With the risk of getting flamed myself...Finally, I am yet to see a thread that concetrates on anything other than flaming current itemizationand yet what has started here is exactly that... Really. And maybe a thread like this would be much FASTER AND EASIER OBSERVED on Blizzard's official WoW forums, don't you think?
But not to be a complete a$$, I'll answer shortly to your questions:
1. No, I do not dislike physical DPS leather gear, the only minor thing would be maybe what
Erona said - for instance on the
Valorous Dreamwalker Raiments, I would like to see 77 strength instead of pure 154 AP. The same applies to all the Tier 7 feral pieces.
2. As stated on issue #1, the only adjustment would be converting the AP on feral Tier 7 into strength.
3. Yes, I DO particularly like how MANY of the physical DPS leather pieces are itemized for feral druids. Basically almost all of them. Especially those that provide AP, crit and hit/expertise are the best. Haste is also a sweet DPS stat (more auto attacks => more OOC procs). Armor penetration rating is the least valuable DPS stat for a feral in my opinion.
4. I'll give you a few examples of beautifully itemized items:
Chest or
ChestBoots or
BootsGloves or
Gloves or more
GlovesHelmet or
Helmet (here the second has the upper hand because of the 2 sockets)
Legs,
Legs,
Legs and more
LegsShoulders the single top choice imo
Belt or
BeltBracers or
Bracers (I prefer the first option)
Cloak,
Cloak or
CloakAmulet,
Amulet or
AmuletRing,
Ring or
RingTrinket,
Trinket,
Trinket,
Trinket etc.
The weapons that druids can now use for feral DPS are all excellent, with the
Journey's End as the best.
I have some of these, some others are on my wish list and so on. I find no real issue with feral itemization in WotLK except the little strength instead of AP quirk regarding Feral Tier 7 pieces.
Even the 2 and 4 piece bonuses on the set are great for both tanking and DPS. People that complain about not having good enough set bonuses for BOTH (!) tanking and DPS on the feral Tier 7, remember guys, it is the only TRUE HYBRID Tier set there is. All other Tier sets have only TWO bonuses, focused on either tanking, DPS or healing, while the
Valorous Dreamwalker Battlegear is the only one with FOUR (the 4 seconds to Rip and the 3 sec reduction to Tiger's Fury for feral DPS plus the +5% damage to lacerate and +3 sec duration to Barkskin). So stop complaining =/
