Best feral PvE build

[neazy]

Hey guys,

currently rolling a feral druid, since I am used to playing druid since TBC on retail.

Was wondering if you guys can suggest a good PvE kitty spec, specifically for raiding and soloing. Seeing as we only have 60 levels available at the moment we have to make lots of trade-offs.

Here's a build I put together quickly:

Thoughts?

What are talents that are a MUST, which are NICE TO HAVE?


Looking forward to more sugggestions and discussions.

Firstly try to use talent calculator from primalwow.
Second thing feral sucks more with wotlk client than in classic wow.
You need crit - hit - expertise. Hit isnt problem, but you cant get enough crit and expertise to get wotlk feral mechanics work good at lvl 60 cap

Im trying pve as feral, and cant say its super bad. Im not hit capped and its not required aswell with expertise cap. Got 40% crit unbuffed, and with vendorstike enchanted with crusader im pulling about 500 dps in rdfs. Havent tested it out in raids tho, but first i need to get shoulders and head from ubrs. Dont know how goot it would be with 5 pieces of T1 rogue sest, which grants energy regeneration, still needs testing. My build is: http://www.truewow.org/armory/talentcal ... ,0,0,0,0,0
armory link: http://www.primalwow.org/armory/character.php?n=Logik
As i said, still need head and shoulders, and with tchem i should be hit capped, and even have more crit/ap.
Thunderstrike should be BiS before Sulfras at current content i think.
Cat dps is bad, but we provide hella nice 5% crit buff, aswell with combat ress and emergency tanking.
If you want some more informations pm me in game: Logik
Glad to see another kitty on server. Good luck and have fun mate
Edit : I saw your tree. Last point you can take in feral tree is Leader of The pack. Rest is locked.

Feral druids are perfectly viable, but until we get a decent 2-hander with a large amount of feral AP I feel as though feral druids are going to be relegated to DPS/offtank type of jobs.

With that in mind I made this build with the idea that you'd be popping into bear form sometimes to assist tanks if one were to die, or shit hits the fan. I might've missed something, so if I did call me out!

Thanks for the great replies, guys.

I totally missed the part, that you can only spec until LotP. That changes things a lot. Too bad we don't get mangle.

Thank god we have attack bonuses in the Balance tree.

@piniok123 Your tree looks good, I'm gonna go with that.
@ithril11 why did you invest points into Thick Hide. For off tanking?

Also worth mentioning that you rely on arms warriors for the trauma debuff since you dont have mangle.

Got any gear guides/ rotation perfection etc for 3.3.5 feral dps?. I looked at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... oU/pubhtml# shoes best in slot gear but look to be mainly just vanilla so not sure if the gear is just all useless since were in wotlk / vanilla.

[piniok123]

Just look at my armory man only gloves and weapon are from MC, and before that you just use Devilsaur Gloves and that polearm which drops from blackhand for single and Sleeping Willow for aoe. About rotation ferals are a bit tought here, because we only have priorities list, but it is more important in tbc/wotlk. Atm we start with tiger furry, then rake and shred till 5cp. At 5 cp use Rip and repeat. Dont let your Rake dissapear, because its your 2nd dps source. Use Tigers Fury whenever its off CD.
Atm with my gear im putting like 650-700 dps on MC, without hit/expertise cap (next week will get hit cap so maby i will reach 700+). If you have more questions, pm me in game: Logik.
Cheers!
