Blizzard
We’ve followed recent data and feedback on class performance and are preparing to make adjustments to many classes with scheduled weekly maintenance in each region.

Druid
Feral
Rampant Ferocity now damages enemies within 8 yards of the Druid when using Ferocious Bite, instead of enemies within 8 yards of the target.
Developers’ note: This change is intended to give Feral Druids more control over which enemies Rampant Ferocity’s AOE hits and avoid cases where hitting a large boss with Ferocious Bite wouldn’t hit other nearby enemies.
