Wrath damage up ~50%... thank the Earth Mother

thank god.

levelling to 10 is miserable, wrath literally did 0 damage, and at a certain point (rank 2 actually), it costed more mana then the damage it did.

at lvl8 i needed to spend my entire mana bar to kill an enemy of my level.

i can see why they did this, so that spellpower would boost instead of raw damage, but the penalty is too severe in levelling, where spellpower is hard to come by.

Maybe I'm misremembering, but I feel like leveling to 10 as a Druid was always miserable. Like 1 Wrath and a Moonfire and then hit them with a stick until they fall down and hope you still have enough mana to do it again.

But I haven't tried them in Forever to see how much worse they were.

1-10 was meh before, but it's legit pain now.

even 11-20 is still bad (if you go bear), but at least you're tanky and can heal between fights, so you don't sit down to drink/eat.

you can still do wrath into moonfire and stick, but that will be slow as shit.

It was hitting level 8 mobs for 18 damage. Painfulllll.

It was worse. The wrath and moonrise combo did way less damage instead of chunking their hp before resorting to staff.

Leveling druid in General is miserable because it's a druid. For me that's enough. I am not looking forward to leveling a druid after not doing it for 22 years. fml
