Pro: Jack of all trades.
Con: Master of none.
If I get singled out in a PvP fight, I go down very fast, even when I blow all the tricks I know (Barkskin, Survival Instincts, Lifeblood, Frenzied Regeneration). At least compared to my Death Knight, but that's not really a fair comparison, is it? I often find the shapeshifting to be quite a cockblocker (pardon the French), to be honest. Getting caught in caster or Cat form almost always means certain death and Bear form just can't deliver.
Especially Hunters seem to be a ***** at the moment for me, but I think that's a general issue as my Death Knight has issues with them as well. Giving them a reversed Charge (Disengage), a 100% parry cooldown (Deterrance), a ranged Execute (Kill Shot) and a shot that deals massive magical damage (Explosive Shot) was very awesome indeed. Even in Bear form, they take me out in seconds if I don't have Feral Charge up. And even then, they'll just Disengage and run away while tossing Kill Shots after me for the damage of my Shred crits. WTB 36-yard Shred range.
And Frost Mages who know what they're doing are also very annoying, especially since someone, in their infinite wisdom, decided to give them a stun. Not cool.
But I'm not complaining (much) since I can heal, tank and deeps all at the click of a button.
No, seriously, I just click the button in FuBar and it changes my specs and my gear. Very awesome. Edited, Aug 28th 2009 11:28pm by Mazra
