Dear players,
today we have great news for you! We’ve focused on Druids and completely fixed their animal forms, which had long been malfunctioning on our Level 200 Fun server and did not match TBC core mechanics.
Due to database bugs and incorrect stat scaling at high levels, the forms were practically unusable. That changes today!
What was broken and what we fixed?
-
Bear Form: Finally works as a proper tank! Now correctly applies a massive 400% armor bonus (your armor value from humanoid form is multiplied by nearly 5x in bear form). The Stamina bonus has also been fixed, automatically increasing your maximum HP by 25%.
-
Cat Form: Now correctly increases Attack Power and provides brutal attack speed (Attack Speed x.xxx).
-
Weapon Damage Fix (Feral): We discovered that the weapon damage calculation for both animal forms was incorrectly set in the core. At level 200, the forms dealt almost no damage. We have removed this limit and damage now scales correctly all the way up to level 200!
Changes will take effect with the next scheduled server restart.
Since this is a massive change to mechanics and scaling at level 200, everything needs to be thoroughly tested in live operation. As a developer, I am not able to simulate every possible game situation, talent combination, and item modification etc. that you players come up with.
We are deploying the fix, but we will continue to tune it together. If you encounter any anomaly, bug, or excessive values, send us info on Discord/forum in the appropriate section.
We wish you a pleasant time and look forward to your raid reports!
Your Gigafun Team
