Here's a little bit of insight for the change to druids and our thoughts for you. Again, I'd like to remind everyone that we're always open to constructive feedback and want to encourage everyone to keep trying things out for yourself on the PTR.

Simply put, we’ve been moving away from hard counters such as when one class is completely immune to the control mechanics of another class. Druids, unlike other classes in PvP, were too easily able to be self-dependent without the need of any additional support from any class and were capable of avoiding these control mechanics. To counter the cost of this change, we have added additional damage output to druids. Feral druids are now doing very legitimate damage.

We realize that by extension, Balance and Resto druids feel they are getting the shorter end of things with this change, but Resto can dispel any root on their own (but for warrior) in a single GCD. We’re currently discussing potential ways of compensating Resto and Balance druids for this change, but we still need to evaluate whether it’s truly necessary.

Again, I'd like to remind everyone that we understand the passion that you have for this topic, and we likewise value that passion and constructive feedback. We just ask that you keep it constructive and we'll continue to answer what we can for you.
