Was an old school TBC Feral back in the day in WoW. Honestly considered that to be Feral druids at their best. I wasn't going to out rogue a rogue or out warrior a warrior but I could hold my own in most things and PvP wasn't about being a 1 trick pony but about picking your opponents weaknesses apart. It really didn't need a lot to fix the overall balance issues with it, just blizzard refused to fix anything with it till they could break something else for fear of them overdoing it. But they had zero issues letting Paladins rule of WotLK with an iron fist almost till they end. From WotLK onward, Feral just didn't feel like a feral anymore. Tried to come back in MoP once, my arms Warrior was a bigger hybrid than my Feral druid while leveling. Had the DPS of my cat form in Cat spec while also having the armor of my bear and was passively healing for only a little less than my druid would if he dropped form and spam healed till OOM.
With the DnD vs BG3, that could be a real hard thing to balance. If they tried to go full RAW it would make the game less balanced and less fun but if they try to balance it as a game primarily they risk making the DnD players mad for not following the rules.
Oh well, hopefully they spend a while after they finish the content trying to fine tune the balance and mechanics. They do #8 on the list and the modders might do much of that heavy lifting for them.
