HoTW is very clunky and serves an extreme niche. Once per fight you can basically be useful outside of your current role for a few seconds. Could be better but overall it's an acceptable ability I guess. Was never worth picking as Moonkin, though (except for on Tsulong to burst heal and top the meters during day phase).

Druids, at one point, were quite versatile in raids but it was a matter of gear/skill. A lesser geared, lesser skilled Druid could often cover more than one spec in a raid. For example, during Black Temple, our server first kills of Rotface/Festergut were because I was able to switch in and out of kitty constantly while tanking in order to add extra DPS. Then I was able to pop out and rejuv the raid during spores. The extra DPS I was able to do enabled us to beat the enrage timer and the extra healing was just enough to help keep people up during gas. I even threw a few Moonfires out to help kill adds at times from a distance. In short it wasn't at all uncommon for druids in high end guilds to be able to contribute to tanking, dps, and healing all in the same fight. I suspect the changes to this are largely due to the skill ceiling being so high, thus causing druids at the top end to feel overpowered while druids at the bottom end felt too weak.

As far as active mitigation goes... it was definitely because of the removal of threat generation, but I don't really see why that was necessary in the first place. Tanking has become so brainless these days you can literally do it while tabbed out watching YouTube. The only reason for them to gut threat the way they did is because of all those god fucking awful tanks you see in five mans that can't hold aggro over your single Moonfire. God forbid when you have to pull an AOE pack and they're sitting there single target tanking while the other 90% of the pack runs around killing your healer and dps. The removal of CC from dungeons is related to the decline in player skill as well. Back in BC if you didn't know how to use your CCs you were kicked from the group. These days if you DO know how to use your CCs... you get kicked from the group. What a 180.

I don't know who is ryloth. I think we haven't met. We just died over and over again to what all the groups i've been with (2) called : "The spider boss".

But it was fun nonetheless. The ending ninja pull was hilarious.
