This leaves you as 0/10/0 for the 10-19 WSG. Bears will also enjoy the +9% threat generation bonus. Nelfs Shadowmeld grants them a passive bonus to stealth as if they add an additional point in FI. Thus, with three ranks of FI, you will stealth as if you were 2 levels higher than you are. Each level of FI adds roughly 0.6 a level of stealth. The first rule for rogues and kitties is not to be seen.

“But I don’t even have catform yet!?!” But you will, and you will spend a lot of time in it. Until then you would have to be perfect to be able to bash->shift->regrowth without being interrupted or attacked before being able to shift back.Īn additional use for bash is to allow you to root your target and run away, either far enough to heal, to just keep going.ġ7-19 3/5 Feral Instinct (+stealth in catform and +9% threat generation in bear form) Your next rank of Bash doesn’t come until 30 when it raises to 3s (or 4 in your case). This should be enough to allow you to get an emergency Bash-> Regrowth or Root off, or save that silly clothies life by stunning the mob for an extra second. “What? Why?” No, because you will now have a 3s stun when you hit 16 instead of the normal 2s. At this level, there are no talents to use Furor with, IMotW is a waste (see Q&A), and remember, Feral is more efficient than Balance.ġ5-16 2/2 Brutal Impact (+1s stun for Bash and Pounce) The 5 rage reduction in Maul means you can now use it 33% more often.

Speccing as a primary healer for instance runs may net you more xp/hr, but that is not what this guide is for. Manaless damage means less downtime for drinking or healing, which means more time for exp.

The first thing to understand is that feral is the most efficient tree for grinding. Balance druids should look elsewhere, check out Stian’s posts for his results with the moonkin build. It will also present the most effective builds at the upper levels of the lower BGs. It is specifically geared towards balancing build construction between PvE and PvP needs, without the need for respeccing. This guide is applicable for those interested in the 14/32/5, 0/30/21, 0/20/31, or any of the many variations thereof. Jaegor71's original post is available on the WoW Druid forums
