[:1]It certainly feels like specs are divided into different tiers of pvp prowess and effectiveness with Arms Warriors, Unholy Dks, Frost Mages, (etc, I am certain you can figure out the rest) being at the top of the totem pole whereas Moonkin, Holy Priest, whatever make up the bottom.
Cata introduced a lot of new mechanics (some cheesy, some blatantly overpowered) to shake up the standings, but I don't think Moonkin are anywhere near the top.
So let's have some fun, shall we? What sort of changes would you make to turn Moonkins into steroid beach bunnies capable of competing with UA Locks and company?
I'd be completely happy if Naturesgrasp had infinite procs.
Insect swarm gets refreshed when you crit with wrath or starfire.
Before you flame, this is just silly dreaming, so, relax.
How would I upgrade us? Moonkins get turned back into passable offtanks, even sometime maintanks. Offensive casterdruids can stay in their caster form.
WRATH IN THE FACE!
Our major mitigation comes from casting spells, as does our threat generation. Remove all threat reduction, up the threat generation of MF and IS. Up our armor from items to be slightly higher than a bears, we have ironfeathers and magic, they have bigger health pools and avoidance. Barkskin is a damage reduction cooldown, and adds the requisite "can't be critted" element as a passive. Owlkin Frenzy returns a significant % of all incoming damage as health (to compensate for our terrible health pools). Cyclone becomes a defensive cooldown for moonkins, wrapping us in a shielding wall of air that reduces our liklihood of being hit by some significant amount (Moonkin Bubbble much? yeah, it'd still be awesome). Faerie Fire for a snap taunt. Thorns get beefed back up, self cast only, and generates crazy threat, sort of a taunt with a timer on it.
We'd have no AOE taunt to speak of beyond keeping DOTs flying, and if we got silenced we'd be in trouble, but everyone needs weaknesses right?
Oh yeah, and we get two more completely ridiculous and crazy "I just got hit" emote noises.
It'd never happen, but man it would be fun. I would totally play a LoonyTank. We'd be the only class with two tank specs.
