Feral Druid in Dragonflight: Strengths and Weaknesses

In World of Warcraft, the Druid class has 4 specializations: Feral, Balance, Restoration, and Guardian. The Feral Druids cover the melee DPS role, using Energy as their spending resource.

The Feral Druid represents one of the mediocre DPS classes for Mythic Dungeons and Mythic Raiding in Dragonflight Season 1, even though it provides excellent single-target damage, burst damage, mobility, and flexibility.

Regarding weapons, as a DPS, the druid uses daggers, fist weapons, maces, polearms, and staves. As for raid gear, it shares the Vanquisher Tier Token with Rogues, Death Knights, and Mages for legacy content. In the Dragonflight expansion, the Vault of the Incarnates raid, druids share the Mystic Tier Token with Hunters and Mages.

In the table below, we present the Feral Druid's strengths and weaknesses:

How to gear your Feral Druid

In World of Warcraft, gearing is one of the most important aspects that enhances your character's overall performance by providing massive amounts of stats, armor, procs, and set bonuses. This guide will teach you how to properly gear up for the most challenging content in WoW Dragonflight, Mythic Raiding, and Mythic+ Dungeons.

We'll start with the basics and cover the Feral Druid's stats priority, check out the tier set bonuses, and finally, the best in slot gear you can get from mythic raids and dungeons.

Feral Druid stat priority

Regardless of the class and spec you roll into in World of Warcraft, the stats are a key component when gearing up and min-maxing your character for the end-game content. Feral Druids wear Leather gear with Agility as the main stat.

As a DPS druid, the Agility stat increases the attack power of your abilities, in other words - the damage you are dealing to the enemies. Also, please note that a higher and adequate item level will better impact your character's performance than a perfect stat distribution, so always keep an eye on the gear's item level!

Feral Druid's stats priority looks like this:

• 1. Agility
• 2. Critical Strike
• 3. Haste
• 4. Mastery
• 5. Versatility

So as a Feral Druid, you will primarily value item level for Agility as the primary stat, then Critical Strike, followed by Haste, Mastery, and Versatility as secondary stats.

In other words: Agility > Critical Strike > Haste > Mastery > Versatility. And here's why:

Agility: Increases your attack power and, therefore, all the damage you are dealing to your enemies

Critical Strike: Increases the chances of dealing double damage with your attacks

Haste: Increases your attack speed, bleeds tick rate, and your energy regen rate

Mastery: Increases the damage of your bleeds and finisher abilities

Versatility: Increases damage dealt and reduces damage taken

Feral Druid Tier Set Bonus

To start with, what is a tier set in World of Warcraft?

In WoW, a tier set is a unique class armor set with powerful 2-set and 4-set specific bonuses for each specialization of that particular class. Tier set bonuses change based on the character's active talent specialization, ensuring that the bonus is appropriate and useful to that spec.

So to recap, tier sets are unique pieces of armor that, when equipped simultaneously, provide you with a bonus, different for each spec of the chosen class. This bonus is based on the number of pieces from the set you have equipped, with most tier sets providing bonuses when equipping 2 or 4 pieces.

How to get the Feral Druid Tier Set in Dragonflight Patch 10.0

There are three ways you can get tier set items in WoW in the Dragonflight expansion:

• Vault of the Incarnates Raid: You can get tier set items from specific bosses in the Vault of the Incarnates raid.
• Revival Catalyst: You can craft Tier armor from non-set pieces of the same item level using the Revival Catalyst crafting system.
• Great Vault: You can obtain tier set items from all activities that normally give Great Vault rewards, such as raiding, Mythic+ dungeons, and PvP.

The fastest way to obtain your tier set is to take advantage of these three sources that can reward you with Feral Druid set items. The best advice is to complete the Vault of the Incarnates raid weekly - this is probably the fastest way to get your hands on the desired tier armor. In case you don't have a team to raid with, complete some Mythic+ Dungeons or some PvP matches.

Mythic dungeons and PvP are highly beneficial because even if you can't drop the set items while participating in these activities, you increase the chances of getting your set items at the Great Vault or the Revival Catalyst console in Thaldraszus. At the revival catalyst console, you can convert the non-set pieces obtained in dungeons or PvP into tier set items.

Let's have a closer look at the Great Vault feature:

And this is what the Revival Catalyst looks like:

Back to our Feral Druid Tier Set. Now that you learned how to obtain the tier set, let's see some set bonuses and particularities, shall we?

The Druid Tier set is called Lost Landcaller's Vesture. For the Feral spec, it comes with the following bonuses for two pieces and four pieces equipped:

• 2-Set: Rip and Ferocious Bite damage increased by 6%.
• 4-Set: For each combo point spent, finishing moves increase your Rip Rake and Thrash damage by 2% and increase the chance for Shred, Rake, Swipe / Brutal Slash, Thrash to Critically Strike by 2% for 4 seconds.

In the table below, we present you the sources for Feral Druid Tier Set items:

The remaining tier set items (Cloak, Wrists, Waist, and Boots) can be obtained by using the Revival Catalyst in Thaldraszus.

As previously stated, you unlock the tier set bonuses for your Feral Druid when you equip any two or four pieces of the Lost Landcaller's Vesture set. For itemization and build optimization, your four pieces of tier set as a Feral Druid will be the Chest, Shoulders, Legs, and Gloves.

How to level your Feral Druid. Leveling tips

Before leveling your Feral Druid, you must first create and customize the character. That brings us to the first question: what race should you go for when creating the character? Let's find out, shall we?

Best Feral Druid Races

When it comes to races, with so many options to choose from, you are probably wondering what would be the best race for the Feral spec. In World of Warcraft, each race has different racial abilities and spells, but no races offer an immediate advantage compared to others regarding the Feral spec. I highly recommend choosing the race you like the most, aesthetically speaking.

The best talents to use while leveling to level 60 as a Feral Druid are:

Now let's check out how you should prioritize your abilities. Feral Druid Basic Rotation:

• 1. Keep up Rake on targets.
• 2. Unless the mob is going to live for a long time (like an elite) just use Primal Wrath to apply Rip, it's unusual for most mobs to last longer than 10 seconds.
• 3. Use Tiger's Fury on cooldown.
• 4. Use Shred or Swipe to generate combo points.
• 5. Don't be afraid to move on and let bleeds kill a target.
• 6. Dump combo points on Ferocious Bite if you want the mob to die fast.

In the next section of our Feral Druid Guide, we'll present the best talents to use for PvE end-game content, such as raiding and Mythic+ dungeons. In the end game, it's crucial to use the right talents and prioritize the skills you use depending on the activity. Choosing the best talents will significantly impact your performance as a DPS!
