for priests. This is Blizzard's way of saying that priests may choose to do dps or heal in arena.

There is a resto, balance and feral arena set for druids. This must be Blizzard's way of saying that all three specs should be viable in arena. However, only one of them is.

How do you explain this?

If feral was meant to be for pve and not arena, then surely it should have gotten the same treatment as prot warriors - that is, no arena set should exist.

actually, oomkin is not bad in 5v5, so druids sort of got 2 good speccs

Isn't it resto for 2v2 and 3v3, and balance for 5v5? My experience with resto in 5v5 is lacking, but from what I've been told they go down very fast.

If you say so, you've played druid longer than me. But it's kinda BS... specs are dependant of what combination you have against you and should be played by choice, not by force. If you play the spec you like you'll grow more experienced with it. And druids don't just have 2 specs good for arenas, they heal fine, they cast fine and deal pretty nice dps in feral aswell... they most certainly annoy the crap out of me when I'm in an arena on my mage and of all classes, I think it's the hardest class to beat 1 on 1 because it's near impossible to lock them in frostnova or polymorph. They allmost allways get the first move on me. In general, yeah druids are kind of imba in feral but I can imagine for arenas they're less wanted for some reason. But if you buff druids just so they can go feral in arenas more that would in my oppinion be a bit selfish and would be the same as buffing pyroblast crit damage so they can 1 shot people again in arenas, the only people they 1 hit in arenas are PvE geared people with less than 8k hp...

Point taken, very much.
